1. Eligibility: Ranch’N Match (the “Instant Win Game”) is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50)
United States and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years old at the time of entry.
Employees of HV Food Products Co. (“Sponsor”), Merkle Inc. (“Administrator”), as well as the immediate
family (spouse, parents, siblings, and children) and household members of each such employee are not
eligible. The Instant Win Game is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations
and is void where prohibited. Participation in the Instant Win Game constitutes entrant’s full and
unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Sponsor’s and Administrator’s decisions, which are
final and binding in all matters related to the Instant Win Game. Winning a prize is contingent upon
fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.
2. Sponsor: HV Food Products Co., 1221 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94612. Administrator: Merkle Inc.,
3000 Town Center, Suite 2100, Southfield, MI 48075.
3. Timing: The Instant Win Game begins on August 15, 2022 at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) and
ends on November 15, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. ET (the “Promotion Period”). Administrator’s computer is the
official time-keeping device for the Instant Win Game.
4. How to Enter: During the Promotion Period, visit https://www.hiddenvalley.com/ranchology-rewards-
program/ and follow the links and instructions to register (if you have not done so previously) or log in to
your account. If this is your first visit to the Hidden Valley site, you will be required to provide your name,
email address and password as well as agreement to the terms of the site
(https://www.thecloroxcompany.com/terms/) to register. In addition, you will be required to review and
confirm agreement to these Official Rules. Follow the links and instructions to locate the Instant Win
Game. By doing so, you will automatically receive one (1) Instant Win Game play for that day and
proceed to the Instant Win Game page. Once on the Instant Win Game page, select two (2) images at a
time to reveal if they match. After all the matches have been made/the memory match board is blank, the
Instant Win Game results will be instantly displayed. Potential winners of the Instant Win Game will be
provided directions for validation. All potential winners are subject to verification before any prize will be
awarded. Administrator is responsible for the functionality of the Instant Win Game.
Limit: Each entrant may play one (1) time per day during the Promotion Period. Multiple entrants are not
permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated
number of plays by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any
other methods will void that entrant’s plays and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated
system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Sponsor is not responsible for lost,
late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, or misdirected registrations, which will be disqualified. In the event
of a dispute as to any registration or play, the authorized account holder of the email address used to
register will be deemed to be the entrant or player. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person
assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, Internet service
provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with
the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized
account holder.
5. ALL POTENTIAL WINNING PLAYS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR OR
ADMINISTRATOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A
WINNER OF ANY PRIZE, EVEN IF THE INSTANT WIN GAME SHOULD SO INDICATE, UNLESS AND
UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING PLAY HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AND
ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. SPONSOR WILL NOT
ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION
PROCESS. ANY PLAY THAT OCCURS AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR ANY REASON IS
DEEMED A DEFECTIVE PLAY, IS VOID, AND WILL NOT BE HONORED.
6. Instant Win Game Prize Selection and Verification of Potential Winners: Receiving a prize is
contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. Administrator is an independent judging
organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Instant Win Game and the
selection of potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Instant Win Game. There
will be three hundred eighty-one (381) random, computer-generated winning times during the Promotion
Period. If you are the first player to play the Instant Win Game at or after one of the randomly-generated
times, you will be a potential instant winner of the prize indicated. Each potential winner will be required to
provide the Administrator a mailing address (no P.O. Boxes) for prize fulfillment purposes within five (5)
days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize and to fulfill any such
other requirements as determined by Administrator. If any potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to
sign and return the Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release (when applicable) or
provide any other requested information within the required time period, potential winner forfeits the prize.
If any potential winner cannot be contacted or if prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner
forfeits prize. In the event that a potential winner of a prize valued over $25.00 is disqualified for any
reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all
remaining eligible entries. Prizes will be fulfilled approximately 8-10 weeks after the conclusion of the
Instant Win Game.

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 Instant Win Game, or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this
or any other promotion, or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to
deliberately damage any website or undermine the legitimate operation of the Instant Win Game is 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.

Administrator, and any promotional partners, each of their parent, subsidiary, affiliate, and related
companies, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively

kind arising, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, out of participation in the Instant Win Game or
resulting directly or indirectly, from acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of any prize awarded in
connection with the Instant Win Game, including without limitation personal injury, death, and/or property
damage, as well as claims based on publicity rights, defamation, and/or invasion of privacy.

is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole
remedy is another entry in the Instant Win Game, if it is possible. No more than the stated number of
prizes will be awarded. In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming, or any other
reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be available
and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random
drawing among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.
