8. General Rules: The Administrator’s computer timestamp is the official timekeeper for purposes of this Promotion. Prizes will be awarded only if the potential prize winner fully complies with these Official Rules. All portions of the prize are non-assignable and non-transferable. Prizes pictured in point-of-sale, online, television and print advertising, promotional packaging, and other Promotion materials are for illustrative purposes only. Actual prize(s) may vary from the prize(s) pictured. All details and other restrictions of the prize(s) not specified in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. The check to help offset taxes may not be sufficient to cover the winner’s tax liability related to winning the prize. The winner should consult his or her tax advisor on the proper treatment of the check. The winner shall be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize.

If potential winner fails to return the completed Declaration within twenty-four (24) hours of Winner Notification, or if notification or prize or Declaration is returned as undeliverable, or if Entrant shall be deemed to be ineligible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules, then potential winner will be deemed disqualified and their claim to the prize will be forfeited and (for the Grand Prize only) an alternate potential Grand Prize winner will be randomly selected from the remaining eligible Sweepstakes Entries and the same verification process outlined above will be followed to verify that potential winner. Potential Daily Instant Win Prizes winners of prizes valued at $599 or less will be notified via email and will be required to provide his/her mailing address and verify his/her eligibility within twenty-four (24) hours of Winner Notification or the applicable Daily Instant Win Prize will be forfeited.

Unclaimed Instant Win Prizes will not be awarded.

All Entrants (and any minor Entrant’s parent or legal guardian), as a condition of entry into the Promotion, agree to release and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all liability, claims or actions of any kind whatsoever for injuries, damages, or losses to persons or property which may be sustained in connection with submitting a Game Play/Sweepstakes Entry or otherwise participating in any aspect of the Promotion, the receipt, ownership or use or misuse of any prize awarded or any typographical or other error in these Official Rules or the announcement or offering of the prize. Winner assumes all liability for any injury or damage caused, or claimed to be caused by participation in the Promotion or use or misuse or redemption of the prize. Acceptance of prize constitutes permission to use winner’s name and likeness for promotional purposes (including any possible public relations opportunities) without further compensation except where prohibited by law. By entering, Entrant accepts and agrees to be bound by these Official Rules. Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to disqualify any individual that tampers or attempts to tamper with the entry process or the operation of the Promotion; violates the Official Rules; acts in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner; or acts with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person. The Released Parties are not responsible for technical, hardware or software malfunctions, telephone failures of any kind, lost or unavailable network connections, or failed, incorrect, inaccurate, incomplete, garbled or delayed electronic communications, whether caused by the sender, by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Promotion which may limit the ability to participate, or by any human error which may occur in the processing of the Game Plays/Sweepstakes Entries in the Promotion. Game Plays/Sweepstakes Entries generated by script or bot are not eligible. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an Entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter, if applicable, will be deemed to be the Entrant. “Authorized account holder” of an email address is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet Access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, terminate or modify the Promotion (each a “Promotion Change”) if no entries are received during the Promotion Period or if the Promotion cannot be completed as planned for any reason, including but not limited to an unforeseen event (“Unforeseen Event”) such as infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, technical failures or corruption of any sort, or force majeure event (including without limitation epidemic, pandemic, communicable, contagious, or infectious disease or public health quarantine that impacts the anticipated participation in the Promotion). In such event, Sponsor may (a) cancel the Promotion entirely, (b) award the Sweepstakes Grand from eligible Sweepstakes Entries received prior to the Unforeseen Event resulting in the Promotion Change if sufficient eligible Sweepstakes Entries have been received (as determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion) and award all Instant Win Prizes claimed from among all eligible Game Plays received prior to cancellation, or (c) extend the Promotion Period to allow time for more eligible Game Plays/Sweepstakes Entries to be received. It is understood that an Unforeseen Event must take place for the Promotion Change to be effectuated by Sponsor and that such Promotion Change is not simply at Sponsor’s option for any reason.
