Campaign Rules
The Reward Volunteers (“RV”) Campaign is sponsored by Cabot Creamery Cooperative , 1 Home Farm Way, Montpelier, VT 05602 ( “Sponsor” and collectively, the “Sponsor”) and rewards individuals who volunteer their time.
RV volunteers and the Qualified Beneficiary Organizations they volunteer for are eligible for Rewards, which include cash and prizes for individual volunteers, and cash for beneficiary organizations.
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN IN THE REWARD VOLUNTEERS CAMPAIGN ALL FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND MUNICIPAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS APPLY. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.
Please note that the Reward Volunteers Campaign is powered by Chalo, Inc. and subject to these rules and to the Terms of Use at http://chaloapps.com/terms-of-use and Privacy Policy at http://chaloapps.com/privacy-policy, which specify general rules and limitations regarding volunteer reward programs and the Chalo service, and are incorporated by reference into these Campaign Rules. By participating in the Campaign, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Rules and the Chalo Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
The Campaign begins at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time (“ET”), February 14, 2012 and ends at 11:59 p.m., ET, July 6, 2012. The Campaign is open to all legal residents 18 years or older (or the age of majority in the jurisdiction of their residence, whichever is older) of the 50 United States and District of Columbia. This Campaign is void outside the 50 United States and D.C. and where prohibited.
Eligible participants can enter the Campaign by using the Chalo App or Widget and Service (see www.rewardvolunteers.coop for instructions; or by mail as follows: Send your name, address, city, state, zip code, email address and day and evening telephone numbers with area code hand-printed on a 3-1/2” x 5”piece of paper. On the reverse side of the 3-1/2” x 5” paper hand-print “Cabot Cheese Reward Volunteers Campaign.”) In addition, mail your completed entry in a hand-addressed stamped envelope to: Cabot Creamery Cooperative, 1 Home Farm Way, Montpelier, VT 05602 Attn: Reward Volunteers. Mail Entries must be postmarked by July, 1, 2012 and received by July, 2 2012.
Reach
Reach, or Reach points are the credit volunteers receive for logging and sharing their volunteer activity. An hour of volunteering counts for 4 Reach points, while each, “like” or comment on both Facebook and in-RV posts count as 1 Reach point. Also, each person who opens an email sent from Reward Volunteers counts as 1 Reach point for the sender. Please note, that using the widget, as opposed to the app, provides fewer opportunities to accrue Reach.
When volunteers designate the Facebook page of the beneficiary organization they are volunteering for, the beneficiary organization also accrues Reach in the same way that individuals do.
More Reach = more chances to win. A volunteer’s odds of receiving a prize depends on how much volunteer activity the volunteer logs in the Campaign relative to how much volunteer activity all of the other volunteers log in the Campaign. A beneficiary organization’s odds of receiving a prize depends on the aggregate volunteer activity of all of the volunteers who volunteer for the organization relative to the aggregate volunteer activity for all of the organizations in the Campaign. The odds depend on the amount of volunteer activity each individual volunteer records relative to the amount of volunteer activity all Campaign volunteers record, and the credit for aggregate volunteer activity each organization receives relative to the credit for aggregate volunteer activity all of the organizations in the Campaign receive.
