HOW TO ENTER: To enter the Sweepstakes, you must sign up online with your Smart Card number. If you are not a registered Smart Card member, you will be required to create a Smart Card account. To create a Smart Card account you can do so by visiting any physical H Mart store location or by downloading the H Mart app. By signing up, you are indicating that you have read and agree to accept the terms and conditions of the online platform.

To enter, visit the online signup page and follow the entry requirements specified. If any entry fails to comply with any of these entry requirements or any other provisions of these Official Rules, at the Sponsor’s sole discretion, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify the entrant.
In the event of a dispute as to the identity of the entrant, the sign-up will be considered made by the authorized Smart Card account owner at the time of submission. “Authorized account owner” of an email address is the natural person in whose name the email address has been issued. A selected winner may be asked to provide Sponsor with proof that the selected winner is the registered owner of the said account. If a dispute cannot be resolved, the entry will be deemed ineligible. Use of automated devices is not valid for entry in the Sweepstakes. Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, disqualify anyone who violates the Official Rules or undermines the integrity of the Sweepstakes by using any form of automated entering or any other form of manipulation.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Once a sign-up form is submitted, it cannot be changed, altered, or modified. The submitted information (a) may not contain any inappropriate language as solely determined by the Sponsor, (b) may not infringe upon any third party’s rights, including but not limited to copyright, patent, trademarks/tradenames/logos other than Sponsor, or rights of privacy or publicity, or contain material that is or may be considered defamatory, slanderous, or libelous, or portray in a false light, and (c) may not violate any law, rule, or regulation. Each entrant warrants and represents that their sign-up form complies with the conditions set forth in sub-clauses (a) through (c) above. Non-complying Submissions will be subject to disqualification.
WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: The Sponsor will conduct a random drawing on the date
indicated in the Sweepstakes post, from among all eligible entries received during the Entry Period detailed in the post to select the winner. The odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period. The winner will be notified via the email address provided during the online signup process. The winner will have seven (7) days to respond via email, providing their name, shipping address, email address, telephone number, and birth date to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older. If any prize notification or any prize is returned as undeliverable, the prize will be awarded to an alternate winner. Prizes will be delivered in person to the authorized Smart Card account owner at their nearest H Mart store location. All notification requirements, as well as other requirements within these Official Rules, will be enforced.
PRIZE: Two hundred and fifty three (253) winners will be randomly chosen through an online generator to receive an H Mart gift certificate.

Only one prize per person and per household will be awarded. Gift cards and gift certificates are subject to the terms and conditions of the issuer. Prizes cannot be transferred, redeemed for cash, or substituted by the winner. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to award a substitute prize of equal or greater value if the prize described in these Official Rules is unavailable or cannot be awarded, in whole or in part, for any reason. The Approximate Retail Value ("ARV") of the prize represents the Sponsor's good faith determination. That determination is final and binding and cannot be appealed. If the actual value of the prize turns out to be less than the ARV, the difference will not be awarded in cash. Restrictions, conditions, and limitations may apply. The Sponsor will not replace any lost or stolen prize items.
This Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of eligible locations, and the prize will only be awarded and/or delivered to addresses within said locations. All federal, state, and/or local taxes, fees, and surcharges are the sole responsibility of the prize winner. Failure to comply with the Official Rules will result in the forfeiture of the prize. The winner is also responsible for all costs associated with any optional accessories ordered by the winner.
