General Conditions Regarding Entering: Entry is only by the method described above, which requires the creation of a BLOKPAX account. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and may result in disqualification. BLOKPAX is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected registrations, which will be disqualified. Potential winners may be required to provide personally-identifying information for purposes of reporting to tax or regulatory authorities. The information you provide will be used only to administer the Sweepstakes.

5. The Prizes

There are twelve (12) prizes in this Sweepstakes, listed in the Appendix to these Rules. Each is a sports memorabilia card. The value of each card is subjectively determined by the markets for that card. Those markets are not completely transparent; and the values of sports memorabilia cards change very significantly over time, including over short periods of time such as the Sweepstakes Period. Based on the most recent publicized transactions of which it is aware, and without representing this information either as true current value or as an approximation thereof, BLOKPAX (at the time of preparing these Rules on September 14, 2021) estimates the value of the twelve (12) prize cards to be Thirteen Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Nine ($13,489 USD), but recognizes and cautions that the actual value may be more or less than that estimate.

6. The Odds of Winning

There are twelve (12) prize cards, each of which will be the prize in a particular Card Contest, as defined in Section 8 below. Each 2021 Free Pax Razz Token will be an entry in one particular Card Contest, and there will be 2,048 2021 Free Pax Razz Tokens in each Card Contest. Thus, each 2021 Free Pax Razz Token has a 1 in 12 chance of being in any particular Card Contest, and, once in a particular Card Contest, a 1 in 2,048 chance of winning the prize card associated with that particular Card Contest.

7. The Reveal

There will be 2,048 2021 Free Pax Razz Tokens associated with each particular prize card. Upon acquisition by a Sweepstakes entrant of a 2021 Free Pax Razz Token in his or her cryptocurrency wallet, that entrant will be able to “break open” the 2021 Free Pax Pack and reveal for the first time which particular one of the twelve (12) prize cards is associated with that particular 2021 Free Pax Razz Token. Any 2021 Free Pax Pack that has not been opened by prior to the first Elimination Round (as defined below) will be automatically revealed at that time in the 2021 Free Pax Razz Token holder’s BLOKPAX account or cryptocurrency wallet, as applicable.

8. Random Winner Selection

Selection of the winning 2021 Free Pax Razz Token for each card will occur separately but simultaneously for each card, in the following manner.

Each 2021 Free Pax Razz Token represents an entry in a contest (a “Card Contest”) for a chance to win a non-fungible token (a “Vault Token”) redeemable for a specific one of the twelve (12) prize sports memorabilia cards. Each Card Contest relates to only one card; and each 2021 Free Pax Razz Token participates in only one Card Contest.

Each Card Contest will have eleven (11) elimination rounds (the “Elimination Rounds”). In each Elimination Round, one-half of the 2021 Free Pax Razz Tokens that were still in the Card Contest before that Elimination Round will be randomly selected by computer algorithm, and will no longer be eligible to win the contest. Elimination Rounds will continue until there is only a single 2021 Free Pax Razz Token that has not been eliminated in that Card Contest (the “Contest Winning Razz Token”). In that process, immediately and automatically upon elimination of particular 2021 Free Pax Razz Tokens from a Card Contest, the metadata on that 2021 Free Pax Razz Token will be updated to show that it has been eliminated from the Card Contest. For the sake of clarity, 2021 Free Pax Razz Tokens that have not been acquired by a dealer, a purchaser, or a free entrant and that are still held by BLOKPAX are included in the Elimination Rounds process.

The Elimination Rounds will occur on the following dates and at the following times, all of which are Eastern Time.

Elimination Round Date Time 2021 Free Pax Razz Tokens still in Card Contest at End of Round
1 October 20, 2021 4:00 PM 1024

10 October 27, 2021 2:00 PM 2
11 October 27, 2021 4:00 PM 1 (the contest winning RAZZ token)

9. Prize Award

The cryptocurrency wallet that contains, at the time of completion of a Championship Round, a Contest Winning Razz Token will have automatically deposited to that wallet a new non-fungible token (a “Vault Token”).

The Vault Token confers upon the holder a right of redemption for the underlying physical asset (the specific prize card associated with the specific Card Contest for which the Vault Token is awarded), and that holder may redeem the Vault Token and receive delivery of the specific card at any time, upon condition of the holder first providing any information required for tax or regulatory reporting, including any Social Security number required for Form 1099 or similar purposes. When the underlying physical asset has been redeemed, the Vault Token will be removed from circulation and will cease to have any rights. If the owner of the Vault Token sells, transfers, gives away, or otherwise grants ownership of the Token to a third party before the owner redeems it for the underlying physical asset, the right of redemption will pass to the third party.

In the event that the Contest Winning Razz Token has not been acquired by either a dealer, a purchaser, or a free entrant and is still held by BLOKPAX, the Vault Token will be deposited into the cryptocurrency wallet that held the last 2021 Free Pax Razz Token to be eliminated in the Elimination Rounds which had not accepted a Cash Payment Alternative under Section 10 below. If there is more than one such Token eliminated in the same Elimination Round, then BLOKPAX will conduct a random drawing from among those Tokens to determine a winner; and the Vault Token will be deposited into the wallet of that winner.

10. Storage/Bailment of Prize Cards

BLOKPAX will provide, without charge, storage of and insurance on the associated sports memorabilia card in an amount to be determined solely by BLOKPAX (such amount to be disclosed to the Vault Token holder following the Championship Elimination Round) on the prize card associated with that Vault Token for a period of 36 months following the Championship Elimination Round. After that initial storage period, BLOKPAX may offer such services pursuant to contract between BLOKPAX and the owner of the Vault Token. The terms of any such contract offered by BLOKPAX, including pricing therefor, will be posted on http://www.blokpax.com and may be modified by BLOKPAX from time to time.

11. Transferability of Tokens; Royalties to BLOKPAX

2021 Free Pax Razz Tokens may be transferred in any manner in which non-fungible tokens may be transferred, but only until the first Elimination Round. Immediately prior to the first Elimination Round, transferability of 2021 Free Pax Razz Tokens will terminate. BLOKPAX will receive no royalty on transfers of 2021 Free Pax Razz Tokens.

Vault Tokens may be transferred in any manner in which non-fungible tokens may be transferred, at any time. Any transfer of a Vault Token that occurs during the ninety (90) days following the Championship Elimination Round will result in an automatic transfer to BLOKPAX of a royalty, calculated as ten per cent (10%) of the consideration paid for the Vault Token in the transfer. Transfers of the Vault Token after that time will also result in an automatic transfer to BLOKPAX of a royalty, calculated as a percentage of the consideration paid for the Vault Token in the transfer, such percentage to be established and modified from time to time by BLOKPAX. The percentage applicable at any time following the initial ninety-day period will be posted on http://www.blokpax.com.

12. Notification and Verification of Card Contest Winner

BLOKPAX, immediately after the Championship Elimination Round, will cause the metadata of the Contest Winning Razz Token to be updated to show that it was the winning 2021 Free Pax Razz Token. At that time, the Vault Token will be deposited into the cryptocurrency wallet that contains the Contest Winning Razz Token and will be publicly visible in the blockchain data to the same extent and in the same manner as other tokens in cryptocurrency wallets are publicly visible. BLOKPAX will also, not later than one (1) business day following the completion of the Championship Elimination Round, send an email to the entrant who originally acquired the Contest Winning Razz Token in the 2021 Free Pax contest of that fact, using the email address associated with that entrant’s BLOKPAX account; however, sending and receipt of that email will not confer any rights on that original entrant if he or she has transferred the Contest Winning Razz Token or Vault Token either before the first Elimination Round or after the Championship Elimination Round; nor will it confer any rights on that original entrant if he or she no longer has access to the cryptocurrency wallet in which the Vault Token resides. BLOKPAX may in its discretion and as a courtesy take additional steps to determine and notify a Vault Token holder; but due to the inherent anonymity of cryptocurrency wallets, BLOKPAX has no certain way of contacting the owner of a Vault Token stored in a cryptocurrency wallet not developed or administered by BLOKPAX is under no obligation to do so. IT WILL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH 2021 FREE PAX RAZZ HOLDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER HE OR SHE HELD THE CONTEST WINNING RAZZ AND HAS RECEIVED THE VAULT TOKEN.

ALL VAULT TOKEN HOLDERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY BLOKPAX WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES.

13. POSSIBLE FORFEITURE OF PRIZE BY WINNER

If a Vault Token holder who has not redeemed that Token for the prize card fails to maintain a contract with BLOKPAX for storage pursuant to Section 11 above then that Vault Token will lose all rights associated with the prize card; and BLOKPAX will cause the metadata associated with that Vault Token to be modified to reflect that loss of rights. If that occurs, BLOKPAX will, within ninety (90) days of the expiration of the previous storage arrangement, make arrangements on the Vault Token owner’s behalf to sell the forfeited prize card in a public auction of BLOKPAX’s design or choosing, and, after retaining twenty percent (20%) of the auction sales proceeds for expenses, for administrative costs, and as auction commission, will deposit eighty percent (80%) of the auction sales proceeds in ETH into the cryptocurrency wallet then holding the Vault Token.

14. Tax Responsibility

The owner or owners of a Vault Token will be responsible for all taxes levied by any jurisdiction on the receipt, ownership, transfer, or profit from the Vault Token or the associated prize card; and the recipient of any alternative cash payment will be responsible for all taxes levied by any jurisdiction thereon. At any time that any jurisdiction seeks to impose tax liability on BLOKPAX with respect to an unredeemed Vault Token or prize card, BLOKPAX shall have a lien on the prize card for the full amount of any such taxes for which it is found liable; and acquisition of a 2021 Free Pax Razz Token or a Vault Token by any person will constitute that person’s consent to that Lien.

15. Release
