Official Contest Rules
(“Contest Rules”)
QuadReal Property Group Limited Partnership (“QuadReal”) and certain affiliates are hosting a series of contests in which you will have a chance to win prizes. Each of these contests (each a “Contest”) is governed by the specific contest rules posted with each Contest (the “Short Rules”) and these rules (the “Contest Rules”). By entering any Contest, each entrant agrees to the applicable Short Rules and these Contest Rules, including all eligibility requirements. Each Contest is subject to all applicable federal, provincial and local laws and regulations, and is void where prohibited by law.
Although a Contest may be communicated, promoted, or administered by means of a third party social media or social networking service or site, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (each a “Third Party Service”), such Contest is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by or associated with any Third Party Service.
Each Short Rules and these Contest Rules may be amended from time to time without prior notice to any entrant. QuadReal may cancel any Contest at any time, for any reason or no reason.
- Who Can Enter. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Short Rules, each Contest is open to any Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada (excluding residents of the Province of Québec) who has reached the age of majority in their province or territory of residence.
Individuals associated with any Contest, including employees, directors and officers of QuadReal, any supplier of a particular Contest (including any third party providing the prize(s) awarded in such Contest) and the owners, tenants and occupants of the shopping centre identified in the applicable Short Rules (collectively, the “Contest Partners”), and any of their affiliated entities, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, promotional and marketing agencies, and any member of the immediate families of any of the foregoing and other individuals with whom any of the foregoing are domiciled, are not eligible to participate in any Contest. - Contest Period. Each Contest will be open for entry during the period of time specified in the applicable Short Rules (the “Contest Period”). In its sole discretion, QuadReal may extend any period of time for entry.
QuadReal will not confirm receipt of any entries, and proof of submission of an entry will not be deemed to be proof of receipt. QuadReal has no obligation to advise an entrant of an incomplete or otherwise non-compliant entry. QuadReal may also cancel or remove any Contest at any time without prior notice to the entrants. - How to Enter. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. During the applicable Contest Period, entrants are required to enter a Contest through the entry method indicated in the applicable Short Rules. In the event of a dispute as to who entered any Contest as the entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address or social media account used in the entry, or associated with the entry, will be deemed to be the entrant and must comply with these Contest Rules. There is a limit of one (1) entry per person/email address/social media account permitted during the applicable Contest Period. Any person who attempts to enter with multiple email addresses or social media accounts, or uses any device or software to enter multiple times in violation of these Official Rules, will be disqualified and forfeits any and all prizes won, at QuadReal’s sole discretion.
QuadReal reserves the right to permanently exclude any person from participating in any and all Contests if such person fails to comply with the applicable Short Rules and Contest Rules for different Contests hosted by QuadReal. This determination will be made by QuadReal in its sole discretion, and will be effective upon QuadReal delivering notice of such determination to the email address or social media account last used by such person to enter a Contest. - Contest Prizes. The prize(s) for each Contest (each a “Prize”, and collectively, the “Prizes”) will consist of the prizes described in the applicable Short Rules. The odds of winning each Prize will depend on the number of eligible entries received in the Contest in which such Prize is being offered in accordance with the applicable Short Rules and these Contest Rules.
- Prize Conditions. The following other conditions apply to each Prize:
(a) Each Prize must be picked up in person by the Winner from the shopping centre location specified in the Short Rules, or as otherwise in accordance with the Short Rules.
(b) Any and all costs associated with each Prize is the responsibility of the Winner.
(c) Each Prize must be accepted as awarded, and may not be sold, bartered, transferred or assigned. No substitutions, cash equivalents or redemptions will be made. Each Prize is non-refundable.

(e) The Contest Partners make no warranties, express or implied, as to the condition, fitness or merchantability of any Prize, and do not assume any liability for a lost, damaged or misdirected Prize.
(f) QuadReal reserves the right to substitute any Prize, in whole or in part, with a prize or prize component of equal or greater value if the Prize or any component cannot be awarded for any reason. - How to Win. The potential winner(s) of each Contest will be selected by random number generator or otherwise in the manner specified in the Short Rules (each a “Selected Entrant”). QuadReal will attempt to contact the Selected Entrants within three business days of the draw for the applicable Contest (the “Contact Date”) at the email address or social media account used by such Selected Entrant to enter the applicable Contest unless otherwise specified in the Short Rules. Proof of identification must be provided by the Selected Entrant upon QuadReal’s request.

(b) correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, a time-limited, mathematical, skill-testing question; and
(c) complete and return to QuadReal within seven days of receipt, a standard declaration, indemnity and release form (the “Release”) executed by the Selected Entrant, confirming understanding and compliance with the applicable Short Rules and these Contest Rules and acceptance of the Prize as awarded, and providing a release in a form satisfactory to QuadReal, releasing the Contest Partners and Third Party Services, and their affiliated entities, of all liability arising out of such Contest, including without limitation, the selection of any Winner, the administration of such Contest, and the acceptance or the use of the applicable Prize as awarded.
If a Selected Entrant cannot be reached by the Contact Date for any reason, including, but not limited to, the fact that a Selected Entrant did not provide a functioning e-mail address or social media account, or if that Selected Entrant is unable to answer the skill-testing question or does not meet all of the conditions for the applicable Contest, the Contest Partners, in their sole discretion, may conduct another draw where one entry will be drawn at random from among all remaining eligible entries received in accordance with the applicable Short Rules and these Contest Rules.
