Prize: One (1) winner will receive one
(1) Elite Matrice 4T Thermal Recovery Kit, with an approximate retail
value (ARV) of $11,500, including standard accessories as provided by
Drone Deer Recovery. Winners who purchased a DJI Matrice 4T during the
giveaway period (June 2, 2025–August 31, 2025) may choose a cash payment
of $11,500, equivalent to the ARV of the Elite Matrice 4T Thermal Recovery
Kit, to be issued via check within 30 days of verification. Non-purchasers
will receive the Elite Matrice 4T Thermal Recovery Kit. The prize (or cash
option, if chosen) is non-transferable, and no substitutions are allowed
except at the Sponsor’s discretion. The winner is responsible for all
federal, state, and local taxes associated with the prize or cash payment,
as well as any shipping or delivery costs, if applicable. The winner may
need to pay estimated taxes upfront based on the prize’s or cash payment’s
$11,500 ARV. The Elite Matrice 4T Thermal Recovery Kit is subject to FAA
regulations, including registration for drones weighing over 250 grams and
compliance with applicable drone operation laws. Winner is responsible for
obtaining any necessary certifications or licenses for legal use. The
prize may not be exported outside the U.S. due to regulatory restrictions.
The prize or cash payment will be delivered to the winner within 30 days
of verification, subject to availability and any unforeseen delays. If the
cash option is selected, the Sponsor will report the payment to the IRS as
required by law.
Winner Selection: One (1) winner will be selected
via random drawing on or about September 5, 2025, conducted by Drone Deer
Recovery. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries.
Winner Notification: The winner will be notified via
email or phone within 5 days of the drawing. The winner must respond
within 48 hours to claim the prize and, if eligible, select their
preferred option (Elite Kit or cash payment), or an alternate winner will
be selected. As the prize value exceeds $600, the winner must provide a
Social Security Number for IRS Form 1099 reporting, regardless of the
chosen option. The winner may be required to sign an affidavit of
eligibility and liability/publicity release within 48 hours of
notification to claim the prize.
Privacy: Personal data collected (e.g.,
name, address, phone, email) will be used solely for administering the
giveaway and delivering the prize or cash payment, in compliance with
applicable data protection laws. Data will be securely stored and deleted
after the giveaway, except as required by law.
