Official Contest Rules

Young Pearls Inc – Short Form Rules and Advertising Language
1. Mandatory Short-Form Disclosure

How to use this document. Every Contest advertisement, post, sign, display, email, script and
the 6" x 6" vending backdrop must carry the applicable short-form disclosure below, unchanged
except for completing the bracketed fields. The free entry route must be as visible as any
reference to buying. A reference to "rules apply" does not cure a misleading headline or a
missing disclosure. Any new format, headline or claim not listed here must be approved by
Abaki Law before use.
1.1 Full version (website, print, in-store signage, email, backdrop)
YOUNG PEARL $26,500 VEHICLE PRIZE CONTEST. NO PURCHASE
NECESSARY. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning. Open to legal
residents of Ontario aged 18+. One entry per person; maximum 4,400 entries across all entry
methods. Opens [TIME] ET [START DATE]; closes at the earlier of the 4,400th entry or
11:59 p.m. ET December 20, 2027. Enter free at [www.youngpearl.ca/contest-entry] [or by
mail: see rules]. Winner selected by independently supervised random draw within 15 days

One prize: CAD $26,500 paid to the dealer toward a new [MODEL YEAR] Hyundai Elantra
Essential in white. Winner pays the balance (est. CAD $[4,000] incl. HST) plus licensing,
insurance and all ongoing costs. Correct answer to a skill-testing question required. Not
sponsored by Hyundai or Instagram. Full rules: [www.youngpearl.ca/contest-rules].

1.2 Abbreviated version (Instagram captions, digital banners, space-limited formats)
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY; buying does not improve odds. ON residents 18+. 1
entry/person; max 4,400 entries. Closes December 20, 2027 or earlier at 4,400 entries.
Random draw within 15 days after close; odds depend on entries (1 in 4,400 if full). Prize:
CAD $26,500 toward a new Hyundai Elantra Essential; winner pays balance (est. $[4,000]
incl. HST) + licensing/insurance. Skill question req'd. Not affiliated with Instagram or
Hyundai. Free entry and rules: [youngpearl.ca/contest]
The abbreviated version may be used only where the full version will not fit, and only with a
working link to the free Entry Form and full Rules in the same placement. On Instagram, it must
appear in the caption above the "more" fold, and the link must be in the account bio for the
whole Contest Period.
1.3 Stories, Reels and video

• Display the abbreviated version as on-screen text for at least five seconds (longer for
longer text), in a size and contrast readable on a phone screen, with a link sticker to
[www.youngpearl.ca/contest-entry].
• Any voiceover that mentions buying must also say "no purchase necessary" with
equal emphasis. Describe the prize as "twenty-six thousand five hundred dollars
toward a new Hyundai Elantra" and say "winner pays the balance". Never say "win a
car".
• Each Story frame that promotes the Contest is a separate advertisement and needs its
own disclosure.

Reviews. No Contest material, staff script or post may mention, request or reward reviews on
Google or any other platform.
Urgency. Statements about time or entries remaining must be true when made. Do not use
countdown timers that reset, or "last chance" claims before the Long-Stop Date is near or the cap
is close.
Receipts and point of sale. Receipts, bags and point-of-sale cards may promote the Contest only
if they carry the abbreviated disclosure, including "No purchase necessary" and the free entry
URL. Do not print "Your entry" or similar on a receipt: a receipt is not an Entry.
