Prizes pictured in advertising, marketing or promotional materials are for illustrative purposes only.  All costs, including federal, state and local taxes, insurance, any costs/expenses related to participation in the Sweepstakes or acceptance or use of the Prize, and other expenses not specifically identified as included in the Prize, are the sole responsibility of the winner.  SPONSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE PRIZE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND THE WINNER SHALL TAKE THE PRIZE “AS IS” AND AT HIS OR HER OWN RISK.

 

10. Winner Requirements.  The potential winner must comply with all terms and conditions of these Rules and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements.  It is an entrant's responsibility to keep his/her email address current, monitor it and ensure that any winner notification email from Sponsor does not end up in a “junk” or “spam” folder.  Sponsor is not responsible for electronic communications which are unread or undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind or insufficient space in entrant’s email account to receive email messages.  If a potential winner does not comply with the Rules, cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to claim the Prize, and/or fails to return the Affidavit within the applicable time period, Sponsor may elect to disqualify the selected winner, who will then forfeit his or her right to receive the Prize.  In the event a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the Prize to an alternate winner selected by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.  Only three (3) alternate winners will be selected, after which the Prize will remain un-awarded.  Arrangements for delivery of the Prize will be made after winner validation. 

 

11.  Promotion.  Acceptance of any prize shall constitute and signify the winner’s agreement and consent that Sponsor may use the winner’s name, biographical information, city, state, photos and/or likeness, voice recording, video images and all related footage, and/or Prize information in connection with the Sweepstakes  for promotional, trade, commercial, advertising and publicity purposes, at any time or times, in all media now known or hereafter discovered, worldwide, including but not limited to on television, radio, the Word Wide Web and Internet (including Sponsor’s website and various social media platforms), without limitation and without further payment or consideration, except where prohibited by law.

Participants further understand and agree 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 are hereby expressly and forever waived. Participants acknowledge that Section 1542 provides that: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”  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.

ANY ATTEMPT BY AN INDIVIDUAL, WHETHER OR NOT AN ENTRANT, TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE, DESTROY, TAMPER OR VANDALIZE SPONSOR’S SITE OR INTERFERE WITH OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES, IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS AND SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND PURSUE ALL OTHER REMEDIES AGAINST ANY SUCH INDIVIDUAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
