Astronomics 40th Anniversary AT102ED Giveaway

It has been a fantastic journey for my family over the past 40 years.  I remember loading up in the family Volkswagen back in 1979 and taking a trip out to California to establish our dealership agreements with Meade and Celestron.  It was a leap of faith as we were only the 2nd mail-order telescope retailer in the country at the time, but we are still here.  Not only are we still here, but we are the oldest mail-order telescope specialty retailer that has stayed under the ownership of one family.  We are fortunate to have served hundreds of thousands of astronomers over the years.  To celebrate our 40th anniversary we are giving away Three $599 Astro-Tech 102ED refractors.  Just read below how to enter the contest and best of luck.

Thank you again for your support over the past 40 years.

No Purchase Necessary. Void where prohibited, including all states requiring registration.

Please read the line items below.

1.  You will need to register on the site.  If you already registered, you will need a new password as we cleared all them when we brought the new site online.  

2.  Why do you need to register?  Because, to win one of the three AT102EDs all you need to do is leave a review of any product we have on our site.  You did not have to buy the product from us to write a review.  We just want your input on the products for everyone to benefit from.  If you don't register we can't find you to send you an AT102ED if your review is selected by random by the computer.

3.  You can leave as many reviews as you would like.  There is no limit, go nuts.  However, it needs to be more than just a star review.  We would like a few sentences.  We don't expect a novel by any means.  Just a few words of meaningful input for others to make a judgement off of. 

4.  The giveaway runs from today until October 31, 2019.

All The Rules.

You may enter reviews as many times as you wish during the promotional period. The Sponsor reserves the right to modify the Sweepstakes rules to address special offers, as developed by the sponsor. The Sponsor will attempt, to the best of its ability, to eliminate multiple reviews of the same product by one reviewer. Any attempt by any person to obtain multiple entries by using multiple/different email accounts or any other methods may void all of that person's entries and that person may be disqualified. No responsibility is assumed for lost, late, incomplete, stolen, misdirected, or illegible entries or email; or for any computer, telephone, cable, network, electronic or Internet hardware or software malfunctions, failures, connections, availability or garbled or jumbled transmissions, service provider/Internet/web site/use net accessibility or availability, traffic congestion, any technical error, or unauthorized human intervention, or the incorrect or inaccurate capture of entry or other information, or the failure to capture any such information.

4. PRIZE/ODDS

The approximate retail value is not meant to guarantee the winner, winner's spouse, or inheritors any specific cash value of the award, and no cash alternative is offered. Any expense not specified is the sole responsibility of the winner. WINNER MUST COOPERATE WITH THE SPONSOR'S PROCEDURE FOR REDEMPTION, AND ANY COSTS WHICH EXCEED THE STATED AWARD ALLOWANCE ARE THE WINNER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY. Other restrictions on the award may apply and are subject to change. If winner cannot accept the entire prize as stated, the prize will be forfeited and awarded to the next random winner. Actual value depends on many factors only partially explained, and difference between actual value and stated value will not be awarded. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. Taxes are the sole responsibility of winner, and the winner must supply all information required by the Sponsor for compliance with applicable tax laws prior to release of any and all prize installments. The Sponsor may at any point elect to make a cash payment to the winner for the expected net present value of the award. In this case, the cash payment would be calculated using standard techniques for net present value and a cash vs. merchandise discount of 55% of the retail price of the remaining goods to be given away.
