Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address.

   In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder to the Sponsor or forfeit the prize.

Incomplete, corrupted, or untimely entries are void and will be disqualified.

   By entering into the Promotion, entrant agrees that the Sponsor may use the entrant’s name and photograph and/or video images of an interview with the Sponsor for promotional and marketing purposes in the event entrant is selected as a winner.

3. DRAWING/NOTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION OF WINNERS: At the conclusion of the Promotion Period, Sponsor will select the names of one hundred (100) potential winners in a random drawing from among all eligible entrants. The odds of winning the prize depends on the total number of qualified entrants. The winners will be notified via email or by phone (at Sponsor’s sole discretion).

   Except where legally prohibited, winners must, if requested, sign and return, within 48 hours of being notified, an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential Winner cannot be contacted in person via email or telephone, or if he/she fails to sign and return the Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release within the required time period (if applicable), or in the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner selected by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only ten (10) alternate drawings will be held, after which any remaining prizes will remain un-awarded.

   Verification of Potential Winners: ALL POTENTIAL WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROMOTION. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE.
