Generator Supercenter 20th Anniversary Drawing
Generator Supercenter is celebrating its 20th Anniversary with a $20,000.00 drawing for franchisee Employees! We will award 10 prizes of $2,000 each to 10 Employees across all of our franchisee locations. Employees will receive entries based on years of service (one entry for each completed or partial year). The longer your tenure with the franchisee, the more chances you will have to win. To spread the winnings across the franchisees, each Employee will only be eligible to win once. Employees must be employed on the date of the drawing and in good standing with the franchisee as of the date of the drawing to be eligible.
Please be sure to read the details below for more details and instructions on opting out if you prefer not to participate.
Give Away Terms and Conditions (a/k/a the “Fine Print”)
BY ENTERING THE DRAWING FRANCHISEE EMPLOYEES AGREE TO BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS SET FORTH BELOW.
Definitions: GSF shall mean Generator Supercenter Franchising, LLC, the franchisor. Employee shall mean an individual employed by a GSF franchisee on a full-time or part-time basis under an at-will employment arrangement. Contractors, temporary workers, and other individuals are not considered Employees.
Franchisee Acknowledgement: Employees acknowledge by participating in the drawing that they are not employees of Generator Supercenter Franchising, LLC and that they have no employment relationship with it.
Prizes: As noted above, GSF will award 10 prizes of $2,000.00 each to 10 GSF Employees who fulfill all the conditions of eligibility set forth herein and whose names are drawn as winners across the names of all the entries from all the Employees of all GSF franchisees who participate in the drawing.
Participating Franchisees: Each GSF franchisee will be entitled to determine whether to participate in the drawing. Franchisees choosing to participate must provide information reasonably requested by GSF regarding the franchisee’s Employees tenure and eligibility as set forth in these terms and conditions on a timely basis. If required information is not provided on a timely basis, GSF reserves the right to exclude the franchisee from the drawing.
Payment: Employees receiving prizes will receive payment within 30 days of delivery of the required tax documentation (see the section on Taxes), by check delivered to the GSF franchisee owner for transfer to the winner.
Taxes: Inasmuch as GSF would like to offer these prizes without tax, the government requires the company to report the payments on winnings from this drawing. Employees who collect a prize from the drawing will receive an IRS Form 1099 MISC for the winning amount. The winning Employees are required to submit a completed IRS form W-9 within 30 days of notification of winning. Note, payment cannot be made until the required W-9 is received. Winning Employees who fail to submit the required W-9 will forfeit their prize and the money will be donated to an appropriate charity.
Employee Eligibility: All Employees of a GSF franchisee as of the date of the drawing who are in good standing with their franchisee as of the date of the drawing shall be eligible to participate in the drawing. An Employee’s good standing shall be determined by the Employee’s supervisor, in their sole discretion.
Number of Wins: Each Employee will be eligible to receive one prize. If an Employee’s name is drawn more than once, GSF will give the Employee acknowledgement for their good fortune (but no additional prize). Additional names will be drawn until a person has not yet received a prize wins. In the extremely unlikely event that all participating Employees receive a prize, a bonus round of additional drawings will be conducted to determine a second chance for all winners to receive a prize restarting the drawing process from the beginning.
Drawing Process: The drawings will be completed in a live event conducted under the supervision of Matthew Metcalfe and witnessed by a third-party non-Employee for verification purposes.
Notification: Though everyone is encouraged to tune in for the drawing event, GSF acknowledges that not all Employees will be able to do so. Employees who receive a prize will be notified by email within 24 hours of completion of the drawing.
Entries \ Years of Service: Years of service will be determined based on Employee anniversary beginning on the first anniversary of hire with a year added for the current incomplete year of service. By way of example, an Employee hired in December 2020 would receive five entries – one for each completed year and one for the incomplete portion of 2025.
Right of Refusal \ Donation: Employees may choose not to participate in the drawing for any reason. Employees wishing not to participate should make their request know to Ken Devine by email to [email protected] on or before September 15, 2025. Employees who receive a prize, may decline the prize after receipt by suggesting a charity or co-worker for the prize in their stead. These decisions will be confidential. In the event a prize is unclaimed, GSF will donate the prize money to an appropriate charity.
Unexpected Developments: GSF has tried to anticipate most of the possible hang-ups or issues that might arise as part of the drawing. Unfortunately, GSF is not clairvoyant and cannot think of everything. In the event of something unexpected, GSF will defer to Matthew Metcalfe to make the best decision he can for everyone. All Employees who choose to participate in the drawing agree that Matthew Metcalfe shall be the final arbiter of the rules for the drawing and shall resolve any uncertainty in his sole discretion.
Disputes: If any dispute arises between any Employee and GSF as a result of the drawing, each party agrees to take the dispute to arbitration before a single independent arbitrator (but not AAA). The parties agree that arbitration shall be conducted under the Federal Arbitration Act.
Applicable Law, Forum, and Venue: Any dispute concerning the drawing shall be governed and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to the conflicts of laws or principles thereof. Employee and GSF agree that Texas shall be the forum for any action or suit related to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim affecting its validity, construction, effect, performance or termination. GSF and Employee further agree that the venue for any such action or suit which is not required to be arbitrated under this Agreement shall exclusively be the state or federal courts sitting in Harris County, Texas.
Winner’s List: Even though this is not a formal legal “sweepstakes,” GSF will provide an Employee winner’s list to any Employee who misses the live stream event.
