is returned as rejected, faulty, unclaimed or returned as undeliverable to such potential prize
winner, such potential prize winner may be disqualified. A potential prize winner who provides a
P.O. Box may be required to provide an alternative address and this may cause a delay in
notification and acceptance so use of a P.O. Box is discouraged. The Promotion Parties are not
responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active
or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in entrant’s email or other account to receive
messages.

All Games must be obtained legitimately as detailed in these Official Rules. Game Plays may not

with any Game Play deemed void for any reason. Sponsor’s sole liability and responsibility for any
irregular Game Play shall be limited to replacement of another Game (while supplies last). Games

may void all Game Play and cancel the Promotion, in its sole and absolute discretion. Sponsor may
run multiple campaigns, contests, sweepstakes or other promotions simultaneously. Entry into one
(1) campaign, contest or sweepstakes does not constitute entry into any other.

time when a particular Promotion participant plays the Game.
6. WINNER NOTIFICATION: The potential Sweepstakes prize winners will be notified by email
and/or phone within three (3) business days of winner selection or as soon as reasonably
