The following rules apply to giveaways/sweepstakes on Just Another Hat. Rules are subject to change, so please check prior to entering giveaways/sweepstakes.

1. All prizes are identified on the giveaway post.

2. Giveaways/Sweepstakes are open to US residents, 18 years old and older unless otherwise specified. Entries are accepted from one person only, regardless of how many email addresses he/she uses. Residents of the same household may enter the same giveaway/sweepstakes.

3. The timeframe for each giveaway/sweepstakes will typically last 14 days unless the prize pack is part of a blog event. In the case that the prize pack is part of a blog event, the timeframe will be noted on the giveaway post.

4. At this time, entries for all giveaways/sweepstakes is through Giveaway Tools. Comments left on the giveaway post will not count as entries into the giveaway/sweepstakes. Optional entries are just that, optional. No purchase necessary to enter.

5. Winners are chosen via www.random.org. Once a winner is chosen, all of the winner's entries are verified. If entries cannot be verified, a new winner will be chosen via www.random.org. Odds of winning are based on the total number of entries received for a specific giveaway/sweepstakes. Winners will be emailed and have 48 hours to respond. If the winner does not respond within 48 hours, a new winner will be chosen. Once a winner has been confirmed, the winner's name will be published on the giveaway form and a blog post.
