“Big Win, Big Refund” Official Promotional Rules
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning. Void where prohibited. In order to participate in the Promotion, you may make a “Qualifying Purchase” (as defined below) or submit a mail-in entry (through the process described below) between September 30, 2024, and December 7, 2024 (“Entry Period”). A “Qualifying Purchase” is any purchase of eligible merchandise listed in the Appendix within these Official Rules, made at Pierce Furniture & Mattress in Muscatine, Iowa, and fully paid for and finalized by December 7, 2024.
Any individual who makes a Qualifying Purchase at Pierce Furniture & Mattress (the “Sponsor”) location is entitled to a full cash refund (excluding sales tax, delivery charges, and extended service agreements), if the University of Iowa wins the 2024 Big Ten Football Championship according to the official statistics of the governing body organizing the event.
If the University of Iowa wins the 2024 Big Ten Football Championship according to the official statistics of the governing body organizing the event, Pierce Furniture & Mattress will reimburse your Qualifying Purchase(s) in the form of a check. In order to receive this reimbursement, the original sales receipt must be presented along with a form of identification during the reimbursement period starting December 9, 2024, to January 30, 2025. A refund will only be given to the individual making the original purchase. In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually made the original purchase cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the reimbursement will be deemed ineligible. If for any reason this refund procedure is not followed, a refund will not be granted. Individual customers claiming a reimbursement will receive an IRS Form 1099 for the total amount of the reimbursement received. Federal, state, and local taxes are the sole responsibility of the individual customer.
Open only to legal United States residents who reside in Iowa who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. Officers, directors, and employees of Pierce Furniture & Mattress (“Sponsor”), its subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, and advertising and promotion agencies (collectively, the “Promotion Entities”) and the immediate family members, and/or those living in the same household of each, are ineligible to participate in the Promotion. The term “immediate family members” shall include spouses, parents and step-parents, siblings and step-siblings, and children and stepchildren. The term “household” refers to people who share the same residence at least three (3) months out of the year.
If the Big Ten Football Championship Game is canceled or forfeited for any reason, before, during, or after the scheduled Game date, this offer is void.
Persons with a criminal activity history involving Sponsor or who have otherwise been barred from doing business with Sponsor are not eligible to enter the Promotion.
In order to participate without making a purchase, eligible customers may visit a participating retail location and request a free entry from the Sponsor Administrator. The value of any refund for any free entry will be the average purchase price of all eligible sales.
Participants agree that the Promotion Entities shall not be responsible or liable for, and are hereby released from, any and all costs, injuries, losses or damages of any kind, including, without limitation, death and bodily injury, due in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to participation in the Promotion or any Promotion-related activity, or from participants’ acceptance, receipt, possession and/or use or misuse of any reimbursement. Sponsor assumes no responsibility for any damage to a participant’s or any other person’s computer system or wireless phone which is occasioned by accessing the website or otherwise participating in the Promotion, or for any computer system, phone line, hardware, software or program malfunctions, or other errors, failures, delayed computer transmissions or network connections that are human or technical in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sponsor is not responsible for incomplete, illegible, misdirected, misprinted, late, lost, damaged, stolen, or postage-due submissions or notifications; or for lost, interrupted, inaccessible or unavailable networks, servers, satellites, Internet service providers, websites, or other connections; or for miscommunications, failed, jumbled, scrambled, delayed, or misdirected computer, telephone or cable transmissions; or for any technical malfunctions, failures, difficulties or other errors of any kind or nature; or for the incorrect or inaccurate capture of information, or the failure to capture any information. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual who is found to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Promotion, to be acting in violation of these Official Rules, or to be acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with the intent to disrupt or undermine the legitimate operation of the Promotion, or to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, and Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor reserves the right to modify, extend, suspend, or terminate the Promotion if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Promotion is impaired or corrupted or that fraud or technical problems, failures or malfunctions or other causes beyond Sponsor’s control have destroyed or severely undermined or to any degree impaired the integrity, administration, security, proper play and/or feasibility of the Promotion as contemplated herein. These Official Rules cannot be modified or amended in any way except in a written document issued by a duly authorized representative of Sponsor. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein.
Prior to reimbursement, customers must execute an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release of Claims, and Publicity Release prepared by Sponsor (“Affidavit of Eligibility”). A person who refuses to execute the Affidavit of Eligibility supplied by Sponsor as a condition to the claiming of a reimbursement is not eligible to claim their reimbursement. Once a customer has been reimbursed for a Qualifying Purchase/s, any product included in a Qualifying Purchase will then be considered an award and will no longer be eligible for cash returns or refunds, but instead subject to in-store credit.
The decisions of Sponsor in all matters relating to the rules and administration of the Promotion shall be final.
