the instructions in the notification, or the Prize may, in Sponsors’ 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 $600 or more, or in the event the
potential Prizewinner has been awarded prizes in other promotions operated by either
of the Sponsors for which this prize will cause the total value of all prizes
received in a calendar year from any one of the Sponsors to be $600 or more, the
potential Prizewinner shall be required to return a completed IRS Form W-9 to
the Sponsors prior to Sponsors’ delivery of the prize (the “W9”). All Prize
claims, including any required Affidavit and W9, are subject to verification by
Sponsors. If any potential Prizewinner fails or refuses to sign and return such
Affidavit and W9 within the time period required by Sponsors 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 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:
Sponsors reserve 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 Sponsors.
Sponsors 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, Sponsors shall have the right,
in Sponsors’ sole discretion, to disqualify the Prizewinner or to award to that
Prizewinner the remaining elements of the Prize which shall constitute full
satisfaction of Sponsors’ prize obligation to the Prizewinner and no additional
compensation will be awarded.
Any Prize details not specified in these Official Rules will be
determined by Sponsors in their sole discretion. Sponsors reserve 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. Entrants
waive 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 Sponsors will have no further obligation with respect
to that Prize or any portion of that Prize. Sponsors 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 Sponsors’ sole discretion. Prizewinner is strictly
prohibited from selling, auctioning, trading or otherwise transferring the
opportunity to receive the Prize, except with Sponsors’ permission, which may be granted or withheld
for any reason in their 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 Sponsors agree otherwise in their sole discretion).
Sponsors will not replace any lost or stolen, vouchers, certificates, gift cards, or other forms of prize distributed. In the event of such a loss, Sponsors shall have the right, in Sponsors’ sole discretion, to disqualify the Prizewinner or to award to that Prizewinner the remaining elements of the Prize which shall constitute full satisfaction of Sponsors’ prize obligation to the Prizewinner and no additional compensation will be awarded.

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 Entrants’
attempts 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 Sponsors believe 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 Sponsors, 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, SPONSORS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK ALL LEGAL AND
EQUITABLE REMEDIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW. Sponsors reserve the right, in their 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.
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, Sponsors, 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, Sponsors 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. Sponsors
agree 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. Sponsors’ 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 Sponsors’ sole and absolute discretion.
