Frozetti's Dippin Dots

I won one of 12 prizes of 1 dippin dots delivery, a figurine and a t shirt. However, after several weeks they finally emailed the 3 affidavits. Beware, the affidavits clearly state that one is giving up all rights to their name, picture and identity. The forms state that one is to give up all legal rights to their identity and if you sign the forms you loose all rights to use your identity. The form state that they can do whatever they want with your identity and you have no legal recourse. This is identity theft!. In addition, this is a minor prize so why would one want to do this. I have won several valuable grand prizes and have never received an affidavit where I had to give up all legal rights to my identity. The forms state that the company can do whatever they want with your identity including posting it on all forms of media and selling the identity to 3rd parties. The forms also states that if you attempt to undermine what they do with your identity you will be taken to court. My advice is to not enter their promotions. All this for 1 delivery of ice cream and a few items totaling $110.
 
wow ! Thanks for the heads up! i really love dippin dots but dont think I will be entering anymore .... But congrats on your win!

Correction - looking at NeweggBusiness.com rules I saw:
