Blue Diamond/Almond Breeze NFT SweepstakesOfficial Rules
1. No Purchase Necessary: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE CHANCE OF WINNING.
2. How to Enter: In order to enter the Blue Diamond/Almond Breeze NFT Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”), the entrant must do following within the Sweepstakes Period (defined below):
A) Claim one of the specialized Almond Breeze NFTs on almondbreeze.apefuel.io.
The Sweepstakes begins on March 15, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. PST and ends once all of the NFTs have been claimed (“Sweepstakes Period”). Announcement will be made on social media once all NFTs have been claimed. Submissions submitted before the Sweepstakes Period begins or after the Sweepstakes Period ends will be disqualified.
Early access to receive an NFT will begin at 1:00 PM United States Pacific Time (“PT”) on March 15, 2022, and will end at 12:59 PM PT on March 16, 2022 (the “Early Access Period”). Early access will only be available to individuals who have signed up for the waitlist on the Promotional Site prior to the Early Access Period, who will be able to claim their NFTs by visiting the Promotional Site during the Early Access Period and providing the requested information. NFTs will be given away on a “first come, first serve” basis, and signing up for the waitlist is not a guarantee that you will receive an NFT. There will be no limit on the total number of NFTs, out of the 1,000 total, that will be given away during the Early Access Period, and Issuer therefore makes no guarantee that any NFTs will be available to the general public following the conclusion of the Early Access Period.
