These Official Rules govern every contest unless a contest’s details page states otherwise.
1. PROMOTION OVERVIEW
The “BIKE SWEEPS” Sweepstakes ("Promotion") is sponsored by THE SW CYCLES TRUST, a common law Trust ("Sponsor"), located at P.O. Box 1234 Main St. Fort Myers, Fl 33905. The Promotion offers consumers the opportunity to purchase branded merchandise and receive sweepstakes entries toward winning a customized motorcycle ("Prize"), while also providing a no-purchase alternative method of entry. The Promotion is registered and bonded with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services pursuant to Florida Statute § 849.094.
2. PROMOTION PERIOD
Each contest has its own Promotion Period. The start time, end time, mail-in postmark deadline, and mail-in receipt deadline for each contest are listed under Live Promotions for that contest (See specific contest details). All times are Eastern Time ("ET") unless a contest states otherwise. The drawing will be conducted within thirty (30) days following the close of the Promotion Period. Sponsor's computer or designated timekeeping device is the official clock for this Promotion.
3. ELIGIBILITY
The Promotion is open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry, EXCEPT that residents of New York and Rhode Island are not eligible to enter or win. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.
The following persons are not eligible to participate: (a) employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives of Sponsor, its affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, prize suppliers, and fulfillment vendors; (b) content creators receiving commission compensation under the Promotion; and (c) immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling, and their respective spouses) and household members of any of the foregoing, whether or not related.
4. HOW TO ENTER
There are two (2) methods of entry. Regardless of entry method, all entries must be received during the Promotion Period. Entries received outside the Promotion Period are void.
METHOD 1 — PURCHASE ENTRY (ONLINE):
Visit bikestakes.com and purchase one (1) or more items of branded merchandise ("Merchandise") during the Promotion Period. Each one dollar ($1.00) of the pre-tax, pre-shipping purchase price paid equals one (1) sweepstakes entry. For example, purchase of one (1) branded shirt at $38.00 yields thirty-eight (38) entries; purchase of two (2) shirts at $76.00 yields seventy-six (76) entries. Entries are automatically recorded upon completion of a valid purchase transaction. Limit: entries per transaction are determined solely by the dollar amount of that transaction. There is no limit on the number of purchase transactions per entrant during the Promotion Period, subject to merchandise availability. Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, offer limited-time promotional bundle purchase opportunities during the Promotion Period in which qualifying purchases yield up to two (2) entries per dollar spent. All promotional bundle offers will be clearly disclosed at the time of purchase and are subject to these Official Rules.
METHOD 2 — FREE MAIL-IN ENTRY (AMOE):
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. To enter without purchase, handprint your first and last name, complete mailing address, date of birth, and daytime phone number on a plain 3" x 5" postcard and mail it to the AMOE address listed for that contest under Live Promotions (See specific contest details). Use the contest name as the first address line (for example, "BIKE SWEEPS Sweepstakes Entry").
One (1) entry will be awarded per outer mailing envelope received. There is no limit on the number of mail-in entries per entrant during the Promotion Period, provided each entry is mailed in a separate outer envelope. Typed, photocopied, mechanically reproduced, or computer-generated entries are not eligible. Entries must be handprinted. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, damaged, mutilated, illegible, incomplete, or postage-due mail. All mail-in entries must be postmarked no later than See specific contest details and received no later than See specific contest details.
Mail-in entries and purchase entries are entered into the same pool and have equal weight. One (1) mail-in entry equals one (1) purchase entry in the drawing.
5. ENTRY CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Entries generated by script, macro, bot, or any other automated means are void. Entries that are incomplete, corrupted, illegible, or that do not conform to these Official Rules are void. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who tampers with the entry process or the operation of the Promotion. In the event of a dispute regarding online entries, the entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of purchase. All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned.
6. PRIZE
Grand Prize (1): One (1) customized motorcycle as described and displayed during the Promotion Period. Approximate Retail Value ("ARV"): $38,000.00.
Prize Conditions & Cash Option: The Prize is awarded strictly on an "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" basis, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, VALUE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MECHANICAL RELIABILITY, ROADWORTHINESS, OR SAFETY. Except as expressly set forth herein, no cash equivalent, substitution, or transfer of the Prize is permitted by the Winner.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Promotion fails to reach Sponsor's minimum performance threshold of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) in Net Revenue during the Promotion Period, Sponsor reserves the sole and absolute discretion to substitute the Grand Prize with an alternative cash prize equal to forty one percent (41%) of total Net Revenue generated directly from the Promotion. For purposes of these Official Rules, "Net Revenue" is defined strictly as total gross merchandise revenue received by Sponsor during the Promotion Period less direct merchandise cost of goods sold (COGS).
Sponsor further reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised Grand Prize becomes unavailable due to circumstances beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control.
Winner Responsibilities: Winner is solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, as well as registration, title, licensing, insurance, transportation, and any other costs or fees associated with the acceptance, transfer, and use of the Prize. Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC to the Winner for the fair market value of the awarded Prize (or cash equivalent) as required by law. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Promotion Period.
7. PRIZE TRUST
The Prize Motorcycle shall be held in trust throughout the Promotion Period and shall not be encumbered, transferred, or disposed of prior to the drawing and verified award to the winner. The Prize shall be released from trust upon verification of winner eligibility and completion of all required winner documentation.
8. DRAWING AND WINNER SELECTION
One (1) winner will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. The drawing will be conducted by Sponsor or its designated independent administrator within thirty (30) days following the close of the Promotion Period. The drawing is subject to audit. Decisions of the Sponsor are final and binding in all matters relating to this Promotion.
9. WINNER NOTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION
The potential winner will be notified by telephone, email, or mail at the time of drawing.

Up to three (3) alternate winners may be selected in this manner.
10. CONTENT CREATOR PARTICIPATION

11. GENERAL CONDITIONS

In such event, Sponsor reserves the right to award prizes from among eligible entries received prior to the cancellation or suspension. Sponsor's failure to enforce any provision of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
