16. Instagram & Pokémon Disclosures
This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram or The Pokémon Company. You understand you are providing your information to Sponsor and not to Instagram or The Pokémon Company.
AMOE: do you need it?
Because your entry is completely free on Instagram (follow/like/comment; no purchase), an additional AMOE is generally not required for a U.S. sweepstakes. Many brands still include a simple email/webform AMOE as a belt-and-suspenders precaution (and to allow people without Instagram to enter). You’re fine to proceed without AMOE given your setup. If you later want one, I can generate a one-page AMOE form for your store.
