How to Enter: Register at the John Frieda® Hair Care website:
During each of the Entry Periods, visit www.johnfrieda.com/en-us and
follow the links and instructions to complete and submit the registration
form including a valid email address. You automatically will receive
one (1) entry into the applicable Entry Period drawing.
Limit: One (1) entry per person/per email address, regardless of method
of entry for each Entry Period. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share
the same email address. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than one (1)
entry per Entry Period by using multiple/different email addresses, identities,
registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries
and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate
is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute
as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address
used to register will be deemed to be the entrant. The "authorized account
holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access
provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning
email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential
winner may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder.
-
Drawings:
Administrator is an independent judging organization whose decisions as to the
administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the
potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes.
Administrator will randomly select the potential winners from all eligible
entries received for each Entry Period, on or around March 21, 2012 and
October 24, 2012, respectively. Non-winning entries from the first Entry Period
will not carry-over into second Entry Period. The potential winners will be
notified by email and each potential winner (parent/legal guardian if winner is
a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to sign and return a
Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release (except where
prohibited) which must be received by Administrator, within seven (7) days of
the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize. If a
potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the Declaration of
Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release within the required time period,
or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the
prize. Upon prize forfeiture, no compensation will be given. Receiving a prize
is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that
a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the prize
to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible
entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the
applicable prize will remain unawarded.
-

General Conditions:
Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes,
or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond
Sponsor's reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the
Sweepstakes, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Sponsor reserves
the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be
tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be
acting in violation of the Official Rules of this or any other promotion or in
an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to
deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a
violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made,
Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest
extent permitted by law. Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official
Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

Limitations of Liability:
The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate
information, whether caused by entrants, printing errors or by any of the
equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes;
(2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to malfunctions,
interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software;
(3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the
Sweepstakes; (4) technical or human error which may occur in the administration
of the Sweepstakes or the processing of entries; (5) late, lost, undeliverable,

direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, to persons or
property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from
entrant's participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use or misuse of any
prize. If for any reason an entrant's entry is confirmed to have been
erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant's sole
remedy is another entry in the Sweepstakes, if it is possible. If the
Sweepstakes, or any part of it, is discontinued for any reason, Sponsor, in
its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible
entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all of the prizes
offered herein. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded.
In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other
reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these
Official Rules to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to
award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate,
un-awarded, eligible prize claims.
-
Disputes:
Except where prohibited, entrant agrees that: (1) any and all disputes,

form of class action, and exclusively by the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Michigan (Southern Division) or the appropriate
Michigan State Court located in Oakland County, Michigan; (2) any and all
claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs
incurred, including costs associated with entering this Contest, but in no
event attorneys' fees; and (3) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted
to obtain awards for, and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim, indirect,
punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other
than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages
multiplied or otherwise increased. All issues and questions concerning the
construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official
Rules, or the rights and obligations of the entrant and Sponsor in connection
with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict of law rules (whether of the State of Michigan or any other
jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Michigan.
