Official Contest Rules

1. CONTEST SPONSOR.

Name: Xplore
Price range: $

The Xplore Connected Year Contest (the “Contest”) is sponsored by Xplore Inc. (the “Sponsor”).

2. CONTEST PERIOD.

The Contest consists of contest periods (each, a “Contest Period”). Each Contest Period begins at 12:00 a.m. ET on the 19th calendar day of a month and ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on the 18^th calendar day of the following month.

3. ELIGIBILITY

The Contest is open to individuals who meet ALL of the following criteria at the time of entry:

are legal residents of Canada;
have reached the age of majority in their province or territory of residence at the time of entry;
are existing residential customers of Xplore Internet with an active account in good standing prior to the first day of the Contest Period; and
are not employees, officers, directors, agents, contractors, service providers, and authorized representatives (including immediate family members and members of the same household) of the Sponsor or any of the Sponsor’s affiliates, subsidiaries, authorized dealers, advertising and promotional agencies, prize suppliers, and any other person or entity associated with the Contest.

4. HOW TO ENTER.

4.1 Referral Entry. During each Contest Period, an eligible entrant must submit a referral of a prospective new Xplore residential Internet customer using the method designated by Xplore (each, a “Referral Submission”). A Referral Submission is valid if it is submitted in compliance with the method, form and requirements specified by Xplore and contains all required information of the referred individual (a “Valid Referral Submission”). Each Valid Referral Submission earns the entrant one (1) entry into the applicable Contest Period prize draw, regardless of whether the referred individual subscribes to, purchases, installs, or activates Xplore Internet service. Multiple referrals of the same prospective customer by the same entrant will be counted as one (1) Valid Referral Submission only.

4.2 Mail-in Entry. No Purchase Necessary. To enter without making a referral, hand-print your full name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, and the statement “I wish to enter the Xplore Connected Year Contest” on a piece of paper and mail it to: Xplore Connected Year Contest, c/o Contest Administrator, PO BOX 9060,300 Lockhart Mill Road, Jacksonville, NB, E7M 6B5. Each mail-in submission constitutes one entry. There is no limit on the number of mail-in entries a participant may submit, provided that each entry is mailed in a separate envelope. To be eligible for the Contest, mail-in entries must be postmarked during the applicable Contest Period and received no later than seven (7) calendar days after the close of the Contest Period. Mailed entries are subject to the same entry conditions, eligibility requirements and other terms and conditions applicable to other entries.

5. QUALIFYING REFERRAL AND BILL CREDIT.

A “Qualifying Referral” occurs when a referred individual, as a direct result of the entrant’s Valid Referral Submission, satisfies all of the requirements for a qualifying referral set out in the reward policy for Xplore’s Refer-a-Friend program, as posted at https://www.xplore.ca/shop/refer-a-friend (the “Program Reward policy”).

Upon confirmation of a Qualifying Referral in accordance with the Program Reward Rules, the referring entrant will receive a one-time bill credit (the “Bill Credit”), applied to their Xplore account. The amount of the Bill Credit (the “Bill Credit Amount”) is determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion and may vary from one Contest Period to another. The Bill Credit Amount applicable to a Qualifying Referral is the Bill Credit Amount that was in effect for the Contest Period during which the corresponding Valid Referral Submission was made. Before the start of each Contest Period, the Sponsor will publish the Bill Credit Amount applicable to that Contest Period on its website (or through such other means as the Sponsor may designate), and that published Bill Credit Amount will remain fixed for the duration of that Contest Period. The Bill Credit is not redeemable for cash and is subject to the terms and conditions of the entrant’s service agreement with Xplore. Bill credits are independent of and in addition to any entries earned for the prize draw.

For clarity, a Valid Referral Submission entitles the entrant to one (1) entry in the prize draw whether or not the referred individual completes a Qualifying Referral. The Bill Credit, in the Bill Credit Amount applicable to the relevant Contest Period as determined under this section, is awarded only for a Qualifying Referral.

6. PRIZE.

For each Contest Period there is one (1) prize available to be won consisting of payment of the winner's current Xplore residential Internet access charges and standard equipment rental charges for a period of one (1) year, applied as a credit to the winner's existing Xplore Internet account for twelve (12) consecutive monthly billing cycles following prize fulfilment. The credit amount for each billing cycle will be equal to the sum of the winner's current monthly Internet access charges and equipment rental charges (i.e., the recurring charge for Internet access service and the recurring standard equipment rental fee) at the time of prize fulfilment, and will not include any installation charges , add-ons, or other fees billed on the winner’s account. To the extent that any federal, provincial, or municipal taxes apply to the prize or any portion thereof, the winner is solely responsible for the payment of such taxes. If the winner terminates their Internet service before the end of the twelve (12) month period, any credits for the remaining months will be cancelled and no substitute prize or cash equivalent will be provided. Upon expiry of the twelve (12) month prize period, the winner's Internet service will continue at the then-current price and the winner will be responsible for all payments associated with their Internet service thereafter.

The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the prize will vary depending on the winner's current monthly Internet access charges and standard equipment rental charges at the time of prize fulfilment. Based on Xplore's current residential Internet service pricing, the ARV of each prize is estimated to be between $780 CAD and $1,800 CAD (calculated as twelve (12) months of the winner's monthly Internet access charges and standard equipment rental charges only, exclusive of installation charges, taxes and any other fees). The actual value of the prize may differ at the time of prize fulfilment depending on the winner's selected Internet service plan, equipment, and applicable pricing. No difference between the stated ARV and the actual value of the prize will be awarded in any form.

The prize is not redeemable for cash and has no cash surrender value. The prize is non-transferable and must be accepted as awarded. No substitution is permitted except at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. If the winner cancels their Xplore internet account during the prize period, any remaining credit will be forfeited.

Each individual is eligible to win only one (1) prize under this Contest, regardless of the number of Contest Periods in which such individual enters or the number of eligible entries submitted.

7. ODDS OF WINNING.

The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the applicable Contest Period. All eligible entries (both referral entries and mail-in entries) have an equal chance of being selected.

8. DRAW AND WINNER SELECTION.

On or about the 7^th business day following the close of each Contest Period, a random draw will be conducted by the Sponsor from among all eligible entries received during the applicable Contest Period.
