Potential Prize Winners are subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Potential Prize Winners will be notified by telephone (if entered via Text Message Entry) or e-mail (if entered via Mail-In Entry or purchase) after the Random Drawings with instructions on how to claim their prize. A potential Prize Winner may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (except where prohibited) and any other requested documents within 5 calendar days from the date of attempted notification or the prize may be forfeited in its entirety and awarded to an alternate winner, at the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Failure to provide all required information and a signature on any requested documents within the stated time period may result in forfeiture of a Prize Winner’s right to claim a prize, and may result in the prize being awarded to an alternate winner. If a potential Prize Winner is disqualified, found to be ineligible or not in compliance with these Official Rules, or declines to accept a prize, the prize may be forfeited. If the prize is forfeited, the prize may be awarded to an alternate winner, selected in a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries for the applicable Entry Period, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. If, after a good-faith attempt, Sponsor is unable to award or deliver a prize, the prize may not be re-awarded. Prizes will only be awarded to verified winners.

Sponsor will attempt to notify each potential winner as set forth above, but Sponsor is not responsible for any undelivered e-mails or unanswered telephone calls, including e-mails that are not received because of a winner’s privacy or spam filter settings which may divert any Contest e-mail, including any winner notification e-mail, to a spam or junk folder. Prizes that are unclaimed, unredeemed, or returned as undeliverable will not be awarded. Prizes are non-transferable and no prize substitution, exchange or cash equivalent will be allowed, except by Sponsor at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Contest Entities shall not be held responsible for any delays in awarding the prize for any reason.
