Give Freedom Terms and Conditions
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE OR WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF WINNING.
Give Freedom (“Give Freedom”) is a charitable initiative hosted by Freedom Forever LLC and GivePower Foundation, a Delaware non-profit corporation (the “Hosts”). The objective of Give Freedom is to provide solar energy options to individuals and communities with limited energy resources at no cost. By submitting your entries through Freedom Forever’s mobile app, “VOLT”, you acknowledge that you have read, reviewed, accepted, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, VOLT’s privacy policy and terms and conditions (viewable in the VOLT app), and by the Host’s decisions, which are final and binding. You also confirm that you are (i) either an employee of Freedom Forever or a contracted sales representative of an independent authorized dealer of Freedom Forever (hereinafter individually and collectively, the “Participant(s)”), (ii) are at least eighteen (18) years old, and (iii) live within the United States. Give Freedom is subject to federal, state, municipal, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited or restricted by law. Your participation in Give Freedom is voluntary. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.
DATES. Give Freedom will commence at 12:00 A.M. PST on August 5, 2024, and conclude at 11:59 P.M. PST on November 10th, 2024 (the “Give Freedom Period”).
THE INITIATIVE. During the Give Freedom Period, a Participant has the opportunity to contribute a portion of money earned on a sale to Give Freedom (the “Adder”). The Adder is not required and is solely at the option of the Participant. The Adder options are as follows*:
· One (1) cent ($0.01) per Watt
· Five (5) cents ($0.05) per Watt
· Ten (10) cents ($0.10) per Watt
· Twenty (20) cents ($0.20) per Watt
*Participants may opt to choose their Adder amount. For illustration purposes only, a Participant may choose to contribute twenty-five (25) cents ($0.25) as their Adder on a sale.
In exchange for a Participant’s Adder, they are eligible to receive various prizes. See “Prizes” below for more information.
The top Participants who contributed the highest total Adder amount during the Give Freedom Period will be chosen to join the Hosts on a volunteer trip. See “Team Trek” below for more information.
In addition to the prizes mentioned above, when a Participant chooses an Adder, they have the option to submit a household to win a free Freedom Forever solar system. Participants may submit a household each time they choose an Adder. A Participant may only nominate a household once. For illustration purposes only, a Participant may submit household A to win a free Freedom Forever solar system in one Adder, and household B in the next Adder; however, they may not submit either household A or B more than once. At the conclusion of the Give Freedom Period, Freedom Forever
will select the winner of the free Freedom Forever solar system from the households submitted by Participants. Submitting a household is entirely voluntary and Participants are not required to submit a household when choosing an Adder. There is no prize associated with submitting a household. For the avoidance of doubt, if a household that a Participant submitted is ultimately selected to receive the free Freedom Forever solar system, the Participant does not receive any consideration.
PRIZES. During the Give Freedom Period, Participants earn one (1) point for every cent ($0.01) per Watt contributed in their Adder.
The following prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the Give Freedom Period. Each prize may only be won once by a qualifying Give Freedom Participant.
· Five (5) Points: A Freedom Forever-branded t-shirt (ARV: $12.00).
· Ten (10) Points: A Freedom Forever-branded hat (ARV: $12.00).
· Twenty (20) Points: A Freedom Forever-branded water bottle and journal (ARV for the water bottle: $48.00; ARV for the journal: $12.00; Total ARV: $60.00).
· Thirty (30) Points: A Freedom Forever-branded sweatshirt (ARV: $22.00).
· Fifty (50) Points: A custom Freedom Forever-branded jersey (ARV: $32.00).
For illustration purposes only, a Participant with sixty (60) points at the conclusion of the Give Freedom Period will receive (1) a Freedom Forever-branded t-shirt; (2) a Freedom Forever-branded hat; (3) a Freedom Forever-branded water bottle and journal; (4) a Freedom Forever-branded sweatshirt; and (5) a custom Freedom Forever-branded jersey.
The Hosts reserve the right to verify, remove or amend points for safety, quality, or customer satisfaction purposes. The Hosts reserve the right to remove or amend a Participant’s points if the Hosts determine that he/she has violated any of the Give Freedom rules. Any and all determinations made by Hosts hereunder are in their sole and absolute discretion.
TEAM TREK. In addition to the prizes above, during August, September, and October, the top three (3) Participants who contributed the highest total Adder amounts to Give Freedom during each month will be selected to join the Hosts on a volunteer trip to install a solar system in a remote community in need of solar energy (“Team Trek”). For the avoidance of doubt, there will be three (3) top Participants selected at the end of August, three (3) top Participants selected at the end of September, and three (3) top Participants selected at the end of October, for a total of nine (9) Participants. All nine (9) Participants will have the opportunity to join one Team Trek. Participants may only be chosen as a top contributor once. For illustration purposes only, a Participant who is chosen as one of the top Give Freedom contributors for August may not be selected again as a top contributor for September or October. The date of the Team Trek is pending and subject to change. The Team Trek includes each Participant’s destination location transportation, meals, and lodging. Additional Team Trek details (e.g., dates, airfare, community selection, etc.) are pending and subject to change. Participation in the Team Trek is entirely optional, and Participants selected to join the Team Trek are permitted to decline at their discretion.
