Official rules

The Controlled Insanity Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”) is open only to individuals who are legal residents of one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia who, at the time of entry, are at least eighteen (18) years old and the age of majority in their state of legal residence. Void where prohibited by law. Directors, management, staff, and employees of Sponsor, or any of its parent(s), subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising agencies, suppliers, distributors, or retailers, or any other company or individual involved with the design, production, execution or distribution of the Sweepstakes, and their immediate family (spouse, ex-spouse, de facto partner, parents and step parents, grandparents and step grandparents, siblings and step siblings, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew, brother, sister, step brother, step sister, first cousin and children and stepchildren) and household members (people who share the same residence at least three (3) months out of the year) of each such employee are not eligible. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Participation constitutes entrant’s (“Entrant”) full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Sponsor’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Winning a Prize (defined below) is contingent upon selected Entrant fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

Sponsor: Controlled Insanity LLC, 77-21 250th Street, Bellerose, NY, 11426

The Sweepstakes entry period starts on November 15, 2026 at approximately 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) and ends on December 25, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET (the “Sweepstakes Entry Period”). Entries received outside the Sweepstakes Entry Period will be void. Sponsor is the official timekeeper for this Sweepstakes.

There are six (6) ways to enter the Sweepstakes:

Limit of 1,000 entries per person during the Sweepstakes Entry Period, regardless of entry method.

On or about January 15, 2027 (the “Drawing Date”), Sponsor will select one (1) entry in a random drawing among all valid entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period as the potential Prize winner (“Potential Prize Winner”). Sponsor will contact the Potential Prize Winner by telephone, email, or social media direct message (as applicable) using the phone number, email address, or social media account the Potential Prize Winner used to enter the Sweepstakes (as applicable). Failure by the Potential Prize Winner to respond to the initial verification within five (5) calendar days of notification may result in disqualification, and Sponsor may, at its discretion, select an alternate Potential Prize Winner from all remaining valid entries. Odds of winning a Prize depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period.

There is one (1) prize (“Prize”). The Prize shall be comprised of one (1) 2023 BMW M4 Competition. Total approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the Prize: $75,000 USD.

Alternate Prize: In lieu of the Vehicle, the Verified Prize Winner may elect to receive $25,000 USD cash (the “Cash Alternative”), which election must be made in writing at the time the Affidavit is returned and is final. If the Verified Prize Winner elects the Cash Alternative, Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to the Vehicle.

THE PRIZE IS OFFERED AND PROVIDED "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE BY SPONSOR OTHER THAN WHAT IS EXPRESSLY INCLUDED WITH THE PRIZE.

All non-stated features of the Prize are in Sponsor’s discretion and subject to availability. All expenses and costs not expressly listed in these Official Rules are the sole responsibility of the verified Prize winner (“Verified Prize Winner”). Verified Prize Winner will be responsible for all other expenses relating to the receipt and use of the Prize. The Prize is nontransferable and, except for the Cash Alternative described above, may not be substituted or redeemed for cash by Verified Prize Winner. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the Prize, in whole or in part, for one of equal or greater value. All federal, state, and local taxes are solely the responsibility of Verified Prize Winner. Odds of winning a Prize depend on the number of valid and eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period.

Sponsor is not responsible for any change of email address and/or mailing address and/or Instagram, TikTok, or Discord account information of Entrants, nor is Sponsor responsible for any lost or damaged mail.

All non-stated options and features of the Prize, including the vehicle included in the Prize (the “Vehicle”), are in Sponsor's discretion and subject to availability, and the Vehicle may differ from that depicted in Sweepstakes advertising; in the event of any inconsistency between such materials and these Official Rules, these Official Rules shall control. Sponsor shall make arrangements with Verified Prize Winner to award and deliver the Prize, and reserves the right to delay delivery or to substitute a similar vehicle or other prize of equal or greater value if the Vehicle is unavailable for any reason. Verified Prize Winner must provide proof of insurance and a valid driver's license in order to receive the Vehicle, and is solely responsible for all title, license, registration, inspection, emissions, insurance, fuel, maintenance and non-stated equipment/accessory costs, for determining whether and under what conditions the Vehicle may lawfully and safely be operated on public roads, and for compliance with all applicable laws. Verified Prize Winner is not eligible for any cash rebate programs associated with the Vehicle, and Sponsor will not replace any lost or stolen Prize or Prize component. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sponsor makes no warranty, representation or guarantee, express or implied, regarding the Vehicle, including its quality, mechanical condition or fitness. For purposes of federal taxes, the net fair market value of the Prize, plus any published cash award applied toward the tax requirement, as of the date Verified Prize Winner receives the Prize, will determine the net fair market value of the Prize, not the approximate current retail value of the Prize. If the cash portion of the Prize, if any, does not fulfill Verified Prize Winner’s tax obligations, then Verified Prize Winner will be required to fund the difference at the time of (or prior to) receiving the Prize. Verified Prize Winner is solely responsible for all taxes resulting from winning the Prize, including all federal, state, provincial, municipal, and local taxes, fees, assessments, sales tax, and other similar charges. Sponsor will issue Verified Prize Winner an IRS Form 1099-MISC for the fair market value of any Prize valued at $2,000 or more. Verified Prize Winner must complete and return to Sponsor an IRS Form W-9 (including a social security or tax identification number) in order to receive the Prize; failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the Prize.

POTENTIAL PRIZE WINNER’S ELIGIBILITY IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES. Any Potential Prize Winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon such Potential Prize Winner fulfilling all requirements, not being disqualified, and being deemed by Sponsor eligible to receive the Prize. Sponsor may run a background check on any Potential Prize Winner, subject to applicable law. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any Potential Prize Winner based on the results of such background check. The Potential Prize Winner will be required to execute and return to Sponsor for its receipt within five (5) business days of notification, an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability and Publicity Release (where permitted by law) (collectively, the “Affidavit”) in order to claim the Prize. Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, exercise its rights under such Affidavit. In the event: (a) Potential Prize Winner cannot be reached for whatever reason after a reasonable effort has been exerted or the Potential Prize Winner notification or Affidavit is returned as undeliverable; (b) Potential Prize Winner declines or cannot accept, receive or use the Prize for any reason; (c) of noncompliance with the above or within any of the aforesaid time periods; (d) Potential Prize Winner is found to be ineligible to enter the Sweepstakes or receive the Prize; (e) Potential Prize Winner cannot or does not comply with the Official Rules; or (f) Potential Prize Winner fails to fulfill the Affidavit-related obligations, the Potential Prize Winner shall be disqualified from the Sweepstakes and an alternate Potential Prize Winner may be selected, at Sponsor’s sole discretion, from among the other eligible entries received. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification and Affidavit procedures in connection with the selection of alternate Potential Prize Winner, if any. Verified Prize Winner will be solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes on the Prize and will receive an IRS Form 1099-MISC for the fair market value of the Prize as described in Section 7 and must provide Sponsor with a valid social security or tax identification number for tax reporting purposes.

By entering, each Entrant agrees to: (a) comply with and be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor and/or its designee(s) which are binding and final in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes; (b) release and hold harmless Sponsor, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, and BMW of North America, LLC, and their respective parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, the Prize suppliers and any other organizations and/or persons responsible for sponsoring, fulfilling, administering, advertising or promoting the Sweepstakes, and all of their respective past and present officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and against any and all claims, expenses and liability, including but not limited to negligence and damages of any kind to persons and property, including but not limited to invasion of privacy (under appropriation, intrusion, public disclosure of private facts, false light in the public eye or other legal theory), defamation, slander, libel, violation of right of publicity, infringement of trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights, property damage, or death or personal injury arising out of or relating to a participant’s entry, creation of an entry or submission of an entry, participation in the Sweepstakes, acceptance or use or misuse of Prize (including any travel or activity related thereto, and the operation of the Vehicle) and/or the broadcast, exploitation or use of entry; and (c) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, expenses, and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to an Entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes, Entrant’s breach of these Official Rules, and/or Entrant’s acceptance, use or misuse of any Prize.

The Released Parties are not responsible for: (a) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by Entrant, or programming associated with or used in the Sweepstakes; (b) technical failures of any kind, including but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (c) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Sweepstakes; (d) technical or human error, which may occur in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing of entries; (e) any injury or damage to persons or property, which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use or misuse of any Prize; or (f) entries, prize claims or notifications that are lost, late, incomplete, illegible, unintelligible, damaged or otherwise not received by the intended recipient, in whole or in part, due to computer, human or technical error of any kind, including but not limited to, by reason of unauthorized human intervention, spam filters, privacy settings, inactive email accounts or an entrant’s failure to monitor its email account. If for any reason an Entrant’s entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, Entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the Sweepstakes. No more than the stated number of Prizes will be awarded. If, for any reason, the Sweepstakes cannot be executed as planned, including, but not limited to, any governmental order, epidemic, pandemic, force majeure, social media mandate, printing, administrative or other error of any kind, transmission failure, infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes beyond the control of Sponsor that corrupt or affect the security, administration, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes, or if the Sweepstakes is compromised or becomes technically corrupted in any way, electronically or otherwise, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify or terminate the Sweepstakes and, if terminated before the original end date, to select the winners from among all eligible, non-suspect entries received as of the date/time of termination.

Except where prohibited, Entrants agree that participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes Verified Prize Winner’s consent to Sponsor’s and its agents’ use of such winner’s name, likeness, photograph, voice, opinions and/or hometown and state for promotional purposes in any media (whether now known or invented in the future), worldwide, without further limitation, restriction, notice, review, approval, payment or consideration but that Sponsor is not required to make such use. Further, each Entrant grants Sponsor and its agents a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, edit, and publish Entrant’s entry content (including any social media comments, handles, and posts submitted in connection with the Sweepstakes), in whole or in part, in any media (whether now known or invented in the future), without further limitation, restriction, notice, review, approval, payment or consideration, but Sponsor is not required to make such use. Sponsor may edit the entry content in its sole discretion prior to promotional use.

This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, or BMW of North America, LLC. Entrant’s entry shall comply with Sponsor’s, Instagram’s, TikTok’s and Discord’s and/or any third-party platform provider’s terms of service/use and privacy policies, and shall not: (a) contain material which is (or promotes activities which are) sexually explicit, obscene, pornographic, violent, self-mutilating, discriminatory (based on race, sex, religion, national origin, physical disability, sexual orientation or age), illegal (e.g. underage drinking, substance abuse, computer hacking, etc.), offensive, threatening, profane, or harassing; (b) contain content which would be derogatory and/or insulting of any others, including Sponsor and/or other persons or entities, products or services; (c) contain content which refers to and/or is complimentary of any competitors of Sponsor or which is complimentary of and/or refers to any product competitive with any product or service of Sponsor; (d) include personally identifiable information or any other information or indicia of any person other than Entrant and should the Entrant include personally identifiable information about him/herself in his/her entry, Entrant acknowledges and agrees that such information will be disclosed publicly and Entrant is solely responsible for any consequences thereof; and (e) contain material that violates or infringes another’s rights, including but not limited to privacy, publicity or intellectual property rights, including copyright infringement. Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. All trademarks, logos and other intellectual property of Sponsor remain the sole property of Sponsor, and nothing in these Official Rules grants any Entrant any license or right to use them. BMW and M4 are trademarks of their respective owner and are used solely to identify the Prize.

In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of any Entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter the Sweepstakes will be deemed to be the Entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential Prize Winner(s) of any Prize may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder to be awarded the Prize. All entry information becomes the sole and exclusive property of Sponsor and will not be returned or cancelled.

BY ENTERING THE SWEEPSTAKES, ENTRANT AGREES THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (1) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES, OR ANY PRIZE(S) AWARDED WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; AND (2) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of participating in this Sweepstakes, each Entrant agrees as follows:

Binding Arbitration Agreement. Except as otherwise stated below, any and all legal issue, claim or dispute arising out of or connected or related in any way to the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to Prize awarded, shall be resolved through final, binding arbitration. Entrant specifically agrees that, except as otherwise provided herein, entry into the Sweepstakes waives all rights to bring a lawsuit based on such claim(s) or dispute(s) and the right to have such lawsuit resolved by a judge or a jury.

This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.). Any arbitration will be commenced and administered by JAMS under the rules of JAMS, including JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/. If JAMS’ criteria are met by the nature of the dispute, the Entrant agrees that the arbitration shall be conducted under JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court of appropriate jurisdiction.

Each party will pay the fees for his/her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. However, if Entrant is unable to pay JAMS’ costs, Sponsor will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. If JAMS is unavailable, unwilling, or otherwise unable to administer an arbitration in accordance with these rules, then another arbitration administrator will be selected by agreement of the parties.

Neither Entrant nor Sponsor shall be permitted to obtain awards, and all parties hereby waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, or any other damages, including attorneys’ fees, other than Entrant’s actual out-of-pocket expenses (i.e., costs associated with participating in this Sweepstakes). The parties further waive all rights to have damages multiplied or increased.

The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon both you and us. Additionally, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, except that this sentence shall not apply to the Class Action Waiver provisions described below. The arbitrator will render a decision in writing. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter judgment upon the arbitrator's decision/award. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.

Excluded Disputes. Notwithstanding the binding arbitration requirement set forth in this section, Entrant may bring qualifying claims in small claims court so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual, non-class, non-representative basis.

Class Action Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and we agree to bring any claim or dispute, whether in arbitration, or court as permitted by these terms, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. There shall be no right or authority for any claim or dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action ("Class Action Waiver"). The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator may award any remedy to which a party is entitled under applicable law, but remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in their individual capacity. Regardless of anything else in this Arbitration Agreement and/or the applicable JAMS rules, the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of the Class Action Waiver may only be determined by a court and not an arbitrator. This Class Action Waiver will survive the termination of your relationship with us.

One-Year Time Limit to Raise Disputes or Claims. You agree that any dispute, claim or lawsuit, regardless of form, that may arise out of or related to the Sweepstakes, must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR of the action, omission, event or occurrence giving rise to the dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit. After the expiration of the one-year period, such dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit will be time-barred and prohibited, without regard to any longer period of time which may be provided by any period of limitation or pursuant to law or statute.

Waiver of Jury Trial. BOTH ENTRANT AND SPONSOR HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, except as provided herein. We are instead mutually electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified herein. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

Location of Arbitration. Entrant may choose to have the arbitration conducted by video conference technology such as Zoom, or based on written submissions. Otherwise, the location of the arbitration proceeding shall take place in the city or state where Entrant resides, unless each party to the arbitration agrees otherwise, or at another mutually agreed upon location.

These Official Rules and any disputes between us shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

In the event any provision of these Official Rules is determined to be void or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the remainder of these terms, which shall continue to be in force.

When registering for the Sweepstakes, you expressly agree to receive promotional communications from Sponsor. Information collected from Entrants is subject to the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy, which is available at https://controlledinsanity.com/pages/privacy-policy. If you are selected as a Potential or Verified Prize Winner, your name, city and state may also be included in a publicly available Winner's List.

For the Sweepstakes results, send a hand-printed, self-addressed, stamped envelope to: “Winner’s List” c/o Controlled Insanity Sweepstakes, 45-12 211th Street, Bayside, NY 11361. Requests for the Winner’s List must be received within 60 calendar days after the end of the Sweepstakes Entry Period.
