determines that said entrant is attempting to undermine the legitimate
operation of the Sweepstakes by cheating, hacking, deception, or other
unfair playing practices or intends or is attempting to annoy, abuse,
threaten, or harass any other entrants or any representative of
Sponsor. Entry times will be
determined using Sponsor’s computer, which will be the official clock for

(including attorneys’ fees) from any such person to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure
to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver
of that provision. The invalidity
or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision is
determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official
Rules will otherwise remain in effect and will be construed in accordance
with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained
herein. In the event of a dispute

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 (e.g. business, educational institution, etc.) that is
responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with
the submitted email address. The
potential Winner may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that he or
she is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with
the potentially winning Entry. If a
dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the Entry will be
deemed ineligible.
