Only residents of the United States are eligible to participate in the Drawing. Employees of AAOS and their immediate family members, or anyone with whom they are domiciled are not eligible to win and receive a prize. The Drawing is void where prohibited by law and is subject to all federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Any Drawing entries that are prohibited by any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations are null and void. It is the responsibility of the AAOS member to determine whether participation in the Drawing is permitted under the laws applicable of their state of residence.

The winners will be notified by phone, mail and/or e-mail within 72 hours of the Drawing. In the event that the potential winner does not comply with these Rules, or cannot be contacted within 72 hours of being notified, that selection shall be void with no further obligation to that potential winner, and an alternate AAOS member may be selected from the remaining entries.
  6. Prize and Value: The Prize to be awarded in this Drawing is one of ten $100 Mastercard Gift Cards. No cash substitutions or equivalents for the Prize will be permitted.

Federal, state and local taxes on the Prize are solely the responsibility of the winner. The winner may be required to provide AAOS with valid social security number(s) or tax identification number(s) before the Prize will be awarded for tax reporting purposes. An IRS Form 1099 may be issued in the name of the winner for the actual value of the Prize received.
  7. Dates & Deadlines/Anticipated Number of Drawing Entrants: AAOS reserves the right, in addition to those other rights reserved herein, to modify any date(s) or deadline(s) set forth in these Rules or otherwise governing the Drawing.

  12. Miscellaneous: By entering the Drawing, entrants agree to be bound by these Rules and the decisions of AAOS, which are final on all matters relating to the Drawing. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Rules is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. AAOS’s failure to enforce any term of these Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. The Drawing is governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, to the extent permitted by law.
