thredUP Loyalty Rewards Sweepstakes 2021 OFFICIAL RULES (“OFFICIAL RULES”)

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF MONEY IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN THIS SWEEPSTAKES. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF MONEY WILL NOT IMPROVE THE CHANCES OF WINNING.  

SPONSOR/ADMINISTRATOR: The Sweepstakes is sponsored and administered by ThredUp Inc. 969 Broadway, Suite 200, Oakland, California 94607 (collectively, the “Sponsor”). 

AGREEMENT TO RULES: By participating, Entrants agree to abide by and be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. Winning the Prize (as defined below) is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. Entrant represents and warrants that they meet the eligibility requirements set forth herein. Non-eligibility or non-compliance with any of these Official Rules will result in disqualification. In addition, Entrant agrees to accept the decisions of the Sponsor, as final and binding as it relates to the content. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws. Winning the Prize (as defined below) is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, any references in these Rules to Entrants shall also include the Entrant who is deemed the Winner (as defined below)). 

ELIGIBILITY: The Sweepstakes is open to legal U.S. residents residing in the fifty (50) United States (including the District of Columbia) who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of majority, whichever is older, in their respective states of permanent residence as of August 26, 2021 (the “Entrants”). Employees, officers and representatives of the Sponsor, their respective parent companies, employees, officers, directors, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, sales representatives and advertising and promotional agencies, and the officers, directors, agents, and employees of each of the foregoing, and members of their immediate families (defined as including spouse, biological, adoptive and step-parents, grandparents, siblings, children and grandchildren, and each of their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside) or households (whether related or not) of any of the above (collectively, the “Released Parties”) are NOT eligible to participate in this Sweepstakes. Void in Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, and where prohibited or restricted by law

SWEEPSTAKES PERIOD: Sweepstakes offer will begin at 12:00:00 AM Pacific Time on August 26, 2021 and will end at 11:59:59 PM Pacific Time September 9, 2021 (the “Sweepstakes Period”). Sponsor’s computer clock is the official timekeeping device in the Sweepstakes. If Sponsor discovers any use of the fraudulent methods or otherwise attempts to circumvent the rules by the Entrant, the Entrant will be disqualified.

HOW TO ENTER: Two (2) methods of entry are as follows:

  1. Point Redemption: On or about August 26, 2021, Sponsor will give eligible thredUP rewards account holders (i.e, account holder who has made a purchase with thredUP) the opportunity to enter into the Sweepstakes using points they have accrued in 100 or 1000 point increments. If a thredUP account holder has 100 points in their account they can choose to redeem their points for one entry by logging into their thredUP account, navigating to their rewards page, and selecting a “Redeem Points” icon on a Redemption card (Exhibit A) for a 100 point sweepstakes entry and then following the prompt to complete the redemption. If the account holder has more than 100 points after they redeem points for an entry, they can continue to redeem their points in 100 point increments until they have less than 100 points. Those with 1000 rewards points or more will have the option of entering the 100 point entry sweepstakes or 1000 point entry sweepstakes.  To redeem a 1000 point entry, thredUP account holders will follow the same process as they would when submitting a 100 point entry, but instead of selecting the card for 100 point redemption entry, they will select the 1000 point entry redemption option. If an account holder has enough points to submit multiple entries, they can continue to submit entries until their balance is below 100 points.
