of a state that deems him/her to be a minor, prize may be awarded in the name
of his/her parent/legal guardian.
Winner need not be present to win and will be notified via the valid Email address provided during Entry.
Except where prohibited by law, potential Winners (or his/her parent or legal guardian, if a minor) are required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and a Publicity Release ("Affidavit/Release"). Affidavit/Release must be returned by email within ten (10) days of receipt by potential Winner or potential Winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential Winner will be selected. By returning a completed Affidavit/Release, potential Winners attest to the authenticity of their Entry. If a potential Winner does not respond within ten (10) days of notification, responds with incomplete information, if he/she is found to be ineligible, or if he/she cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential Winner will be selected.
Winner notification will adhere to the following schedule:
Initial notification and request for Affidavit/Release will be sent to potential Winners by Sweepstakes Administrator within two (2) business days of selecting each potential Winner.
Complete response to Sweepstakes Administrator’s request for Affidavit/Release is required from potential Winner within five (5) days of initial notification.
If no complete response to the initial request for Affidavit/Release is received by Sweepstakes Administrator within five (5) days of initial notification, a reminder email will be sent.
If there is no complete response to the reminder
email within five (5) days of being sent, potential Winner will be deemed to
have forfeited any and all right, title, and interest in Prize and potential
Winner will be notified by email of such occurrence. An alternate potential
Winner will then be selected. A maximum of one potential alternate Winner will
be drawn for every Prize which, if not awarded as set forth above, will remain
the property of Sponsor.
