All entrants in the contest agree to comply unconditionally with all the provisions set out in these rules and guidelines – any entrant who does not comply will be considered ineligible for participation.

Applicants must be self-pay with no insurance coverage for infertility treatment. The winner will undergo medical evaluation to ensure that IVF is the recommended and appropriate course of treatment for the patient.

What’s Included
The winner of TRM’s Hope for the Holidays Giveaway receives one free in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle to be completed on or before December 31, 2018. The prize is the standard IVF cycle offered by TRM, including treatment scans, laboratory testing, egg and sperm retrieval, fertilization and embryo transfer. Costs for preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), donor or surrogacy services, and/or procedures resulting from unforeseen complications are not included in the giveaway. Auxiliary costs including but not limited to travel to and from the clinic, food, lodging and vehicle rental are also not included in the giveaway.

Winner Selection & Notification
The winner will be awarded via random drawing from a pool of pre-screened applicants. The pool of pre-screened applicants will be determined based on the information provided on the contest application and the ability of the applicant to safely undergo such treatment. Should the information in the application be determined to be falsified or incorrect at any time during the contest, up to and including beginning treatment if chosen as the winner, TRM reserves the right to disqualify the application from the contest.
Judging: Entries will be pre-screened and reviewed by a panel of judges chosen by TRM and will include TRM employees and outside community representatives. The panel will nominate the top candidates (no less than 10% of all entries) for a random drawing.
Random drawing & winner selection: One (1) winner will be notified on or around December 15, 2017. The decisions of the judging panel and the random selection of the winner are final and binding, and not subject to appeal.
Prize acceptance: Winner of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle prize must undergo the IVF cycle on or before December 31, 2018 at TRM’s office at 6031 Shallowford Road, Suite 101 in Chattanooga, TN. The prize is nontransferable. In the event any winner waives their right to receive the prize or the winner is medically incapable of undergoing treatment (i.e. inability to undergo anesthesia, ovaries are not accessible for aspiration of oocytes, etc. based on results of diagnostic testing) at the discretion of TRM physicians and ancillary providers, TRM reserves the right to award any waived prize to another eligible entry.
