No matter the manner of access, a person is only allowed one (1) entry. The same person may be disqualified for entering the contest more than once if they make subsequent attempts to submit duplicate entries.

The only contributions that can be entered into the sweepstakes are those that are made within the sweepstakes period. Other entry methods won’t be permitted. Every entry becomes the Sponsor’s property and will not be returned. Only individuals may enter; commercial enterprises and other business entities are ineligible. Any entry that uses a fictitious identity will be disqualified. Sponsor is not liable for entries that are not received as a result of internet access issues, service interruptions or delays, computer issues, or other technical issues.

Entries are subject to any limits or requirements for eligibility specified above that may be in effect. The person whose email address or phone number is provided at the time of registration and qualification will be regarded to be the entry’s maker. The same email address cannot be used by more than one participant. If more than one person uses the same email address or mobile phone number to enter the sweepstakes and a disagreement later arises about who entered, the entrant will be determined to be the Authorized Account Holder of said email address or mobile phone at the time of registration. The term “authorized account holder” refers to a natural person who has been given a mobile phone number or email address by a company that provides Internet access, online services, phone services, or another company that manages the domain connected with the supplied email address. For online entries, the website administrator shall not deem evidence of submission to be evidence of receipt. The computer that runs the website will, when appropriate, be considered the official timekeeper for the Sweepstakes promotion. If entries are discovered to be incomplete or if the sponsor finds, in its sole judgment, that a single participant submitted numerous entries in violation of the sweepstakes rules, the entries will be invalidated.

Entries that are postmarked beyond the deadline, that are late, lost, stolen, mutilated, tampered with, illegible, incomplete, mechanically reproduced, inaccurate, forgeries, irregular in any way, or that otherwise do not adhere to these Official Rules will be invalidated. All submissions pass to the Sponsor and won’t be acknowledged or given back.

WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: On or about October 25, 2022 (the “Selection Date”), the Sponsor will choose the prize winner(s) (collectively, the “Winner”) by random drawing or from among all eligible entries. The email address provided in the entry will be used to contact the winner. As soon as the Sponsor sends the communication, it will be regarded that the Winner has been notified. Within seven (7) days after the notification attempt, the chosen winner(s) must react (as instructed) to the notification. Only submissions received by the Sponsor during the Sweepstakes Period will be deemed eligible entries. The likelihood of winning is based on the quantity of valid entries submitted.

Except at Sponsor’s discretion, no prize or cash substitute is allowed. The Prize cannot be transferred. If the Prize cannot be given out due to reasons beyond the control of the Sponsor, a substitute Prize of equal or greater retail value will be given out; however, if a Prize is given out but not claimed by the Winner or is forfeited by the Winner, the Prize, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, may not be given out again. Sponsor maintains the right to select only the indicated number of prizes from among all eligible, valid, and unclaimed prize claims in the event that additional prizes than those specified become available for any reason.

The winner, if any, of the prize will be declared ineligible if they are unable to validate the information they provided with their entry. Before all such fully completed and notarized Prize Claim Documents are sent to Sponsor, the Prize will not be granted. Prize(s) will be awarded to the parent or legal guardian of the eligible participant who is a minor in the state of residency, who must sign and return all necessary Prize Claim Documents. If the prize claim forms are not received by the deadline, the sponsor may choose an alternative winner to receive the prize.
