ISEA 2014 Raffle - Official Rules
By participating in this raffle, all ticket purchasers and anyone named on a raffle ticket accept and agree to be bound by all the rules, limitations and restrictions set forth herein. Further, each participant releases ISEA and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, sponsors and agents from any and all liability for injuries, losses or damages of any kind caused by any prize or resulting from acceptance, possession, use or misuse of any prize, and each winner agrees to indemnify and hold ISEA and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses, rights, claims and actions of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the winner's acceptance or use of any prize. This offer is void where prohibited by law, and all federal, state and local laws and regulations apply.

 

GRAND PRIZE
The Grand Prize is a 2014 Tesla Model S. Depictions of the car shown in informational materials on the ISEA Car Raffle website and elsewhere, including www.Teslamotors.com, are representative only and not the actual car. All taxes, fees, assessments, title and registration fees, destination charges, delivery, insurance and like charges associated with the receipt or use of the Grand Prize are the sole responsibility of the Grand Prize winner.  ISEA assumes no responsibility for a prizewinner's taxes or other obligations, and suggests the winner consult her/his tax advisor.
The car, if awarded, will be transferred to the Grand Prize winner in "AS IS, WHERE IS" condition by ISEA. ISEA does not provide any guarantee or warranty, expressed or implied, in connection with the car. ISEA accepts no liability or responsibility regarding the manufacturing or condition of the car and no warranties, express or implied, are made or offered by ISEA. Grand Prize winner assumes and must pay all fees and charges, including, but not limited to license, title and registration fees, local, state and federal taxes, and destination and delivery charges when the car is transferred to the winner. In addition, all costs of car ownership, such as (without limitation) insurance, are the Grand Prize winner's sole responsibility.

 

CASH PRIZE
The Grand Prize winner will have the option of choosing either the car or a cash prize of $60,000, subject to the non-sellout provision, below.


NON-SELLOUT PROVISION (CASH AWARD IN EVENT OF NON-SELLOUT OF TICKETS)
A minimum of 1,600 tickets must be sold during the TIMEFRAME for the car to be awarded. If fewer than 1,600 tickets are sold, the Grand Prize will be cash only, administered as a “50/50 raffle,” calculated as follows: half of the raffle net proceeds as determined by the ISEA Raffle Manager will be awarded to the Grand Prize Winner.


RAFFLE TIMEFRAME
Raffle tickets will be sold beginning at 8:00 AM CST on April 7th, 2014 and ending at 11:59PM CST on September 27th, 2014. Tickets may sell out before that time. The raffle drawing will be held on October 4th, 2014.


PRIZE VALUE
As of April 7, 2014, the Tesla Model S is valued at its estimated retail price of $71,070. The Internal Revenue Service and any applicable state Department of Revenue will accept this value for the car, or the actual amount of cash received, for the purpose of determining any income tax liability owed by the Grand Prize winner.


NUMBER OF AVAILABLE TICKETS AND ODDS OF WINNING
A maximum of 2,000 raffle tickets will be available for sale. In the event a sales transaction is initiated after the 2,000th ticket is sold or after the time limit has expired, that transaction will be null and void and any funds received for that transaction would be refunded.
The odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on the total number of tickets sold. Each ticket sold will be entered separately in the drawing. Each ticket has a separate and equal chance to win the Grand Prize. Assuming all 2,000 tickets are sold and eligible participants validly purchase all tickets, the odds of winning the Grand Prize are 1 in 2,000.

 

RAFFLE TICKET SALES
Raffle tickets are priced at one (1) for $100 OR four (4) for $300. Raffle tickets may be purchased solely from ISEA board members or affiliated agents.
A participant may purchase as many available tickets as she/he wishes, so long as the tickets have not sold out. A raffle ticket can be purchased in one name only. Any prize and related tax liability will belong to the person named on the winning ticket. Any raffle ticket, order, or request form that is deemed in ISEA's discretion to be defective or illegible is void and will not be honored.
To order tickets, contact ISEA or visit www.illinoissolar.org. Ticket requests must include participant contact information and valid payment information in order to be eligible. All sales transactions are final. No payments will be refunded. If a transaction is denied for any reason the ticket purchase is null and void. In such circumstances, ISEA will attempt via email to notify the party of the problem. In the event of a failed purchase attempt, the next ticket order in line will be processed.
Each valid ticket purchase will be assigned a unique ticket number. Once a valid raffle ticket order has been placed and funds have cleared, a receipt will be emailed to the purchaser, confirming the sale and providing the ticket number(s). Valid tickets will be placed in a secured raffle barrel to await the drawing on the aforementioned date.

 

REFUNDS
All raffle ticket sales are final. No refunds will be made, except as indicated below. ISEA assumes no responsibility for lost, stolen, late, misdirected or non-delivered raffle tickets, mail, email, phone, fax, internet or other transactions or other messages, or any other failure to receive orders or deliver receipts prior to the drawing deadlines.

In no event shall ISEA or its respective directors, officers, employees, members, sponsors, committee members, agents, contractors, advisors, or representatives be liable to any party for any loss or injuries to earnings, profits or goodwill, or for any incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages of any person or entity.
