Giveaway Rules & Terms

No purchase necessary to enter or win. Making a purchase or payment of any kind will not increase your chances of winning. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.

Promotion Description

Each CraveBooks giveaway ("Sweepstakes") begins and ends on the dates shown on that giveaway's page (the "Promotion Period"). The sponsor of the Sweepstakes is CraveBooks ("Sponsor"). By participating, each entrant ("Entrant") unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final and binding in all respects.

Sponsor is responsible for collecting and processing entries and for the overall administration of the Sweepstakes. Entrants should direct any questions, comments or problems related to the Sweepstakes to Sponsor only, by email at hello@cravebooks.com.

Each giveaway is presented in partnership with one or more Giveaway Partners ("Giveaway Partners"). Depending on the giveaway, these may include:

  1. the participating author(s) whose book(s) are featured;
  2. reader newsletters and websites owned or operated by CraveBooks; and
  3. third-party partners and vendors on the CraveBooks platform.

Giveaway Partners are matched to the genre of the giveaway. For example, a romance giveaway may include the featured romance author(s), CraveBooks, and a romance reader list such as Pillow Talk Books. The Giveaway Partners for each giveaway are listed on that giveaway's entry page. CraveBooks remains solely responsible for administering the Sweepstakes, selecting winners, and awarding prizes.

Eligibility

The Sweepstakes is open to individuals who are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where they live if older, and who reside in a country where the Sweepstakes is not prohibited or restricted by law.

Sponsor, the Giveaway Partners for that giveaway, and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, and advertising and promotion agencies, and each of their officers, directors and employees (the "Promotion Entities"), are not eligible to enter or win. Household Members and Immediate Family Members of these individuals are also not eligible. "Household Members" means people who share the same residence at least three months a year. "Immediate Family Members" means parents, stepparents, legal guardians, children, stepchildren, siblings, stepsiblings, or spouses.

The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited or restricted by law.

Prizes

The prize for each giveaway is the book bundle described on that giveaway's page, including the titles and format(s) listed there. No other prizes are offered. Prizes have no cash value. No cash alternative, substitution or transfer of a prize is permitted, except that Sponsor may substitute a book or format of equal or greater value if a listed title becomes unavailable. Prizes are delivered as described on the giveaway page.

How to Enter

Enter during the Promotion Period by completing the entry form on the giveaway page at https://cravebooks.com. Entries must be submitted by the Entrant personally. Automated or robotic entries will be disqualified. Any attempt to obtain more than the permitted number of entries by using multiple email addresses, identities, registrations or logins, or by using commercial sweepstakes entry services, will void the Entrant's entries and may result in disqualification.

All entries must be received by the end of the Promotion Period. Sponsor's database clock is the official timekeeper. Final eligibility for any prize is subject to verification as described below.

Email Communications & Giveaway Partners

By entering a giveaway, you agree that the information you provide, including your name and email address, will be shared with CraveBooks and with the Giveaway Partners listed for that giveaway. You agree to receive email newsletters, book recommendations, deals, and promotional offers from CraveBooks and from each of those Giveaway Partners. These communications will relate to the genre of the giveaway you entered. This includes being contacted directly by the author(s) featured in the giveaway. Each featured author may add you to their own newsletter and email you about their books, new releases, giveaways, and related offers.

Each Giveaway Partner that receives your information may add you to its own mailing list and will use your information according to its own privacy policy. Every email you receive will include an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing from one sender does not unsubscribe you from the others. To ask CraveBooks to stop sharing your information with future Giveaway Partners, contact hello@cravebooks.com.

Meta / Facebook

This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Meta Platforms, Inc. or its services, including Facebook and Instagram (collectively, "Meta"). By entering, you release Meta from any and all liability in connection with the Sweepstakes. You are providing your information to CraveBooks and the Giveaway Partners, not to Meta. Questions about the Sweepstakes should be directed to CraveBooks, not Meta.

CraveBooks uses Meta's advertising tools to promote giveaways and books. These include the Meta Pixel, Conversions API and conversion tracking on our website, plus Meta Custom Audiences and Lookalike Audiences. CraveBooks may upload your email address to Meta in hashed (encrypted) form. Meta uses it to match you to a Meta account so that CraveBooks can:

  • show you relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram, or exclude you from ads you've already responded to;
  • measure how our ad campaigns perform;
  • build "lookalike" audiences of readers with similar interests.

Meta handles this data under its own terms and privacy policy. You can opt out of this use by emailing hello@cravebooks.com. You can also manage how Meta shows you ads in your Facebook or Instagram ad settings.

Winner Selection

Winners are selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. The drawing will be conducted within about 7 days after the Promotion Period ends by Sponsor or its designated representatives, whose decisions are final. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.

Winner Notification

Winners will be notified at the email address provided with their entry, approximately within 7 days after the drawing. A potential winner must accept the prize by email, as directed by Sponsor, within 7 days of notification. Sponsor is not responsible for any delay or failure to receive notification for any reason, including inactive email accounts, technical difficulties, or a winner's failure to monitor their email. A notification that goes unanswered or is returned as undeliverable may result in forfeiture of the prize, and an alternate winner may be selected.

A potential winner may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, a release of liability, and a publicity release (together, the "Prize Claim Documents").

Privacy

Personal information you provide is subject to the CraveBooks Privacy Policy and, once shared with a Giveaway Partner, that partner's privacy policy. See "Email Communications & Giveaway Partners" and "Meta / Facebook" above for how entry information is shared and used.

Limitation of Liability

By entering, you agree to release and hold harmless CraveBooks, the Giveaway Partners, Meta, and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising and promotion agencies, partners, representatives, agents, successors, assigns, employees, officers, and directors from any liability, illness, injury, death, loss, litigation, claim, or damage that may occur, directly or indirectly, whether caused by negligence or not, from:

  1. your participation in the Sweepstakes and/or your acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of any prize or any portion of it;
  2. technical failures of any kind, including the malfunction of any computer, cable, network, hardware, or software;
  3. the unavailability or inaccessibility of any transmission, telephone, or Internet service;
  4. unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Sweepstakes;
  5. electronic or human error in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing of entries.
