The following applies to all entries: 

Entry Actions must be completed during the Sweepstakes Period through the Entry Site and in strict accordance with the instructions and restrictions stated on the Entry Site and in these Official Rules in order to qualify in this Sweepstakes. The Entry Site’s database clock will be the official timekeeper for this Sweepstakes. Only Entry Actions that are recorded on the Entry Site’s servers during the Sweepstakes Period will be considered. Proof of submitting (such as, without limitation, a printed, saved, or copied automated receipt confirming entry or a “thanks for entering” screen or message) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of an entry for purposes of this Sweepstakes. 

Entries may not be acknowledged. Entry Actions that are incomplete, garbled, late, unintelligible, fraudulent, forged, or generated by a macro, bot, or other automated means will not be accepted and are void. Sponsor, and its related affiliates, directors, officers, consultants, professional advisors, employees and agents will not be responsible for: (a) any late, lost, misrouted, garbled or distorted or damaged transmissions or entries; (b) telephone, electronic, hardware, software, network, Internet, or other computer- or communications-related malfunctions or failures; (c) any Sweepstakes disruptions, injuries, losses or damages caused by events beyond the control of Sponsor or by non-authorized human intervention; or (d) any printing or typographical errors in any materials associated with the Sweepstakes. Those who do not follow all of the instructions, provide the required information in their Entry Action, or abide by these Official Rules will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute about the identity of an entrant, the entry will be declared made by the individual identified in the Entry Action submission form underlying the applicable entry, but only if that person meets all other eligibility criteria for this Sweepstakes. With respect to any winning entry, the potential winner may be required to provide proof that they are the named individual associated with the winning entry. If a dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the entry will be deemed ineligible. Entries may not be made jointly or by any group and may only be made by an individual. Entries submitted on entrant’s behalf by any other individual, by you on behalf of another, or by any entity, and/or entries originating at any website other than through the Entry Site (including, without limitation, any commercial promotion subscription, notification, or entering service) will be declared invalid and disqualified. As a condition of entering the Sweepstakes, each entrant gives consent for Sponsor to obtain and deliver his or her name, address and other information to third parties for the purpose of administering this Sweepstakes and complying with applicable laws, regulations and rules – including, without limitation, public disclosure of such information on a winner’s list.

Any entrant determined or reasonably suspected to be engaging in any prohibited action or benefitting from the prohibited actions of others may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, be disqualified and any prize forfeited. Sponsor reserves the right to restrict or void purported Entry Action(s) from any device, account, IP address, or other identifiable source or from any participant if such Entry Action is determined or suspected to be fraudulent or otherwise in violation of these Official Rules, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.

SWEEPSTAKES DRAWING, ODDS OF WINNING, AND NOTIFICATION

One (1) potential prize winner will be selected by Sponsor’s designated representative from among all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period in a random drawing which will take place on September 12, 2024, for a total of one (1) potential winner. 

The odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received.

Sponsor may, at its option, use publicly available sources to review the background of each potential winner. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any potential winner from receiving the Prize based on such background review if Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that awarding the Prize to such potential winner could result in a safety or security risk to any person or persons or could result in the disruption of any event associated with the Promotion. The winner will be notified by phone or e-mail on or before September 13, 2024. To claim the Prize, the winner should follow the instructions and comply with the conditions contained in the winner notification. Winner must promptly identify a potential guest to Sponsor, and Sponsor may, at its option, conduct the same background review and process applicable to potential winners. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any potential guest in its sole discretion for the same reasons applicable to a potential winner. In the event that a potential winner does not respond to Sponsor’s attempts to contact the potential winner or is otherwise disqualified such that Sponsor is unable to award them the Prize, Sponsor may select additional potential winners by random drawing from remaining eligible entries. Potential prize winners may be required to respond to an initial notification from Sponsor or its representative in accordance with Sponsor’s instructions within twelve (12) hours of the time at which the notification is sent to the potential winner or such winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner selected. Any potential winner may also be required to complete, sign, have notarized (if applicable), and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (unless prohibited by law) and tax documents or other prize-acceptance documentation (collectively, the “Prize Winner Documents”), within twelve (12) hours of Sponsor or its representative sending the Prize Winner Documents to the potential winner or other time frame specified in the Prize Winner Documents, and in the form provided by Sponsor without revision, or prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected. The prize may also be forfeited and awarded to an alternative winner if the potential winner is not able to travel to any event included as part of the prize on the date Sponsor determines to hold such event or if any prize is otherwise not claimed. Prize Winner Documents may require the potential winner to provide his or her Social Security Number and a copy of a government-issued identification or number therefrom.  If any prize, prize notification, or other Sweepstakes-related communication is rejected or returned as undeliverable or if the selected winner cannot be reached or does not respond as instructed after Sponsor has attempted to notify such potential winner, the selected winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected (in Sponsor’s sole discretion). Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification procedures in connection with the selection of any alternate potential winner, if any. The Prize claim and Prize Winner Documents are subject to verification by Sponsor. Any prize, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded (but no more than the stated prize will be awarded in this Sweepstakes). Sponsor will not be obligated to pursue more than three (3) alternate winners (time permitting) for a prize for any reason. Prizes are not transferable.  No substitutions or exchanges (including for cash) of any prizes will be permitted, except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value for any prize.  Limit one (1) prize per household or address.  All prizes are awarded “AS IS” and WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose).
