Creating a Twitter Account is free. By submitting your information and creating a Twitter Account, you will be required to agree to the Twitter terms of service and privacy policy. During each Entry Period, the @SharkWeek Twitter Account (the “Official Twitter Account”) will post a Tweet which provides the applicable hashtag(s) and any additional entry requirements (“Prompt Tweet”). You must click on the hashtag option of your choice provided in the Prompt Tweet and comply with these Official Rules to be eligible to enter the Promotion. To enter, eligible entrants must log into their Twitter Account and post the re-Tweet which is auto-generated from your clicking on the hashtag option specified in the applicable Prompt Tweet, during the applicable Entry Period (hereinafter an “Entry”). Your Entry must include the auto-generated hashtag you chose from the Prompt Tweet and the other auto-generated hashtags: “#giveaway” and “#SharkWeek”.

Incomplete or incorrect Entries will not be eligible. These official rules are also available on the Discovery® website (http://www.discovery.com/JawscersRules) (the “Website”). Limit of one (1) entry per eligible person, per day. If multiple entries are received in the same day, only the first entry will be accepted and additional entries will be disqualified. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by you to obtain more than one (1) entry per day by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations or logins, or any other methods may void your entries and you may be disqualified from the Promotion. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar entry methods or agents (including, but not limited to, sweepstakes or other promotion entry services) will void all entries by you. In the event of a dispute as to any online entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant.
