Contest Official Rules

PART ONE: ABOUT THIS PASSPORT

The 'Loops Explorer Pass (“Passport”) is a digital savings pass to receive discounts at participating Passport Businesses. Anyone is welcome to participate and redeem, and can create a free account HERE to view participating Passport Businesses.

Passport Users visit participating businesses to receive a pre-established Passport Discount (“Discount”), which is available to view in the 'Loops Explorer Pass anytime.

The Passport Business is the issuer of the Discount and is solely responsible for all matters pertaining to the redemption and use of the Discount. Discounts are redeemable for certain goods, services, or experiences offered by, or facilitated through, the Passport Businesses identified on the Passport website.

Furthermore, the Passport Business is fully and solely responsible for the care and quality of all goods and services it provides to you and for all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs ("Liabilities") it may cause you to suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether related to the use or redemption of a Discount or not.
