Submission of erroneous or incomplete information will void the submitted entry. All product reviews should follow these guidelines: Focus on the product and your individual experience using it and provide details about why you liked or disliked the product. All submitted reviews are subject to Samsung’s Terms of Use (available at www.samsung.com/reviewtermsandconditions and incorporated herein by reference) and the review guidelines (available at www.samsung.com/reviewguidelines and incorporated herein by reference). In the event of any conflict between these Official Rules and Samsung’s Terms of Use, the terms and conditions of these Official Rules shall prevail. Samsung reserves the right not to post a review if it contains any of the following types of content or otherwise violates these Official Rules:
(a) obscenities, discriminatory language, or other language not suitable for a public forum.
(b) advertisements, "spam" content, or references to other products, offers, or websites.
(c) e-mail addresses, URLs, phone numbers, physical addresses or other forms of contact information.
(d) critical or spiteful comments on other reviews posted on the page or their authors.
(e) violates any applicable law.
Review must be your own original work. The Sponsor (as defined below) does not guarantee the posting of any review and reserves the right to reject any entry and/or review, in its sole and absolute discretion, on the basis that a submitted entry does not meet the above criteria or is otherwise offensive or inappropriate or is not in keeping with the Sponsor’s image. Online entries must be received by 11:59 PM ET March 31, 2014 to be eligible. Or, (ii) to enter the Sweepstakes via mail without submitting a review of a Samsung product, hand-print on a 3” x 5” card your first and last name, date of birth, street address, city, state, zip code, phone number (including area code) and e-mail address (optional) and send in a stamped #10 envelope with proper postage affixed to: Samsung “Customer Review #61” Sweepstakes, P.O. Box 296, Gainesville, VA 20156. All mail-in entries must be postmarked by March 31, 2014 and received by April 7, 2014 to be eligible. Limit one (1) entry per person, per household and per e-mail address for the duration of the Sweepstakes Period, regardless of how many reviews are submitted and regardless of method of entry. All entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned. If multiple entries are received in excess of the stated limitation from any person or household or e-mail address, regardless of method of entry, only the first such entry received from such person or household or e-mail address will be eligible for entry. No mechanical reproductions or facsimiles of mail-in entries will be accepted and all such entries will be void. Should multiple users of the same e-mail account enter the Sweepstakes and a dispute thereafter arises regarding the identity of the entrant, the authorized account subscriber of said e-mail account at the time of entry will be considered the entrant and required to comply with these Official Rules. “Authorized account subscriber” is defined as the natural person who is assigned an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider or other organization, which is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.
