1. NO PURCHASE ENTRY: (i)
There are two ways in which to enter, both without a purchase or rental: The
first method is to enter any participating Blockbuster Canada location and to
show your Blockbuster card and provide your valid email address to a
Blockbuster associate at the checkout counter during the Entry Period
(“In-Store Entry”). Only Blockbuster members who do not already have their
e-mail address registered with Blockbuster Canada can enter via an In-Store
Entry. The second, alternative method is to ask the Blockbuster associate for a
Contest card, which will have a promotional number on the bottom of the card.
Take the card and log onto the Blockbuster Canada website at www.blockbuster.ca
(the “Website”) during the Entry Period and click on the “Hyundai” icon. If you
are a BLOCKBUSTER™ Buzz member, click on “yes” and enter your BLOCKBUSTER Buzz™
user identification. If you are not a BLOCKBUSTER Buzz member, you will be
asked to register before proceeding. Next, enter your personal information and
the promotional number found at the bottom of the Contest card. If you are
already a BLOCKBUSTER Buzz member you must still enter the promotional number
at the bottom of the contest card. Once you have entered in your information
along with the promotional number, you will be entered into the contest
(“Online Entry”). Note that if you provided your email address to the
Blockbuster Associate at the checkout counter, you may register again online
through the Website, giving you two entries in the Contest. Your entry must be
received during the Entry Period. Proof of sending entry will not be deemed to
be proof of receipt. (ii) By entering the Contest, you consent to the receipt
by e-mail of the BLOCKBUSTER Buzz newsletter. Each newsletter allows the
recipient to opt-out of receiving further newsletters. (iii) Limit of one (1)
In-Store Entry per person and one (1) Online Entry per person, subject to the
following: persons who have already registered their e-mail address with
Blockbuster as of the beginning of the Entry Period cannot enter via the
In-Store Entry method. All entrants may receive an additional entry if they
list the e-mail address of a friend so that Blockbuster can transmit an email
from the entrant notifying the friend about the Contest and that friend
subsequently registers for the Contest by responding to the email (“Referred
Entrant”), subject to the following: entrants may only list e-mail addresses of
friends who consent to receiving such communications. Blockbuster does not
store or retain the Referred Entrant’s e-mail address once the e-mail
communication has been transmitted unless the Referred Entrant registers for
the Contest. Limit one additional entry per Referred Entrant, up to a maximum
of 6 Referred Entrants per person. (iv) Complete rules and regulation for this
contest may be viewed on-line at www.blockbuster.ca. (v) All personal
information submitted in relation to the Contest will handled in accordance
with applicable Canadian privacy laws and the privacy policy of Sponsor (see
www.blockbuster.ca to view Sponsor’s privacy policy) in place from
time to time. Because we will be sending you a copy of the BLOCKBUSTER Buzz
e-newsletter in response to your registration, your registration for the
Contest will void any prior election you may have made to opt out of receiving
regular communications from Blockbuster
