Employees of Rohm and Haas Company, the American Chemical Society, the National Inventor's Hall of Fame ("NIFH"), and their parent and affiliate companies, franchisees, suppliers as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) and household members of each such employee are not eligible. Subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Void where prohibited. Participation constitutes Participant's full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Sponsor's decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. The Promotion consists of a Grand Prize Sweepstakes (the "Grand Prize Sweepstakes") and three (3), separate and distinct Daily Sweepstakes (the "Daily Sweepstakes").

  3. Timing: The Promotion will begin on October 22, 2007 at 12:01a.m. Eastern Standard Time ("EST") and ends on October 27, 2007 at 11:59 p.m. EST (the "Promotion Period"). The Grand Prize Sweepstakes shall run the length of the Promotion Period. The Monday Sweepstakes will begin on October 22, 2007 at 12:01a.m. EST and end on October 22, 2007 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

  4. How to Enter: During the Promotion Period, visit www.facesofchemistry.com, complete the online entry form and submit the form. You automatically will be given one (1) entry into the Grand Prize Sweepstakes. In addition to entry into the Grand Prize Sweepstakes, Participants may submit one (1) entry for each of the Daily Sweepstakes during their respective entry periods.

    Limit: Each participant may enter one (1) time into each of the Daily Sweepstakes, and one (1) time into the Grand Prize Sweepstakes. Participants shall not be given more than one (1) entry into the Grand Prize Sweepstakes, regardless of the number of Daily Sweepstakes entered or entry forms submitted. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that participant's entries and that participant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected registrations, which will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the Participant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential Winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
  5. Grand Prize Sweepstakes: Sponsor will randomly select two (2) potential Grand Prize Sweepstakes Winners from all eligible Grand Prize Sweepstakes entries on or around October 31, 2007. Odds of winning the Grand Prize Sweepstakes depend upon the number of entries.
  6. Daily Sweepstakes: Sponsor shall conduct a separate and distinct Daily Sweepstakes on each of the following days during the Promotion Period: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Daily entries must be submitted between 12:01 a.m. EST and 11:59 p.m. EST on the specified day to be eligible for that Daily Sweepstakes. For each Daily Sweepstakes, the Sponsor shall randomly select a specified number of potential Winners from all eligible entries on or around October 31, 2007. Odds of winning the Daily Sweepstakes depend upon the number of entries. There are no Daily Sweepstakes on October 24 or 26, 2007.
  7. Verification of Potential Winners: Potential Winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all terms and conditions.

Each potential Grand and Daily Prize Winner will be required to sign and return to Sponsor, within ten (10) days of the date notice is sent, an affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release (except where prohibited) in order to claim his/her prize if applicable. If a potential Winner of any prize cannot be contacted, or fails to sign and return the affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release within the required time period (if applicable), potential Winner forfeits prize. In the event that a potential Winner of any prize is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate Winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. There will be three (3) alternate drawings after which the prize will remain unawarded. Prizes will be shipped 8-10 weeks after Winner confirmation.

Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
