Course Report Review Sweepstakes – Official Rules

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. OPEN ONLY TO LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE 50 UNITED STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA WHO ARE 18 OR OLDER. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

YOUR REVIEW MAY BE POSITIVE, NEGATIVE OR MIXED. THE RATING AND CONTENT OF YOUR REVIEW HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR ELIGIBILITY, YOUR ENTRY OR YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

1. Eligibility

The Course Report Review Sweepstakes (the "Sweepstakes") is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry. The following people are not eligible: employees, officers and directors of Course Guide Inc. ("Sponsor"), its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, and advertising and promotion agencies; employees, officers, directors and owners of any school, bootcamp or training provider listed on the Course Report website; and the immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling and their respective spouses) and household members of each of these people, whether or not related. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Void where prohibited.

2. Agreement to Rules

By entering, you agree to be fully and unconditionally bound by these Official Rules and by Sponsor's decisions, which are final and binding on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. By entering, you also represent that you meet all eligibility requirements.

3. Sweepstakes Period

The Sweepstakes begins at 3:00:00 p.m. Eastern Time ("ET") on November 12, 2026 and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. ET on December 31, 2026 (the "Sweepstakes Period"). Sponsor's computer is the official timekeeping device for the Sweepstakes.

4. How to Enter

During the Sweepstakes Period, go to coursereport.com and submit a review of a school, bootcamp or program you attended. Check the box indicating that you want to enter the Sweepstakes, and provide a valid email address. Each review that you submit with the box checked, and that is published under Course Report's Review Guidelines, earns one (1) entry.

A review of any rating or sentiment, positive, negative or mixed, earns the same single entry. Course Report does not consider a review's rating or sentiment when deciding whether to publish it. A review that is not published because it violates the Review Guidelines (for example, because it is spam, a duplicate, abusive, or not based on the reviewer's own experience) is not an eligible entry. The Review Guidelines are available at https://www.coursereport.com/write-a-review.

Limit: one (1) entry per person during the Sweepstakes Period, regardless of the number of reviews submitted. Entries made with multiple email addresses, identities or accounts, or by automated means, are void. Entries that are incomplete, illegible, or not in compliance with these Official Rules may be disqualified at Sponsor's sole discretion.

5. Prize

One (1) winner will receive one (1) $500 Amazon.com Gift Card (approximate retail value: $500). The prize is not transferable. No substitution or cash equivalent is allowed, except that Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the prize becomes unavailable. The winner is solely responsible for all applicable federal, state and local taxes and for any other expenses related to the prize.

GCs cannot be reloaded, resold, transferred for value, redeemed for cash or applied to any other account. Amazon is not responsible if a GC is lost, stolen, destroyed or used without permission.

6. Odds

The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.

7. Winner Selection and Notification

Within ten (10) days after the Sweepstakes Period ends, Sponsor will select one (1) potential winner in a random drawing from all eligible entries. Sponsor will notify the potential winner by email at the address provided with the entry. The potential winner must reply and confirm eligibility within seven (7) days after notification is sent. Sponsor may require the potential winner to sign a declaration of eligibility.

If a potential winner does not respond in time, cannot be contacted, is found ineligible, or does not comply with these Official Rules, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be selected at random from the remaining eligible entries. Sponsor is not responsible for notices that are not received because of spam filters, security settings, or incorrect or non-working contact information. The prize will be delivered by email within approximately 30 days after the winner is confirmed.

8. Publicity and Use of Reviews

Except where prohibited by law, the winner agrees that Sponsor may use the winner's first name, last initial, city and state to announce the winner, without further compensation. Entrants' published reviews remain subject to Course Report's Terms of Use. If Sponsor uses an entrant's review in advertising or promotional materials, Sponsor will disclose that the reviewer was entered into this Sweepstakes.

9. General Conditions

Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, modify or suspend the Sweepstakes if fraud, technical failures, or any other factor beyond Sponsor's reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes. In that case, Sponsor may award the prize in a random drawing from eligible entries received before the cancellation, modification or suspension. Sponsor may disqualify any person who tampers with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes, uses bots, scripts or other automated means, submits a review not based on that person's own experience, or otherwise violates these Official Rules. Entering the Sweepstakes does not subscribe you to any Course Report newsletter or marketing email.

CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES MAY VIOLATE CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. IF SUCH AN ATTEMPT IS MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10. Release and Limitation of Liability

By entering, you agree to release and hold harmless Sponsor and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising and promotion agencies, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (the "Released Parties") from any liability, claim, loss or damage arising from (i) your participation in the Sweepstakes or your acceptance, possession, use or misuse of the prize; (ii) technical failures of any kind, including malfunctions of any computer, network, hardware or software; (iii) unauthorized human intervention in the entry process or the Sweepstakes; or (iv) electronic or human error in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing of entries.
