GM Hot Button Event - Contest Rules & Regulations

This contest is held by General Motors of Canada Limited ("GMCL"). It runs from participating Dealer opening time on January 11, 2007 to participating Dealer closing time on February 28, 2007 (the "Contest Period").

Eligible Entrants: The "GM Hot Button" contest is open to residents of Canada who, at the time of entry, have reached the age of majority in their province of residence and possess a valid driver's license in the province in which they reside. Employees of GMCL, participating dealers, and each of their subsidiaries and affiliates, their advertising and promotional agencies affiliated with this contest, suppliers and members of their immediate family and those domiciled with such employees are not eligible to enter this contest. "Immediate family" is defined as parents, siblings, children, spouse or partner.

Entry: No purchase is necessary to enter this contest. No credit checks or signed papers are required to enter this contest. To enter, participants must visit an authorized and participating GM Canada Dealer location or display (Chevrolet / Pontiac / Buick / GMC / Saturn) during the Contest Period. The participant will be asked to input his/her full name, home address, primary home telephone number and the last five digits of his/her driver's licence into an Internet connected contest computer terminal. A computer-automated selection system will randomly determine whether the participant is a potential winner and will display either a winning message or a non-winning message on screen. A winning message will reveal the Vehicle Prize (equipped as described below) that the potential winner is eligible to receive, subject to correctly answering an arithmetical skill-testing question and to meeting the other conditions set forth in these contest rules. The participant will also receive a confirmation number for his/her game play. Individual contestants may enter the contest one time only as verified by their name, primary home phone number and last five digits of their driver's licence. GM Business Purchase customers may participate either once for their personal play or once for their company. Only one play per Fleet Account Number permitted. Business Purchase customers face the same eligibility guidelines as outlined above for individuals. An individual play and a fleet play for the same individual are not permitted. Business Purchase customers must inform their Dealer which play they are using. Please see your Dealer to verify whether you qualify as Business Purchase. If an Internet connected contest computer terminal is unavailable at the time a participant wants to enter the contest, a phone-in entry method will be made available following the instructions then given by the Dealer representative.

Vehicle Prizes: Once a potential winner has complied with the requirements in these contest rules to be a winner, such person will receive a credit equal to the total amount required to pay the Dealer for the Vehicle Prize (inclusive of applicable taxes such as sales tax and GST). There are 100 vehicles available to be won, as set forth in the table below:

Distribution of Prizes: Most of the Vehicle Prizes (82 of 100) are distributed regionally through dealers located in the General Motors zones outlined in the following table (see dealer for full details of zone boundaries). The 12 Wildcard Vehicle Prizes and the 6 Saturn Vehicle Prizes will be randomly awarded on a national basis throughout the Contest Period.

The distribution of Vehicle Prizes will be based on the location of participating GM dealerships/retail facilities and the make/brand of vehicles represented by the participating GM Dealer where the Hot Button contest has been played. For example, Pontiac/Buick/GMC vehicles can only be won at Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealerships.

The timing of all prizes will be randomly determined, however, reasonable efforts will be made to ensure that prizes are awarded throughout the duration of the contest.

The odds of receiving a Vehicle Prize will fluctuate during the Contest Period according to the number of entries during the Contest Period. This fluctuation in the odds aims to ensure that, as much as possible, all Vehicle Prizes are given out and that Vehicle Prizes remain available throughout the Contest Period. Odds shown below are a sample based on an estimated 500,000 game plays:

Prize Substitution: Should the winner wish to purchase or lease a vehicle from dealer stock other than the Vehicle Prize specified during game play, a Credit Prize applicable to that Vehicle Prize will be available, which the winner may use to reduce the total amount the winner would be required to pay the Dealer for the replacement vehicle of his/her choice. The Credit Prizes applicable to each Vehicle Prize are set forth in the table below:

Credit Prizes may only be applied to the purchase or lease of a new or demonstrator 2007 vehicles delivered from dealer stock at the dealership where the game was played, and must be redeemed by February 28, 2007. Should the replacement vehicle (including taxes and freight) have a lower value than the Credit Prize, the winner will forfeit the difference. Should the replacement vehicle (including taxes and freight) have a higher value than the Credit Prize, the winner will be responsible for the difference. Credit Prizes are not negotiable. Regardless of whether a winner accepts delivery of the Vehicle Prize as awarded, or elects to receive the Credit Prize instead, the Vehicle Prize shall be deemed to have been claimed and deducted from the pool of remaining available prizes.

Claim of Prize: Winners must accept delivery of the Vehicle Prizes from dealer stock at the dealership where the participant entered the contest on or before February 28, 2007. Each winning participant will be given a confirmation number with regard to their prize. No GMCL incentive programs may be combined with the Vehicle Prizes or Credit Prizes available in this contest; see gm.ca or your Dealer for full details. Any costs or expenses incurred by the participants in claiming or using their prize (including, without limitation, licence, certain environmental and other taxes, insurance, registration and PPSA/movable property registry fees) that are not expressly included in the description of the prizes above will be the responsibility of the winners. Neither Vehicle Prizes nor Credit Prizes are transferable and no cash substitutes are permitted. In order to win and claim a prize, all potential winners must present a valid driver's license for operation of an automobile, proof of insurance and license plates and pay any outstanding amounts payable to the Dealer prior to the release of the Vehicle Prize, or the replacement vehicle to which the Credit Prize was applied.

Skill Testing Question: In order to win and claim a prize, potential winners must have correctly answered at the time of entry, unaided, the arithmetical skill testing question located on the electronic entry form (or, where an internet connection computer terminal was unavailable at the time of entry, posed to the entrant during the phone-in entry process).

Amendments to Contest: GMCL may withdraw, amend or terminate this contest at any time for any reason without prior notice, but subject to applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, GMCL may terminate or amend this contest, in whole or in part, if, in its sole discretion, it determines that for any reason the contest is not running as originally planned (such as tampering or infection by computer virus, any defect in the computer-automated prize selection system or other technical failures, fraud, printing or distribution errors, or any other causes or occurrences that have compromised the fairness or integrity of the contest). This contest is subject to all applicable federal, provincial and municipal laws and regulations and is void where prohibited by law. The decision of GMCL will be final and binding on all entrants.

Releases: In order to win and claim a prize, potential winners will be required to sign a release form confirming compliance with the contest rules, acceptance of the Vehicle Prize or Credit Prize as presented and the waiver of any liability against GMCL (Chevrolet / Pontiac / Buick / GMC / Saturn) its parent, its Dealers, and each of their subsidiaries and affiliates, their advertising and promotional agencies affiliated with this contest, with regard to injury, accident, loss or damage of any kind including, without limitation, those arising out of a winning entrant's participation in this promotion and use and/or misuse of the prize.

GMCL reserves the right to void any entry (without notice to entrants individually) if, in its sole discretion, it determines that any person has entered this contest more than once or has tried to enter by any means which go against the intention of these Rules and which would be unfair to the other participants (example: computer hacking, fraudulent use of one or several access codes or obtaining such access codes through fraudulent means, etc.). Such entries will be automatically disqualified and GMCL reserves the right to seek remedies and damages to the fullest extent permitted by law - including criminal prosecution.
