Official Rules

 

  1. Sponsor & Administrator. The Land & Sea Experience contest (“Contest”) is sponsored and administered by Land & Sea Pets Inc., Trinity, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada (“Sponsor”).

  2. Eligibility. Open to Canadian pet specialty retail stores (independent or franchise) that operate at least one physical retail location in Canada (distributors and online-only sellers are not eligible). Entries must be submitted by an Authorized Store Representative who is of the age of majority in their province/territory and acting on behalf of the store.

  3. Contest Period. Begins Aug 23, 2025 at 12:00 a.m. ET and ends May 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET (the “Contest Period”).

  4. How to Enter.
    4.1 Sales Route (Performance-Based). Each eligible store’s Qualifying Units (i.e., all Land & Sea products) purchased/ordered during the Contest Period will be tallied. Returns/credits and free samples do not count. Sponsor will validate totals using distributor reports and direct invoices.
    4.2 Regional Finalists. At the end of the Contest Period, the Top-10 stores in each region — Québec (QC), Ontario/Maritimes (ON/MAR), and Western Canada (WEST) — by total Qualifying Units will be designated that region’s Finalists.
    4.3 No Purchase Necessary (NPN). An Authorized Store Representative may enter without purchase by submitting one (1) NPN entry per store during the Contest Period via the online form provided on the Contest page (or by mail to the address listed there, postmarked no later than May 25, 2026). On or about June 3, 2026, Sponsor may conduct up to one (1) random selection per region from eligible NPN entries to add one (1) NPN Finalist to that region’s Finalists (maximum 11 Finalists per region). If no eligible NPN entries exist for a region, none will be added.

  5. Winner Selection; Odds. On or about June 7, 2026 (Toronto time), Sponsor will conduct three (3) random draws, one per region, from the Finalists of that region to select one (1) Winner per region (three Winners total). Odds of winning depend on the number of Finalists in the applicable region.

  6. Prize (3 total; ARV up to CAD $5,000 each). Each Winner will receive a trip for two (2) to Trinity, Newfoundland & Labrador, consisting of: round-trip economy air travel from the major Canadian airport nearest the Winner’s store; accommodations (3 nights) (double occupancy); guided local experiences; a visit to the Land & Sea facility; and select meals (collectively, a “Prize”). We will host the Winner and guest and coordinate the itinerary. Conditions: (a) travel must occur in Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 (blackout periods apply; exact dates at Sponsor’s discretion); (b) Winner and guest must travel together on the same itinerary; (c) guest must be of the age of majority; (d) Winner/guest are responsible for costs not expressly included (e.g., ground transfers, baggage fees, incidentals, travel insurance); (e) no substitution or cash equivalent, except Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if unavailable; (f) Prize is non-transferable.

  7. Verification; Skill-Testing Question. Selected Winners are subject to verification of eligibility, compliance with these Rules, and (for Sales Route) confirmation of Finalist status. To be confirmed a Winner, the selected entrant must correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question without assistance.

  8. Notification; Forfeiture. Selected Winners will be notified by email/phone using the contact provided. If a selected Winner (i) fails to respond within five (5) business days, (ii) fails the skill-testing question, (iii) is deemed ineligible, or (iv) declines the Prize, Sponsor may select an alternate from remaining eligible Finalists in the applicable region.

  9. Publicity. By accepting a Prize, each Winner consents to Sponsor’s use of the store name and city/province, and to photo/video/interview content captured during the trip, for promotional purposes in any media without further compensation, where lawful.

  10. Privacy. Personal information is collected and used for Contest administration and prize fulfillment, and as otherwise described on the Contest page.

For Québec residents, consent for the stated purposes is obtained; information will not be used for other purposes without consent, except as permitted by law.

  11. General Conditions. Sponsor may disqualify any participant who tampers with or abuses the entry process, or who violates these Rules. Sponsor is not responsible for lost/late/misdirected entries, technical failures, or typographical/printing errors. If the Contest cannot operate as planned, Sponsor may modify, suspend, or terminate the Contest, subject to applicable law.

  12. Release; Limitation of Liability. By participating, each store releases Sponsor, its distributors, and their respective officers, employees, and agents from any claims or liability arising from participation or Prize use, to the extent permitted by law.
