Terms of Use and Official Rules

Updated January 27, 2021

Thanks for using Raffskie.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully. By using Raffskie as a Visitor, Backer, Entrant, Subscriber, Contact or signing up for an account as a Sponsor, Affiliate or Advertiser, you're agreeing to these Terms, which will result in a legal agreement between you and Raffskie ("Agreement"). We'll start with the basics, including a few definitions that should help you understand these Terms. Raffskie ("Raffskie," "we," or "us") is an online Crowdsourcing and Group-sourcing platform (the "Service") focused on providing Contests and Giveaways that lower an individual's Health and Leisure expenses. (the "Service") offered through the URL raffskie.com (we'll refer to it as the "Website") allows individuals and businesses to, among other things, participate, enter, back, sponsor, refer, advertise, create, send, and manage certain contests/giveaways and marketing campaigns, including, without limitation, emails, advertisements, and mailings (each a "Campaign," and collectively, "Campaigns"). There are Live Campaigns and Backer Campaigns. Live Campaigns are actual Live Contests and Giveaways. Backer Campaigns are NOT Live Contests or Giveaways yet. As is the case with some other well established and larger platforms, Raffskie's Backer Campaigns are all or nothing. No one will be entered or charged for a pledge towards a Backer Campaign unless it reaches the minimum requirement to go Live. By setting a minimum number of Backers, Raffskie can effectively determine which Campaign's people are interested in. raffskie.com is owned and operated by the R.Y.D.M. Company and has employees, independent contractors, suppliers, partners and representatives ("our Team"). As a customer of the Service or a representative of an entity that's a customer of the Service, you're either a Sponsor, Affiliate, Advertiser, Contact, Subscriber, Visitor, Backer or an Entrant according to this Agreement (or "you").

Raffskie is an internet-based self-service. Internet-based Self-services are a sub-type of services driven by self-service technologies which provide technological interfaces allowing customers to use services independently of the involvement of direct service employees. While our Service hopefully makes it easy to launch a successful promotion, much of the success of any Raffskie contest/giveaway depends on the prize, promotion and region of the campaign. Raffskie operates a Crowdsourcing and Group-sourcing platform focused on providing Contests and Giveaways that lower an individual's Health and Leisure expenses. There are Live Campaigns and Backer Campaigns. Live Campaigns are actually Live Contests and Giveaways. Backer Campaigns are NOT Live Contests or Giveaways yet. As is the case with some other well-established platforms, Raffskie's Backer Campaigns are all or nothing. By setting a minimum number of Backers, Raffskie can effectively determine which Campaign's people are interested in. Raffskie does not provide refunds or credits for a contest/giveaway promotion deemed as ‘poor performing' by the Sponsor, Affiliate or Advertiser. Each Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that all Raffskie prizes are provided by either a Raffskie affiliate, prize sponsor, partner, associate, supplier or licensor and in many cases the Sponsor themselves. Each Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that Raffskie reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to choose all categories or prizes for each contest/giveaway. Each Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that in many cases the prizes are supplied by a Raffskie supplier, affiliate, associate, partner or licensor which may originate from outside the State, Province or Country. Each Sponsor, Affiliate or Advertiser acknowledges that the Raffskie service is not intended to induce or reward referrals for goods or services reimbursed under any state or federal healthcare programs. Furthermore, the service will not influence any Medicare beneficiary to order or receive items or services payable by federal or state programs from a particular provider. The Raffskie business is a private pay business model. Each Sponsor, Affiliate or Advertiser acknowledges that by opening and using the account password, they have read and agree to all terms of use. Each Sponsor acknowledges and agrees they are using raffskie.com as a contest/giveaway administrator and are choosing to Sponsor a Raffskie contest/giveaway in order to support their local community and target promotions. Each Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that in the case of an active account or in the event a Sponsor, Affiliate or Advertiser chooses to close their account, Raffskie still reserves the right to contact all backers-entrants-subscribers-contacts or sponsors/affiliates/advertisers relating to future promotional or legal issues. Each Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that payment for the Raffskie services may change in the future. The services could be but are not limited to a Pay as You Go, Monthly (or) a charge for an Add-On account. Certain Pay as You Go (or) Add-ons may require a monthly or upfront payment for the Raffskie service. In either case you'll still be considered a Sponsor, Affiliate or Advertiser and all of these Terms of Use will still apply to you. Raffskie would contact the Sponsor, Affiliate or Advertiser beforehand regarding any changes in Policy. Each Sponsor, Affiliate or Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Raffskie will keep all the backer and entrant lists on file for auditing purposes a minimum of 7 years in order to comply with Federal and State Contest and Giveaway Laws.

Official Definition of Backer Campaigns

Backer Campaigns are designed to create interest for a specific kind of Contest or Giveaway. Backer Campaigns are NOT Live Contests or Giveaways yet. They never go Live until the Campaign meets the minimum interest and goal. After which time every Backer automatically becomes an Entrant. A Backer Campaign on Raffskie is all-or-nothing. No one will be entered or charged for a pledge towards a Backer Campaign unless it reaches the minimum requirement to go Live.

Official Definition of a Backer

A Backer is someone who pledges support for a specific kind of Contest or Giveaway in the hopes it will have created the minimum interest and requirement to go Live. No Backer will be entered or charged for a pledge towards a Backer Campaign unless it reaches the minimum requirement to go Live. Backers automatically become Entrants if the Backer Campaign becomes successful.

NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF WINNING.

  1. Eligibility: This Campaign is open only to those who sign up at raffskie.com and who are 18 years of age or older as of the date of entry.

Export Controls

The software that supports the Service (the "Software") is subject to U.S. Export Control Laws and Regulations. Export laws are set up by the government to keep certain goods and services from reaching other countries, usually because of security concerns or trade agreements. None of the Software may be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported in violation of U.S. Export Control Laws and Regulations and any other applicable export laws and regulations (collectively, "Export Control Laws"). Therefore, you agree that you won't, directly or indirectly through a third party, allow the Software or your Campaigns to be accessed or generated from within, or distributed or sent to, any prohibited or embargoed country as mentioned in any Export Control Laws. In addition, you certify that neither you nor any principals, officers, directors, or any person or entity you know to be directly involved with the use of the Service is designated on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted persons. It's important to note that this Section isn't meant to provide a comprehensive summary of the Export Control Laws that govern Raffskie, the Service, or the Software. You're downloading and using the Software at your own risk, and it's your responsibility to consult with a legal advisor to make sure your use of the Service and the Software complies with applicable laws.

If we determine, and notify you, that you need to forward all or part of that information to anyone on your Lists, you'll promptly do so.
