MODEX 2020 INDUSTRY NIGHT “TRIP OF A LIFETIME” DOOR PRIZE OFFICIAL RULES & REGULATIONS
- HOW TO ENTER: Prize entries to MODEX 2020® Industry Night must be deposited as entries for the door prize drawing when
presented to MHI personnel at the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta Georgia, on March 11, 2020. By participating in this drawing, entrants agree to abide by
these Rules & Regulations as established by MHI, which reserves the right to qualify all entries and to reject any entry that does not meet the following requirements.
Submission of entries constitutes the entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules & Regulations, which are binding in all matters
related to MODEX 2020 INDUSTRY NIGHT DOOR PRIZE drawing. There can be no more than one entry per person attending Industry Night.
All entries must be received by 5:45 pm on March 11, 2020 to be eligible. Late, lost, illegible, incomplete, tampered with, duplicate, stolen, garbled, irregular, counterfeit, altered or incomplete entries,
as determined by MHI, will be eliminated from eligibility to win. No mechanically reproduced or software-generated entries are permitted.
All entries become the property of MHI and will not be returned and must be submitted in the name of an individual person. The prize can only be awarded to the person whose
name is on, or corresponds to, the winning entry or alternate entry.
- HOW TO WIN: The Finalist Winner must be present, must be 21 years of age or older, must present a valid photo ID and must meet all eligibility requirements including the execution and
delivery of all “Winning Documents.” The random drawing from qualified ticket entries will be begin at 5:45 p.m. on March 11, 2020, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, or at a later date,
place, and time if required due to unforeseen circumstances. (See Disclaimer below.) MHI assumes no responsibility for unanticipated delays in holding such drawing.
The drawing will take place in two rounds: First, MHI will draw at random four (4) ticket entries (the “Finalists”); these four (4) Finalists must identify themselves within two (2) minutes of
their ticket entry being drawn or another entrant will then be selected as a Finalist by random drawing from the remaining ticket entries. Completion of such an alternate drawing will foreclose any and
all claims of the original non-present Finalist entrant to the prize. MHI’s decision to hold such an alternate drawing is final. Second, after the four (4) Finalists are randomly selected, each
Finalist will draw one of four (4) “Envelopes” in random order determined by MHI. The winning Finalist will be the one whose Envelope contains the Golden Ticket for a Trip of a Lifetime.
If the winning Finalist is ineligible for any reason whatsoever, MHI may elect in its sole discretion to hold another random drawing to determine an alternate winner. Any such alternate drawing is
subject to scheduling by MHI without notice to any entrants. If no eligible potential Finalist Winner can be identified after reasonable attempts or no alternate drawing is deemed by MHI to be feasible or
reasonable, MHI may in its sole discretion decide not to award any prize. The winning Finalist is deemed to be a potential winner rather than the actual winner until his or her eligibility under these
Official Rules & Regulations is verified including executing all necessary “Winner Documents.”
- THE PRIZE: One (1) Finalist Winner, who is randomly selected by a drawing as set forth above, will receive a one luxury travel package to a location of his or her choice.
The Approximate Retail Value for the prize is $30,000, which includes travel coordination fees. (Final actual value at the time of booking and travel may vary depending on point of origin, fare fluctuations,
