The Steam Salien 2018 Giveaway - Participation Rules

These are rules of participation for The Steam Salien 2018 Giveaway (the 'Giveaway'). These rules supplement the terms of the Steam Subscriber Agreement in this context.

The Giveaway will be held on Steam Community during the Steam 2018 Summer Sale from June 21 to July 5, 2018 Pacific time (the 'Giveaway Period').

Valve reserves the right to cancel, terminate or modify the Giveaway if it cannot be operated, conducted or completed as planned.

1. Eligibility

The Giveaway is open to every Steam user over the age of 13 years, in any country where Steam offers games.

Employees and individual contractors of Valve and its subsidiaries and of Steam developers and publishers providing prizes for the Giveaway, as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings, and children, and each of their respective spouses) and household members of each such employee or contractor, are not eligible.

2. Participation

The Giveaway will be available during the 2018 Steam Summer Sale. Standard entry is accomplished by playing the Steam Salien game while logged into a Steam Account that is not limited. Prizes will be awarded for each ‘planet’ completed by all players in the Steam Salien game. Each eligible Steam user who has played at least one battle on a given planet will be included in the drawing. Each entrant’s odds of winning will be determined by the time the entrant plays on the planet, as a fraction of the total time all entrants play on the planet prior to completion. The Steam Saliens game will be available during the Giveaway Period until all planets have been completed.

To manually enter the Giveaway, each eligible entrant must print his or her name, address, city, state, country, postal code, email address, Steam account name (account can be limited or unlimited), and telephone number, as well as the name and date of the Giveaway that the entry is for, on a self-addressed 4”x6” note card and mail the completed form to: Valve Corporation, P.O. Box 1688, Bellevue, WA 98009-1688. Only note cards mailed in envelopes and postmarked during or within twenty-four hours after the Giveaway Period will be accepted. No e-mailed or faxed alternate entries are eligible. Facsimiles, photocopies or mechanical reproductions of entries will be void. Only one alternative entry per person. Proof of sending or submitting a note card is not proof of receipt of such alternate entry. Entries must be received no later than July 14, 2018.

3. Prizes

The nature and the total number of prizes are announced before and during the Giveaway, on the Giveaway page on Steam Community or within the Steam Saliens game itself.

Winners will be selected at random from all participants that have played at least one battle on the planet related to the Giveaway in the Steam Salien game. Each draw will be performed by a random computer process. Odds of winning in the Giveaway depend on the number of entrants, the amount of time each entrant plays on a given planet, and the total number of prizes. Entrants cannot win a game they already own, so if an entrant’s account already owns all of the remaining game prizes available, that entrant will not receive any more prizes.

Prizes for alternative entry via post will be drawn separately within ten business days from the end of the Giveaway Period. The number and selection of prizes for such participants will be assessed prior to the drawing so that a participant’s odds of winning through participating via post are equal. Winners will be announced using their Steam persona name, on the Steam Summer sale event page, ten business days after the end of the Giveaway event.

The prizes are not substitutable, and there are no cash alternatives to the prizes listed.

Decisions of Valve regarding the Giveaway are final and binding. The winners will be notified by private message in their Steam Account mailbox. Prizes will be added to the Steam Accounts of the winners immediately after the winners have been announced.

4. Data Protection

Valve will collect and process the personally identifiable information of the participants that play the Steam Salien game necessary to perform the Giveaway. This will include gameplay data and the time and duration during which the entrant participates in the game. Any data recorded will be used for the conduct of the Steam Salien 2018 Giveaway. Valve’s Privacy Policy applies to each entrant’s use of its Valve Account. For further information click here.
