These Official Rules are void where prohibited or restricted by law and are subject to all applicable international, federal, provincial, and local laws, restrictions, prohibitions, and regulations. All employees of the Sponsor and their immediate families (spouse, parent, sibling or child or their respective spouses) or those residing in the same households of employees, whether related or not, are not eligible to enter or to win.

HOW TO ENTER:
During the Entry Period, an eligible entrant may visit http://www.Twitter.com, log on to his or her Twitter account (or create one if he or she does not already have an account), and follow https://twitter.com/CorwinPress (“Sponsor’s Twitter Channel”). Entrant may submit an entry during the Entry Period by participating and submitting a Twitter message on Sponsor’s Twitter chat, “Twitter Chat with Gravity Goldberg” (the “Twitter Chat”), which is created by Sponsor’s Twitter Channel. Each message will count as one entry and entrant may submit only one entry per Twitter message. After the first entry for a particular Twitter message, additional entry submissions will not result in additional entries.
Entrant must have a non-private Twitter account to enter the promotion and must be a follower of the Sponsor’s Twitter Channel for at least fifteen (15) days following the Entry Period (for winner notification purposes) to be eligible to claim the prize. Entrant may only use one (1) Twitter account to enter. Entrants attempting to use multiple Twitter accounts or multiple identities may be disqualified, at Sponsor’s sole discretion.

PRIZE DETAILS:
A total of three (3) prizes will be awarded. The three (3) winners will each receive one (1) book titled “Mindsets & Moves” by Gravity Goldberg valued at no more than Thirty-Five U.S. Dollars ($35.00 USD). The Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, substitute prizes of equal or greater value (including cash) in the event the stated prizes are unavailable. Prizes cannot be substituted, redeemed for cash or transferred except as otherwise provided in these Official Rules. The refusal by an entrant to accept a prize releases and forever discharges the Sponsor of all obligations related to the prize, including delivery, and this promotion. Any costs associated with a prize that are not described in these Official Rules are the responsibility of the winner.
AWARDING OF PRIZE:
A total of three (3) winners will be selected. For each Twitter message, Sponsor will select at random three (3) prize winners from the list of Twitter messages submitted by each user from the Twitter Chat. Winners will be determined in a random drawing from all eligible entries for each Twitter message received during the Entry Period. The random drawing will take place within seven (7) days after the end of the Entry Period. Winners will be notified within seven (7) days of the date of the drawings. Non-winning entries from these drawings will not "roll-over" into drawings held in the future by the Sponsor.
Potential winners may be required to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release and, where legal, a publicity release within fourteen (14) days of prize notification. In the event of noncompliance with this time period, with these Official Rules or if prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
ODDS OF WINNING:
Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period.
