Gifts will be available at the start of each store’s business day during the Giveaway Period and will be awarded to eligible customers on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Gifts are limited in quantity, with a limit of one (1) Gift per customer. This offer is valid only at participating retail locations and is not available online. This Giveaway is not valid for employees of Hot Topic, BoxLunch, Her Universe, or Thrilljoy, or for their immediate family members.

One (1) randomly selected Gift will be a unique 1-of-1 Chase Variant (“Chase Variant”). The customer who receives the Chase Variant and meets all eligibility requirements will be deemed the potential winner (the “Winner”) of a Lord of the Rings-themed trip for two (2) to New Zealand (the “Trip”), provided by Thrilljoy, LLC (“Thrilljoy”). To be eligible to receive the Trip, the Winner must be at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time the prize is awarded. If the Winner is under twenty-one (21) years of age, the guest accompanying the Winner must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age in order to check into hotel accommodations.

The Trip will consist solely of the following elements: (i) round-trip airfare for two (2) to New Zealand from a major airport selected at Thrilljoy’s sole discretion, (ii) hotel accommodations for a duration determined by Thrilljoy, (iii) a guided tour of Hobbiton™ in New Zealand, (iv) a VIP Tour for two of WETA Workshop in Wellington, New Zealand, and (v) roundtrip ground transportation between the airport, Hobbiton, and WETA Workshop. The total Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of the Trip is $20,000.00 USD; however, the actual value may vary depending on point of departure and fluctuations in airfare at the time of booking. Any difference between the stated ARV and the actual value will not be awarded.

The Winner and their guest must travel on the same itinerary. If the Winner elects to travel without a guest, the remaining portion of the prize will be forfeited and no additional compensation will be provided. The Trip must be accepted as awarded and is non-transferable, non-refundable, and not redeemable for cash or other substitutions, except at Thrilljoy’s sole discretion. Thrilljoy reserves the right to substitute the Trip (or any element thereof) with a prize of equal or greater value in the event that any part of the Trip is unavailable. No stopovers or open tickets will be permitted once travel is booked. All travel arrangements, including but not limited to booking, class of service, hotel accommodations, and itinerary, are at Thrilljoy’s sole discretion.

The Trip includes only those elements specifically listed herein. All other expenses and costs associated with the Trip, including but not limited to meals, travel insurance, telephone calls, baggage fees, gratuities, souvenirs, personal items, and any other incidental costs, are solely the responsibility of the Winner. The Winner is solely responsible for obtaining valid travel documentation, including any necessary identification, passports, visas, and compliance with international entry requirements, all at their own expense. Once issued, airline tickets are non-transferable and may not be reissued if lost or stolen. Travel must commence and be completed by dates designated by Thrilljoy. If the Winner is unable or unwilling to travel on the designated dates, the prize will be forfeited in its entirety.

In the event that fulfillment of the Trip, or any portion thereof, is delayed, hindered, or rendered impossible due to causes outside Thrilljoy’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor strikes, government action, public health emergencies, epidemics or pandemics (including, without limitation, COVID-19 and any mutations or variants thereof), or other force majeure events, Thrilljoy reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Trip, delay its fulfillment, or offer alternate travel arrangements. Additional time for redemption may be granted at Thrilljoy’s discretion.

The Winner will be solely responsible for all applicable taxes, including federal, state, and local income taxes, and any other costs or expenses not specifically stated in these Terms. The Winner may be required to complete an IRS Form W-9 and/or other tax documentation, and may receive an IRS Form 1099 reflecting the total fair market value of the prize. 

Except where prohibited, the potential Winner will also be required to complete and return a declaration of eligibility and liability/publicity release in order to claim the Trip.
