Terms and conditions for the Google Nexus One / Unity Pro for Android bundle promotion are as follows:

Just like it says. Unity Technologies will offer the bundle to the first 500 pre-orders based on time and date of purchase.

We'll try to ship you a phone most places, but if we can't for good reason, we'll offer you a refund. Though all customers worldwide are eligible, Unity Technologies can only ship phones to addresses in the US, Canada, EU / EEA states, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. If Unity Technologies cannot ship a phone to a customer because of taxes, embargoes, FCC restrictions, customs duties and / or fees levied by the destination country, or any other reason, Unity Technologies reserves the right to cancel the order and provide customer with a full refund.

If you're crazy and you try to sue us for doing a nice thing, we'll see you in Denmark. All participating customers agree that this promotion shall be governed by the laws of the state of Denmark.
