Good for you. Great for UT. 

Austin Area Texas Exes, Inc., Dallas Texas Exes, Inc.
2018–2019 Raffle Official Rules 

Odds of winning will depend on the total number of entries received. Void where prohibited by law. These terms and conditions apply to the 2018-2019 raffle (the "Raffle") sponsored by the Austin Area Texas Exes, Inc. and Dallas Texas Exes, Inc. (“Sponsors”). 

1. ELIGIBILITY: The Raffle is open only to natural persons who are at least eighteen (18) years of age as of the beginning of the Raffle Period (as defined below). The Raffle may only be entered in or from the U.S.  

Employees of either of the Sponsors and the Ex-Students’ Association of the University of Texas (“Texas Exes”), and each of their respective directors and officers, and each of their respective immediate family members and persons living in their same household (whether legally related or not), are not eligible to participate in the Raffle or win the prize. 

2. HOW TO ENTER: The Raffle begins at 9:00 am on September 8, 2018 and ends on May 26, 2019 at 11:59pm (the “Raffle Period”).  There are two ways to enter the Raffle during the Raffle Period:   

• $100 Gift: You may enter the Raffle by making a minimum $100 gift to the Texas Exes Annual Giving (the “Gift”).  There is no limit on the number of gifts of a minimum of $100 that you can give and each gift counts as an entry. A single gift of more than $100 (e.g., $500) still only counts as one (1) entry.   

• Purchase of a Texas Exes Paid-in-Full Life Membership: You may enter the Raffle by purchasing a paid-in-full Texas Exes life membership (the “Life Membership”). There is no limit on the number of memberships that you can purchase and each such membership counts as an entry. 

There are no limits on the number of entries per person during the Raffle Period and you will automatically be entered into the Raffle for each Gift and Life Membership.   

In the event of a dispute about the identity of an entrant, each entry will be declared made by the person who made the Gift or purchased the Life Membership, as long as that person meets all other eligibility requirements in these "Official Rules" (and will otherwise be disqualified). With respect to any winning entry, the winner may be required to provide Sponsors with proof that the person is the person made the gift or purchased the life membership associated with the winning entry. No third-party entry or entry through a sweepstakes service is permitted. Only eligible entries actually received in compliance with the Official Rules during the Raffle Period will be included in the drawing for prizes. For purposes of these Official Rules, "receipt" of an online entry occurs when a Sponsor receives (a) the Gift (together with the entrant’s email address) or (b) the purchase of the Life Membership (together with the entrant’s email address).  Any Gift or purchased Life Membership (together with the entrant’s email address) that is sent by U.S. mail must be received by no later May 25, 2018. Any automated computer receipt (such as a "thank you" message or one confirming delivery of entry) does not constitute proof of actual receipt by a Sponsor of an entry for purposes of these Official Rules. No automatic, programmed, robotic or similar means of entry are permitted, and Sponsors reserve the right to disqualify any individual using such a method. All entries become the sole and exclusive property of Sponsors and will not be acknowledged or returned. Sponsors are not responsible for lost, late, illegible, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted or garbled entries, which will be disqualified, or for problems of any kind, whether mechanical, human or electronic. Failure to comply with these Official Rules may result in disqualification from the Raffle. The database clock of the Ex-Students’ Association of The University of Texas’s (“Texas Exes”) website will be the official time keeper for this Raffle. 

3. PRIZES: The prize in connection with the Raffle is a 2018 Chevy Bolt (ARV$38,640.00). The winner must take delivery of the prize at 2110 San Jacinto Blvd, Austin, TX 78712.  

Any difference between the Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) and actual retail value of a prize will not be awarded to the winner. The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received. The prize is not transferable or redeemable for cash or exchanged for any other goods. The stated ARV of the prize is based on available information provided to Sponsors and the value of the prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. No substitution allowed except, at Sponsors’ sole discretion, a prize of equal or greater value may be substituted.  

The winner will be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and for any registration fees, documentation fees and any other fees or costs associated with the prize they receive. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited. 

ENTRANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE PRIZES ARE AWARDED “AS IS” WITH NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY SPONSORS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE PRIZES’ QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  SPONSORS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ENTRANTS FOR ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR COSTS INCURRED AS A RESULT OF ENTRANT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE RAFFLE OR THE ACCEPTANCE, POSSESSION, USE OF, OR FAILURE TO RECEIVE, ANY PRIZE. SPONSORS HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR A WINNER’S INABILITY TO ACCEPT OR UTILIZE THE PRIZE. WINNER ASSUMES LIABILITY FOR LOSSES OR INJURIES CAUSED OR CLAIMED TO BE CAUSED BY PARTICIPATING IN THE RAFFLE, OR BY THE ACCEPTANCE, POSSESSION, USE OF, OR FAILURE TO RECEIVE, ANY PRIZE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ENTRANTS AND/OR WINNER BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN AWARDS FOR, AND ENTRANTS AND/OR WINNER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO CLAIM, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND ANY OTHER DAMAGES OTHER THAN FOR ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE, AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED. 

4. SELECTION OF WINNER: The winner will be selected in a random drawing on June 7, 2019, from among all eligible entries by Sponsors or a representative selected by Sponsors, whose decisions are final in all matters relating to this Raffle. Eligible entries are those that comply with these Official Rules. Sponsors reserve the right to disqualify any participant or winner and may refuse to award the prize to a person who is ineligible or has violated any rule, gained unfair advantage in participating in the Raffle, or obtained winner status using fraudulent means.   

5. WINNER NOTIFICATION: The potential winner will be notified via email, within approximately ten (10) days after the potential winner is selected. “Notification” is deemed to have occurred immediately upon sending of an e-mail. In order for a potential winner to claim their prize, the potential winner must respond within ten (10) days of Notification and may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability Release and a Publicity Release (where legal), and any other additional documents required by Sponsors (the “Required Documents”) within ten (10) days of date of Notification. Failure to comply within this time period, or if prize notification is returned as non-deliverable or not returned properly executed, or if a potential winner declines the prize, or is found to be ineligible, or not in compliance with these Official Rules, it will result in the potential winner forfeiting the prize and being disqualified and an alternate potential winner being selected from among remaining eligible entries.
