*Summer of Giving Referral Sweepstakes: Official Rules [U.S]

1. SPONSOR: The sponsor of the Summer of Giving Referral Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”) is Toast, Inc., located at 333 Summer St, Boston, Massachusetts 02210 (“Sponsor” or “Toast”).


2. AGREEMENT TO OFFICIAL RULES: By entering the Sweepstakes, you indicate your full and unconditional agreement to (a) these Official Rules, and (b) Sponsor’s decisions, which are final and binding. Winning the Prize (as defined in Section 7 of these Official Rules) is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

3. SCHEDULE: The Sweepstakes begins at 12:00 AM ET on June 1, 2025, and ends at 11:59:59 PM ET on August 31, 2025 (the “Sweepstakes Period”). The Sweepstakes will be comprised of six (6) Sprints (each Sprint is a two-week period) plus a Grand Prize Sprint (eight days) during which entrants may submit entries to be eligible to win the designated Prize(s) for such Sprints.  To be eligible to win a certain Prize, among other requirements, an entry must be submitted before the end of the designated entry period for the applicable Sprint as designated in the Prize Table set forth in Section 6 of these Official Rules (each, an “Entry Period”).  Entries submitted after the applicable Entry Period for a specific Sprint will not be eligible to win the Prize set forth in the Prize Table for such Sprint. Entries submitted before or during any applicable Sprint Entry Period will be eligible to win the Prize set forth in the Prize Table for such Sprint.  All entries submitted during the Sweepstakes Period will be eligible to win the Grand Prize set forth in the Prize Table.  Sponsor’s computer is the official time-keeping device for the Sweepstakes. It is the responsibility of each individual attempting to enter the Sweepstakes to observe time zone differences.


4. HOW TO ENTER: The Sweepstakes is open to individuals who submit at least one (1) qualified referral of a restaurant through the Toast Referral Program, Toast Local Partner Program, or the Toast Partner Program. Individuals must submit entries via the referral portal for their specified program or in writing to their designated sales representative. Throughout the Sweepstakes, there will be thirty-two (32) Winners (defined below) in total that are chosen at random who have submitted at least one (1) referral prior to or during the applicable Entry Period. While entrants may submit as many legitimate referrals as desired, an entrant may only refer a specific restaurant once. Referrals may not be existing Toast customers. You may not use an agency or any automated system to enter and Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entries received through such methods. Your participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes your agreement to these Official Rules. 


5. ELIGIBILITY: Eligibility to participate in the Sweepstakes or win the Prize is limited to U.S. individual persons at least eighteen (18) years of age at the beginning of the Sweepstakes (i.e., the beginning of the first Entry Period on June 1, 2025). Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email or addresses, accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified.  Registrations or submissions generated by a script, macro or other automated means are void.  In the event of a dispute as to any entrant, the natural person associated with the applicable email address shall be deemed to be the entrant. Potential winners of a Prize may be required to show proof of identity. Entrants who disregard these Official Rules are not eligible to participate in or win a Prize in the Sweepstakes. Directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents (and their immediate families and household members) of the Sponsor, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries are also not eligible. The Sponsor's determination of eligibility, in its sole discretion, shall be final. The Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the United States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The Sweepstakes is void where prohibited and shall be restricted by all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations that may apply.


6. SELECTION OF WINNERS: Throughout the Sweepstakes, Sponsor will select a total of thirty-two (32) winners at random from the eligible entries received (the “Winners”).  Excluding Sprint 6 and the Grand Prize Sprint, three (3) Customer Winners and three (3) Local Partner/Partner Winners will be selected during each Sprint (each Sprint is a 2 week period) of the Promotion to win the Prizes designated in the below Prize Table, one (1) Winner will be selected to win the Prize in Sprint 6 (for Partners only), and one (1) Winner will be selected to win the Grand Prize designated in the below Prize Table, all as set forth in the below Prize Table. In addition to other eligibility requirements, entries must be submitted prior to (but within the Sweepstakes Period) or within the applicable Sprint Entry Period to be eligible to win the Prize set forth in the below Prize Table for such Sprint. The Sponsor will attempt to notify each Winner via email to the email address associated with the Winner’s referral account or primary contact associated with the Toast partner agreement no later than two (2) weeks following the close of the Entry Period for the Sprint in which a Prize was won by the Winner. Winners will have seven (7) days to acknowledge receipt of the winning notification. If the Prize is not claimed within the seven (7) day time limit, Sponsor will select alternate Winners, as needed, at random from eligible entries received.  Only two (2) alternate drawings will be held, after which the applicable Prize will remain un-awarded. The Winners may be required to sign an eligibility statement and release. The Prize(s) won will be delivered to the Winners electronically to the email address set forth on the winning submission, or as otherwise determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. If a Winner does not meet the eligibility criteria set forth in these Official Rules (which may include signing an eligibility statement and release) or does not claim the Prize won (to the extent applicable), the Sponsor will select an alternative potential winner. Entrants may win multiple Prizes.

7. PRIZE: The Sponsor will award the Prizes as set forth in the table below. Sponsor is not responsible if a Prize is lost, stolen, destroyed, misused or used without permission.  Prizes will not be replaced, substituted, or converted.  Odds of winning a Prize will depend on the number of eligible entries.  As used herein, “ARV” means approximate retail value.  Total ARV for the Prizes: $18,550.00.
