Entrants acknowledge that failing to complete and return eligibility Materials in compliance with the written instructions ON OR BEFORE THE DEADLINE DATE may result in disqualification and, in such case, the prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate potential winner, at Sponsor’s sole discretion.

In the event of non-compliance with these rules, or if the prize or prize notification is unclaimed or returned as undeliverable, the prize will be forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, awarded to an alternate potential winner. If the prize or prize notification is unclaimed or returned as undeliverable, or if any potential prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules, or if the potential prize winner declines a prize for any reason prior to award, such potential winner may be disqualified. In such case, the prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate potential winner, at Sponsor’s sole discretion.

The Sponsor is not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential winners.
