THE VOICE OF CHOICE PRIVILEGES PANEL INCENTIVE
Guidelines & Terms
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. VOID OUTSIDE THE 50 UNITED STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.
The Voice of Choice Privileges Panel Incentive Program (“Program”) offers Participants an opportunity to receive an Incentive (defined below) when they complete a survey as Choice constantly seeks to improve our Choice Privileges rewards program, our website, and our brands.
These Program Guidelines and Terms (“Terms”) constitute a binding agreement between eligible persons (“Participants”) and Choice Hotels International Services Corp. (“Choice” or “Sponsor”). Therefore, please read these Terms carefully before registering to participate; your registration constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
1. Eligibility: To be eligible for the Program, Participants must: (i) be a legal resident of the fifty (50) United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico or a U.S. territory or possession, (ii) have reached the age of majority in their state of residence and be at least eighteen (18) years old, (iii) have Internet access, (iv) be a member of the Choice Privileges rewards program, and (v) be a currently registered member of the Voice of Choice Privileges Panel.
Receiving the Incentive (defined below) is contingent upon fulfilling all Program requirements. The Program is void outside the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. territories and possessions, and where prohibited by law. Participants are not required to fill out any surveys (but then will receive no Incentive Prize Awards).
2. Sponsor: Choice Hotels International Services Corp., 1 Choice Hotels Circle, Rockville, MD 20850.
3. Incentive Period: The Program ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on December 31, 2025 (the “Incentive Period”). Sponsor’s computer is the official time keeping device for the Program. Participants are responsible for determining the correct beginning and ending times of the Incentive Period in their respective time zones.
4. Incentive Prize Award: During the Incentive Period, Participants will receive 100 Choice Privileges points (the “Incentive”) for each completed Voice of Choice Privileges Panel survey that they timely submit. Participants may only enter one submission per survey. Only complete survey submissions will be accepted. The Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of 100 Choice Privileges points is: $.50. The total ARV of all Choice Privileges points awarded during the Incentive Period will depend on the number of valid survey submissions received.
Incentives may not be substituted, and are neither transferable nor redeemable for cash. However, Sponsor reserves the right to substitute an incentive of equal or greater value. Participants are responsible for all taxes and fees associated with receipt and/or use of Incentives.
Participants are required to have a valid Choice Privileges account to receive Incentives. Allow 6-8 weeks after submitting the completed survey for Incentive points to post to your Choice Privileges account.
5. Consent and Release: By receipt of any Incentive, Participant agrees to release and hold harmless the Sponsor, and any party associated with the development or administration of this Incentive, and their parent, subsidiary, and affiliated entities, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “Released Parties”), from any and all liability whatsoever in connection with this Incentive, including without limitation legal claims, costs including but not limited to travel expenses, injuries, losses or damages, demands or actions of any kind (including without limitation personal injuries, death, damage to, loss or destruction or property, rights of publicity or privacy, defamation, or portrayal in a false light) (collectively, “Claims”). Entry into the Incentive constitutes the consent of the Participant, without further compensation, to use his/her name, likeness, biographical data, and contact information for editorial, advertising, marketing, publicity, and administrative purposes by the Sponsor and/or others authorized by the Sponsor; and acceptance of an Incentive Award or Prize constitutes a release by any Participant of the Released Parties of any and all Claims in connection with the administration of this Incentive and the use, misuse, or possession of any Incentive Prize Award.
6. General Conditions: Sponsor may modify or terminate the Program at any time. Sponsor also reserves the right to terminate any Participant at any time. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Incentive may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies (including attorneys’ fees) from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any part of the Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision. All interpretations of these Terms and decisions by Sponsor are final.
7. Limitations of Liability: Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by Sponsor, printing, typographical or other errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Incentive; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Incentive; (4) printing, typographical, technical, computer, network or human error which may occur in the administration of the Incentive, the announcement of the Incentives or in any Incentive-related materials; (5) late, lost, undeliverable, damaged or stolen mail; or (6) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Participant’s involvement in the Incentive or receipt or use or misuse of any Incentive (including any travel/activity related thereto). Released Parties are not responsible for misdirected or undeliverable submissions or for any technical problems, malfunctions of computer systems, servers, providers, hardware/software, lost or unavailable network connections or failed, incomplete, garbled or delayed computer transmission or any combination thereof. The value(s) of the Incentive(s) set forth above represent Sponsor’s good faith determination of the approximate retail value(s) thereof; the actual fair market value(s) as ultimately determined by Sponsor are final and binding and cannot be challenged or appealed. In the event the stated approximate retail value(s) of an Incentive is more than the actual fair market value of that Incentive, the difference will not be awarded in cash or otherwise. No substitution or compensation will be given for any portion of the Incentive that is not used. RELEASED PARTIES MAKE NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN FACT OR IN LAW, IN REGARD TO THIS INCENTIVE OR THE MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE REGARDING ANY INCENTIVE OR ANY COMPONENT OF ANY INCENTIVE. (vi) CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT BY AN PARTICIPANT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS INCENTIVE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THIS INCENTIVE MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS, AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK REMEDIES AND DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ATTORNEYS’ FEES) FROM ANY SUCH PARTICIPANT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, INCLUDING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.
