2009

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING.

Eligibility: MySears Registration Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”) is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry.  Employees of Sears Holdings Management Corporation, Viewpoints Network, its parents, affiliates, agents, and  advertising and promotion agencies, and their respective immediate family members (spouse, children, parents and siblings) and those living in the same household of each (whether or not related), are not eligible to enter. Void where prohibited.

Two ways to enter: (1) Online: When you join the MySears community www.MySears.com (“Website”) at www.mysears.com/receipt between 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time on September 25, 2009 and 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on October 23, 2009, you will be automatically entered in the Sweepstakes and eligible for the drawing conducted after the Sweepstakes end date.  By entering, you agree that your entry will comply with Sponsor’s Terms of Use, found at http://www.mysears.com/terms_of_service. (2) By U.S. Mail: Hand-print your complete name, age, complete address (including ZIP Code), phone and email address (optional) on a plain 3"x5" paper and mail it in a hand-addressed #10 envelope with first class postage affixed, to: MySears Registration Sweepstakes, c/o Viewpoints Network, 222 West Hubbard, Suite 310, Chicago, IL 60654 . Upon receipt of your mail-in entry, you will be automatically entered in the Sweepstakes. Entries must be postmarked by October 23, 2009 and received by October 30, 2009 to be included in the Sweepstakes drawing. Mechanically produced entries are not eligible.

In the event of dispute over the identity of a potential winner, online entries will be deemed made by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of entry, and the potential winner may be required to provide identification sufficient to show that he/she is the authorized account holder of the email address submitted upon entry. "Authorized account holder" is the natural person who is assigned to an email address by the Internet Access provider, online service provider, or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses.

Proof of emailing does not constitute proof of delivery or entry. All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned to entrant. Every entry submission must be manually keystroked and/or manually entered by the individual entrant. Automated and/or repetitive electronic submission of entries (including but not limited to entries made using any script, macro, bot or sweepstakes service) will be disqualified and transmissions from any related email or IP addresses may be blocked.

Random Drawings: One (1) Grand Prize winner will be selected from among all combined eligible entries in a random drawing conducted on or about November 2, 2009. All drawings will be conducted by Sponsor (or its designee), whose decisions are final on all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries as of the date of each such drawing.

A potential winner, along with ten alternate potential winners, will be selected in a random drawing, from all eligible entries received.  The drawing will be conducted by Sponsor or its designee, whose decisions are final and binding on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes.  Potential winner does not need to be present at time of drawing; they will be contacted by phone and/or email. In order to win, the potential winner must: (i) comply with all requirements set forth in these rules; and (ii) except where prohibited by law, sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release from Liability, which will be provided by Sponsor, within the time period designated by Sponsor.  If the potential winner does not meet the above requirements, or is otherwise disqualified, then the first alternate potential winner will become eligible to win the Grand Prize.  If, for any reason, the first alternate potential winner does not meet the above requirements, or is otherwise disqualified, then the remaining alternate potential winners will each, in turn, become eligible to win the Grand Prize until an alternate potential winner complies with the above criteria.

Prizes and Approximate Retail Values: One (1) Grand Prize will be awarded, consisting of a $500 Sears gift card.  Approximate Retail Value of Prize:  $500. Gift card restrictions may apply.

Miscellaneous: By participating, entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final in all respects. No cash or other substitution or transfer of prizes permitted, except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value due to prize unavailability due to circumstances beyond its control.  

By participating, entrants agree: (1) that Sponsor may (unless prohibited by law) use winner's name, city of residence, photograph and/or likeness for advertising and other promotional purposes without further review or compensation in any media, in perpetuity and worldwide; (2) to hold Sponsor, its parent, divisions, affiliates, advertising and promotion agencies and other agents and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and assigns harmless against any and all claims, loss, liability, injury or damage to entrant or any other person or entity due in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by reason of their acceptance, possession or use of a prize or their participation in this Sweepstakes.

By participating, entrants hereby agree that Sponsor is not responsible for incomplete, lost, late, damaged, illegible, misplaced or misdirected email/mailed entries or faulty transmissions, technical computer hardware or software failures of any kind, lost or interrupted or unavailable network connections, or failed, incomplete, garbled, misrouted, scrambled or delayed computer transmission or other errors or problems of any kind, whether mechanical, human, electronic or otherwise, which may limit a user's ability to participate in the Sweepstakes. Sponsor is not responsible for any typographical or other error in the printing of the offer, administration of the Sweepstakes or in the announcement of the prizes. Entrants further agree that Sponsor assumes no responsibility or liability for (a) any incorrect or inaccurate entry information, or for any faulty, failed, garbled or jumbled electronic data transmissions; (b) any unauthorized access to, or theft, destruction or alteration of entries at any point in the operation of this Sweepstakes; (c) any technical malfunction, failure, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or communications line failure, regardless of cause, with regard to any equipment, systems, networks, lines, satellites, servers, computers or providers utilized in any aspect of the operation of the Sweepstakes; or, (d) inaccessibility or unavailability of the internet or the Website or any combination thereof; (e) any injury or damage to participants or to any other person's computer which may be related to or resulting from any attempt to participate in the Sweepstakes or download any materials in the Sweepstakes.

Sponsor reserves the right to (1) disqualify any entrant and void any entries of an entrant who has engaged in unsportsmanlike conduct, fraud or other misconduct relative to this Sweepstakes or otherwise attempted to tamper with or impair the Sweepstakes, and to (2) cancel, modify, suspend or terminate the online portion of the Sweepstakes if, in Sponsor's sole opinion, technical failures, applicable laws or regulations, virus, bugs, unauthorized human intervention or other cause beyond Sponsor's reasonable control destroys the integrity of the Sweepstakes or otherwise corrupts or impairs the administration, security, legality, fairness or proper play of the Sweepstakes or any part thereof.

Sponsor also reserves the right at its sole discretion to disqualify any individual found to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or the Sweepstakes Websites or to be acting in any manner Sponsor deems to be in violation of the Official Rules or disruptive, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person. If, for any reason, the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned for reasons which may include without limitation, infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, violation of applicable law or regulation or any other causes which may corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of this Sweepstakes, Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Sweepstakes in whole or in part.

CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT BY A USER OR ENTRANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

On Nov. 11th, I purchased a 46" Sony T.V. from your store in Hammond, La.
The sales Lady was very helpful and assisted us in making a selection. She did an area price check, and was able to save us from looking all over. We were able to save money too, which these days is very important.
We enjoyed the experience.I would like to be entered in the $ 500.00 sweepstakes.

My wife and I shopped at the Sears store in Lexington, Ky. 11/23/09 and the sales person was extremely nice and professional. She pointed out several items other than the items we were purchasing. It was a very enjoyable experience, and we will definitely shop the store when we are in the area.

My shopping experence at Sears is the best I have been shopping at Sears for over 40 years they have always stood by their products (TIRES -REPAIR WORK-TRACTORS - LAWN MOWERS-TOOLS WASHER AND DRYERS-ETC)
THEIR EMPLOYEES SHOW A REAL PLEASURE IN HELPING WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM,AND THAT IS WHY I WILL CONTINUE TO SHOP AT SEARS.
