Official Rules

ShockAI, [SET siteConfig.business.streetAddress]. Questions may be directed to shockmediapr@gmail.com. The Sponsor is the sole administrator of this promotion.

By entering, you agree to be bound by these Official Rules and by the Sponsor’s decisions on all matters of eligibility and administration, which are final and binding. Entry is not permitted for anyone who does not agree. The outcome of a draw is not a Sponsor decision but a published computation any entrant can independently reproduce (§7).

Open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry and who own, or are a duly authorized representative of, an operating business. Employees, officers and contractors of the Sponsor, and their immediate family members and household members, are not eligible. Void where prohibited, taxed, or restricted by law. All federal, state, and local laws apply.

The promotion runs in consecutive monthly cycles. Each cycle contains up to 4 weekly entry periods. A weekly entry period begins when the Sponsor opens it and ends at the date and time displayed on the promotion page for that period. The Sponsor’s server clock is the official timekeeping device. Entries submitted outside an open entry period are not eligible.

Complete the free entry form at shockai.io/business-reels during an open weekly entry period. No purchase, payment, share, repost, tag, comment, follow, or other action is required or considered. Entries generated by script, macro, or other automated means, and entries submitted through any method other than the entry form, are void. Incomplete or illegible entries are void. Entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned.

1 entry per business per weekly entry period, identified by the email address submitted — a maximum of 4 per monthly cycle. Duplicate entries within the same weekly period are rejected at submission. Using multiple email addresses, identities, or businesses to exceed this limit is grounds for disqualification of all associated entries.

Each weekly entry period concludes with a random drawing selecting one finalist. At the conclusion of the monthly cycle, a further random drawing selects one winner from among that cycle’s finalists.

Drawings use a published commit–reveal procedure. Before each entry period opens, the Sponsor generates a random secret value and publishes only its SHA-256 hash. When entries close, the Sponsor publishes a SHA-256 hash of the entry list. After the drawing, the Sponsor publishes the secret value. The winning position is determined by HMAC-SHA-256 of the entry-list hash keyed by the secret value, reduced modulo the number of eligible entries.

Because the secret value is committed before entries are known and cannot be altered without invalidating its previously published hash, the Sponsor cannot select or influence the outcome. Any person may independently reproduce any completed drawing at shockai.io/business-reels/verify.

Any animation displayed on the promotion page is a replay of a result already determined by the procedure above and does not select the winner.

Odds of being selected as a weekly finalist depend on the number of eligible entries received during that weekly entry period. Odds of being selected as the winner depend on the number of finalists in the applicable monthly cycle.

One (1) prize per monthly cycle: one (1) custom short-form promotional video produced by the Sponsor for the winner’s business. Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $500.00 USD. Total ARV of all prizes awarded per monthly cycle: $500.00 USD.

The prize consists solely of the production and delivery of a single vertical video of a length determined by the Sponsor. The prize does not include advertising or media spend, publication or placement on any platform, revisions beyond those the Sponsor elects to provide, ongoing production, travel outside the Sponsor’s ordinary service area, or any cash or other substitution. Scheduling is subject to the reasonable availability of both parties. All details of the prize not expressly stated here are determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion.

The prize is awarded “as is,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The Sponsor makes no representation or guarantee regarding any result, outcome, reach, engagement, revenue, or business effect of the prize.

The prize is non-transferable. The Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable.

All taxes are the sole responsibility of the winner. The winner may be required to complete and return an IRS Form W-9 and, where the applicable reporting threshold is met, will be issued an IRS Form 1099-MISC.

The potential winner will be notified at the email address submitted with the entry within 3 business days of the drawing and must respond within 7 calendar days of the date the notification is sent. The Sponsor is not responsible for notifications that are undeliverable, filtered, or unread. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, is found ineligible, declines the prize, fails to respond within the claim period, or fails to return any required documentation, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected from the remaining eligible finalists using the same published procedure.

Entrants select the display name shown publicly on the promotion page and in the drawing. That display name and an assigned ticket number are the only entrant-supplied information published. Names, business names, email addresses, and telephone numbers are not published.

The Sponsor may remove or replace any display name it determines to be obscene, defamatory, harassing, infringing, impersonating, or otherwise unsuitable, and may do so only while the applicable entry period remains open, so that the published entry list continues to match its published hash.

Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of the prize constitutes the winner’s consent to the Sponsor’s use of the winner’s business name, city, and the produced video for advertising and promotional purposes without further compensation.

By entering, each entrant releases and holds harmless the Sponsor and its officers, members, employees, contractors, and agents from any claim, injury, loss, or damage arising from participation in this promotion or from acceptance, possession, or use of the prize.

The Sponsor is not responsible for entries that are lost, late, misdirected, incomplete, or not received for any reason, nor for any technical failure, network outage, or human error in the administration of the promotion.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, an entrant’s sole and exclusive remedy is entry into the applicable drawing, and in no event will the Sponsor be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages.

This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Facebook, Instagram, Meta, Google, TikTok, YouTube, or any other platform or service. Entrants fully release each such platform. Entry is only via the entry form at shockai.io/business-reels; no share, tag, comment, or follow is required or considered in any way.

Information submitted is used to administer this promotion and, only where you have affirmatively opted in, to send you marketing email, from which you may unsubscribe at any time using the link contained in every such message. See the privacy policy.

The Sponsor may disqualify any person who tampers with the entry process, acts in violation of these Official Rules, or acts in a disruptive manner. If for any reason the promotion cannot be conducted as planned, the Sponsor reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate it, and to award the prize from among eligible entries received up to the point of termination using the published procedure in §7.

These Official Rules are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in that State. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

The display name and ticket number of each winner are published on the promotion page. A written winner list may also be requested by mail from the Sponsor at the address in §1 within ninety (90) days of the applicable drawing.
