In the event of cancellation, all seat purchasers will receive a full refund of their purchase price. Free mail-in entrants will be notified of the cancellation by email. The Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, extend the 90-day period or reduce the number of available seats to facilitate the completion of the event.

Mail-in requests must be postmarked before the start time of the corresponding webinar event and received before the start time of the webinar event in order to be eligible. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, postage-due, misdirected, mutilated, or stolen mail-in entries. Mechanically reproduced entries are not permitted.
5. Odds of Winning
The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received for each webinar event. Free entries and paid entries have equal odds of winning.
6. Winner Selection and Notification
At the conclusion of each webinar broadcast, one (1) winner will be selected at random from all eligible entries received for that event. The random selection will be conducted live on camera by Sponsor or its designated representative using a verifiable random selection process. Only the winning seat number will be announced during the broadcast. No participant names will be disclosed publicly.
The winner will be contacted directly by email and/or telephone within forty-eight (48) hours of selection. The winner’s status will be listed as “pending” on the Winners page until verification is complete.
Forfeiture: If the selected winner cannot be contacted or fails to respond within fourteen (14) days of the initial notification attempt, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be selected at random from the remaining eligible entries.
Ineligibility: If the selected winner is found to be ineligible to receive the prize, including residing in a jurisdiction where possession of the prize firearm is prohibited or failing a required background check at the FFL dealer, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be selected at random from the remaining eligible entries.
7. Prizes and Shipping
The prize for each Sweepstakes is the firearm or accessory featured in the corresponding webinar event listing. The approximate retail value (ARV) of each prize is listed on the corresponding webinar event listing page on gunstakes.com.
Shipping: Sponsor will ship the prize at no cost to the winner. Firearm prizes will be shipped to the winner’s designated FFL dealer within forty-eight (48) hours of winner verification. The winner will receive a tracking number once the prize has shipped. Accessory (non-firearm) prizes will be shipped directly to the winner’s mailing address.
All prizes are awarded “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied, beyond any applicable manufacturer’s warranty. No substitution, transfer, or cash equivalent of prizes is permitted, except at the sole discretion of Sponsor due to prize unavailability, in which case a prize of equal or greater value will be awarded.
8. Firearm Transfer Requirements
Federal law requires that all firearm prizes be transferred to the winner through a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder. Sponsor will coordinate the shipment of any firearm prize to a licensed FFL dealer of the winner’s choosing within the winner’s state of residence. The winner is solely responsible for all FFL transfer fees charged by the receiving dealer, all applicable background check fees, and full compliance with all federal, state, and local laws regarding the receipt, possession, transportation, and ownership of firearms in the winner’s jurisdiction. It is the winner’s responsibility to understand and comply with all firearms laws applicable in their state of residence. If the winner fails the required background check or is otherwise unable to legally receive the firearm at the FFL dealer, the firearm will be returned to the Sponsor, the prize will be forfeited, and an alternate winner will be selected as described in Section 6.
9. Taxes
All federal, state, and local taxes on prizes are the sole responsibility of the winner.
