Trips completed prior to the entrant\u2019s registration date will be counted retroactively. A trip is considered valid when both the departure and return of the bicycle have been confirmed in the BIXI Montr\u00e9al system, in accordance with the BIXI terms of service in force. <\/p>\n 3.4<\/strong> The following are excluded from the entry count: a) cancelled or incomplete trips, including where the bicycle was not returned within the time limits set out in the BIXI Montr\u00e9al terms of service; b) trips completed outside the Eligibility Period; and c) trips obtained fraudulently or in a manner contrary to the BIXI Montr\u00e9al terms of service. <\/p>\n 3.5<\/strong> BIXI Montr\u00e9al reserves the right to verify the accuracy of any entry count and to determine the final number of entries attributed to each entrant.

PRIZE <\/strong><\/p>\n 4.1<\/strong> For every one hundred (100) cumulative trips recorded across the entire BIXI Montr\u00e9al network during the Eligibility Period, Wealthsimple will contribute one dollar ($1.00) to a cumulative prize pool (the \u201cPrize Pool<\/strong>\u201d). The Contest winner will be entitled to receive the total value of the Prize Pool, which will be deposited into a Wealthsimple account in their name (the \u201cPrize<\/strong>\u201d). <\/p>\n 4.2<\/strong> The maximum value of the Prize Pool is $150,000.00, equivalent to 15,000,000 cumulative trips. The count is cumulative and continuous throughout the Eligibility Period. For reference, during the period from May 1 to October 31, 2025, 12,447,874 cumulative trips were recorded, which would have corresponded to a Prize Pool of $124,479.00. <\/p>\n 4.3<\/strong> The value of the Prize Pool is displayed on the BIXI Montr\u00e9al website for informational purposes only. The displayed value may not reflect the exact real-time amount. The final amount of the Prize Pool will be calculated at the end of the Eligibility Period and will constitute the actual value of the Prize. The odds of winning vary as the total number of eligible entries recorded increases during the Eligibility Period. A personalized block integrated into the BIXI Montr\u00e9al bi-monthly newsletter will indicate to each entrant the number of entries accumulated in their name and the current value of the Prize Pool. <\/p>\n 5.
