Giveaway Rules & Privacy Policy

Updated 7/1/10

1.) Each giveaway will have its own mandatory entry requirements. Anyone who does not follow the mandatory entry or entries will not be eligible to win. Bonus entries are offered to increase your chances of winning. You can take advantage of none, some or all of the bonus entry methods.

2.) All bloggers and non-bloggers must provide an email address OR have their address visible on their profile. If I am unable to contact you, I am unable to award you a prize. I will not chase you down!

3.) I respect the privacy of my followers and will use your email ONLY (a) to respond to your comment(s), (b) if you subscribe or opt-in to receive updates via reader or email, or (c) to communicate with you regarding a giveaway win. I will never EVER sell your email address to a third party. To limit the risk of spam, you can format your email as:

kristen (at) gmail (dot) net

4.) Entries received after the posted contest deadline will not be eligible to win. No exceptions.

5.) All winners are chosen via random number generator (www.random.org). I post winners at least once a week. All winners have 48 hours to respond to my congratulatory email. After 48 hours, the prize will be forfeited and another random winner will be chosen.

6.) All winners must be willing to provide me with their shipping information and phone number, which will be forwarded to the sponsor of the giveaway. All prizes are shipped directly from the sponsor. (Note: P.O. Boxes may not be accepted, in which case I will need your physical address). Please allow up to three weeks for delivery of your prize. If after three weeks, you still have not received your item, please contact me and I will follow-up on your behalf.

If you have any further questions or feedback about how my giveaways are conducted, please feel free to email me!
