What Nth is

Nth is software, run by Bob Caine, that turns an ordinary link into a promotion. It counts visits to that link, picks a winning position at random before each round starts, and sends everyone else on to wherever the link was always going.

Every promotion has its own Official Rules page. Those rules govern that promotion. If anything here disagrees with a promotion’s Official Rules, the Official Rules win.

If you followed a link

Following a promotion link is an entry. You do not need an account and you do not need to buy anything; buying something does not improve your chances.

Most visits do not win. Whether a visit wins depends only on whether it lands on the position drawn at random before that round began.

The prize is provided by that promotion’s sponsor, who is named in its Official Rules — not by Nth, unless the sponsor named there is Bob Caine. Claims about a prize should go to that sponsor.

Do not use automated means to enter, and do not try to work out or manipulate the winning position. An entry obtained that way may be voided, as the Official Rules describe.

If you run promotions on Nth

Access is by invitation while Nth is being tested. You are responsible for the promotions you create: for the prize and for delivering it, for the destination your link points to, and for the promotion being lawful where you and your entrants are. Sweepstakes and prize promotions are regulated differently from place to place, and Nth does not check that for you.

You are named as the sponsor on your promotions’ Official Rules, and the contact details you give appear there. Keep them accurate.

Nth counts the visits, draws the winning position, publishes the rules, and tells you when there is a winner. It does not fund prizes, ship them, or take responsibility for whether a promotion suits your purpose.

Do not use Nth for anything unlawful, or to run a promotion you cannot honour. An account used that way may be suspended.

Availability

Nth is offered as it is, while it is being tested, with no promise that it will always be available or free of faults. It may change, and it may stop. Where it matters — a promotion already running, a prize already won — reasonable notice will be given and the Official Rules for a promotion stay readable.

Nothing here limits any right you have that cannot be limited by agreement.

Privacy and contact

What is recorded, what is hashed, and how long it is kept are set out on the privacy page.
