(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 $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 $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 winners, or remaining winners, 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 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. 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 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 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 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.
