Giveaway Policy
Giveaways are occasionally posted here on MamaBuzz. Each giveaway is usually run for a period of 3 weeks or less, according to Mel’s discretion. Winners are selected via random.org and contacted via email; once chosen, they are also announced in the comments of said giveaway and announced at the beginning of said giveaway post. Once contacted, giveaway winners have up to 72 hours to respond to Mel’s email; if they do not respond within that timeframe, another winner will be chosen and notified.
Entrants for giveaways on MamaBuzz must be 18 years of age or older. All giveaways end at 11:59 pm CST unless otherwise stated. Mel reserves the right to disqualify entrants, change the giveaway end date without notice, or make any changes to the giveaway.
Mel is not responsible for lost or damaged items in the mail/delivery service, but she will do her best to contact the company/brand on your behalf, so that a resolution may be found.
