OFFICIAL RULES
DBV Charleston Super Weekend Getaway Sweepstakes
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.
These Official Rules govern the DBV Charleston Weekend Getaway Sweepstakes ("Sweepstakes"). By entering, each entrant agrees to be bound by these Official Rules and by the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding to the extent permitted by law.
1. SPONSOR
The Sweepstakes is sponsored and administered by:
DBV Enterprises

("Sponsor")
The Sweepstakes is independently conducted by Sponsor.
The Summerville Family YMCA Flowertown Festival, Cooper River Bridge Run, City of Charleston, City of Summerville, airlines, hotels, rental-car companies, social-media platforms, and any other third-party travel or event providers are not sponsors, administrators, or endorsers of this Sweepstakes and have no responsibility for its operation.
2. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY
No purchase, payment, donation, membership, subscription, merchandise purchase, or other financial consideration is required to enter or win.
Purchasing products from the DBV Nation merchandise store, purchasing any other product or service from Sponsor, following Sponsor on social media, subscribing to a paid service, or otherwise spending money with Sponsor does not increase an entrant's chances of winning.
All eligible entrants are permitted only one entry and have the same opportunity to be selected regardless of whether they have ever purchased anything from Sponsor.
3. ELIGIBILITY
The Sweepstakes is open only to individuals who, at the time of entry:
are United States citizens;
are legal residents of one of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia;
are at least twenty-five (25) years of age;
possess valid government-issued identification acceptable for domestic air travel;
possess a valid driver's license acceptable to the rental-car provider; and
are legally eligible under the rental-car provider's requirements to rent and operate the vehicle included with the Prize.
Employees, contractors, agents, representatives, and immediate family or household members of Sponsor who are directly involved in administering the Sweepstakes or selecting the winner are not eligible.
The Sweepstakes is void where prohibited or restricted by law.
4. SWEEPSTAKES PERIOD
The Sweepstakes begins at 12:00 a.m. Central Time on October 19, 2026, and ends at 11:59 p.m. Central Time on December 14, 2026 ("Entry Period").
Entries received before or after the Entry Period are not eligible.
Sponsor's website and associated computer systems will serve as the official timekeeping devices for purposes of determining whether an entry was timely received.
5. HOW TO ENTER
Eligible individuals may enter by completing and submitting the official Sweepstakes entry form located at:
https://thedadbodveteran.com/2027-charleston-super-weekend-giveaway
during the Entry Period.
LIMIT ONE (1) ENTRY PER PERSON FOR THE ENTIRE SWEEPSTAKES PERIOD.
Submitting more than one entry does not increase an entrant's chances of winning.
If Sponsor identifies multiple or duplicate entries submitted by or on behalf of the same individual, the duplicate entries will be deleted or disregarded and only one valid entry for that individual will remain eligible for the drawing.
Duplicate entries will not be treated as additional chances to win.
Entrants may not attempt to circumvent the one-entry-per-person limitation by using multiple email addresses, telephone numbers, mailing addresses, accounts, identities, devices, or other methods.
Automated entries, bot-generated entries, fraudulent entries, entries submitted using false information, or entries submitted through methods designed to circumvent these Official Rules may be disqualified.
No purchase or payment is required to submit an entry.
6. WINNER SELECTION
One (1) potential winner will be selected at random from all eligible entries received during the Entry Period.
The drawing will take place on December 15, 2026.
The odds of winning depend entirely upon the total number of eligible individual entries received after duplicate and ineligible entries have been removed.
Selection as the potential winner does not constitute final confirmation of winning. The potential winner must first satisfy all eligibility, documentation, tax, and acceptance requirements described in these Official Rules.
7. THE PRIZE
One (1) winner will receive a Charleston, South Carolina travel package for travel from April 2, 2027 through April 5, 2027.

Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who Sponsor reasonably determines has attempted to manipulate, interfere with, circumvent, or compromise the legitimate administration of the Sweepstakes.

Additional prohibited conduct includes false information, hacking, tampering, bot activity, automated submission systems, or other attempts to obtain an unfair advantage.
If technical problems, fraud, unauthorized intervention, legal restrictions, or events beyond Sponsor's reasonable control materially impair the administration or integrity of the Sweepstakes, Sponsor may suspend, modify, or terminate the Sweepstakes to the extent permitted by law.
