STELLAR RETURN OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES
Treasure Valley Forge, LLC — Last Revised on June 11, 2026
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 WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW.
1. Sponsor
Stellar Return contests (each, a “Contest”) are sponsored, operated, and administered by Treasure Valley Forge, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company with a mailing address of 784 S. Clearwater Loop STE B, Post Falls, ID, 83854, USA (the “Sponsor”), unless a specific contest announcement states otherwise. Apple Inc. is not a sponsor of, involved in, or responsible for Stellar Return Contests, prizes, reward delivery, rules, or winner selection.
2. Binding Agreement
By entering any Contest, you agree to these Official Contest Rules (these “Rules”), the Stellar Return Terms of Use, and the Privacy Policy, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, and you agree to be bound by the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to each Contest, subject to applicable law.
3. Eligibility
Each Contest is open only to natural persons who, at the time of entry: (a) are at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence, if higher); (b) are legal residents of, and physically located in, the United States in a jurisdiction where participation is not prohibited by applicable law; (c) maintain a registered Stellar Return account with a verified email address and valid screen name; and (d) have accepted these Rules. The Sponsor may add or remove restricted jurisdictions at any time based on changes in applicable law.
Employees, officers, members, managers, and contractors of the Sponsor, and members of their immediate families or households, are not eligible to win prizes. Only one account is permitted per person; entries submitted through multiple or duplicate accounts will be disqualified. Prize eligibility may require identity, age, residency, tax, payment, and anti-fraud review. Contests are void where prohibited or restricted by law.
4. Contest Period
Each Contest is based on the active contest shown in the App. Daily Contests are intended to rotate at approximately midnight Mountain Time, but timing may vary due to maintenance, outages, or technical issues. The contest clock displayed in the App controls in the event of any discrepancy.
5. How to Enter and Play
Entry is free through the App. To enter the active Contest, create or sign in to your account, verify your email address, select a screen name, accept these Rules, and play the game during the Contest Period. In each run, the player taps to reverse direction and attempts to survive as long as possible without colliding with a planet. Your best validated survival time for the active Contest is submitted to that Contest’s leaderboard. You may play an unlimited number of runs during a Contest Period unless otherwise stated in the App. Viewing or engaging with an advertisement is not a purchase, is not consideration for entry, and does not affect eligibility or outcomes.
6. Skill-Based Contest; Shared Daily Seed
Each Contest is a contest of skill, not a game of chance. Each Contest uses a shared game seed so that eligible players competing in the same Contest receive the same deterministic obstacle sequence, subject to device, display, platform, and technical differences. Because the pseudorandom seed operates identically as to all participants in a given Contest, it does not materially or predominantly determine outcomes. Leaderboard placement is determined by each player’s relative skill, including: (i) reaction time and timing precision in executing direction reversals; (ii) hand-eye coordination and motor control under escalating speed and time pressure; (iii) anticipation and recognition of the deterministic obstacle sequence; (iv) trajectory planning and risk management in selecting when to reverse direction; (v) error avoidance under time pressure; and (vi) competitive practice and improvement, with skilled players consistently outperforming novices given identical contest inputs.
7. Winner Determination; Leaderboard; Ties
The leaderboard for each Contest ranks players by best validated survival time. All scores are subject to server-side validation, anti-cheat review, and eligibility review before any prize is awarded. If two or more players have the same validated survival time, the tied score submitted first ranks higher. If a technical ambiguity remains, the Sponsor may resolve placement using validation data or another fair and equitable method determined by the Sponsor.
8. Prizes
The App displays the prize pool, paid places, and payout schedule for the active Contest before and during the Contest Period. All prizes are established and funded by the Sponsor; prizes are not funded by entry fees (there are none), and the prize schedule is not based on the number of entrants. The approximate retail value of each prize is the cash amount displayed in the App. Prizes are not transferable or assignable and may not be exchanged or substituted, except that the Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value in its discretion.
Prize Delivery. Eligible prizes are delivered through Tremendous (or a successor reward-delivery provider) to the email address associated with the winning account, generally within thirty (30) days following the close of the applicable Contest and completion of all validation, eligibility, anti-fraud, tax, and compliance review. Winners may be required to complete redemption steps specified by the reward-delivery provider. Prizes that remain unclaimed or undeliverable sixty (60) days after the first delivery attempt may be forfeited. The Sponsor is not responsible for incorrect or outdated account email addresses.
9. Verification and Taxes
Potential winners may be required to verify eligibility, identity, age, residency, and location before any prize is awarded, and the Sponsor may withhold any prize pending such verification. The Sponsor tracks the aggregate value of prizes awarded to each participant. If a participant’s aggregate prize winnings total two thousand dollars ($2,000) or more in any calendar year (or such other threshold as applicable law may require, see 26 U.S.C. § 6041), the participant must complete and return an IRS Form W-9 before further prizes will be paid, and the Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC or other applicable tax information return. Failure to provide a completed Form W-9 when required may result in suspension of the participant’s account and the withholding of prizes until compliance, and the Sponsor may withhold from any payment any amount required to be withheld under applicable law, including backup withholding under 26 U.S.C. § 3406. All federal, state, and local taxes on prizes are the sole responsibility of the winner.
10. Disqualification
Scores, accounts, and prizes may be delayed, reviewed, adjusted, removed, withheld, or disqualified for: cheating; use of bots, scripts, automation, or artificial intelligence to play; tampering with the App, client or network requests, or device or network behavior; exploiting bugs; submitting false, altered, or fraudulent scores or data; providing false information; ineligible participation, including participation from a restricted jurisdiction or through location masking; duplicate, multiple, or suspicious accounts; collusion; abusive behavior; or any other violation of these Rules or the Terms of Use. The Sponsor’s determinations regarding disqualification are final.
11. Technical Problems; Cancellation
If technical failures, outages, fraud, errors, or other issues affect the integrity, fairness, or proper administration of a Contest, the Sponsor may pause, extend, cancel, rerun, modify, or resolve the Contest in a manner it believes is fair and lawful. The Sponsor reserves the right to cancel any Contest for any reason before its start without liability to any person. The Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, garbled, or misdirected entries or score submissions; device, network, or platform failures; or errors of any kind, whether human, mechanical, or electronic.
12. Publicity
By participating, you acknowledge that your screen name, scores, leaderboard rank, and eligible payout may be displayed within the App and on Contest leaderboards without additional compensation. The Sponsor will not use your legal name, photograph, or likeness for publicity or promotional purposes without your separate consent, except as required or permitted by law.
13. Release; Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by participating in any Contest, you release and hold harmless the Sponsor and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, and service providers (including reward-delivery and platform providers) from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in a Contest or the receipt, use, or misuse of any prize. The limitations of liability set forth in the Terms of Use apply to these Rules and to each Contest.
14. Disputes; Governing Law
Except where prohibited, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Rules or any Contest are subject to the dispute resolution provisions of the Stellar Return Terms of Use, including the arbitration agreement and class action waiver in Section 10 thereof. These Rules are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
