ELIGIBILITY & ENTRY

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning. To enter, go to http://www.leapbks.com, and download one of the weekly badges (a “Widget”) and place it on your Internet site—e.g., website, blog, or social media site (the "Site"). Then send an email to contests@leapbks.com with your name, your email address, and the Site to which you posted the Widget. Enter as often as you wish, but each entry must include a different Widget or be downloaded to a different Site. The same Widget downloaded more than once to the same Site will be disqualified as a new entry.

Offer void wherever prohibited or restricted by law.

Each entrant in the Contest must be the rightful owner or have authorized use of the Site account that the contestant enters. In the event of a dispute concerning the identity of the winner submitting an entry, the winner will be deemed to be the person in whose name the Site account is opened.
