By submitting an entry to the Contest, Entrant agrees to be bound by these Terms and Ooma’s Privacy Policy.

Winner Selection. Ooma will choose one (1) contest winner from the pool of Entrants meeting Section 2 criteria. Ooma will consider business story, innovation, creativity, growth, achievement, community impact, customer experience, and other skill-based judging criteria when selecting a winner. The winner will be notified by Ooma on or around June 15, 2026. Ooma reserves the right to choose an alternate winner and revoke a prize award upon written notice to prospective contest winner(s) if a winner cannot be contacted at the addresses provided, fails to respond to Ooma within a commercially reasonable time period, is found to be ineligible after the date that it is selected as a winner, or fails to execute required releases or provide reasonably requested information necessary to administer the Contest or deliver the prize.

Prize. The winner will receive a waiver of recurring monthly Ooma Office service charges for a period of twelve (12) months, including base subscription fees, applicable taxes, regulatory fees, and rental hardware charges, but excluding usage-based charges, prepaid services, and add-on features (the “Waiver”). The Waiver will be calculated based on the winning account’s subscription plan, number of users, and rented hardware as of the date the winner is selected. Any upgrades, additional users, additional hardware, or other increases in service after such date may not be included in the Waiver and Ooma reserves the right to bill such additional fees at standard rates. Downgrades or reductions in service will not result in any cash refund or credit. Subject to Section 6 of this Agreement, the winner will also receive a digital award badge from Ooma, be featured on Ooma’s social media profiles, and take part in a professional video spotlight prepared at Ooma’s expense. The Contest prize is non-transferable and not redeemable for cash or substitution except at Ooma’s sole discretion.

-
Miscellaneous. You may not assign your rights or delegate your duties under these Terms without Ooma’s written consent. No waiver or proposed modification or amendment to any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless agreed in writing by Ooma. Ooma’s failure to enforce any right afforded to it under these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that right. These Terms, together with any incorporated exhibits, agreements, and terms of service represent the entire agreement of you and Ooma respecting, and supersede all prior written and/or oral communications regarding, the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms expressly exclude any additional terms that you may present to us in any form, including those located in an order form generated by you.

Any singular term herein includes the plural, and vice versa. As used herein, “include,” “includes” or “including” mean “including without limitation.” References to “free” on Ooma promotional materials exclude equipment costs, taxes, and fees, and will be narrowly construed to mean that Entrant will receive a waiver of its base subscription fee at the subscription tier applicable to Entrant at the time of contest entry.
