Social Contest & Social Promotion General Rules

NO PURCHASE REQUIRED TO ENTER OR WIN

ELIGIBILITY: Our social media-based Social Contests or Social Promotions (collectively referred to as “Social Promotions”) are generally open only to legal residents of fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are eighteen (18) years of age or older who have valid accounts on the social media sites or platforms being used for the Social Promotions. We may narrow eligibility for our Social Promotions on a case-by-case basis, and if so, those requirements will be specified in the Promotion Details for each respective contest or Social Promotion. Employees of Best Cellular, or other companies associated with each of the Social Promotions, as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings, and children) and household members of each such employee are not eligible. The Social Promotions are subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations and are void in Puerto Rico and where prohibited. Social Promotions that are administered or sponsored by Best Cellular on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media platforms or sites are in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with these sites or platforms. You understand that you are providing your information only to the Sponsors and/or Administrators (collectively referred to as the “Sponsor”) of each Social Promotion.
