Official Rules
Last updated 2026-07-21
Draft template — populated with this edition’s real terms but not yet reviewed by an attorney. Have counsel licensed in your state review this before the giveaway goes live.
1. Sponsor
This sweepstakes (each dated edition, including SFLK-01, a “Giveaway”) is sponsored by SFLK, [LEGAL ENTITY PENDING FORMATION] (“Sponsor”, “SFLK”), of [SPONSOR STREET ADDRESS PENDING], Florida, USA. This section must name the registered entity and a real street address before any edition opens.
2. Eligibility
Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and D.C. who are 18 years of age or older at time of entry. Subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, and void where prohibited — including any jurisdiction whose law would make this Giveaway or any part of it unlawful, and any jurisdiction Sponsor names on this page before an edition opens.
Not eligible:Sponsor’s employees, officers, directors and agents; the independent drawing administrator named in Section 9 and its personnel; any advertising, promotion, fulfilment or prize-supply partner working on a Giveaway and its personnel; and in each case their immediate families and household members.
3. Entry Period
Each edition has its own entry period and its own close date. The entry period for SFLK-01 opens when entries first become available for that edition and runs until August 24, 2026 at 11:59 PM EDT. An edition closes at that moment or when it reaches the capacity published on its page, whichever comes first. Entries received or postmarked after an edition has closed are not eligible for that edition. All times are Eastern.
Sponsor may run more than one edition at the same time, with overlapping and staggered entry periods. Where editions overlap, an entry earned while both are open counts toward both — see Sections 4 and 5.
4. How to Enter — Purchase
Any purchase in the SFLK shop earns entries at a flat rate of $1 = 5 entries, applied automatically at checkout. The rate is the same on every item, including bundles: a bundle is priced below the sum of its parts, and the saving is in the price rather than in a better entry rate. The VIP monthly subscription earns at $1 = 10 entries, applied automatically each billing cycle for as long as the subscription stays active.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. Every entry a purchase can earn — including the VIP rate and any multiplier — can be obtained free by mail under Section 5, at the same weight in the same drawing. See Section 7 for odds.
Orders enter every edition that is open. Where more than one edition is accepting entries at the time of your order, the entries your order earns are credited in full to each of them — they are not divided between editions. An order earning 300 entries while two editions are open earns 300 entries in each, not 150 in each. The editions your order enters are fixed at checkout and shown to you before you pay; an edition closing while your payment is in progress does not remove entries you were already shown.
5. How to Enter — Free, No Purchase Necessary (AMOE)
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. To enter without making a purchase, hand-print your full name, mailing address, email address, and date of birth on a 3″×5″ card or piece of paper, and mail it in a stamped envelope to:
SFLK ENTRY DEPT
[ADDRESS PENDING]
Each outer envelope receives 175 entries — the same number a $35 purchase earns. You may mail as many separate envelopes as you wish. Each entry received this way is weighted identically to a paid entry in the drawing. Entries must be postmarked before the entry period closes and received within 10 days after it closes to be eligible.
How mailed entries must be prepared. One entry per outer envelope. Each envelope must be separately hand-addressed and separately stamped, and hand-printed by the entrant. Mechanically reproduced, photocopied, printed-label, bulk-mailed or metered entries are void, as are entries submitted by an agent or service on an entrant’s behalf. Sponsor may void entries that appear to originate from a common source or to have been prepared in bulk, and may require reasonable proof of identity before crediting entries or awarding a prize.
Claiming a multiplier by mail. If an Entry Multiplier Promotion (Section 6) — including the Daily Boost — is running on the date your envelope is postmarked, hand-print “DAILY BOOST” in the lower-left corner of the outer envelope and the multiplier in effect on that postmark date will be applied to that envelope’s 175 entries, exactly as it would to a purchase. No purchaser can obtain a multiplier that a mail-in entrant cannot.
Claiming the VIP rate by mail. The VIP subscription (Section 4) earns entries at 10 per dollar rather than 5. That better rate is available without any purchase: hand-print “VIP RATE” in the lower-left corner of the outer envelope and that envelope earns 350 entries instead of 175 — the same proportion by which a VIP purchase out-earns an ordinary one. You do not need to be a subscriber, and no subscription, payment or account is required to claim it. Both claims may be written on the same envelope and both will be applied.
A mailed entry enters every open edition, on the same terms as a purchase. Where more than one edition is accepting entries on your postmark date, your envelope’s 175 entries are credited in full to each of them, and are not divided between editions. A purchase and an envelope reach the same number of editions and carry the same weight in each.
6. Entry Multiplier Promotions
From time to time, Sponsor may run promotions that multiply the entries earned on a specific item or across the shop for a limited time, including a recurring Daily Boost that applies a 30x entry multiplier to one item each day on a fixed, published rotation. Multiplier promotions are announced on the site and apply automatically to qualifying purchases made during the promotion window.
Every multiplier Sponsor offers is equally available without purchase. A mail-in entry postmarked on a day a multiplier is running receives that same multiplier when the envelope is marked as described in Section 5. Sponsor will not run a promotion that a mail-in entrant cannot claim.
The multiplier that applies to your order is fixed when your checkout is created. It is shown on your order before you pay and it does not change after that, even if the multiplier rotates while you are paying. Your quote is valid until the expiry time shown at checkout. If a rotation occurs between the moment your checkout was created and the moment your payment completes, the multiplier you were shown is the one applied — Sponsor absorbs the difference and will not reduce entries after payment. The same rule applies to a mailed entry by postmark date.
7. Odds of Winning
Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received for that edition, across both paid and free entry methods. Every entry — paid or mailed in — is weighted identically in the random drawing.
8. Prizes
The prize for SFLK-01 is The Aurora Build, with an approximate retail value (ARV) of $1,700. Actual value may vary at time of award. Prizes are awarded “as is” with no warranty from Sponsor. No cash alternative unless stated otherwise; Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value.
9. Winner Selection & Notification
One winner per edition will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries after the entry period closes. The drawing is conducted by [DRAWING ADMINISTRATOR — TO BE NAMED BEFORE THE FIRST DRAW]. Winners are contacted using the email address or mailing address provided at entry — never by social-media direct message as first contact. Sponsor will never ask a winner to pay a fee, tax, shipping charge or release fee of any kind to claim a prize. See Scam alert.
How the drawing is made verifiable.Before the entry period closes, Sponsor publishes a cryptographic commitment (a SHA-256 hash) to a secret random seed. After entries close, the drawing combines that seed with a value from a public randomness beacon that Sponsor does not control and cannot predict. Sponsor then publishes the seed, the beacon value and its source, the entrant list with each entrant’s entry count, and the winning ticket number — enough for any entrant to recompute the result independently and confirm it matches. The published seed can be checked against the commitment made before entries closed, which is what demonstrates the seed was not chosen after the entrant list was known.
The entrant list is published under handles, not names. Each entrant appears as a short reference derived from their entry record — never a name, email address or mailing address. The reference is what the ticket ranges are ordered by, so the draw stays fully recomputable by a stranger, and a different reference is used in every edition so entries cannot be linked across draws. Sponsor tells you your own reference when your entry is recorded, so you can find your line without disclosing anything. See Verify the draw for the method and a worked example.
Response deadline and alternate winners. A selected winner must respond to the notification within 7 days of the date it is sent, and may be required to sign an affidavit of eligibility and a liability and publicity release before the prize is awarded. If a winner cannot be reached within that period, does not respond, declines the prize, or is found ineligible, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected at random from the remaining eligible entries. Prizes are shipped within a reasonable period after eligibility is confirmed.
10. Winners List
The winner of each edition is published at sflk.example/winners. For a written list of winners, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
SFLK WINNERS LIST
[ADDRESS PENDING]
Requests must be received within 90 days of the date the relevant edition closed. Residents of Vermont may omit return postage.
11. Taxes
The winner is solely responsible for all federal, state and local taxes on the prize. Where the value of a prize is $2,000or more, Sponsor is required to issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC, and the winner must supply a completed IRS Form W-9 — including a valid taxpayer identification number — before the prize is released. A winner who does not supply it forfeits the prize and an alternate may be selected. The approximate retail value stated for each edition is what Sponsor reports; a winner’s own taxable amount is a matter between the winner and the IRS, and Sponsor does not give tax advice.
12. Limitation of Liability
By entering, entrants release Sponsor and its officers, employees and agents from any liability for loss, injury or damage arising from participation in the Giveaway or from acceptance, possession or use of a prize. Prizes are awarded “as is” and Sponsor makes no warranty, express or implied, beyond any manufacturer warranty that accompanies the prize.
13. Modification, Suspension and Force Majeure
If fraud, technical failure, or any other cause beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control — including acts of God, labour disputes, war, public-health emergency, or interruption of network or supplier service — corrupts the administration, security, fairness or proper conduct of an edition, Sponsor may modify, suspend, extend or terminate that edition. If an edition is terminated before its close, Sponsor will award the prize by random drawing from all eligible entries received up to the point of termination, and will refund purchases made for that edition where it is practicable to do so.
14. Refunds and Entry Reversal
Merchandise purchases are governed by the shop’s Terms. Where an order is refunded, cancelled or charged back, the entries granted by that order are void and are removed from the entry pool. Entries cannot be reversed after the drawing for the edition they were entered into has taken place.
15. Governing Law & Disputes
These Official Rules are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to a Giveaway shall be resolved individually, in a state or federal court located in [COUNTY PENDING] County, Florida, and entrants waive any right to participate in a class action except where that waiver is unenforceable by law. Entrants agree that any award is limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, excluding attorneys’ fees, except that nothing in these Rules limits an entrant’s claim to a prize they have won, and except where such a limitation is prohibited by law.
Severability. If any provision of these Official Rules is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision is severed and the remaining provisions stay in full force.
No waiver.Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules on one occasion does not waive that term or any other, and does not prevent Sponsor from enforcing it afterwards.
These Rules control.If anything in Sponsor’s advertising, social posts, packaging or other materials conflicts with these Official Rules, these Official Rules govern.
16. General Conditions
- Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entrant found to be tampering with the entry process or violating these rules, including use of bots, scripts, or multiple identities.
- Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, or undeliverable entries.
- By entering, entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final in all matters relating to the Giveaway.
17. Privacy
