A maximum of one Text per person will be accepted for the purposes of the Contest. By submitting their Text, participants agree to be bound by these official Contest Rules. All Texts become the exclusive property of the Contest Organizer and will not be returned to participants. Participants will not receive an acknowledgment of receipt of their Text. The Contest Organizer declines any obligation to notify a participant whose Text is incomplete or otherwise non-compliant. The Contest Organizer cannot be held responsible for any Text received late or that is invalid, incomplete or misdirected and therefore excluded.
Contest participants must respect the following limitation(s) or otherwise risk being disqualified:
- Limit of one (1) entry form per person and per email address during the Contest Period. More specifically, each participant may use only one email address to participate in the Contest, regardless of the number of email addresses they may have.
All entries are subject to verification. Should the Contest Organizer discover that an entrant has attempted: (1) to submit more than one entry form during the Contest Period or (2) has used more than one email address to enter the Contest, the entrant will be disqualified from the Contest, at the Contest Organizer’s sole discretion, and all entry forms for that entrant will be declared ineligible for the purposes of the Contest. The Contest Organizer reserves the right, at its sole and complete discretion, to require proof of identity and eligibility for the Contest, in such form as is acceptable to the Contest Organizer, from all contest participants. Inability to provide such proof by the required deadline could lead to a participant’s disqualification.
Two (2) winners will win one of the two (2) prizes available and drawn from valid entry forms. The prices offered are as follows (the "Prizes") :

The credit balance of the winner’s customer account will be $0.
Two (2) participants will be drawn at random among eligible entries by the Contest Organizer, as follows:
A random draw for the award of each Prize will be conducted by a representative of the Organizer at its office located at 1200 McGill College Avenue, 6th Floor, in Montreal, Province of Quebec, on May 1, 2023. Each random draw will take place at the Hilo offices in Montreal, Quebec. Within twenty-four (24) hours of the date of the draw, each draw’s selected participant will be contacted using the contact details provided in their entry form, in order to be informed that they are eligible to win one of the Prizes (the “Prize Notification”). Should any selected participant fail to respond or act upon their Prize Notification within forty-eight (48) hours of its being sent, or should they in any way not comply with these Official Rules, they will be disqualified and another participant will be chosen at random from among remaining entries. Any bounced or returned Prize Notification that as a result could not be issued may result in disqualification, in which case another participant will be chosen at random from among remaining entries. Entry forms that are declared winners for a draw may not be used again for any subsequent draws made for the purposes of this Contest or for any future contest or draw organized by the Contest Organizer.
The chance of a participant’s entry being randomly selected for a Prize depends on the total number of entries received during the Contest Period.
In order to be declared a winner and claim their Prize, participants whose entry is randomly selected for a Prize must:
a) Have signed the Declaration and Release Form and returned it to the Contest Organizer before May 19, 2023.
b) Correctly answer the mathematical skill question on the declaration and exemption form.
Should a winner fail to fulfill any of the conditions outlined in these Contest Rules or fail to reach the Contest Organizer within the specified time limit, or should a Prize be refused, the selected participant will be disqualified and will not be able to claim a Prize. In such cases, the Contest Organizer may, at its discretion, rescind the Prize or proceed to hold a new draw in accordance with the procedure outlined in these Contest Rules, until such time as another participant is selected and declared a winner.
Upon reception of the duly signed Declaration and Release Form, the Contest Organizer will confirm the nature of the Prize.
Verification. The entry and Declaration and Release form may be subject to verification by the Contest Organizer. All entries or Declaration Forms that are incomplete, unreadable, fraudulent, or recorded or submitted after the deadline, or that include an invalid email or phone number, an incorrect answer to the mathematical skill-testing question, or that otherwise do not conform to these Rules, may be rejected and do not confer a right to enter the Contest or win a Prize.
