All required information on the registration form must be fully completed to register, and only one (1) registration will be accepted per person/business entity.
Quarterly and Grand Prize Drawings
Eligible participants who have registered for the Sweepstakes as described above may earn entries into the Sweepstakes quarterly and Grand Prize drawings in one of two ways:
(a) ScanSource will establish a quarterly purchase goal for each eligible participant and this goal may be accessed by the eligible participant on the Sweepstakes website as of the 10th day of each fiscal quarter (January 10, 2009; April 10, 2009; July 10, 2009; and October 10, 2009) during the Sweepstakes Period. The quarterly goal for each eligible participant will be determined by taking the total dollar amount purchases of Motorola products from ScanSource by the eligible participant in the quarter preceding the applicable quarter and increasing that figure by ten percent (10%). For example, an eligible participant’s quarterly goal for the first quarter of the Sweepstakes Period will be the total dollar amount of Motorola products the eligible participant purchased between October 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008, increased by ten percent (10%), and an eligible participant’s goal for the second quarter of the Sweepstakes Period will be the total dollar amount of Motorola products the eligible participant purchased between January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2009, increased by ten percent (10%) ScanSource will also establish an annual purchase goal for each eligible participant that will be determined by totaling the sum of each of the eligible participant’s four (4) quarterly purchase goals. Eligible participants who meet their quarterly purchase goal will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes drawing applicable to that quarter. Eligible participants who meet their annual purchase goal will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes Grand Prize drawing occurring at the end of the Sweepstakes Period. Eligible participants may earn additional entries into the quarterly Sweepstakes drawings and the Sweepstakes Grand Prize drawing as follows:
