  2. The sponsor of the Promotion is Meraki LLC (“Meraki” or “Sponsor”), 500 Terry A. Francois Blvd., San Francisco, CA 94158.
  3. Promotion Period. The promotion (the “Promotion”) begins at 12:00 am local time on August 1, 2017 and ends at 11:59 pm local time on October 31, 2017 (the “Promotion Period”). Sponsor’s computer network is the official time-keeping device for the Promotion.

(“Partner”) who are (i) legal residents of the Philippines, (ii) at least the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence, and (iii) have the permission of Partner to participate in the Promotion and accept the prizes described below if awarded to such Participant. Participants are solely responsible for informing Partner of their participation in the Promotion, and compliance with any applicable laws, contractual limitations and procedures established by Partner related to their participation. The Promotion is void where prohibited or restricted by law.
  5. The Prizes. The prizes described below are referred to individually as a “Prize” and together as the “Prizes.”

a. Threshold Prize.

i. Prize. Each Participant, subject to the eligibility requirements described in Section 5(a)(ii), can win a prize of a gift card to the value of SGD 20.00 (the “Threshold Prize”). No cash or other alternative Threshold Prize is available.

ii. How to Win. To win a Prize, a Participant must submit one (1) Qualifying Registration during the Promotion Period. There is no limit on the total number of Threshold Prizes a Participant may win. However, for avoidance of doubt, a Participant can win at most one Threshold Prize per customer account. Threshold Prizes are subject to terms and conditions as dictated by the issuer of such Threshold Prizes (including, but not limited to, expiration dates), and Meraki assumes no liability for any failure by a Participant to abide by those terms and conditions.

b. Top Performer Prize.

i. Prize. Only one Participant, subject to the eligibility requirements described in Section 5(b)(ii), can win a prize of a gift card to the value of SGD 200.00 (the “Top Performer Prize”). No cash or other alternative Top Performer Prize is available. No more than one (1) Top Performer Prize will be awarded. A Participant can win at most one Top Performer Prize.

ii. How to Win. At the completion of the Promotion Period, if at least one (1) Participant has obtained at least ten (10) Threshold Prizes, the Participant with the greatest number of Threshold Prizes will be awarded the Top Performer Prize.  In the event that multiple Participants have obtained the same number of Threshold Prizes, the tie-breaker to determine the winner of the sole Top Performer Prize will be the cumulative gross deal size of the subject Threshold Prizes.

c. Definitions.

i. “Meraki Products” means the line of Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”) products branded as the Cisco Meraki cloud-networking products, listed at http://merakiupdate.wpenginepowered.com.

ii. Meraki “sales” are measured by the Partner’s cost of goods from the distributor, Meraki, Cisco or its local affiliates (as applicable).

iii. A sale or deal is considered “closed” when the products listed on the purchase order have actually been shipped to the end customer.

iv. “Qualifying Registration” means a deal, or multiple deals with the same account, (i) for purchase of Meraki Products, (ii) that are registered and approved through Meraki’s deal registration portal on merakipartners.com or approved as OIPs through Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW) during the Promotion Period. No account can give rise to more than one Qualifying Registration, and only one Participant can receive credit for each Qualifying Registration. Deal registrations must be approved by a Meraki sales representative in accordance with the criteria available at http://www.merakipartners.com.

d. Prize Conditions. Sponsor may, in its discretion, issue any Prize (i) to the winning Participant, or (ii) to Partner to deliver to such Participant in the Partner’s sole discretion and subject to taxes. A Participant must be employed by Partner at the time of Prize issuance to be eligible to receive the Prize. No substitution, assignment, transfer, or cash redemption of any Prize is allowed by winner. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a Prize with another item of equal or greater value should the advertised Prize become unavailable for any reason. If a potential winner is unable to participate in or accept the Prize or any portion of the Prize for any reason, Sponsor shall have no further obligation to such potential winner.  Neither Sponsor nor any of its Prize suppliers will replace any lost or stolen items, cards or certificates after being awarded to winners.

Meraki will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the winning Participants by email and issue the Prize applicable to each winning Participant within 90 days after the end of the Promotion Period. Sponsor may also send potential winners a declaration of eligibility and release form (a “Release”).  Unless restricted by law, potential winners receiving such a Release may be required to complete and return it within the time period specified therein.  The Prize may be forfeited and, in such case, an alternate Participant may in Sponsor’s discretion be selected from among the remaining eligible entries (using the criteria described above), if a potential winner:  (i) cannot be reached; (ii) fails to provide all signatures on the Release; or (iii) cannot accept or receive the Prize for any reason.
