Maravia Raft Raffle

Rules, Regulations, Terms & Conditions

The Idaho Rivers United Raffle (the “Raffle”) is conducted by Idaho Rivers United (“IRU”).

Your purchase of one or more raffle tickets signifies your full and unconditional agreement to these Terms & Conditions. 

In the event of any dispute, IRU’s reasonable interpretation or determination regarding the application of these Terms & Conditions shall be final and binding in all matters related to the Raffle.

VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW AND OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.

The Raffle is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances. Tickets may sell out before the date of the raffle drawing. The chances of winning are based on the number of tickets sold. If fewer tickets are sold, the chances of winning improve. 

Eligibility

  • To be eligible to purchase a ticket and win any prize, you must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, whichever is older, as of the date of entry. 

  • The raffle ticket must be purchased in the State of Idaho.

  • Officers, directors, and employees of IRU, and their immediate family members,including spouses, parents, siblings, and children, are not eligible to purchase a ticket.

  • A ticket purchased by an ineligible person is void and cannot be a winning ticket. No refunds will be made to ineligible purchasers, except in IRU’s sole and absolute discretion.

  • Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all eligibility requirements set forth herein through the raffle drawing. IRU reserves the right to verify the eligibility of winners.

Tickets

  • A ticket represents a chance to win the opportunity to accept an offer of the stated prize. 

  • All ticket sales are final, and no refunds will be paid, except in IRU’s sole and absolute discretion.

  • Tickets, prizes, receipts, and any winner’s rights are not transferable. 

  • The IRS has ruled that a payment for a raffle ticket is a tax-deductible charitable contribution only to the extent the amount of the payment exceeds the price of the ticket. 

  • IRU assumes no responsibility for lost, late, misdirected, or undelivered mail, email, or fax messages, or for any other failure to receive orders or deliver receipts before the drawing deadlines. All defective or altered tickets or entry forms may be disqualified.

The Drawing

The winning ticket for each prize will be selected by random drawing on the date of the raffle drawing. The date of the raffle drawing is subject to all laws, regulations, and Acts of God that would render the drawing illegal, unreasonable, or impractical. IRU will select the names of potential prize winners in a random drawing from all eligible raffle tickets. All tickets have an equal chance to win. Ticket purchasers need not be present to win. 

Winners

  • The odds of winning a prize depend on the number of valid raffle tickets sold. If fewer tickets are sold, the chances of winning improve. 

  • Each prize will be awarded to only one winner. 

  • Each winner must accept the prize “as is.” If a winner cannot be contacted, fails to accept the prize, or is disqualified for any reason, the prize will be forfeited and no substitute or alternative prize will be provided. A forfeited prize may be awarded to an alternate winner selected by random drawing or in accordance with applicable gaming agency regulations. 

  • Acceptance of a prize constitutes permission for IRU to use the winner’s name, picture, video image, and relevant quotes to promote the Idaho Rivers United Raffle, and constitutes the winner’s agreement that the prize will not be used for fundraising for another charity. IRU may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the stated prize is not reasonably available. 

  • The winner of each prize shall have no rights in or to the prize until the winner has been verified as eligible by IRU and delivery of the prize to the winner has been completed. Until that time, as between IRU and the winner, each prize remains the sole property of IRU. 

Verification of Potential Winners: ALL POTENTIAL WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO

VERIFICATION BY IRU, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL

MATTERS RELATED TO THE RAFFLE. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF

ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL THE ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN

VERIFIED AND THE ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS

COMPLETE.

Taxes/Prize Restrictions

  • Any and all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, and all fees and expenses related to acceptance and use of a prize not specifically stated herein, are solely the responsibility of the winner. 

  • A prize cannot be substituted, assigned, transferred, or redeemed for cash; however, IRU reserves the right to make equivalent prize substitutions at its sole discretion. IRU will not replace any lost or stolen prizes or components of a prize. A prize cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion or offer. 

  • Only the number of prizes stated in these Terms & Conditions is available to be won in the Raffle. If, by reason of a printing or other error, more prizes are claimed than the number set forth in these Terms & Conditions, an alternate winner will be chosen at random, in accordance with the winner selection method described above, from among all eligible claimants making purportedly valid claims, to award the advertised number of prizes available.

  • The value of each prize is includible in the winner’s gross income and may be subject to reporting by IRU to the Internal Revenue Service. Each winner is solely responsible for payment of all federal, state, and/or local income, sales, or use taxes due on account of his or her acceptance of the prize. 

  • With respect to any prize with a value of more than $5,000, the Internal Revenue Service requires IRU to withhold federal income tax at the rate of 24%, or the current rate established by the IRS, and the winner must pay the amount of tax to be withheld to IRU as a condition of transfer of ownership of the prize. If applicable, IRU may be required to withhold state tax at the current rate established by the state or commonwealth in which the Raffle occurs. 

  • IRU takes no responsibility for any tax liabilities. Winners should consult a tax professional.

In no event shall IRU or its officers, directors, employees, sponsors, or volunteers be liable to any person for any loss of earnings, profits, or goodwill, or for any incidental, special, punitive, consequential, or other damages of any person or entity, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, arising out of the Raffle or the use or ownership of the prizes.
