Tidehouse Anniversary Sweepstakes

NO INTRODUCTION OR PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. AN INTRODUCTION OR PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

1. Sponsor

The Tidehouse IFA Travel Giveaway (the “Giveaway”) is sponsored by 919 Marketing Company LLC, doing business as Tidehouse, a North Carolina limited liability company with address at 644 Holly Springs Rd. Suite 311 Holly Springs, NC 27540 (“Sponsor”).

2. Eligibility

The Giveaway is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are at least 21 years old at the time of entry. Employees, officers and directors of Sponsor and its affiliates, anyone involved in administering the Giveaway, and the immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling and their spouses) and household members of each are not eligible. The Giveaway is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and is void where prohibited. Entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned.

3. Giveaway Period

The Giveaway begins on October 9, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) and ends on December 15, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET (the “Giveaway Period”). Sponsor’s computer is the official timekeeping device.

4. How to Enter

To enter, visit https://tidehouseagency.com/blog/tidehouse-one-year-30-years and complete the entry form with your name, email address and company. Adding an introduction (the name, email address and company of a business contact you believe could benefit from talking with Sponsor) is optional. Each complete entry form earns one (1) entry, whether or not it includes an introduction, and including an introduction does not increase your chances of winning. Each entry form must be submitted separately.

No entry limit. There is no limit on the number of entries a person may submit.

If you include an introduction, you must have your contact’s permission to share their name and contact information with Sponsor. Your entry does not depend on whether your contact responds to Sponsor, meets with Sponsor, or becomes a client of Sponsor.

Entries made by automated means, scripts or bots are void. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, misdirected or unreadable entries.

5. Winner Selection and Odds

One (1) potential winner will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Giveaway Period, conducted on or about December 17, 2026 by Sponsor, supervised and certified by a responsible officer(s) of Sponsor, whose decisions are final. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.

6. Winner Notification

The potential winner will be notified by email on or about December 18, 2026. The potential winner must reply within five (5) days of the notification email and, within seven (7) days of notification, return a signed declaration of eligibility and liability release, and IRS Form W-9. If the potential winner does not respond or return these documents in time, cannot be reached, is found ineligible, or cannot travel on the prize dates, the prize will be forfeited and Sponsor may select an alternate winner from the remaining eligible entries.

7. Prize

One (1) prize will be awarded, consisting of:

one (1) round-trip, economy-class airline ticket for the winner, on the winner’s preferred airline, between a major commercial airport in the United States near the winner’s home and Las Vegas, Nevada; and

three (3) nights in one (1) standard hotel room in the IFA Annual Convention hotel room block (room rate, room taxes and any mandatory resort fees), with check-in on or about February 21, 2027 and check-out on or about February 24, 2027, timed to the IFA Annual Convention, February 22 to 24, 2027.

Approximate retail value (ARV): $1,500. Sponsor will spend no more than $1,500 in total on the prize. Actual value may vary with departure city, airline and fares; any amount above $1,500 is the winner’s responsibility, and any difference between the ARV and the actual value will not be awarded.

Not included: registration for the IFA Annual Convention or any related event fees; ground transportation; meals and beverages; checked bag fees; travel insurance; incidentals; and all other costs not listed above. The winner must register for the convention separately and at their own expense. Sponsor makes no promise that the winner will be admitted to the convention. The hotel may require a credit card at check-in for incidentals.

Travel conditions. Sponsor will make all flight and hotel arrangements, subject to availability in the IFA room block and on the winner’s preferred airline. If either is unavailable, Sponsor will book a comparable hotel or airline within the $1,500 cap. Travel dates are fixed. The prize cannot be transferred, exchanged or redeemed for cash. If the winner cannot travel on the prize dates, the prize is forfeited and no substitute or compensation will be provided. Sponsor may substitute a prize, or part of a prize, of equal or greater value if any part becomes unavailable. If the IFA Annual Convention is canceled, postponed or moved, Sponsor may, at its option, provide travel to the rescheduled event or award a substitute prize worth up to $1,500.

8. Taxes

The winner is solely responsible for all federal, state and local taxes on the prize. If the ARV is $600 or more, Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099 to the winner for the ARV of the prize.

9. Employer Policies

Sponsor does not require approval from the winner’s employer. The winner is responsible for making sure that accepting the prize is consistent with any gift or ethics policies that apply to them.

10. Publicity

Sponsor will not use the winner’s name, company or likeness in any publicity or promotional materials.

11. General Conditions

Sponsor may disqualify anyone who tampers with the entry process or breaks these Official Rules. If the Giveaway cannot run as planned because of fraud, technical failure or any other cause beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control, Sponsor may cancel, suspend or modify it and, if cancelled, may award the prize by random drawing from eligible entries received before the cancellation. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these rules is not a waiver of that term.

12. Release and Limitation of Liability

By entering, entrants agree to release and hold harmless Sponsor and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from any claims, losses or damages arising from participation in the Giveaway or from acceptance, travel related to, or use of the prize. Sponsor is not responsible for flight delays or cancellations, hotel issues, or any other travel disruption.
