3. HOW TO PARTICIPATE. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. There are two (2) ways to enter the Sweepstakes:

Text Messaging: To enter through the text messaging method of entry, Entrants must text one of “WINEAMPLIFIED to #44333 using a two-way text messaging capable device. Sponsor will respond with a text message to verify the Entrant’s age. Upon verification of Entrant’s age, Sponsor texts a request for Entrant’s zip code. In response to Entrant’s text regarding his/her zip code, Sponsor texts a request regarding further email communications. If Entrant allows further email communications, he/she will obtain an additional entry into the Sweepstakes.

Once Entrant has completed the foregoing, he/she will have earned an entry (an “Entry”) into the Sweepstakes.

Entrants who use text messaging to enter will be charged according to their carriers' standard messaging and data rates and entrants should contact their carriers for pricing details. Check your owners' manual for specific text messaging instructions. Text messaging may not be available through all wireless carriers. Standard text messaging rates and Internet data rates may apply and Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for any fees incurred by participating in this Sweepstakes. All text messages must be received by 11:59:59 PM PDT on August 31, 2015. Text “STOP” to #44333 to stop.

E-Mail: To enter via the email method of entry, Entrant must email one of the keywords above for the U.S. region in which the Entrant resides, along with Entrant’s complete name, address, telephone number, birth date and email address to the following email address: sweeps@barefootwine.com. E-Mail Entries must be received in the Administrator’s inbox by 11:59:59 PM PDT on August 31, 2015 to be eligible. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, tampered, damaged, or Entries that are lost or misdirected to any Junk folder or SPAM filter. All such Entries will be ineligible.

Limit one (1) Entry per person/email address/cellular number during the entire Sweepstakes Period regardless of the method of entry. Sweepstakes Entities will not acknowledge or confirm receipt of any Entries (except for extra Entry for opting in to receive additional email correspondence from Sponsor). Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for cellular carrier or cell tower glitches or outages that result in the non-receipt of any participants’ text-in entry attempts. Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for Text or E-Mail Entries that are garbled, corrupted, or otherwise unascertainable or incomprehensible.

Only one (1) individual cellular number or email address per Entrant may be used in connection with this Sweepstakes. Any person who attempts to participate by using multiple cellular numbers, multiple email addresses, multiple identities, or by using any device or artifice to participate in violation of the terms stated in these official Rules, may be disqualified by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar participation methods or agents will void such participation in the Sweepstakes. In the event of a dispute over who is the Entrant, the authorized subscriber of the cellular account used to enter the Sweepstakes (or the authorized account subscriber or owner of the email address) as of the actual time that such information was received by Sponsor, will be deemed to be the Entrant. The “authorized account subscriber” is defined as the natural person who is assigned the cellular telephone number (or email address) by the cellular telephone network associated with the cellular phone number (or by the internet service provider associated with the email address) used to enter the Sweepstakes. Sweepstakes Entities may require an Entrant to show proof of being the authorized account holder. Entrants may be required to indicate their acceptance to the Official Rules where indicated at the time of registration; provided, however, that any Entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes, and is deemed, such Entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to the Official Rules and any and all decisions of Sweepstakes Entities, which are final and binding in all respects.
