Official rules
Employee-built apps at work 2026: thank-you cards and draw
No purchase necessary. Nothing is for sale, and nobody pays to enter.
1. Sponsor
RunQL Inc., operating as StackFwd, [address], Waterloo, Ontario, Canada ("StackFwd").
2. Who can enter
People who are 18 or older (or the age of majority where they live, if higher) and live in the United States or in Canada outside Quebec. Not open to StackFwd employees, contractors and their immediate families, or to anyone whose employer doesn't allow them to accept a prize. Void where prohibited.
3. Dates
The draw opens at [time] ET on [date] and closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on [date] (the "close").
4. How to enter
- Survey: finish the survey at survey.stackfwd.com, confirm your work email with the code we send, and tick the box to enter. You get 5 entries.
- Referrals: each person who finishes the survey from your link and confirms their own work email earns you 5 more entries, or 10 if they work at the same company as you in a different group (business team, business leader, or IT). Referral entries count for up to 20 people, and up to 5 of them can share your email domain.
One survey per email address. Personal email addresses can't be used. Before anyone gets a card or can win, StackFwd checks that their email belongs to a real company; people from companies we can't confirm aren't eligible. Answers that look automated or rushed are held for review and may not count. StackFwd may disqualify entries it reasonably believes were made by bots, by false or borrowed addresses, or by any other attempt to game the draw.
5. Prize
One prize: Apple AirPods Pro 3, approximate retail value US$249. No substitution, except that StackFwd may give a prize of equal or greater value if this one isn't available. Apple is not a sponsor of this draw.
5a. Thank-you cards (separate from the draw)
The first [500] people who finish the survey, confirm their work email and tick the box get a $5 Tim Hortons or Starbucks e-gift card (CAD if their company is headquartered in Canada, USD otherwise), sent by email after their company is confirmed. One card per person, and up to 10 cards per company. When the cards run out, the survey page says so.
6. Odds and the draw
The odds depend on the number of entries received. Within 7 days of the close, StackFwd draws one winner at random, weighted by entries. We contact the winner at the email they used. If they don't reply within 7 days, can't be reached, or don't meet these rules, we draw again.
7. Before the prize is sent
A Canadian winner must correctly answer a math skill-testing question. Every winner must sign a declaration that they meet these rules and release StackFwd from liability related to the prize. The winner is responsible for any taxes on the prize.
8. Privacy
We use your email only to confirm you, to send you the survey report, to run the draw, and, if you ticked the box, to book a call. We don't send marketing emails. See stackfwd.com/privacy.
9. General
These rules are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, except where the law of the entrant's home state or province requires otherwise. StackFwd may change or cancel the draw if it can't run as planned, and will post any change here.
