HOW TO PARTICIPATE
During the Challenge Period, each Brokerage will be assigned to a category according to its volume of

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
7.
To be declared a winner, each Brokerage selected for a prize must, through its authorized representative:
a) be able to be contacted by telephone by the Organizer within five (5) days of the date the winners are
determined;
b) complete and sign a Declaration and Liability Waiver Form (the "Waiver") that will be sent by the
Organizer, and return it to the Organizer within ten (10) days of its receipt.
8.
If a selected Brokerage fails to meet one of the above conditions or any other condition provided for in
these rules, it will be disqualified and, time permitting, a new winning Brokerage may be determined in
accordance with these rules until such time as a Brokerage is selected and declared the winner.
9.
Within five (5) days of receiving the Waiver duly completed and signed by the authorized representative,
the Organizer will send an e-mail to the authorized representative of any winner to explain the procedure
for claiming the prize.
10. Mortgage referrals and Waivers are subject to verification by the Organizer. Any referral or Waiver that is
incomplete, fraudulent or late, does not allow the Organizer to identify the Brokerage or real estate broker,
or is otherwise not in compliance with these rules, will be rejected, in which case it will not qualify,
depending on the case, as an entry or for a prize.
11. All decisions by the Organizer or its representatives regarding the Challenge are final and without appeal,
subject to any decision by the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux du Québec, for Quebec
residents, on any matter over which it has jurisdiction.
12. The Organizer reserves the right to disqualify any Brokerage or cancel one or more mortgage referrals of
any Brokerage or real estate broker in such Brokerage who enters or attempts to enter the Challenge in a
manner that is contrary to these rules or that is unfair to the other participants. Said Brokerage or real
estate broker may be referred to the competent judicial authorities.
13. The prizes must be accepted as described in these rules and may not be transferred to another Brokerage,
substituted for another prize or exchanged in whole or in part for cash, subject to these rules.
14. In the event that, for reasons not related to the winner, the Organizer is unable to award a prize or a portion
thereof as described in these rules, the Organizer reserves the right to award another prize or a portion
thereof of a similar nature and of equal value or, at its sole discretion, to award the cash value of a prize
indicated in these rules.
15. The selected Brokerages hold the Organizer, its advertising and promotion agencies, their employees,
agents, mandataries and representatives harmless from any and all liability for any damage they may incur
as a result of the acceptance or use of the prize, notably any tax impact. In order to be declared a winner
and prior to receiving the prize, each selected Brokerage undertakes, through its authorized representative,
to sign the Waiver to that effect. The Waiver must also be signed by all real estate brokers in the Brokerage
so that they may take part in the proposed activity.
6
Some exceptions may apply.
16. All selected Brokerages acknowledge that as of receipt of the letter confirming their prize, the performance
of the services related to the prize will become the sole and complete responsibility of the various service or
prize providers. To be declared a winner and prior to taking possession of the prize, each selected
Brokerage undertakes to sign a declaration to that effect contained in the Waiver.
17. Subject to approval, if required, from the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux du Québec, for
residents of Quebec, the Organizer reserves the right at all times, at its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate,
modify or suspend the Challenge, in whole or in part, if any event or human intervention occurs that could
corrupt or affect the administration, security, impartiality or conduct of the Challenge as provided for in
these rules. Under no circumstances may the Organizer, its subsidiaries, advertising and promotion
agencies, suppliers of prizes, materials and services related to the Challenge, as well as their employees,
agents, mandataries and representatives be required to award more prizes than provided for in these rules
or to award prizes otherwise than in accordance with these rules.
18. The Organizer, its advertising and promotion agencies, as well as their respective employees, agents,
mandataries and representatives may not be held liable for any malfunction of any computer hardware,
software or communication line resulting in the loss or lack of network connection or any faulty, incomplete,
incomprehensible or deleted transmission by any computer or network that could limit or prevent any
person from entering the Challenge. Furthermore, the Organizer, its advertising and promotion agencies,
employees, agents, mandataries and representatives may not be held liable for any damage or loss that
may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as a result of downloading an Internet page or
software or transmitting information for the purposes of participating in the Challenge.
19. By entering the Challenge, the winning Brokerages, through their authorized representatives and real
estate brokers, authorize the Organizer and its representatives to use, if required, their name, photograph,
likeness, logo, statements about the prize, place of residence or voice for advertising purposes, without
compensation of any kind. A declaration to that effect will be contained in the Waiver, which must also be
signed by any real estate broker who wishes to take part in the activity.
20. By participating or attempting to participate in the Challenge, all Brokerages, through their authorized
representatives, as well as their real estate brokers agree to release the Organizer, its subsidiaries,
advertising and promotion agencies, employees, agents, mandataries and representatives from any and all
liability for any damage they may incur due to their participation or attempted participation in the Challenge.
21. Mortgage referrals and Waivers become the property of the Organizer and will under no circumstances be
given or returned to participating Brokerages.
22. Except for the Brokerages selected to receive a prize, there will be no communication with Brokerages.
23. For Quebec residents, any dispute respecting the conduct or organization of a publicity contest may be
submitted to the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux du Québec for a ruling. Any dispute respecting
the awarding of a prize may be submitted to the Régie solely for the purpose of helping the parties reach a
settlement.
24. By entering the Challenge, the Brokerages authorize the Organizer to use their business information
entered on the mortgage referrals, as necessary, for Challenge registration purposes.
25. For the purposes of these rules, the participating Brokerage is the Brokerage whose name appears on the
mortgage referrals. The prize will be remitted to that Brokerage, if it is selected and declared a winner.
26. In the event of discrepancies between the English and French versions of these rules, the French version
shall prevail.
