OFFICIAL SURVEY RULES
Thank you for participating in the Apex CoVantage (“Apex”) publishing survey (the “Survey”). As a special incentive, we have arranged that the first 100 qualified respondents that complete the Survey will be sent as a thank-you gift a USD $5.00 Starbucks Card*. This incentive is not a contest, drawing, lottery or sweepstakes, and no luck or skill is involved; but there are some eligibility requirements to qualify for the Starbucks card, as follows:

We will transmit the Starbucks cards electronically to the email addresses supplied by the first 100 qualified Survey respondents within ten (10) business days after the end of the Eligibility Period.
