1. Specific rules control
Each CatchaClaw promotion or prize-bearing QR quest may include separate official rules stating the sponsor, eligibility, entry period, method of entry, winner selection, prize details, and other terms. Those specific rules control over this general framework.
2. Eligibility
Eligibility will be listed in the specific rules and may be limited by age and place of residence. Minors may need a parent or guardian’s permission and acceptance of a prize. CatchaClaw personnel, household members, venue personnel, vendors, and others involved in administering a promotion may be excluded.
3. No purchase necessary when stated
When a promotion is advertised as “no purchase necessary,” the specific rules will provide a free entry method with equal opportunity. Ordinary claw-machine play is a separate entertainment purchase and does not create a sweepstakes entry unless the specific rules clearly say so. Making a purchase will not improve the odds of a chance-based promotion unless lawful rules expressly provide otherwise.
4. Entries
Entries must be complete, truthful, received within the stated period, and submitted through an authorized method. Automated, duplicate, bulk, fraudulent, altered, late, or misdirected entries may be void. Entry limits and timekeeping rules will appear in the specific rules.
5. QR safety and location conduct
Only scan codes displayed in publicly accessible, authorized areas. Do not trespass, enter employee-only spaces, block a business, tamper with a machine or code, or use a phone while driving. Follow venue rules and stop immediately if a venue asks you to do so. A code that appears moved, damaged, or suspicious should be reported to us.
6. Winner selection and notice
Winners may be chosen randomly, judged using published criteria, or determined by another method stated in the specific rules. Potential winners may need to respond by a deadline, verify eligibility, sign documents, and provide information needed to deliver a prize. Failure to comply may result in selection of an alternate winner.
7. Prizes
Prize description, approximate retail value, quantity, and restrictions will be stated in the specific rules. Prizes are nontransferable and no cash substitution is available unless the rules or sponsor permit it. Winners are responsible for taxes and expenses not expressly included.
8. Photos, content, and publicity
If a promotion requests a photo, caption, or other submission, you must own or have permission to use it and must not include unlawful, unsafe, infringing, or private content. Any publicity permission will be described in the specific rules and applied only where lawful.
9. Administration and disqualification
CatchaClaw may verify entries, correct obvious errors, disqualify misconduct, or suspend, modify, or cancel a promotion if fraud, technical failure, safety concerns, or events outside reasonable control prevent fair administration. Decisions will be made reasonably and consistently with applicable law.
10. Release and limits
To the extent permitted by law, entrants release CatchaClaw, participating venues, service providers, and their personnel from claims arising from participation or acceptance and use of a prize, except liability that cannot legally be waived. Participation remains subject to the Terms of Use.
11. Privacy and marketing
Information collected for a promotion will be handled under our Privacy Policy and the specific rules. Entering a promotion does not automatically subscribe you to marketing email; any marketing consent will be requested separately where required.
12. Platform disclaimer
Unless the specific rules state otherwise, promotions are not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with any social network, messaging service, device maker, or QR-scanning provider referenced in a post or entry method.
13. Questions
Send promotion or code questions to hello@catchaclaw.com. Include the quest or promotion name and the machine location if applicable.
