of Sponsor and its licensees, successors and assigns, all moral rights and
rights of a similar nature in and to the Eligible Submission, including any
such rights arising under the Copyright Act (Canada). If and to the extent any
portion of the foregoing grant is unenforceable under applicable law, including
with respect to residents of Canada, each entrant grants to Sponsor a

by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
Sponsor, although not obligated to screen content, reserves the right to
screen all Entry Materials. Any Entry Materials that Sponsor deems, in its sole
discretion, to violate the terms and conditions set forth in these rules are
subject to disqualification. Sponsor reserves the right, at any time and for
any reason, to remove any Entry Materials (or any part thereof) and/or to
request an entrant to modify, edit and/or re-submit his or her Entry Materials
(or any part thereof) in order to ensure that the Entry Materials comply with
these rules, or for any other reason. If such an action is necessary at any
point during or after this Giveaway, then Sponsor reserves the right, in its
sole discretion, to take whatever action it deems necessary based on the circumstances,
including, without limitation, disqualifying the Entry Materials and entrant
(and therefore the corresponding Entry) to help ensure that this Giveaway is
being conducted in accordance with Sponsor’s interpretation of the letter and
spirit of these rules.
4. WINNER SELECTION: On or
about August 19, 2026, Sponsor (or its designee) will select eleven (11)
eligible entrants in a random drawing from among all eligible Entries received
during the Entry Period, and such entrants will be declared the Potential
Winners. Sponsor will, via the same selection method, select one (1) alternate
potential winner in the event that a Potential Winner is disqualified or
forfeits a prize. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible Entries
received during the Entry Period. Sponsor’s determination as to the conduct of
the drawing and the selection of Potential Winners is final and binding in all
respects.
Skill-Testing Question (Canadian Residents). As a condition of
being declared a Winner, each Potential Winner who is a resident of Canada must
first correctly answer, unaided and within the time period specified by
Sponsor, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question administered by
Sponsor in a manner and at a time determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
Any Canadian Potential Winner who fails to correctly answer the skill-testing
question within the specified time will be disqualified and will forfeit the
prize.
Tagged Friend Prizes. Each Potential Winner may designate the
Tagged Friend identified in such Potential Winner’s Entry to receive one (1)
additional prize (a “Friend Prize”). A Tagged Friend is eligible to receive a
Friend Prize only if the Tagged Friend: (i) satisfies all eligibility
requirements set forth in Section 1; (ii) provides a valid shipping address in
the United States or Canada; (iii) agrees to these Official Rules; (iv)
completes any verification and returns any prize documents required by Sponsor
within the time specified in Section 5; and (v) if a resident of Canada,
correctly answers a mathematical skill-testing question as described above.
Each Tagged Friend who accepts a Friend Prize is deemed a “Winner” for purposes
of Sections 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11 of these Official Rules. If a Potential Winner
does not designate an eligible Tagged Friend, or if the designated Tagged
Friend fails to satisfy the foregoing conditions, no Friend Prize will be
awarded in respect of that Winner and Sponsor shall have no obligation to award
that prize to any other person. A Winner’s receipt of a prize is not
conditioned on any Tagged Friend claiming a Friend Prize.
AN ENTRANT IS NOT AN OFFICIAL WINNER (“WINNER”) UNLESS AND UNTIL
ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED, THE SPONSOR’S REQUIRED PRIZE
DOCUMENT(S) (IF ANY) ARE COMPLETED AND RETURNED, AND THE ENTRANT HAS BEEN
ADVISED BY SPONSOR THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. As part of verification,
Sponsor will confirm that each potential Winner’s Instagram account is an
authentic, active account operated by an individual and is not a bot,
automated, or fake account.
5. NOTIFICATION / PRIZE
ACCEPTANCE: The Potential Winners will be notified by Sponsor via Instagram
direct message (DM) from @counterbeautyofficial within seven (7) days after the
Winners are determined. Each potential Winner must respond to the
notification DM and provide the information reasonably requested by Sponsor

the Winner elects to designate a Tagged Friend, the Instagram handle of the
Tagged Friend) and, if requested, return a completed and personally signed
Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release within five (5)
business days of Sponsor’s first notification attempt.

Sponsor’s first notification attempt. Failure to do so will result in
forfeiture of the Friend Prize.
Sponsor shall have no liability for any notification that is not received
by a potential Winner for any reason. If a potential Winner does not respond to
notification and accept the prize as required herein, such potential Winner
will be disqualified and forfeit the prize. If a potential Winner is found to
be ineligible, has not complied with these Official Rules, or declines the
prize, such potential Winner will be disqualified and forfeit the prize. If a
potential Winner is disqualified or forfeits the prize, Sponsor may call upon
