The Contest Parties, Instagram, Inc., and each of their respective agents, employees, directors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) are not responsible for late, lost, misdirected, delayed, incomplete or incompatible Instagram Posts and/or Entries (all of which are void). Any Entry that does not follow the above format and requirements as provided in these Rules (as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion) will not be eligible for entry in this Contest. For any Entry to be valid, Account settings must not be protected/private such that the Sponsor is unable to detect that Entry. Instagram Account privacy settings may be adjusted by selecting the Settings menu for the applicable Account(s). By entering the Contest, each eligible entrant agrees to be legally bound by the terms and conditions of these Rules.

By accepting the Prize, the confirmed winner agrees to develop official contest rules and conduct his/her separate contest in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines (including, without limitation, Canadian contest laws and the Ad Standards Influencer Marketing Disclosure Guidelines). For greater certainty and the avoidance of any doubt, by accepting a Prize, the confirmed winner agrees to waive all recourse against the Released Parties if his/her Prize or a component thereof does not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part, and in connection with the conduct of his/her own contest.
- WINNER SELECTION PROCESS:
The potential winner will be selected on August 27, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. ET (“Winner Selection Date”). After the end of the Contest Period, eligible entrants will be asked to send a screenshot to the Agency showing the engagement rate of their Instagram Krinos feta recipe post. The Engagement Rate of each Entry will be calculated as follows: (likes + comments + saves + views (if applicable)/total reach x 100) (“Engagement Rate”). The eligible entrant with the highest Engagement Rate will be deemed the potential winner of the Prize.
Odds of being selected as the potential winner of the Prize depend on the number of eligible Entries submitted and the Engagement Rate of each Entry during the Contest Period, in accordance with these Rules, as determined by the Sponsor and the Agency, in their sole and absolute discretion. In the event of a tie between two or more eligible Entries based on Engagement Rate, the eligible entrant associated with the eligible Entry – from amongst all such eligible Entries that are tied – with the highest number of likes (followed in the event of a further tie by highest number of comments, then by highest number of saves, as applicable) will be selected as the potential winner of the Prize. In the event of an exact tie based on the number of likes, comments and saves, a random draw of those Entries that are tied will be held to determine the potential winner.
- SELECTED WINNER NOTIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION:
The Sponsor or its designated representative will make a minimum of three (3) attempts to notify the potential Prize winner by telephone, email or Instagram within approximately three (3) business days of the Winner Selection Date. Each entrant is solely responsible for ensuring his/her Instagram Account settings are set to receive any such notification message. If the potential Prize winner cannot be contacted within three (3) business days of the applicable Winner Selection Date, or if there is a return of any notification as undeliverable; then he/she may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, be disqualified (and, if disqualified, will forfeit all rights to the Prize) and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and time permitting, to select the eligible entrant with the next highest Engagement Rate from among the remaining eligible Entries submitted and received during the Contest Period (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to such newly selected eligible entrant).
