Eligibility

The Contest is open to participants who, as of the date of their submission of their entry, are legal residents of Canada and are the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence. The Contest is void outside of Canada and in those jurisdictions where prohibited or restricted by law. Directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and representatives of SCI, or of its parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates, along with members of those individuals’ immediate families or households, are not eligible to participate in the Contest.

How to Enter the Contest

To participate in the Contest, you need to do the following during the Contest Period:

  1. Take a photo featuring a Suzuki logo or product that is clear and identifiable (the “Photo”).

The submission of a Post in accordance with these Contest Rules will constitute an entry into the Contest.

There is no limit to the number of entries per individual during the Contest Period (as defined below). To be eligible to receive multiple entries, you must post multiple Posts using different Photos. For example, (i) sharing the same Photo on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram will only count as one entry into the Contest; and (ii) sharing different Photos on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram will count as three entries into the Contest. You acknowledge and agree that in the event you share multiple Photos, SCI reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether the Photos are sufficiently different so as to earn additional entries into the Contest.

The failure to submit all required information in the manner required in these Contest Rules may result in the disqualification of an entry, as determined by SCI in our sole discretion. SCI is not responsible for computer or network errors, problems with servers, problems with accounts or the failure to receive any entry for any reason whatsoever.

Odds and Winner Selection

The prizes will be awarded in the order drawn, subject to the potential winner fulfilling all requirements in connection with their acceptance of the prize. Ten (10) random weekly draws will be held each week From July-September 2024. SCI will create an excel spreadsheet with all handles and usernames of the participants that have submitted valid entries to the Contest across all social media platforms (i.e., Facebook, Instagram and Twitter). SCI will use Microsoft Excel to randomly select the potential winners. This document will only be kept in SCI’s internal file for the duration of the Contest.

Potential winners will be contacted via messenger app in Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, from Monday, July 15th – Friday, October 5th, 2024. The potential winner will be asked to answer a mathematical skill testing question in response to the notification. The potential winner must respond to the notification within 48 hours of SCI sending the notification to the potential winner to be eligible to accept their prize. The response must include a correct response to the skill-testing question. If no response is received within the required time period, another winner will be selected.

To be eligible to receive a prize, you must consent to SCI sharing your Post online, including on SCI’s and its affiliates’ websites, social media channels, and other digital platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
