APP SWIM
In-App Competition — Official Rules & Terms
These Terms apply to all Competitions announced within the App Swim app.
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. MAKING A PURCHASE
WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. ODDS OF WINNING A SWEEPSTAKES DRAWING
DEPEND UPON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE ENTRIES RECEIVED. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR
RESTRICTED BY LAW.
1. About These Terms
These Official Rules and Terms (‘Terms’) govern all Competitions run by App Swim (‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’). The word
‘Competition’ refers collectively to any skill-based contest, sweepstakes drawing, or combination of both, as
announced within the App Swim app. By entering any Competition, you (‘Participant’) agree to be bound by these
Terms in full. If you do not agree, do not enter.
Each Competition will consist of one or both of the following prize structures, as specified in the Competition
announcement:
• Skill-Based Contest: Winners determined by verified in-app score. No element of chance is involved.
• Sweepstakes Drawing: One or more winners selected at random from a pool of eligible entries. No
purchase is necessary to enter. The App Swim app is free to download and free to play. Reaching any
qualifying score threshold requires only time and gameplay — no payment of any kind.
We reserve the right to cancel, modify, or suspend any Competition at any time due to technical failure, fraud, or
circumstances beyond our control, without liability to Participants.
2. Eligibility
To participate in any Competition, you must:
• Be at least 13 years of age. Participants aged 13–17 must have verifiable parental or legal guardian
consent before entering. By entering, the parent or legal guardian confirms they have read and agreed to
these Terms on the minor’s behalf. A minor may not self-consent.
• Have a valid email address on file with App Swim, linked to your leaderboard profile, through which you can
be contacted if you win.
• Be a natural person. Entries submitted by bots, scripts, groups, or any automated means are void.
• Not be located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism.
• Not appear on any US government prohibited or restricted parties list.
• Not be an employee, contractor, officer, director, or immediate family member of an App Swim employee or
contractor.
We reserve the right to verify eligibility at any time and to disqualify any Participant who does not meet these
requirements or who we believe has violated these Terms.3. Competition Structure & Prize Tiers
Each Competition’s prize amounts, prize tiers, eligible game(s), qualifying thresholds, and Competition period will
be announced within the app. These Terms govern the legal and eligibility framework for all Competitions; the
Competition announcement controls the specific prize amounts, score thresholds, and entry ratios for that event.
Skill-Based Contest Prizes
The top-scoring Participants in a designated game during the Competition period are eligible for ranked prizes as
specified in the Competition announcement (e.g., 1st place, 2nd place). Rankings are determined solely by
verified in-app scores at the close of the Competition period. In the event of a tied score, the Participant who
achieved that score first by timestamp will be ranked higher. All decisions by App Swim regarding scores and
rankings are final.
Sweepstakes Drawing Prizes
Competitions may include one or more Sweepstakes Drawings in which winners are selected at random from a
pool of eligible entries. The method of earning entries, qualifying score thresholds (if any), and points-to-entry ratio
(if any) will be stated in the Competition announcement for each event. Odds of winning any Sweepstakes
Drawing depend upon the total number of eligible entries received during the Competition period.
Each Sweepstakes Drawing within a Competition is independent. Participants who have already won a skill-based
prize or a prior Sweepstakes Drawing within the same Competition are excluded from subsequent drawings in that
same Competition, as specified in the Competition announcement. Winners are selected by random draw from all
eligible entries after the Competition period closes.
Entry Limits
The maximum number of entries any single Participant may accumulate per Sweepstakes Drawing per
Competition period will be stated in the Competition announcement. App Swim reserves the right to cap entries
per Participant to ensure fair participation.
4. How to Enter
The App Swim app is free to download and free to play. No purchase is required to participate in any Competition.
To enter a skill-based contest, play the designated game during the Competition period — your score is recorded
automatically. To enter a Sweepstakes Drawing, earn entries through gameplay as described in the Competition
announcement.
Participants are responsible for ensuring their own device, software, and internet connection are functional. We
are not responsible for entries lost due to technical issues on the Participant’s end, network outages, or app
malfunctions beyond our control.
5. Prizes
5.1 Fulfillment
Prizes are fulfilled as described in the Competition announcement. Gift card prizes are delivered electronically to
the email address linked to the winner’s leaderboard profile within 14 days of winner confirmation. For
higher-value prizes — including physical goods (e.g., electronics) or cash equivalents exceeding $100 —
fulfillment may be via PayPal, Venmo, bank transfer, check, or physical shipment at our discretion.5.2 Conditions
• Prizes are awarded ‘as is’ and are non-transferable. Prizes may not be exchanged for cash, except where
required by law.
• We reserve the right to substitute any prize with one of equal or greater value if the stated prize becomes
unavailable.
• Winners are solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes on prizes received.
• For prizes with a combined fair market value of $600 or more received from App Swim in a single calendar
year, winners may be required to provide a valid tax identification number for IRS reporting purposes (Form
1099-MISC).
• Gift cards are subject to the issuing retailer’s own terms and conditions. App Swim is not responsible for
lost, stolen, or expired gift cards after delivery to the winner.
5.3 Large Prize Payouts
For Competitions with a total prize pool exceeding $500, or individual prizes with a fair market value exceeding
$250, winners may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability Release before the prize is
fulfilled. Failure to return required documentation within the specified timeframe will result in forfeiture.
6. Winner Notification & Forfeiture
Winners will be announced within the app and contacted via the email address linked to their App Swim
leaderboard profile. Winners must respond to prize notifications within five (5) calendar days of being contacted. If
a winner does not respond within this window, cannot be reached, is found to be ineligible, or fails to return any
required documentation, that winner forfeits the prize. Up to three alternate winners will be drawn in the same
manner as the original selection. If no eligible winner is confirmed after three alternate selections, the prize will
remain unawarded for that Competition.
App Swim is not responsible for prize notifications that go undelivered due to an invalid, inactive, or unmonitored
email address. It is the Participant’s responsibility to ensure their leaderboard profile email is current and
monitored.
7. Fair Play & Prohibited Conduct
The following will result in immediate disqualification and may result in a permanent ban from future Competitions:
• Use of hacks, cheats, bots, scripts, exploits, or any automated means to achieve scores or generate entries
• Tampering with any Competition mechanic, the app, or any scoring or entry system
• Collusion with other Participants to manipulate rankings or drawing results
• Providing false or misleading information in connection with any entry or prize claim
• Any conduct we determine to be contrary to the spirit of fair competition
We reserve the right to audit scores and entries at any time, including after a winner has been announced. Any
person attempting to defraud App Swim or tamper with the legitimate operation of any Competition may be subject
to civil and/or criminal prosecution. Prizes obtained through prohibited conduct must be returned.
8. DisqualificationWithout limitation, a Participant may be disqualified at App Swim’s sole discretion if the Participant: (i) fails to meet
the eligibility requirements in Section 2; (ii) violates any provision of these Terms; (iii) provides false or misleading
information at any point during the Competition or prize claim process; or (iv) engages in any conduct described in
Section 7.
9. Limitation of Liability

payment processors or gift card issuers solely to deliver your prize. Prizes meeting IRS reporting thresholds may
require disclosure to applicable tax authorities.

parental or guardian consent as described in Section 2. Entries from participants under 13 without confirmed
parental consent will be voided.
