BY ENTERING (OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATING IN) THE SWEEPSTAKES, YOU AGREE TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES, WHICH ARE A BINDING CONTRACT, SO READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS CONTRACT INCLUDES INDEMNITIES TO THE SWEEPSTAKES PARTIES FROM YOU AND A LIMITATION OF YOUR RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
1. ELIGIBILITY: The Petco Inaba Journey to Japan Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico who are eighteen (18) years of age or older (nineteen (19) years of age or older in Alabama and Nebraska) and a Petco Perks member as of date of entry. Employees, officers and directors of Petco Animal Supplies Stores, Inc. (“Sponsor”), Realtime Media LLC (“Administrator”), Inaba Foods (USA) Inc. and their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, contest, fulfillment and marketing agencies (collectively, the “Sweepstakes Parties”), their immediate family members and those living in the same household as such individuals (whether legally related or not) are not eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes, win a prize, or claim an offer item. For purposes of this Sweepstakes, immediate family members are defined as spouse, partner, parents, legal guardians, in-laws, grandparents, siblings, children and grandchildren and their respective spouses, and those living in the same household shall mean people who share the same residence at least three (3) months a year, whether legally related or not. Void where prohibited by law. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply. By participating in the Sweepstakes, you unconditionally accept and agree to comply with and abide by these “Official Rules” and the decisions of Sponsor, including the interpretation of these Official Rules, administration of the Sweepstakes, distribution of offer items, selection of the winners, and Sponsor’s exercise of discretion, which will be final, non-appealable, and binding in all respects.
2. TIMING: The Sweepstakes starts on September 15, 2026 at 12:00 a.m. PT and ends on October 3, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT (the “Sweepstakes Period”).
3. HOW TO ENTER: There are two (2) ways to enter the Sweepstakes:
Sponsor is not responsible for any failure of the point-of-sale or online ordering system or inability for a Petco Perks account to be tied to a Qualifying Purchase due to any technical difficulty, network unavailability, connection error, or other technical issue.
The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for technical difficulties of any kind, or for false, incorrect, changed, incomplete or illegible contact information.
Entries generated by artificial intelligence, script, computer programs, macro, programmed, robotic or other automated means are void and may be disqualified. Entries that are incomplete, illegible, corrupted, damaged, destroyed, forged, false, lost, late or misdirected, deceptive, made in such a way with the intention to subvert the integrity of the Sweepstakes, or otherwise not in compliance with the Official Rules may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Those who do not abide by these Official Rules or follow any instructions of Sponsor may be disqualified. Entries submitted by those who do not meet the eligibility requirements (including all requirements with respect to age and residence) are void. In the event of a dispute over the identity of an entrant, entry will be deemed submitted by the registered account holder of the email address associated with such entry, provided that person is eligible. Any potential winner may be required to show proof of being the registered account holder. Registered account holder is defined as the person assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses. In the event that a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.
4. SWEEPSTAKES DRAWING: On or about October 9, 2026, the Administrator will conduct a random drawing to select one (1) potential Grand Prize winner from among all eligible entries received in accordance with these Official Rules.
5. ODDS: Odds of winning a prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.
6. WINNER NOTIFICATION/PRIZE CLAIMING: The potential Winner is subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. The potential winner will be notified via email (or other contact information) using the information associated with their entry in a commercially reasonable time after the drawing. The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for and shall not be liable for incorrect, changed, or illegible contact information or for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering, or insufficient space in entrant’s email or other account to receive messages. Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for late, lost, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential winner. Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately upon the sending of an email. As part of the winner notification process, the potential winner will be required to sign and return a declaration of eligibility/release of liability/prize acceptance agreement (“Declaration”), within three (3) days of date of notification, as a condition of receiving a prize. If notification (including the Declaration) is returned as rejected, faulty, unclaimed or returned as undeliverable to the potential winner; or if the potential winner cannot be contacted within a reasonable time period, fails or refuses to sign and return the Declaration within the required time period, and/or the potential winner is ineligible or otherwise fails to fully comply with these Official Rules; the potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner will be selected at random from among all remaining eligible entries, up to three (3) alternates, after which the applicable prize will remain un-awarded.
No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim prizes in excess of the one Grand Prize set forth in these Official Rules, the winner of the Grand Prize may be selected in a random drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such Grand Prize. Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant’s sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances.
7. PRIZE/PRIZE RESTRICTIONS: The prize to be awarded in this Sweepstakes is:
One (1) Grand Prize: The “Grand Prize” consists of a seven (7) day/six (6) night trip for the Grand Prize winner (“winner”) and one (1) travel guest (“Guest”) to Tokyo, Japan.

The winner and Guest may be required to execute additional releases relating to such photography, filming, recording, and use as a condition of participating in applicable Grand Prize activities.
The winner and Guest are solely responsible for all expenses not expressly included in the Grand Prize, including, without limitation, transportation other than as specified above, meals and beverages not covered by the food/travel stipend, gratuities, incidental hotel expenses, baggage fees, travel insurance, passport and visa fees, and personal expenses. Sponsor is not responsible for any canceled, delayed, diverted, postponed, or rescheduled transportation, excursion, activity, or other Grand Prize component, or for any other act or omission of any airline, hotel, transportation provider, excursion provider, or other third party providing any Grand Prize component. No refund or compensation will be provided for any Grand Prize component not used by the winner or Guest.
The actual value of the Grand Prize may vary depending on the winner’s point of departure, travel dates, airfare and hotel fluctuations, and other factors. Any difference between the stated ARV and actual value of the Grand Prize will not be awarded, except for the $3,000 tax offset check expressly included as part of the Grand Prize.
The Grand Prize is non-transferable and may not be substituted or redeemed for cash, except that Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute the Grand Prize or any portion thereof with a prize or prize component of equal or greater value if the advertised Grand Prize or any portion thereof becomes unavailable for any reason.

Grand Prize details and availability are subject to change and are subject to applicable rules and restrictions. The Grand Prize is awarded “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose).
The winner will be solely responsible for all federal, state, and/or local taxes and for any other fees or costs associated with the Grand Prize received, regardless of whether the Grand Prize, in whole or in part, is used. The value of the Grand Prize awarded to the winner will be reported for tax purposes as required by law. The winner will be required to provide Sponsor with a valid Social Security number before the Grand Prize will be awarded for tax reporting purposes. An IRS Form 1099 will be issued in the name of the winner for the actual value of the Grand Prize received.
Any unclaimed Grand Prize will be forfeited. The Grand Prize, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated, or stolen Grand Prize component or any Grand Prize component that is undeliverable or does not reach the winner because of incorrect or changed contact information. If the winner does not accept or use the entire Grand Prize, the unaccepted or unused portion of the Grand Prize will be forfeited, and the Sweepstakes Parties will have no further obligation with respect to that portion of the Grand Prize. Limit of one (1) prize per person.

12. GOVERNING LAW AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules or the rights and obligations of entrants, Sponsor or the Released Parties in connection with the Sweepstakes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other laws.
BY ENTERING THE SWEEPSTAKES, ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (B) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; (C) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; AND (D) ENTRANTS’ REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A CLAIM FOR MONEY DAMAGES (IF ANY) AND ENTRANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in the State of California, and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury, and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Sweepstakes shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in the State of California. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
14. ENTRY INFORMATION AND SWEEPSTAKES COMMUNICATIONS: As a condition of entering the Sweepstakes, each entrant gives consent for Sponsor to obtain and deliver his or her name, address, and other information to third parties for the purpose of administering this Sweepstakes and to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and rules. Any information entrant provides to Sponsor may be used to communicate with entrant in relation to this Sweepstakes or on a Sweepstakes winner’s list. By participating in the Sweepstakes, entrant agrees to all of the terms and conditions of the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy, which is available at https://www.petco.com/privacy-policy. In the event of any discrepancy between the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy and these Official Rules, these Official Rules shall control and govern.
15. MISCELLANEOUS: The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Official Rules is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision hereof. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use on any website, social media platform or application and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
