Terms of Use

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

AllCarGiveaways (allcargiveaways.com) is owned and operated by AllCarGiveaways (“AllCarGiveaways,” “we,” “us” or “our”). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and us. They cover the website, our email alerts, the AllCarGiveaways Pro membership, our RSS and JSON feeds, and anything else we offer that links to these Terms (together, the “Service”).

By using the Service, signing up for alerts or buying Pro, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service. Our Affiliate Disclosure, Editorial Policy and Copyright and DMCA Policy are part of these Terms. If you buy advertising from us, our Advertiser Terms also apply.

2. What the Service is, and what it isn't

AllCarGiveaways is an independent directory and research site about vehicle giveaways and sweepstakes run by other companies and organizations (“sponsors”). We:

• don't sponsor, run, administer or judge any giveaway listed on the Service;
• don't take, process or sell entries, tickets or chances;
• don't choose winners, or hold, award, ship or deliver prizes;
• aren't a lottery, raffle, gambling or gaming operator, and aren't an agent, partner or representative of any sponsor; and
• aren't affiliated with or endorsed by any sponsor, giveaway administrator or vehicle manufacturer. Some sponsors pay for listings marked “Sponsored,” but a paid placement isn't an endorsement of the sponsor or a guarantee of anything about its giveaway.

When you enter a giveaway, buy from a sponsor or claim a prize, you deal with the sponsor directly, on its own site and under its official rules and terms. The official rules are an agreement between you and the sponsor; we aren't a party to it. If anything on the Service differs from a giveaway's official rules, the official rules govern.

We only list giveaways whose official rules offer a free way to enter. No purchase is necessary to enter or win any giveaway listed here. Void where prohibited.

We will never tell you that you've won a prize, ask you to pay a fee or “taxes” to collect one, or ask for your bank or card details by email, text or social media message. Anyone who does that in our name is a scammer. Please report it to us and to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.

3. The information on the Service

We build our listings from giveaways' official rules, sponsors' own sites and announcements, public records such as state business registries, and public ad libraries, and we check the details carefully. But:

• Information can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Sponsors change rules, deadlines, addresses, prizes and entry limits, and end or cancel giveaways, often without notice.
• Dates, countdowns, prize values, cash alternatives, odds, entry counts, costs and similar figures come from sponsors or are our estimates. They aren't guarantees.
• Our summaries, notes, flags and labels (for example “Ending soon,” “PO box,” “Virtual mailbox,” “Appears residential” or “Unconfirmed”) are our reading of the sources on the date shown. They describe what we found. They aren't accusations, findings of wrongdoing, ratings, certifications or endorsements, and a missing record means only that we didn't find one.
• Headings such as “Is [sponsor] legit?” introduce the sourced facts we found so you can judge for yourself. We don't rate, certify or vouch for any sponsor or giveaway.

You're responsible for checking the official rules and the sponsor's own information before you enter, buy, mail anything or rely on a deadline. We aren't responsible for any entry that is lost, late, misdirected, incomplete, ineligible, disqualified or void, including entries prepared using our mail-in kit, planner, addresses, dates, card sizes, templates or instructions.

4. No professional advice

Everything on the Service, including our guides, the tax calculator, odds and value figures, and the mail-in planner, is general information. It isn't legal, tax, accounting, financial or investment advice, and using the Service doesn't create a professional or fiduciary relationship. Tax rules depend on your circumstances and change; talk to a qualified professional before you make decisions. Nothing on the Service, including Pro, can improve your chance of winning a random drawing.

5. Who can use the Service

The Service is meant for adults in the United States. You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live, if that's older) to sign up for alerts, buy Pro or advertise with us, and children under 13 may not use the Service. You're responsible for meeting each giveaway's eligibility requirements, such as age, residency and employee exclusions, and for following the laws that apply to you. If you use the Service for a business, you confirm you're authorized to accept these Terms for it.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service in a way that breaks any law or infringes anyone's rights;
• copy, scrape, crawl or harvest the Service's data, archives or images in bulk, by automated means or otherwise, or use them to build or train a competing directory, database or dataset. Search engines and AI answer services may index public pages in line with our robots.txt and link back to us;
• frame or mirror the Service, or remove or change any notice, credit or label, including “Sponsored” labels;
• interfere with, overload, probe or get around the security of the Service or our email and membership systems, or access anything you aren't authorized to access;
• sign anyone else up for alerts, give false information, or abuse our forms;
• share, sell or transfer Pro access, or use our sign-in links or tokens other than as intended;
• impersonate us, a sponsor, a winner or anyone else, or falsely suggest that we endorse you; or
• send us false corrections, submissions or legal notices.

We may block, suspend or end anyone's access if we believe they've broken these Terms or the law.

7. Our content, and your license to use it

The Service and everything we create for it, including our text, research, summaries, data and its selection and arrangement, rules archive, design, software, and the AllCarGiveaways name and logo, belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Subject to these Terms, we give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to view and use the Service for your own non-commercial purposes. You may share links, and quote short passages with credit and a link back. Anything else needs our written permission.

Third-party material. Sponsor names and logos, prize photos, quotations from official rules and winner announcements belong to their owners. We use them to identify and report on giveaways, with credit where we can, and their use doesn't imply any affiliation or endorsement. If you own material on the Service and want it credited differently or removed, see our Copyright and DMCA Policy.

Trademarks. Vehicle makes, models and logos are trademarks of their manufacturers, and sponsor names are trademarks of their owners. We use them only to identify vehicles and giveaways. We aren't affiliated with or endorsed by any vehicle manufacturer.

8. Things you send us

If you send us a correction, tip, giveaway submission, photo, comment or other feedback (a “Submission”), you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and sublicensable license to use, copy, edit, adapt, publish and display it in connection with the Service, without payment or credit. You confirm that you have the right to grant that license, and that your Submission is accurate and doesn't break the law or infringe anyone's rights. Please don't send us anything confidential. We don't have to use any Submission.

9. Links, affiliate links and ads

The Service links to sponsors and other sites we don't control. Their content, products, prizes, giveaways, terms and privacy practices are their responsibility, not ours, and you use them at your own risk. Some links are affiliate links, some listings are paid placements labelled “Sponsored,” and we show ads from third parties; our Affiliate Disclosure explains how. An ad, link or placement isn't an endorsement.

10. Email alerts

Alerts are free. We send them only after you confirm your address, and every email has an unsubscribe link. Some alert emails include sponsored listings or are sponsored, and those are labelled. Alerts are a convenience: we don't promise that an alert will be sent, arrive, arrive on time or cover every giveaway, so don't rely on them alone to meet a deadline.

11. Pro membership

11.1 What you get

Pro is an optional paid membership that removes ads and adds tools, as described on the Pro page when you subscribe. Features marked “Rolling out” aren't available yet. We may improve, change or replace features. If we stop offering ad-free browsing or end Pro, we'll refund the unused part of any prepaid period.

11.2 Automatic renewal

Pro is a subscription that renews automatically until you cancel. The monthly plan (currently $5 a month) renews every month, and the yearly plan (currently $39 a year) renews every year. At the start of each new period, we charge the payment method you gave us, through our payment processor Stripe, at the price shown when you subscribed plus any applicable tax, unless we've told you about a price change as described in 11.4. There's no minimum term. By subscribing, you authorize these recurring charges.

11.3 How to cancel

You can cancel online at any time, from the link in our subscription emails, or by emailing hello@allcargiveaways.com. Cancelling stops future renewals. Pro stays on until the end of the period you've already paid for, and you won't be charged again.

11.4 Renewal reminders and price changes

If you're on the yearly plan, we'll email you a reminder about a month before each renewal, and monthly members get a reminder at least once a year. If we change the price of Pro, we'll email you 7 to 30 days before the new price applies to you, with how to cancel. A new price applies only from your first renewal after that notice, and you can cancel before then. If we promised you a launch price for as long as you stay subscribed, we'll keep that price while your subscription stays active.

11.5 Refunds

Payments are non-refundable, and we don't give credits for part of a period, except as these Terms say or the law requires. But if a renewal charge catches you out, email us within 14 days of the charge and we'll refund it and cancel your subscription.

11.6 Payment

Stripe processes payments under its own terms, and we never see or store your full card number. If a payment fails, we may pause Pro until it's resolved. You're responsible for keeping your payment details current and for any taxes on your purchase.

11.7 Your membership

Pro is for you personally. It's kept in your browser after you sign in with your email, and you can turn it on in another browser from the Pro page. We may suspend or end Pro without a refund if you break these Terms; if we end your membership for any other reason, we'll refund the unused part of your paid period.

12. Sponsors and advertisers

If you buy a sponsored listing, an email placement or other advertising, our Advertiser Terms also apply. Paying us never changes what we report about a giveaway or sponsor.

13. Copyright complaints

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Our Copyright and DMCA Policy explains how to send a notice or a counter-notice. In appropriate circumstances we end the memberships, advertising and access of people who repeatedly infringe.

14. Corrections and disputes about what we publish

If you think something we published is wrong, including something about you or your company, please tell us first: email hello@allcargiveaways.com with the page, what's wrong and any source. We review every request and fix errors promptly. Our Editorial Policy explains how we handle corrections, responses from sponsors, and requests to remove a winner's name or a home address.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, THE SERVICE AND ALL INFORMATION, TOOLS AND CONTENT ON IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ACCURACY. WE DON'T WARRANT THAT ANY INFORMATION ON THE SERVICE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR CURRENT; THAT ANY GIVEAWAY IS LEGITIMATE, LAWFUL OR STILL OPEN, OR WILL AWARD ITS PRIZE; THAT ANY SPONSOR WILL FOLLOW ITS RULES OR DELIVER A PRIZE; THAT YOUR ENTRY WILL BE ACCEPTED OR VALID; OR THAT THE SERVICE OR ALERTS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE. YOU USE THE SERVICE, AND DEAL WITH SPONSORS AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES, AT YOUR OWN RISK.

16. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS: (A) NEITHER WE NOR OUR OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, PRIZES, PRIZE VALUE OR ENTRIES, OR THE COST OF ENTRY MATERIALS OR POSTAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, ANY GIVEAWAY, OR ANY SPONSOR OR OTHER THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD THEY WERE POSSIBLE; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITS APPLY WHATEVER THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE), AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. They don't limit any liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited, such as liability for fraud, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct where the law forbids limiting it.

17. Indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our owners, officers, employees, contractors and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or the law, your Submissions, your misuse of the Service, or your dealings with any sponsor or other third party. We may take over the defense of any such claim at our own cost, and you'll cooperate with us.

18. Dispute resolution: arbitration and class action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

18.1 Talk to us first

Before starting an arbitration or a court case, the party with a claim must send the other a written notice that describes the claim and the relief wanted: to us at hello@allcargiveaways.com, and to you at the email address we have for you. We'll both try in good faith to resolve it informally for 60 days. Any time limit for bringing the claim is paused during those 60 days.

18.2 Agreement to arbitrate

If we can't resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, including their formation, interpretation, enforceability or scope (a “Dispute”), will be resolved by binding individual arbitration instead of in court, except as 18.4 allows. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.

18.3 How arbitration works

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and, where they apply, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, both available at adr.org, before a single arbitrator. Hearings may take place by video or phone, on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or anywhere else we both agree. We'll pay any AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees beyond what you would pay to file a case in court, unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only as far as needed to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

18.4 Exceptions

Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies and stays there. Either of us may also go to court to stop the infringement or misuse of intellectual property, or unauthorized access to the Service.

18.5 Class action and jury trial waiver

YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If this waiver is found unenforceable for any claim, that claim alone will be severed and decided by a court, after any individual claims have been arbitrated. A request for public injunctive relief that the law doesn't allow to be waived will also be decided by a court, after the individual claims have been arbitrated.

18.6 Time limit

To the extent the law allows, a Dispute must be brought within one year after it arose, or it is permanently barred.

18.7 Opting out

You can opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing hello@allcargiveaways.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms (for example, by signing up for alerts or Pro). Include your name, the email address you use with us, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out doesn't affect anything else in these Terms.

18.8 Changes to this section

If we change this section, the change won't apply to any Dispute we had notice of before the change. You can reject a change by emailing us within 30 days after it takes effect, and the version you last accepted will continue to apply.

18.9 Severability

If any part of this section is found unenforceable, apart from the class action waiver (covered in 18.5), the rest still applies. If this whole section is found unenforceable, or you opted out, section 19 applies.

19. Governing law and courts

The Federal Arbitration Act governs section 18. Otherwise these Terms, and any Dispute, are governed by the laws of the state where we have our principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any Dispute that isn't arbitrated will be decided only by the state and federal courts for the county where we have our principal place of business, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction, except that small claims may be brought where you live. If you're a consumer, nothing in this section takes away protections that the law of the state where you live gives you and that can't be waived by contract.

20. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may change, pause or stop any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms. We'll post the new version here with a new date, and for a material change we'll give reasonable notice, such as an email to members and subscribers or a notice on the site. A change takes effect when we post it, except that a material change takes effect 30 days after we post or announce it, unless it's needed sooner for legal or security reasons. If you don't agree to a change, stop using the Service and cancel Pro; if you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept it.

21. Ending these Terms

You can stop using the Service at any time: cancel Pro and unsubscribe from alerts. We may suspend or end your access as these Terms describe. Sections that by their nature should survive will survive, including sections 3, 4, 7, 8 and 15 to 22.

22. Everything else

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the documents they refer to are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service, and replace any earlier agreement on the subject.
• Severability and waiver. If a court or arbitrator finds part of these Terms unenforceable, it will be enforced as far as possible and the rest stays in effect. If we don't enforce a right, we haven't waived it.
• Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms. We may transfer them, for example as part of a merger, sale of assets or reorganization.
• No partnership. These Terms don't create a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship, and nobody else has rights under them.
• Events outside our control. We aren't responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages at our providers.
• Electronic notices. You agree to receive agreements, notices and other communications from us electronically, by email or on the Service, and that they satisfy any legal requirement to be in writing.
• Headings. Headings and the summary at the top are for convenience and don't change the meaning of these Terms.
• California users. Under California Civil Code section 1789.3, California users are entitled to this notice: the Service is provided by AllCarGiveaways, contactable at hello@allcargiveaways.com. Using the site is free; Pro costs what the Pro page shows. You can contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by phone at (800) 952-5210.
