Sponsor reserves the right to cancel the Sweepstakes or modify these rules at its discretion. In the event of a dispute regarding the winner, the Sponsor reserves the right to award or not award the prize in its sole discretion.
SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION OF WINNER:
Each qualified entry will be entered into random drawings for a prize to take place on or about the dates listed above. There will be approximately forty prizes drawn at the discretion of the Sponsor. The total approximate value of the prizes being offered are approximately thirteen thousand dollars in value. The approximate value of individual prizes ranges from ten dollars to five thousand dollars. The cash value of each individual prize will be determined entirely at the discretion of Sponsor.
The winner(s) will be notified by email at the email address provided by Entrant. The Prize winner(s) may be called on the night of the Prize drawing. The winner(s) will be required to respond (as directed) within seven (7) days of attempted notification. Failure to respond within seven days of notification will result in forfeiture of the prize and, in such case, Sponsor may randomly select an alternate winner from among the remaining eligible entries. If the winner is under the age of 18, a Release must be co-signed by the winner’s legal parent or guardian. Unless restricted by law, winner(s) will be required to complete and return the Release within fifteen (15) days from the date of notification. By accepting the prize, the Winners grant permission for the Sponsor to use the Winners’ name, photograph(s) and other identifying information at Sponsor’s discretion for future advertising, publications, promotional materials and to post online on Sponsor’s website and social media without compensation, unless prohibited by law. An alternate winner will be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries if a winner: (i) cannot be reached; (ii) fails to obtain all signatures on the Release and to return the documents in a timely manner as required pursuant to these Official Rules; or (iii) cannot accept or receive the prize for any reason. Prize must be picked up or claimed within thirty (30) days of the winning notification.
Sponsor will not be obligated to make multiple attempts to contact the winner. The winner may be issued a 1099 form. Winner(s) are solely responsible for any and all federal, state and local income taxes, fees, assessments and like charges associated with the prize.
In the event of a dispute about the identity of an Entrant, each entry will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at time of entry.
Non-cash prizes may be provided either as actual item(s), or as cash value, entirely at the discretion of Sponsor. All prizes are awarded “as is” and are non-transferable. No substitution or transfer of prize permitted, provided however that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize with another prize of equal or greater value should the advertised prize become unavailable for any reason. If a substitute prize is awarded, there shall be no cash redemption of prize permitted and any difference between actual value and actual retail value will not be awarded. Winners cannot assign or transfer their prize to another person or business. All activities related to the prize are at the winners’ own risk and subject to whatever restrictions are imposed by the entities that govern such activities. Acceptance, participation in and/or use of the prize are at the winners’ sole risk and Sponsor is not responsible for damages whatsoever, including special, indirect, or consequential damages, arising out of or in connection with the use and/or misuse of the prize. If prize notification or any prize is returned as undeliverable, prize will be forfeited, and an alternate winner may be selected.
