  1. Eligibility.
    a. In addition to any eligibility requirements otherwise related to the Campaign, those entering the Campaign (“Participant”) must be at least 18 years of age (21 years of age if alcohol is involved) and above the age of majority in the jurisdiction of their residence as of the date of entry.  Participant must be an IT influencer or IT decision maker for their employer, and their employer should not have an open opportunity with Juniper, as determined solely by Juniper. Participant must schedule and/or attend a meeting or webinar with Juniper on or before the final date of the Campaign, as further described in the Campaign Information in order to be eligible for a Giveaway Item.
    b. Employees of Juniper partners or distributors are not eligible for a Giveaway Item. Employees of Juniper Networks  and its subsidiaries and employees of any organizations responsible for sponsoring, fulfilling or administering this Campaign and each of their affiliates, as well as the immediate family members (i.e., parents, spouse, siblings, children, grandparents, stepparents, stepchildren and step siblings, and their respective spouses) and persons living in the same household (whether or not related) of all such foregoing individuals are also not eligible to enter or win.  Government and state employees, and “foreign officials” are prohibited from participating in the Campaign or from accepting any giveaway items even if invited by Juniper to participate. Participants are required to determine for themselves whether they would be deemed to be government or state employees or foreign officials under relevant laws. Participants are ineligible if, and required to determine for themselves whether, their employer restricts entry into a Campaign, or collection of a Giveaway Item. Residents of any sanctioned country or region in which Juniper or any of its affiliates are prohibited by any applicable law to offer this Campaign or to deliver a Giveaway Item are not eligible. Any entry from an ineligible person is void. Potential Participant(s) may be required to provide proof of eligibility.
  2. Giveaway Item.
    a. The giveaway item will be described in the Campaign Information (a “Giveaway Item”). A Giveaway Item cannot be resold or transferred to parties other than the qualified and eligible Participant  (unless Campaign rules require the giveaway item to be accepted on behalf of Participant’s employer, that employer will then be considered the “Participant” for the purposes of Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, as applicable), or redeemed for cash or substituted by the Participant, except Juniper reserves the right to provide a substitute item of approximately equal value. The approximate retail value (ARV) of the item represents Juniper’s good faith determination. If the actual value of the giveaway item turns out to be less than the stated ARV, the difference will not be awarded in cash. Each Participant is responsible for any other costs incurred beyond the value of the Giveaway Item. Failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions, including satisfaction of all eligibility requirements, will result in forfeiture of the giveaway item and any entitlements thereto. Juniper is the promoter of this Campaign. If a Giveaway Item comes with an expiration date, Participant will no longer be eligible for the Giveaway Items after the expiration date. Juniper is not responsible for, and will not replace, expired Giveaway Items. Supplies are limited.
    b. On occasion, Juniper may offer an honorarium to a recognized charity in lieu of a Giveaway Item. Juniper will make the charitable contribution directly to the the charity or designate the Juniper Foundation to make the contribution. Juniper reserves the right to delay making the contribution until the promotion has concluded.
  3. Delivery Requirements.
    Juniper reserves the right to disqualify an otherwise eligible Participant if delivery of a Giveaway Item cannot lawfully occur because (i) the goods or services awarded cannot lawfully enter or be entered in the named destination country for any reason (including without limitation lack of applicable homologation certification) or (ii) Juniper determines in its discretion that the product cannot without unreasonable expense and effort be exported lawfully to the Participant’s location or that the Participant has not furnished Juniper adequate information, assurances and certifications reasonably required to ensure that lawful delivery can occur.  Juniper shall have no responsibility for importation of goods into any country other than one in which Juniper maintains an order fulfillment distribution center. Delivery terms for any goods awarded shall be DDP (INCOTERMS 2020) via a fulfillment partner, unless Participant must be present to be eligible to win at a live event or unless the Giveaway Item can be delivered electronically via email. Juniper is not responsible for any delay or failure to receive notification (including any requested documentation) for any reason, including inactive email account(s), technical difficulties associated therewith, the Participant’s failure to adequately monitor any email account or delay in obtaining any required export license. Any Participant notification not responded to or returned as incomplete may result in a giveaway item forfeiture. The Campaign Information may require affirmative acceptance or other additional conditions for a Participant to be eligible, and failure to meet such affirmative acceptance requirement or other additional conditions will make the potential Participant ineligible.
