HOW TO ENTER: There are 2 ways to enter the sweepstakes- a purchase is not required for entry:
SUBMIT A RECIPE REVIEW: During the Sweepstakes Period, users can visit https://www.driscolls.com/recipe (“Website”) to review the featured recipe posted by Driscoll’s. The featured recipe will be at the top of the Driscolls.com/recipes website page. Then, entrants can submit a review of the recipe by clicking on “Write a Review” on the featured recipe’s screen. Entrants will see a pop-up message for the Featured Recipe and will be required to complete the following: Overall Rating, Review (in text format that must include #SweepstakesEntry), Review Title, Nickname (for the entrant), and their preferred email address. Entrants may add Image/Videos, Personal/Product Information, or product ratings to their submissions, but these are optional and not required to gain an entry to the Sweepstakes. Each eligible entrant who submits an Eligible Review accepted for publication will receive one (1) Sweepstakes entry into the drawing for the Monthly Entry Pool that corresponds to that month’s featured recipe.

GENERAL CONDITIONS: Any attempt to deliberately damage a website or disrupt the lawful operation of this Sweepstakes is a violation of criminal and civil law. If such an attempt is made, the Sponsor reserves the right to pursue damages and other remedies to the fullest extent permitted by law, including criminal prosecution. If the Sweepstakes cannot run as intended due to causes such as computer viruses, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or other issues that compromise the administration, security, fairness, or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes, the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may disqualify any person responsible and cancel, modify, or terminate the Sweepstakes. In addition, if events beyond the Sponsor’s reasonable control (“Force Majeure” events) make the Sweepstakes impracticable, such as natural disasters, pandemics, extreme weather, strikes, equipment failures, terrorism, war, government actions, or similar occurrences, the Sponsor reserves the right to shorten, suspend, cancel, or terminate the Sweepstakes without further obligation. In such cases, prizes for any drawings already completed will be awarded as described, and no additional drawings will be conducted. If an entry is lost, deleted, or destroyed in error, the entrant’s sole remedy will be to receive another entry into the Sweepstakes. The Sponsor may update or clarify these Official Rules online from time to time, provided such changes do not materially alter the Sweepstakes terms and conditions. Sponsor reserves the right to remove or reject reviews that violate its review guidelines without affecting the integrity of the Sweepstakes.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND RELEASE: The Sponsor and Sweepstakes Parties assume no liability for any issues arising from an entrant’s participation, attempted participation, or downloading of materials related to this Sweepstakes. Without limitation, they are not responsible for technical errors or malfunctions of any kind, including hardware or software failures; problems with computers, telephones, cables, satellites, networks, electronics, wireless connections, or Internet service providers; server or host issues; corrupted or misdirected data transmissions; failed, delayed, lost, or intercepted emails; partial or total inaccessibility of the Website; Internet or Website traffic congestion; or unauthorized human or automated interference such as tampering, hacking, theft, viruses, bugs, or worms.

By entering, each entrant agrees to release and hold harmless the Sponsor and Sweepstakes Parties from any claims, damages, or losses connected to participation in the Sweepstakes or the receipt, possession, use, or misuse of a prize.
BINDING ARBITRATION: Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Sweepstakes shall be settled by binding arbitration in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for claimant), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, in accordance with the procedural rules for commercial disputes outlined in the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (“JAMS Rules and Procedures”) then prevailing, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator shall apply California state law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. If the claimant can demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Sponsor will pay as much of the claimant’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal (other than that claim will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by JAMS. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable, or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither claimant nor Sponsor shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. Upon filing a demand for arbitration, all parties to such arbitration shall have the right of discovery, which discovery shall be completed within sixty days after the demand for arbitration is made, unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE IN THE ENTRANT’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED. DO NOT ENTER THIS SWEEPSTAKES IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARBITRATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES.
BY PARTICIPATING IN THIS SWEEPSTAKES, EACH ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (1) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (2) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS' FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; (3) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES, AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; AND (4) ENTRANT'S REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A CLAIM FOR MONEY DAMAGES (IF ANY) AND ENTRANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO EVERY ENTRANT.
PUBLICITY: Except in Tennessee or where restricted by law, acceptance of a prize constitutes the winner’s consent for the Sponsor and its authorized agents to use the winner’s name, city and state/province/territory of residence, photograph, voice, and/or likeness for advertising or publicity purposes in any media now known or developed in the future, without time or geographic limitation, additional notice, or further compensation. In addition, the winner’s information may be included on a publicly available winners’ list.
GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION: To the maximum extent allowed by law, all matters regarding the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of these Official Rules, as well as your rights and obligations or those of the Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, will be governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes or proceedings not subject to arbitration under Section 12 of these Official Rules, or related to the enforcement of an arbitration award, must be brought exclusively in the federal, state, or local courts located in Santa Cruz County, California. The Sponsor’s decision not to enforce a provision of these Official Rules will not be considered a waiver of that provision or any other. If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be removed, and all remaining provisions will continue to apply.
