The Relaxathon (“Relaxathon”) is an approximately 60-minute relaxation competition hosted on Eagle Beach in Aruba.

For purposes of this Contest, immediate family members are defined as spouse, partner, parents, legal guardians, in-laws, grandparents, siblings, children and grandchildren and those living in the same household shall mean people who share the same residence at least three (3) months a year, whether legally related or not. By participating, you agree to these Official Rules and to the decisions of the Sponsor and Administrator, which are final and binding in all respects. Void where prohibited by law, rule or regulation. By participating in the Contest, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these “Official Rules” and the decisions of Sponsor, including the interpretation of these Official Rules and its exercise of discretion, which will be final and binding in all respects. 
  2. TIMING: The Contest begins at or around 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) on June 13, 2024, last approximately one (1) hour and will conclude at sunset (the “Contest Period”). The performance of each eligible Relaxer will be assessed by Sponsor and its designees, as set forth in Section 5 below. The designated computer clock of the Sponsor is the official time-keeping device in the Contest. The winners will be announced on June 13, 2024 approximately within an hour after the end of the one (1) hour period. 
  3. HOW TO PARTICIPATE: During the Contest Period, if you are eligible per Section 1 and have a reserved spot in the Relaxathon, visit the specified location during the check-in window (starting at 3:30pm ET and ending at 4:45pm ET) on June 13, 2024, and bring with you a government-issued form of identification, such as a passport or license or ID. You will be asked to complete release forms before participating. Check in to the Relaxathon and take your assigned spot and prepare for the Contest to begin. Remain at the site until the Contest Period has concluded and until you have completed the required paperwork, if applicable, if you are selected as a potential Contest winner.  

    The Contest asks participants to stay as relaxed as possible during an approximately 60-minute time period. 

    You will be required to:
    • Stay as relaxed as possible for one hour. 
    • Wear a heart rate tracker which will be remotely monitored during the Contest to record the maximum, minimum and average heart rate. 
    • Do not bring distractions like smartphones, music players, headphones, books, etc. These are not allowed during the competition.
    • Stay awake during the competition. 
    • Stay within their assigned area during the competition and cannot interfere with other Relaxers. 
    • Remain quiet during the competition – anyone deemed to be chatty will be penalized.
    • Heart rates, including a minimum, maximum and average, will be recorded for each Relaxer throughout the Contest. Points will be awarded based on a variance determined by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion (the “Points Calculation”).
    • In the event of any equipment failure, the Contest winner(s) will be selected by the pre-determined referees on-site, at their sole discretion.
  4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES: By participating in the Contest, each Relaxer represents and warrants that he or she has read, understands, agrees to and will follow the Official Rules. Each Relaxer further represents and warrants that he or she has the right to agree to and fully perform consistent with these Official Rules and that he or she has complied. Each Relaxer agrees to indemnify and hold the Released Parties (defined below) harmless from and against any third-party claims, to the extent arising out of or relating to any breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Relaxer in connection with his or her acceptance of these Official Rules or Contest activities.
  5. JUDGING/WINNER DETERMINATION: After the end of the Contest Period, a panel of qualified judges, selected by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, will tabulate the results based off of heart rate data and the Points Calculation. 

    The highest-scoring Relaxer will be deemed the potential first prize winner. In the event of an exact tie between 2 or more Relaxers, the tie will be broken by reviewing the final data with multiple decimal points for the final score. In the unlikely event that a tie still remains, the tie will be broken by identifying the tied Relaxer with the lowest average heart rate. The next highest-scoring Relaxer will be deemed the potential winner of the second prize and the next highest-scoring Relaxer will be deemed the potential winner of the third prize, all subject to winner verification and prize acceptance. Sponsor reserves the right not to award all of the prizes (or not to award any prize) if, in its sole discretion, it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Relaxers or if the Contest does not proceed as planned. Prize award is subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Judges’ decisions are final and binding. 
  6. WINNER NOTIFICATION/PRIZE CLAIMING: The potential winners will be notified in person after the judging takes place within an hour after the end of the Contest, in a reasonable time after selection of the potential winners. The Contest Parties are not responsible for false, incorrect, changed, incomplete or illegible contact information or for any potential winner who is not present at the Contest location at the time the judging is complete. If you are not present during the awards ceremony, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify you and move on to the next highest-scoring Relaxer. Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately upon informing a potential winner in person. As part of the winner notification process, each potential winner will be required to complete and submit a declaration of eligibility/liability release, and a publicity release (collectively, the “Declaration”)-----as a condition of receiving a prize. If a potential winner fails or refuses to sign and return the Declaration within the required time potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate may be selected using the judging process above, up to three (3) alternates, if time permits, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. P.O. Boxes are not permitted on form. If applicable, the Contest Parties are not responsible for failed phone calls or for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in entrant’s email or other account to receive messages. Non-compliance shall result in disqualification and award to an alternate winner. 

    Parents or legal guardians of a winner under the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence may be required to also sign a version of the Declaration in order for the prize winner to be qualified to receive his or her prize, which may take place after the Contest and via email or mail.  

    A potential winner becomes a “winner” only after verification of eligibility by Sponsor. If a potential winner cannot be contacted as planned (or within 48 hours), if the potential winner is ineligible, if any notification is returned undeliverable, or if the potential winner otherwise fails to fully comply with these Official Rules, he/she will forfeit that prize and an alternate winner may be selected from among all remaining eligible Relaxers repeating the process identified above, if time permits. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim prizes in excess of the number of prizes set forth in these Official Rules, the winner(s) of the advertised number of prizes available may be selected in a similar judging manner from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such prize(s). Inclusion in such process shall be each Relaxer’s sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. The Contest Parties are not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential winner(s).

    BY PARTICIPATING IN THE CONTEST, ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE CONTEST, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (B) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00 USD), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; (C) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00 USD), AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; AND (D) ENTRANTS’ REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A CLAIM FOR MONEY DAMAGES (IF ANY) AND ENTRANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION: The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in the State of Pennsylvania, and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Contest shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in the State of Pennsylvania. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Pennsylvania. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
