    portion of the foregoing grant is unenforceable under applicable law, including
    with respect to residents of Canada, each entrant grants to Sponsor a

    Submission will be deemed to be the entrant. Eligible Submissions will be
    disqualified if they are forged, falsified, altered, or improperly tampered

    could be considered inappropriate, unsuitable or offensive, all as determined
    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

    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
    (including a valid shipping address within the United States or Canada and, if
    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.

    Failure to respond to the notification or to return any properly
    executed prize documents within the specified time will result in forfeiture of
    the prize.

    Sponsor will attempt to contact each designated Tagged Friend via
    Instagram DM from @counterbeautyofficial. Each Tagged Friend must respond to
    the notification and provide the information reasonably requested by Sponsor
    (including a valid shipping address within the United States or Canada) and, if
    requested, return a completed and personally signed Affidavit of Eligibility
    and Liability/Publicity Release, in each case within five (5) business days of
    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
    the alternate potential Winner (in accordance with the procedure above, with
    necessary amendment) from amongst all remaining eligible Entries. All expenses,
    taxes or fees on receipt and use of prize are the sole responsibility of the
    applicable Winner.
