Once all eligible products have been sold out for the promotional giveaway. The sponsor will make the sole decision on a cutoff time to submit entries. If there are any entries that not have been properly confirmed, the spot (s) with its corresponding number will be open and available to be purchased by any member.

To further add to this, you cannot say IN to receive unconfirmed spot entries when they have become available. For giveaways that involve prizes of substantial value. The sponsor will allow up to 24 hours for the entrant to confirm their entries. For smaller value giveaways, the sponsor will set a predetermined cutoff period as soon as all eligible products have been filled. The sponsor is the sole determiner of the cutoff periods and contest run periods. A period of less than 24 hours for cutoff times will be applied for certain giveaways and the sponsor reserves this right. That being said, the sponsor will give ample amount of time and will notify entrants to submit their confirmation in a reasonable time frame.
Upon receipt of the Free Entry Request, and upon the Sponsor’s review and approval of the Free Entry Request (as determined in the sole discretion of the Sponsor), the Sponsor will send an email confirmation to the party named in the Free Entry Request that confirms they have been entered into the Contest (the “Free Entry”).
