  1. Submission Guidelines:

Comment must tag at least one (1) friend as per Rule 3 above; if comment tags no friend, no entry will be received. If a comment tags more than one (1) friend, the comment will only result in entry if each of the tagged friends satisfies all criteria set forth in Rule 3 above. (But, the number of friends tagged in comment will not affect an entrant’s odds of winning.) If comment is posted anywhere on Instagram OTHER THAN in response to the White Claw® Hard Seltzer X BlendJet® Social Media Sweepstakes post on @whiteclaw or on @blendjet (e.g., on one’s own Instagram account) such comment will not result in entry. If comment does not include #/WhiteClawSweepstakes, such comment will not result in entry. If a comment includes content in addition to the tagged friend(s), it will also not result in entry if it is determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion not to be in compliance with the following Content Restrictions. Including such additional content is purely optional and will not affect your odds of winning, provided that it is in compliance with the Content Restrictions.

Content Restrictions:

  1. The comment must be original; that is, comment must not violate the trademark, copyright, right of privacy, right of publicity or other rights of any third party (this includes but is not limited to obtaining the consent of tagged friend(s) beforehand, as discussed above);
  2. The comment must not be inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise unfit for publication (e.g., comment includes hate speech [including without limitation sexist or misogynist content], profanity, advocate violence, drug use or any illegal act [including without limitation advocating sedition, overthrow of or revolt against the U.S. Federal Government because of income tax laws]
  3. The comment must be relevant to the White Claw® Hard Seltzer X BlendJet® Social Media Sweepstakes post;
  4. The comment must not adversely affect the business reputation or goodwill of Mark Anthony Brands Inc., its White Claw® Hard Seltzer, BlendJet Inc. or any BlendJet® products;
  5. The comment must not reference persons consuming alcohol beverages;
  6. The comment must not state or imply that the consumption of alcohol beverages is appropriate in conjunction with undertaking any task that requires concentration or physical coordination (e.g., operating a motor vehicle);
  7. The comment must not reference persons who are not of legal drinking age;
  8. The comment must not include any material that may be of appeal to persons who are not of legal drinking age.

Subject only to the rights retained by Meta Platforms, Inc. (to the extent applicable), entrant grants to Sponsor and its designees (including BlendJet Inc.) the non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicenseable right and license to use, perform, exhibit, reproduce and/or otherwise exploit the comment in any manner and in any and all distribution channels, venues or media now known or hereafter devised, without further notice or any compensation to entrant. Entrant waives any “Moral Right of Authors” (Droit Moral) in the comment pursuant to U.S. law. Entrant further agrees, upon Sponsor’s request and without compensation, to sign any and all necessary and appropriate documents so as to effect, perfect or record such grant of license rights.

INSTAGRAM COMMENTS/ENTRIES REPRESENT SOLELY THE VIEWS/OPINIONS OF THE APPLICABLE ENTRANT AND DO NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS/OPINIONS OF SPONSOR OR BLENDJET INC. IN ANY MANNER. SPONSOR IS MERELY REQUESTING PERSONS TO POST COMMENTS TAGGING AT LEAST ONE (1) FRIEND (AND PERHAPS INCLUDING ACCOMPANYING CONTENT); AND, SPONSOR AND BLENDJET INC. DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN CONJUNCTION WITH SAME, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR MODERATING, MONITORING OR REVIEWING COMMENTS POSTED BY ENTRANTS. SPONSOR AND BLENDJET INC. WILL NOT EDIT OR MODIFY COMMENTS POSTED FOR THE SWEEPSTAKES IN CONJUNCTION WITH ADMINISTRATION OF THIS SWEEPSTAKES. 

  1. Entry Restrictions: Limit one (1) entry per person, family, household or address during the Sweepstakes Period regardless of the number of Instagram accounts that a person has; a person may enter at @whiteclaw OR at @blendjet, but NOT on both. (But, a person may enter him/herself AND be a tagged friend of one or more other entrants). Violation of this entry limit will result in only the initial entry received being accepted. But, Sponsor reserves the right to void all entries (and disqualify entrant from the Sweepstakes altogether as well as to prohibit such entrant from participating in future promotions offered by Sponsor) if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that a given person has engaged in egregious, blatant or repeated violations of the entry limit. For clarity, disqualification of an entrant will not affect the ability of other entrant(s) to tag him/her as a friend in their entries. Proof of submission of entry does not constitute proof of receipt of same or proof of entry. Receipt of entry may be acknowledged (including via comment posted by Sponsor on @whiteclaw or by BlendJet Inc. on @blendjet in response to comment posted by a given individual) but such acknowledgment does not constitute any representation of eligibility for the Sweepstakes nor is it otherwise binding upon Sponsor (or BlendJet Inc.). Entries generated by script, macro, robotic, programmed or like means are prohibited and will be disqualified. Use of third-party entities (e.g., commercial Sweepstakes services) to enter Sweepstakes on a person's behalf voids entry, will result in disqualification from Sweepstakes and possible prohibition from participating in future promotions offered by Sponsor. In the event of a dispute over the identity of an entrant, entry will be deemed submitted by the Authorized Account Holder of the e-mail account associated with the Instagram account used to enter the Sweepstakes as of date of entry.  Authorized Account Holder means the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the e-mail address corresponding to the Instagram account used to participate in the Sweepstakes.

If participating in the Sweepstakes via mobile device, message and data rates may apply. You may be charged by your wireless carrier for participating in the Sweepstakes by using your mobile device. It is therefore recommended that you consult your wireless carrier’s pricing plan BEFORE participating in the Sweepstakes via your mobile device. Not all mobile devices offer wireless Internet access and wireless Internet access may not be available in all areas.

Each winner will receive one (1) BlendJet® 2 Portable Blender, one (1) White Claw® branded Picnic Basket, and one (1) White Claw® Branded Turkish Blanket.
