HOW TO PARTICIPATE − No purchase necessary.
There are 2 (two) ways to enter the Competition for a chance to win the Prize (as described below):
ENTRY PER PURCHASE – During the contest period, eligible participants will receive one (1) entry for every Canadian dollar ($1.00) spent on eligible purchases of products and items from the contest organizer made:
Online at www.racoonfest.ca (hereinafter referred to as the "Website"); or at participating establishments of the Contest Organizer.
For purchases at participating establishments of the Competition Organizer, participants will make the purchase via the website or receive a coupon with their receipt including a unique PIN code corresponding to the number of Entries received (hereinafter referred to as the "Unique PIN Code") and must go to the Website to access the Competition registration page, fill in all the required fields of the registration form (hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Form"), including their name, surname, date of birth, postal code, email address, telephone number with area code, unique PIN code and confirm that they have read, understood and accepted the Rules.
The number of entries per purchase you receive will be based on the sale price of your eligible purchase (excluding sales tax and shipping charges, if applicable) and will be rounded up to the nearest Canadian dollar ($1.00). If a purchase is returned before the drawing, the entries associated with that purchase will be voided. Eligible participants will receive one (1) entry for every Canadian dollar ($1.00) spent on a gift card purchase, based on the value of the gift card purchased. For example, a fifty-dollar ($50.00) gift card purchase will generate fifty (50) entries. Purchases made with a gift card are not eligible to receive entries. However, a purchase exceeding the value of the gift card will be eligible to receive entries based on the remaining balance after the gift card has been applied to the purchased item (for example, an eligible purchase of one hundred dollars ($100.00) with a fifty-dollar ($50.00) gift card will generate fifty (50) entries – sales tax, shipping fees, etc., are not included in the entries). All purchases are subject to the contest organizer's return policy. Your purchase transaction must be received before the contest closing date and must include your consent to enter to be eligible to receive entries per purchase in this contest. There is no limit to the number of entries per purchase received or to the participant's consent. During the contest period, participants will also have the option to sign up to receive other email communications from the contest organizer. Participants are not required to sign up for this service to enter this contest, and signing up will not increase your chances of winning. By registering, a participant authorizes the contest organizer to send them communications regarding services, rewards, offers, promotions, or other messages related to the contest organizer's services and products.

ENTRY MULTIPLIER – Throughout the Contest period, the Contest Organizer may advertise opportunities to automatically multiply the number of Entries per purchase, for example (X2), (X5), (X10), (X20), and (X30) (each hereafter referred to as a “Multiplier”). When a Multiplier is offered, Entries will be multiplied by the applicable Multiplier. For example, a purchase of sixty dollars ($60.00) with a Multiplier of 10X will yield six hundred (600) Entries (60 x 10 = 600).
No-purchase entries (as defined below) are not subject to multipliers. However, when a multiplier is offered, no-purchase entries will receive two hundred (200) entries. Add the handwritten word "LIMITED" to the bottom left corner of the envelope and receive one hundred (100) additional entries.
