Giveaway Policy

General FAQ:

  • Once the giveaway is over, winners will be announced by the upcoming weekend and will have one week to contact me. If I do not hear from the declared winner, a new name will be drawn and they will have a week to contact me.
  • If after two draws the winner(s) has still not contacted me, the prize will be forfeit and a new winner(s) will not be named.
  • All giveaways at EBookObsessed run up to two weeks unless otherwise noted.
  • EBookObsessed acts as an intermediary for the giveaway sponsors and are therefore not responsible for unsent, lost, stolen or damaged prizes.
  • We reserve the right to end or extend a giveaway without notice.
  • All giveaways are open toU.S.and Canadian residents only unless otherwise noted.  Sorry.
  • Unless the book is a Young Adult category, the giveaways will be restricted to 18 years and older please.  It will be noted in the giveaway. 
  • Obviously void where prohibited by law.
  • Giveaways will also be posted on Facebook and Twitter, however participants must comment at the giveaway post in the comments section of EBookObsessed in order to enter.
  • All giveaways will state who is providing the prize. For sponsor giveaways, EBookObsessed is not responsible for the prizes being offered. If a sponsor does not honor their prize, there is little I can do about it (although giveaways from said sponsor may not occur again). However I have no fears about this happening and just want it known that it is the sponsors responsibility to fulfill their prize obligations and not EBookObsessed.
  • These rules are subject to change or modified without prior notice.

For Giveaway Sponsors:

  • Prize(s), terms and conditions, including any shipping restrictions, must be announced up front.

  • Giveaway prize(s) should be sent to the winner(s) directly from the sponsor unless other arrangements have already been made.
  • Giveaways will be promoted by EBookObsessed on our website as well as on Facebook and Twitter for the duration of the giveaway.
  • Giveaways should include items that would interest romance and paranormal readers and may include, but are not limited to books, gift cards, swag, etc.
  • EBookObsessed reserves the right to reject any giveaway(s) that are deem unsuitable or unsavory.

For Giveaway Entrants:

  • Winners will be announced on EBookObsessed and I will attempt to contact via email. It is the entrants responsibility to check the EBookObsessed posting to see if they have won.  If a response is not receive from our e-mail within one week, the next winner will be contacted. 
  • Personal information will never be sold or shared except with the sponsor of the giveaway.  Afterwards, all information will be deleted.
  • The prize stated is the prize you will receive unless otherwise contacted. Due to circumstances, an alternate prize may be substituted at the sponsors discretion. Winner(s) may not request a substitution and the prize is non-transferable. If you do not want the prize being offered, you are more than welcome to answer the question, but please mention that you are not entering the giveaway.
  • Please note: if you win an electronic copy of a book, it is illegal to forward, giveaway or copy it in any fashion once you receive it. Doing so violates the author’s copyright and if I find out about it, you will be banned from future giveaways.
  • By entering any giveaway, you are agreeing to adhere to any of the preceding terms.

    Are winners listed on the site or do you email them directly I ask because I entered the Thea Harrison contest that ended in November and I keep checking back to see who the winner is just in case it’s me but I don’t see anything? I look forward to your response.

    • Good afternoon.

      I am sorry. Yes, I send an e-mail directly to the winner and I try to post the winners on the website after I get a response. Sometimes it slips my brain.

      My winner was Mary Jo, and I send her an eBook.

      Sorry.
