AGREEMENT TO THE OFFICIAL RULES

By participating in the Promotion, each Entrant (on its own behalf and on behalf of the applicable ISC) fully and unconditionally agrees to and accepts to be legally bound by these Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor and the Administrator, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein, as determined in the sole discretion of the Sponsor.


PROMOTION DETAILS

April and May: An ISC must be registered for this Promotion by its Entrant Date (“The Promotion Deadline”) of April 22, 2024 for the April promotion and May 22, 2024 for the May promotion to qualify to earn Around the Wheel points for the specific month. If an ISC buys a minimum of $500 (in a single or multiple transactions), net before tax less warranty and returns in ACDelco Gold and GM Genuine Bearings in line 02, GM Genuine Steering and Drive Systems in line 36, ACDelco Gold and Silver Chassis in line 45, and ACDelco Gold CV Shafts in line 58 from a qualifying Canadian ACDelco Full Line Distributor between April 1, 2024 - April 30, 2024 and May 1, 2024 to May 31, 2024 (an “Eligible Offer Purchase”), such ISC will earn a minimum of one branded ACDelco Around the Wheel Reward, while supplies last, for each Eligible Offer Purchase. ISCs earn one (1) promotion point for every dollar spent on qualifying parts. The points for each month will be earned separately and will be combined at the end of the promotion for the rewards redemption through an online catalogue of merchandise in June 2024. The $500 minimum must be met in each promotion month to qualify for points in that month.

At the end of each month, the Administrator will calculate all eligible purchases and determine the total Around the Wheel points. Once the May promotion is completed, the points total for both months will be combined and the qualifying participating ISC can then redeem for ACDelco branded merchandise (retail value of rewards ranging from $20.00 to $60.00). Merchandise options are provided from an online promotional catalogue. $500 in qualifying purchase dollars will equal 500 reward points for redemption.  Qualifying ISCs will gain access to the online catalogue at the end of the promotion period, starting the third week of June 2024.  If a qualifier does not redeem the promotion points earned at the end of the promotion, the points will be null and void. 

Premiums in the online catalogue require different points but meeting the $500 minimum promotion requirement guarantees something if the ISC redeems before the redemption deadline of July 12, 2024 at 11:59:59 pm EST. Around the Wheel promotion points are valid for a one-time redemption, have no cash value, are non-transferable and are not for resale. If the amount of points redeemed/used is less than the value and threshold of the Around the Wheels points as found in the online catalogue, any unused balance of the Around the Wheels points will be forfeited.  This includes any unused balance from a qualifying ISC that does not redeem by the deadline of July 12, 2024 at 11:59:59 pm EST.
