To enter the Sweepstakes, go to [insert URL for entry} and you will be prompted to sign into your Facebook account and allow the Rotten Tomatoes Summer Movie Guide application (the “App“) to access your Facebook public profile including (without limitation) your name, profile picture, age, gender, and country and to click on the okay button (the “First Entry“). The First Entry is equal to one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. After the entrant has received the First Entry, he/she will be invited to participate in a “guess the Tomatometer score” game (the “Game“). In the event, entrant should choose not to participate in the Game, entrant may enter via the Alternate Method of Entry, see Section 5 of these Official Rules for more details. In addition to the First Entry, entrant will have an opportunity to receive five (5) friend bonus entries for each Facebook friend of entrant (each a “Friend” and collectively known as “Friends“) that enters the Sweepstakes. There is a maximum of twenty (20) Friends in total that offers entrant an opportunity to receive up to one hundred (100) Friend bonus entries (each a “Friend Bonus Entry” and collectively “Friend Bonus Entries“) during the Sweepstakes Period. For example, if 18 Friends enter the Sweepstakes, entrant will receive a total of 90 Friend Bonus Entries (18 Friends x 5 Friend Bonus Entries = 90 Friend Bonus Entries). Only one (1) Game per Facebook account per Sweepstakes is counted during the Sweepstakes Period. If more than one (1) Game is played per entrant per Sweepstakes, only the first Game played by an entrant will be accepted as valid. Game’s high scorer does not earn entrant Sweepstakes bonus entries. The First Entry and Friend Bonus Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period shall be collectively referred to hereafter as entries (“Entries“).

As part of your participation in the Sweepstakes, you will have the option to subscribe (each a “Subscriber“) to receive Sponsor’s updates, news and offers (collectively “Subscription“). Subscriber can unsubscribe from the Subscription at any time without affecting his/her chances of winning. Sponsor provides you with an opportunity to express your preferences with respect to receiving certain marketing communications from Sponsor or from unaffiliated third parties. If you ever decide in the future that you would like to update these preferences, (i) you may log into your account if you have created an account with Sponsor at one of our Sites to adjust your settings, (ii) you may follow the “unsubscribe” instructions provided in any marketing email you receive from us, or (iii) you may send us an email at privacy@wb.com and we will edit your preferences accordingly.
