section below for details.) All terms and conditions of the Sponsor Affidavit (defined
below) or other prize-acceptance documentation, as well as any other rules,
regulations and guidelines of Sponsor shall be applicable to the Prize.
PRIZEWINNER NOTIFICATION:
Each potential
Prizewinner will be notified using the Personal Information provided during
entry by any of email, telephone, mail, text message, a post on the potentially
winning entry, or through a direct message on a social media platform (if
applicable) (method to be selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion) in a
commercially reasonable time after the drawing. The potential Prizewinner must
respond within twenty-four (24) hours of notification, and in accordance with
the instructions in the notification, or the Prize may, in Sponsor’s sole
discretion, be forfeited. The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for
false, incorrect, changed, incomplete or illegible contact information.
Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately upon sending of an email,
text, direct message on a social media platform, and/or placing of a phone
call, one (1) day after sending via a delivery service, or two (2) days after
mailing. A potential Prizewinner who provides a P.O. Box may be required to
provide an alternative physical address and this may cause a delay in
notification and acceptance, so use of a P.O. Box is discouraged. The
Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for electronic communications that are
undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any
kind, insufficient space in Entrant’s email or voicemail inbox to receive
messages, or any limitations associated with receipt or delivery of text
messages or direct messages.
Each potential
Prizewinner may be required to submit an affidavit of eligibility / release of
liability / prize acceptance agreement (collectively, the “Affidavit”) and return the Affidavit within the time period
specified at notification before being eligible to receive their Prize. In
addition, for any Prize with a value of Six Hundred Dollars ($600) or more, or
in the event the potential Prizewinner has been awarded prizes in other
promotions operated by Sponsor for which this Prize will cause the total value
of all prizes received in a calendar year from the Sponsor to be Six Hundred
Dollars ($600) or more, the potential Prizewinner shall be required to return a
completed IRS Form W-9 to the Sponsor prior to Sponsor’s delivery of the prize
(the “W9”). All Prize claims, including any required Affidavit, are subject to
verification by Sponsor. If any potential Prizewinner fails or refuses to sign
and return such Affidavit and W9 within the time period required by Sponsor or
if the Prize or Prize notification is returned as rejected, faulty, unclaimed
or returned as undeliverable to such potential Prizewinner, such potential
Prizewinner may be disqualified and an alternate Prizewinner may be selected.
Non-compliance shall result in disqualification. If any potential Prizewinner
is found to be ineligible, or if they have not complied with these Official
Rules and all other additional or supplemental rules or instructions, or if the
potential Prizewinner cannot attend or participate in any portion of the Prize,
or declines a Prize for any reason prior to award, such potential Prizewinner
may be disqualified and an alternate potential Prizewinner may be selected. If,
for any reason, more bona fide Prizewinners come forward seeking to claim
Prizes in excess of the number of each type of Prize set forth in these
Official Rules, the Prizewinners, or remaining Prizewinners, as the case may
be, of the advertised number of Prizes available may be selected in a random
drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such
Prize(s). Inclusion in such drawing shall be each Entrant’s sole and exclusive
remedy under such circumstances. The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible
for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected,
or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential Prizewinner.
ADDITIONAL PRIZE INFORMATION:
Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a background check on the
potential Prizewinner and each potential Prizewinner agrees to execute any
additional documentation necessary for and to cooperate fully in any such
background check conducted by or on behalf of Sponsor.
Sponsor will not
replace any lost or stolen cash, cash equivalent, gift cards, or other forms of
Prize distributed. In the event of such a loss, Sponsor shall have the right,
in Sponsor’s sole discretion, to disqualify the Prizewinner or to award to that
Prizewinner the remaining elements of the Prize which shall constitute full
satisfaction of Sponsor’s prize obligation to the Prizewinner and no additional
compensation will be awarded.
Terms and conditions of any gift card, ticket, or voucher awarded apply.
Any taxes (federal, state, and local) and all other costs and expenses
associated with Prize acceptance or use and not specified in these Official
Rules as being part of a Prize will be the sole responsibility of the
Prizewinner. Any Prize details not specified in these Official Rules will be
determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to
substitute any Prize or any portion thereof with another Prize or Prize
component of equal or greater value for any reason, including unavailability of
the stated Prize. Entrant waives the right to assert, as a cost of winning any
Prize, any and all costs of verification and any
liability and publicity which might arise from claiming or seeking to claim
said Prize.
If Prizewinner does not accept the entire Prize, the unaccepted Prize (or part of the Prize) will be forfeited and Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that Prize or any portion of that Prize. Sponsor will have no liability for a potential Prizewinner’s failure or inability to accept a Prize for any reason. Any failure to use a Prize after acceptance does not relieve the Prizewinner of their tax obligations associated with winning the Prize. No transfers, prize substitutions or cash redemptions will be made, except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Prizewinner is strictly prohibited from selling, auctioning, trading or otherwise transferring the opportunity to receive the Prize, except with Sponsor’s permission, which may be granted or withheld for any reason in its sole discretion. Prizes will only be shipped or otherwise provided to the verified Prizewinner’s address in the fifty (50) United States or D.C. (unless Sponsor agrees otherwise in its sole discretion).

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF ENTRY:
All Entrants, as a
condition of entry, agree that they have not been required to purchase any kind
of Internet, wireless, or data service whatsoever in order to participate in
and/or enter the Sweepstakes. The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for
the actions of Entrants in connection with the Sweepstakes, including any Entrant’s
attempt(s) to circumvent the Official Rules or otherwise interfere with the
administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the
Sweepstakes. Persons found tampering with or abusing any aspect of this
Sweepstakes, or whom Sponsor believes to be causing malfunction, error,
disruption or damage may be disqualified. Additionally, any attempt to cheat
the Sweepstakes, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Sponsor,
may result in immediate disqualification of Entrant, as well as other possible
consequences, including disqualification from any and all existing and future
sweepstakes. ANY ATTEMPT BY A PERSON TO DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE (INCLUDING ANY
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM OR APPLICATION) OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF
THIS SWEEPSTAKES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH
AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK ALL LEGAL AND EQUITABLE
REMEDIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
disqualify (or terminate the Prize of) any individual who is found to be, or
suspected of, acting in violation of these Official Rules, or to be acting in
an unsportsmanlike, obscene, immoral, or disruptive manner, or with the intent
to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person.
Entrant further
understands and agrees that all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of
California (“Section 1542”) and any similar law of any state or territory of
the United States that may be applicable with respect to the foregoing
release(s) are hereby expressly and forever waived. Entrant acknowledges that
Section 1542 provides that: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT
THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN THEIR
FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY THEM, WOULD
HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED THEIR SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
The releases hereunder are intended to apply to all claims not known or
suspected to exist with the intent of waiving the effect of laws requiring the
intent to release future unknown claims.
GOVERNING LAW:
The parties agree that
the Sweepstakes and these Official Rules will be governed, construed, and
interpreted under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to
any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of California
or any other jurisdiction) which would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of California.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
Entrant, Sponsor, and
the other Released Parties (each, a “Party”
and collectively the “Parties”) each
agree to fully and finally settle all disputes pertaining to the Sweepstakes,
administration of the Sweepstakes, and/or these Official Rules only through
binding arbitration; provided, however, Sponsor shall be entitled to seek
injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in Los Angeles
County, California and any other court with jurisdiction over the Parties. In
arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s
decision and award are final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment
on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The Parties agree
that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Sweepstakes shall be resolved solely by binding
arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules
& Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”)
or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a
hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for
Arbitration”, then either Party can elect to have the arbitration administered
by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. If an
in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Los Angeles,
California or – where required by the arbitration service’s rules – in or near
your home town. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules
will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an
individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that
involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class
actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds
that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to
arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent
jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, California. Sponsor agrees to pay the
administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but
specifically excluding any travel or other costs of Entrant to attend the
arbitration hearing). Either Party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring
qualifying claims in small claims court.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:
BY ENTERING THE
SWEEPSTAKES, ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A)
ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED
WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY,
WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (B) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS,
AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED
(IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’
FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; (C) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE
PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET
EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES
MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; AND (D) ENTRANTS’ REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A
CLAIM FOR MONEY DAMAGES (IF ANY) AND ENTRANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO
SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF, PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT NOTHING IN THESE
OFFICIAL RULES WILL RESTRICT A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT’S RIGHT (IF ANY) TO PURSUE
PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AS PERMITTED BY LAW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
DISPUTE-RESOLUTION PROVISION ABOVE.
MISCELLANEOUS:
The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules or the Affidavit will
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event
that any provision of the Official Rules or the Affidavit is determined to be
invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain
in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the
invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. Sponsor’s failure to
enforce any term of these Official Rules or any other guidelines, instructions,
policies, or term will not constitute a waiver of that provision. Entrant
agrees to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings
are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any
manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision hereof. In the
event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other
statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy or
terms of use on any website, social media platform or application and/or the
terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail,
govern and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and
absolute discretion.
