Summer Surge Terms and Conditions

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF WINNING.

The Summer Surge (“Contest”) is a sales competition hosted by Freedom Forever LLC (the “Host”). 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 “Contest Participant(s)”), (ii) are at least eighteen (18) years old, and (iii) live within the United States. This Contest is subject to federal, state, municipal, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited or restricted by law. Your participation in this Contest is voluntary. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

THE CONTEST AND TEAMS. The Contest will commence on April 28, 2024, and conclude on July 6, 2024 (the “Contest Period”). The Contest will include ten (10) rounds (“Round(s)”), taking place over the course of ten (10) weeks.

During the first nine (9) Rounds of the Contest, a specified number of winners will be selected at the conclusion of each Round (See “Contest Prizes”). The winners are selected based upon their individual point totals earned during a given Round, with the highest point earners being selected as winners. At the end of each Round, every Contest Participant’s points will reset to zero (0). Any points earned during a given Round will be archived and evaluated during the tenth (10th) Round. For illustration purposes only, if a Contest Participant earned 30 points during Round 1, he/she would begin Round 2 with zero points. However, those 30 points (and all other points earned during the Contest Period) will be considered when determining the Grand Prize winner, subject to the terms and conditions hereunder.

During the tenth (10th) Round of the Contest, each Contest Participant’s cumulative number of points will be evaluated, and one (1) grand prize winner will be chosen (the “Grand Prize winner”). The Grand Prize winner will be the Contest Participant with the highest number of points earned throughout the entire Contest Period.

CONTEST PRIZES. The following prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of each week of the Contest Period. Each prize may only be won once by a qualifying Contest Participant.

  • Round 1: Custom “Spring Surge” merchandise (ARV: $80.00). There will be five hundred and twelve (512) winners selected at the conclusion of Round 1 (May 4, 2024).
  • Round 2: A one-hundred dollar ($100.00) gift card to the Freedom Forever Store (ARV: $100.00). There will be two hundred and fifty-six (256) winners selected at the conclusion of Round 2 (May 11, 2024).

CONTEST POINT SYSTEM. During the Contest Period, each Contest Participant can earn points by achieving objectives. The VOLT app will host a Contest leaderboard that will be updated in real time, displaying the progress and total points earned for each Contest Participant.

  • Round 1:
    • For each appointment set = 1 point
    • For each deal closed = 1 point
  • Round 2:
    • For each appointment set = 2 points
    • For each deal closed = 2 points

*The Round 10 Grand Prize will be awarded to the contestant with the most cumulative points earned during the entire Contest Period.

The Host reserves the right to verify, remove or amend points for safety, quality, or customer satisfaction purposes. The Host reserves the right to remove or amend a Contest Participant’s points if the Host determines that he/she has violated any of the Contest rules. Any and all determinations made by Host hereunder are in its sole and absolute discretion.
