Contest Disclaimer
The following are basic rules governing all contests conducted on Nova Scotia Adopt-A-Highway and the Nova Scotia Pick-Me-Up (AAH). If no other rules are published for a particular contest or promotion, the following rules will apply. In some instances, rules for individual contests and promotions may conflict with these rules in which case, the individual contest rules will take precedence over the basic rules. All contests are void where prohibited by law.
Prizes
The prize(s) that may be awarded to the eligible winner(s) are not transferable, redeemable for cash or exchangeable for any other prize. Participants must provide valid and accurate contact information. If a winner cannot be contacted or is disqualified for any reason, AAH reserves the right to determine an alternate winner or not to award that winner’s prize, in its sole discretion.
Eligibility and Limitations
Participants and winner(s) must be Nova Scotia residents. Limit of one entry per person/group, unless otherwise specified. Only one (1) prize per household for the contest. In the case of email contests, limit of 1 entrant per email sent/received. There is no limitation on age, unless otherwise specified. Employees of AAH, the contest’s participating sponsors, and their advertising agencies, and members of the immediate family of any such persons are not eligible to participate and win. The term “immediate family” includes spouses, siblings, parents, children, grandparents, and grandchildren, whether as “in-laws,” or by current or past marriage(s), remarriage(s), adoption, co-habitation or other family extension, and any other persons residing at the same household whether related.

By participating, where allowed by law, all participants and winner(s) grant AAH exclusive permission to use their names, characters, photographs, voices, videotape, and likenesses in connection with promotion of this and other contests and waive any claims to royalty, right, or remuneration for such use. By participating in the contest, where allowed by law, participants agree that AAH may disclose personal information obtained from participants in the contest to third parties and use such information for marketing and other purposes.
Disqualification: Fraud
Failure to comply with any published contest rules is grounds for immediate disqualification from the contest. AAH reserves the right to disqualify any entry not conforming to the rules of the promotion at any time. AAH and its contest and promotional partners assume no responsibility for entry fraud committed by any entrant. In the event it is determined that an ineligible entrant wins a prize, AAH reserves all rights to the ownership and return of the prize and all costs associated with remedying any prize award to an ineligible entry or entrant.
Misinformation
AAH is not responsible for undeliverable, lost, delayed, misdirected or misaddressed email or any other issues regarding the electronic delivery of the contest form. This includes, but is not limited to, the speed at which your email service routes email through the internet. The sole determiner of eligibility for the final drawing will be the time the email or entry form is received at our offices.
