Official Rules of this or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or
disruptive manner, and to void all associated Entries. Sponsor may prohibit any
potential entrant from participating in the Sweepstakes or winning a prize if, in
Sponsor’s sole discretion, it 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 the sweepstakes. All federal, state, and local laws and
regulations apply. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the
legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil
law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek
damages and other remedies (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 concerning who submitted an Entry, the Entry will be declared
to have been made by the authorized account holder of the email address
submitted at the time of entry, but only if that person meets all of the eligibility
criteria. An 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 (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.

Acceptance of a Prize constitutes permission for the Sponsor and its parent
companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents and licensees to use Winner’s name
and/or likeness for any commercial, advertising, or promotional purpose, in all
media and formats now known or later developed, without further notice or
compensation, unless prohibited by law. By participating in this promotion,

the stated number of prizes be awarded.

all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of or connected with the

limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with
