Official Rules
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. Void outside the 50 United States and District of Columbia, in U.S. territories and possessions, and where prohibited by law. Subject to applicable federal, state and local laws. The Jade Leaf Matcha Gold Tin Sweepstakes (individually and plurally, the “Sweepstakes”) will be conducted as Fifteen (15) Separate Sweepstakes with separate start and end dates (“Entry Periods”), drawing schedules, and prizes. The first Entry Period begins November 16, 2026, at 9:00:00 a.m. Eastern Time (6:00:00 a.m. Pacific Time), and the last Entry Period ends December 31, 2026, at 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time (“PT”) (the “Sweepstakes Period”). Each Sweepstakes starts and ends on the date and time set forth in Section 4 below. Entries received outside the Sweepstakes Period will not be accepted. Except for the opening time expressly stated above, all times and calendar days in these Official Rules are measured in PT.
1. ELIGIBILITY: The Sweepstakes is open to all legal U.S. residents currently residing in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years old and the age of majority in their state of residence as of the date of entry. Employees, officers, directors, representatives, and agents of Jade Leaf, LLC (“Sponsor”) or any of their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, representatives, consultants, contractors, legal counsel, advertising, public relations, promotional, fulfillment, and marketing agencies, web site providers, web masters, (collectively, the “Sweepstakes Entities”) and members of their immediate families (husband, wife, spouse, common-law partner, son, stepson, son-in-law, daughter, stepdaughter, daughter-in-law, sister, stepsister, sister-in-law, brother, stepbrother, brother-in-law, mother, stepmother, mother-in-law, father, stepfather, or father-in-law, regardless of where they live) and those living in the same household are not eligible to enter or win.

Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. Sponsor reserves the right to verify the eligibility of winners.
2. SPONSOR /ADMINISTRATOR: Jade Leaf, LLC, 21500 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 600, Aventura, FL 33180.
3. HOW TO ENTER: During the Sweepstakes Period, enter using either of the following methods:
(a) Purchase Entry. An eligible individual who places an order containing at least one 30g Organic Ceremonial Matcha Teahouse Edition Tin at jadeleafmatcha.com will automatically receive one (1) entry, subject to the combined daily entry limit below. Qualifying orders include one-time purchases, initial subscription orders and recurring subscription orders processed during the Sweepstakes Period. Subscription enrollment alone does not create an entry. Entries are credited on the date the qualifying order is successfully processed, as recorded by Sponsor’s system in PT. Entries are considered only during the applicable Entry Period and do not carry forward into additional or subsequent Entry Periods. Purchasing multiple tins or placing multiple orders does not increase the daily entry limit.
(b) Free Online Entry. To enter without purchasing, visit jadeleafmatcha.com/pages/gold-tin-free-entry, complete the entry form with your first and last name, email address, mailing address and required eligibility confirmations, and submit the form during the Sweepstakes Period. Each valid submission provides one (1) entry, subject to the same combined daily entry limit. Any personal information supplied by you to the Sponsor will be subject to Sponsor’s privacy policy, posted at jadeleafmatcha.com/policies/privacy-policy and the Terms of Service for the Website. By participating in a Sweepstakes using the free online method of entry, you authorize Sponsor to communicate with you by email regarding the Sweepstakes. No purchase, subscription or marketing enrollment is required.
Combined Limit. Limit one (1) entry per person per calendar day, from 12:00:00 a.m. through 11:59:59 p.m. PT, across both methods combined, except that entries on November 16, 2026, begin at 6:00:00 a.m. PT. If multiple otherwise valid entries are received from the same person on the same day, only the first will count; additional entries will be disregarded. Both methods enter the same drawing pool and receive equal treatment. Entries are assigned to the applicable Entry Period in Section 4. Limit one (1) Prize per person and per household during the Sweepstakes. ADDITIONAL ENTRIES WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. Automated free-form submissions, bulk submissions and entries submitted by third parties on another person’s behalf are prohibited. Automatic purchase entries generated by Sponsor under these Official Rules are permitted. No copies, facsimiles, or mechanical reproductions of the Entry Form will be accepted. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple and/or different identities, forms, registrations, email addresses, logins, or any other methods will void that participant’s plays and/or entries, and that participant may be disqualified at Sponsor’s and/or Administrator’s discretion. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address. In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the registrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder to the Sponsor and/or the Administrator or forfeit the prize. Entries specifying an invalid, non-working, or inactive email address will be disqualified and ineligible to win. You must complete all required information to be eligible to enter. Incomplete, illegible, corrupted, or untimely entries are void and will be disqualified.
Personal information will be used to administer the Sweepstakes, verify eligibility, contact potential winners and fulfill Prizes, as described in Section 10. Sweepstakes participation does not enroll an entrant in email or SMS marketing. Any new marketing enrollment will be separately presented, optional and subject to applicable consent requirements. Existing marketing preferences are unaffected.
4. HOW PRIZE IS AWARDED: Sponsor will conduct fifteen (15) separate random drawings using a computerized random-selection tool. For each Entry Period below, one (1) potential winner will be selected from all eligible entries received during that period, excluding individuals who have already won a Prize. Purchase entries and free entries will be combined into the same drawing pool. Nonwinning entries do not carry forward to additional or subsequent Entry Periods; an eligible individual may enter again on a subsequent day, subject to the entry limits. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received for the applicable Entry Period. Drawings will occur on or about the dates below.

Each Entry Period begins at 12:00:00 a.m. PT on its first date and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. PT on its final date, except the first period begins at 6:00:00 a.m. PT on November 16, 2026. If an Entry Period has no eligible entries, its unawarded Prize will be awarded through a separate random drawing conducted together with the next drawing that has eligible entries, subject to the one-Prize-per-person and per-household limit. Any remaining unawarded Prize after the final drawing will be awarded through an additional random drawing from all eligible nonwinning entrants, subject to the one-Prize-per-person and per-household limit.
VERIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNER: All potential winners are subject to verification by Sponsor and/or Administrator, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. An entrant is not a winner of any prize unless and until entrant’s eligibility has been verified and entrant has been notified that verification is complete.
NOTIFICATION AND CLAIMS: Sponsor will notify each potential winner by email at the address associated with the winning entry within five (5) business days after the applicable drawing. Sponsor may also send a gold tin containing a QR code directing the recipient to the claim form. Free-entry potential winners will receive their gold tin at the mailing address provided with entry, at no charge. A potential winner may claim through the QR-code form on the tin or by following Sponsor’s email instructions; receipt of the physical tin alone does not claim the Prize. Submitting a photo of the gold tin is optional and is not required to claim the Prize; any photo submitted may be used by Sponsor as described in Section 8(b). Potential winners must comply with Sponsor’s Prize-acceptance instructions and meet eligibility criteria to be confirmed as a Prize winner. If a potential winner is ineligible, declines the Prize or fails to complete the claim requirements by the deadline, the potential winner may keep the promotional gold tin at no cost.
Each potential winner must respond and complete the required eligibility and Prize-acceptance information no later than 11:59:59 p.m. PT on January 31, 2027. This deadline is binding on all potential winners, regardless of when the potential winner was contacted by Sponsor or received a gold tin. Sponsor will send at least one reminder email at least seven (7) calendar days before that deadline. Sponsor may require a signed eligibility declaration and liability/publicity release, where lawful, within the same period.
If a potential winner is ineligible, declines the Prize or fails to complete the claim requirements by the deadline, Sponsor will select an alternate potential winner randomly from the remaining eligible entries for that entry period and apply the same notification and claim procedure. If that pool is exhausted, Sponsor will select an alternate randomly from all eligible nonwinning entrants, subject to the one-Prize-per-person limit. Any alternate potential winner will have until the January 31, 2027 deadline or thirty (30) calendar days from the date of Sponsor’s email notice to claim the prize, whichever is later.
A lost, damaged, returned or undelivered gold-tin shipment does not automatically invalidate an otherwise valid winning entry that is properly claimed within the applicable deadline. Sponsor will use its records to verify the selection and arrange appropriate replacement or fulfillment. No purchase, payment, social-media post, review or marketing enrollment is required to claim or receive a Prize.
5. PRIZES: Fifteen (15) Prizes will be awarded. Each Prize consists of twelve (12) 30g Organic Ceremonial Matcha Teahouse Edition tins, including one (1) gold tin as part of—not additional to—the twelve-tin Prize supply. “A year’s supply” means twelve (12) tins, totaling 360 labeled servings; actual duration depends on use. ARV: $323.88 per Prize, based on $26.99 per tin. Total ARV of all Prizes: $4,858.20. Any product purchased by an entrant is separate from the Prize and does not reduce the Prize quantity. Limit one (1) Prize per person and per household.
Sponsor will cover standard shipping to the winner’s eligible U.S. address. Prizes will be fulfilled in one shipment within thirty (30) days after verification and completion of the claim requirements. Any gold tin already delivered as part of the Prize counts toward the twelve-tin total.
PRIZE RESTRICTIONS: Limit one (1) prize per person and per household. Any and all applicable federal, state, and local taxes and all fees and expenses related to acceptance and use of prize not specifically stated herein are the responsibility solely of winner. Prize cannot be substituted, assigned, transferred, or redeemed for cash; however, Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value at its sole discretion. Shipment problems will be addressed under Section 4. Sponsor is not responsible for loss or theft after confirmed delivery, except as required by law. Prize cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion or offer. Only fifteen (15) Prizes as stated in these Official Rules are available to be won in the Sweepstakes. If, by reason of a print or other error, more prizes are claimed than the number set forth in these Official Rules, an alternate winner will be selected in accordance with the winner selection method described above from among all eligible claimants making purportedly valid claims to award the advertised number of prizes available.
6. GENERAL CONDITIONS: This Sweepstakes is governed by the law of the State of Delaware. Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and to Sponsor’s and/or Administrator’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Sponsor, Administrator and their agencies are not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, damaged, stolen, misdirected, or illegible entries; lost, interrupted, or unavailable network, server, or other connections, garbled transmissions or miscommunications, telephone transmission problems; computer or software malfunctions or damage to a user’s computer equipment (software or hardware); technical failures; or other errors or malfunctions of any kind whether human, mechanical, electronic, or otherwise. Proof of sending or submission of entry will not be deemed proof of receipt by Sponsor and/or Administrator. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
7. WARNING: ANY ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SWEEPSTAKES OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAW, AND, SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO PROSECUTE AND SEEK DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be attempting to tamper with or undermine the entry process and/or the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes; to violate the Official Rules; or to act in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner or with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other person. If, for any reason, the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, void any suspect entries and (a) cancel or terminate the Sweepstakes (or any portion thereof); (b) modify the Sweepstakes or suspend the Sweepstakes to address the impairment and then resume the Sweepstakes in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules; and/or (c) award the remaining Prizes by random drawing from eligible, non-suspect entries received before the impairment, respecting the entry-period allocations in Section 4 to the extent practicable and permitted by law.

9. DISPUTES; MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER:
PLEASE READ THESE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF (LEAD OR OTHERWISE) OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES) AND MUST FOLLOW THESE RULES AS A COURT WOULD.
(1) Scope of Arbitration Agreement
ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES, OR CLAIMS (“DISPUTES”) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR. YOU AGREE THAT SPONSOR AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JURY EXCEPT THAT (A) YOU MAY SEEK RELIEF IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY AND (B) YOU OR SPONSOR MAY SEEK EQUITABLE RELIEF IN COURT FOR INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (SUCH AS TRADEMARKS, TRADE DRESS, DOMAIN NAMES, TRADE SECRETS AND PATENTS). YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS BUT MAY BE CONSOLIDATED WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS PURSUANT TO THE JAMS, INC. (“JAMS”) RULES CITED BELOW. CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND CLASS ARBITRATION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, NOTHING HEREIN PRECLUDES YOU FROM BRINGING ISSUES TO THE ATTENTION OF FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL AGENCIES.
(2) Governing Law
The Federal Arbitration Act, codified at 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. In all other respects, the laws of the State of Delaware shall control without regard to conflicts of law principles. For California consumers, the laws of the State of California (without regard to conflicts of law principles) shall control the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and these Rules.
(3) Pre-Arbitration and Arbitration Procedures and Rules
If you have a Dispute, you agree to first contact us by email at support@jadeleaf.com to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. If your Dispute cannot be resolved through such informal process or through negotiation within sixty (60) days, you and Sponsor agree to resolve the Dispute through binding and final arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement instead of through court proceedings unless permitted by this Arbitration Agreement.
Unless modified by this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures located at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration for individual claims totaling less than $250,000, and the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures located at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ for all other claims. The JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines located at https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures shall apply to all qualifying mass arbitrations. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will agree upon an alternative arbitral forum.
(4) Arbitration Forum
The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the applicable rule-making authority or by the arbitrator.
(5) Authority of the Arbitrator
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement; (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable; and (c) resolve all Disputes within the scope of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have, including to grant temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief), and relief providing for specific performance of these Rules. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Sponsor. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(6) Jury Trial Waiver
YOU AND SPONSOR HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST.
(7) No Class Action or Class Arbitrations Permitted
YOU AND SPONSOR AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. This means that neither you nor Sponsor may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else in this Arbitration Agreement, individual arbitrations may be consolidated pursuant to applicable JAMS rules, and the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines located at https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures shall apply to all qualifying mass arbitrations. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement, including this section, is intended to limit the relief available to you in small claims court. Nor does anything in this section limit your or Sponsor’s ability to resolve a Dispute by mutual agreement through a class-wide settlement of claims whether through mediation or otherwise.
(8) Severability and Survival
If any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement and the Rules shall continue in full force and effect. The Arbitration Agreement survives the termination of your relationship with Sponsor.
(9) 30 Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out by emailing us at support@jadeleaf.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the Sweepstakes, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement. If you timely opt out of these arbitration provisions, Sponsor also will not be bound by them.
This section of the Rules will survive the termination of your relationship with Sponsor.
10. PRIVACY: Personal information collected in connection with this Sweepstakes will be handled in accordance with Sponsor’s applicable privacy policy at jadeleafmatcha.com/policies/privacy-policy. Sponsor and its service providers may use entry, order and claim information to administer the Sweepstakes, enforce entry limits, verify eligibility, contact potential winners and fulfill Prizes. Marketing enrollment is optional and separate from participation, as described in Section 3.
11. ADDITIONAL RULES AND RESTRICTIONS: In the event an entrant wins the Prize and is later found to be in violation of these Rules, he/she will be required to forfeit the Prize or to reimburse Sponsor for the stated value of the Prize if such violation is discovered after winner has used the Prize. False, fraudulent or deceptive entries or acts shall render entrant ineligible for the Prize.
The Sponsor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, and without notice, terminate the right of any entrant or user of the Website to participate in the Sweepstakes or use the Website.
All entries received become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned or acknowledged.

(a) consents to the publication, reproduction and/or other use of his/her name, address, voice, statements about the Sweepstakes and/or photograph and/or other likeness without further notice or compensation, in any publicity or advertisement carried out by or on behalf of the Sponsor in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, print, broadcast and the Internet;
(b) releases and agrees to defend and indemnify the Released Parties from and against any and all liability, claims, losses, actions or damages of any kind, whether actual, incidental or consequential, for injury (including but not limited to death), damages, losses or expenses arising out of or relating to an entrant’s participation in this Sweepstakes, or the acceptance, possession or use/misuse of Prize or participation in Prize-related activities (including but not limited to activity related thereto);
(c) agrees not to make any claim against any of the Released Parties or against any third party that may result in a claim against any of the Released Parties in respect of any matter in any way relating to or arising in connection with the Sweepstakes; and

The Released Parties are not responsible for the cancellation or postponement of any component of this Sweepstakes or any associated programs and materials.
Sponsor reserves the right, where applicable, to cancel, modify, suspend, or terminate the Sweepstakes, to change any Sweepstakes draw dates and to modify these Rules at any time without notice, for any reason, including, without limitation, if, in the opinion of the Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion:
(a) fraud, misconduct or technical failures destroy or threaten the integrity of any portion of the Sweepstakes;
(b) a computer virus, bug, or other technical problem corrupts the administration, security, or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes; or
(c) there is any accident or printing, administrative or other error of any kind related to the Sweepstakes.
In the event of an early termination of the Sweepstakes, Sponsor reserves the right to determine the remaining Prize winners in random drawings from among all eligible, non-suspect entries received as of the time/date of such termination, respecting the Entry Period allocations in Section 4 to the extent permitted by law.
The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, and without prior notice, to adjust any of the dates and/or timeframes stipulated in these Rules, to the extent necessary, for purposes of verifying compliance by any entrant or entry with these Rules, or as a result of technical problems, or in light of any other circumstances which, in the opinion of the Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, affect the proper administration of the Sweepstakes as contemplated in these Rules.
