The Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia, who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry (or age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence, whichever is older). Any individuals (including but not limited to employees, consultants, independent contractors and interns) who have, within the past six (6) months, performed services for Sponsor, any organizations responsible for sponsoring, fulfilling, administering, advertising or promoting the Sweepstakes and/or their respective parent, subsidiary, affiliated and successor companies (collectively, the “Sweepstakes Entities”), and immediate family and household members of such individuals, are not eligible to enter the Sweepstakes. For the purposes of these Official Rules “Immediate family members” mean parents, step-parents, children, step-children, siblings, step-siblings or spouses, regardless of where they live; and “Household members” mean people who share the same residence at least three (3) months a year, whether related or not.

4. Prize Drawing / Selection of Winner / Odds

One (1) potential Grand Prize winner (“Winner”) will be selected from all eligible entries received meeting the requirements of these Official Rules in a random drawing to be held on or around two (2) days following the end of the Entry Period. The drawing will be conducted either by independent persons or a computer program that randomly chooses the Winner from all eligible entries received, and the random selection is binding and final.

The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period. If the selected Winner is ineligible, cannot be contacted, fails to claim the prize, or does not return a completed affidavit of eligibility and publicity/liability release within the time specified in the notification, the prize will be forfeited and a new Winner will be drawn from the remaining valid, eligible entries.

5. Prizes

6. Notification of Winners

The Winner will be notified by email within three (3) business days of the prize drawing and must sign and return any required affidavit of eligibility and publicity/liability release. If a selected Winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to claim a prize, or does not return the required documents within the number of days specified in the notification or five (5) days after such notification, whichever comes first, the prize may be forfeited and a new Winner may be selected from remaining valid, eligible entries timely submitted.

In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of any entrant, the entry will be deemed submitted by the natural person who is the Authorized Account Holder of the email address specified in the entry. “Authorized Account Holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.

The Sweepstakes Entities are also not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable or do not reach entrant as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind or insufficient space in a potential Winner’s email or voicemail inbox, or if entrant’s email address or other contact information does not work or is changed without prior written notice to Sponsor that is acknowledged by Sponsor in writing.

The Sweepstakes Entities are also not responsible or liable for: (i) any injury, damage, loss or expense of any kind arising out of or related to the acts, omissions, negligence or willful misconduct of any third-party service providers, including without limitation transportation providers (such as rideshare services, airlines or ground transportation), hotels, venues, event organizers, or other vendors; (ii) any cancellation, postponement, delay or modification of any prize, event or travel due to weather, natural disasters, pandemic, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, government action, labor disputes, or any other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Sponsor (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”); or (iii) any personal injury, property damage, illness, death or other harm arising out of or related to prize-related travel or attendance at any event, regardless of cause.

In the event of a Force Majeure Event that prevents the awarding or fulfillment of the Grand Prize as described herein, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to: (i) cancel, modify, suspend or terminate the Sweepstakes or any portion thereof; (ii) substitute a prize of comparable or lesser value; or (iii) take any other action Sponsor deems appropriate under the circumstances. In no event shall Sponsor be obligated to award any prize if doing so would be impractical, illegal or otherwise inadvisable due to a Force Majeure Event, and no compensation or damages shall be owed to any entrant or Winner in connection therewith.
