individual, whether or not the individual is a participant in the Sweepstakes, who
tampers with the entry process, and to terminate, modify or suspend the

action taken by Sponsor or otherwise in a manner which is fair, appropriate and
consistent with these Official Rules, as determined by Sponsor in its sole
discretion. Notice of termination/modification/suspension of Sweepstakes will be

limitation of any other term here, Sponsor and its agencies are not responsible for
failed, partial or garbled computer transmissions, technical failures of any kind
(including but not limited to electronic malfunction or damage of any network,
hardware or software), any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in

unauthorized access to, or alteration of, entries or Sweepstakes Tweets; or any
problems or technical malfunctions of any telephone network or lines, computer
online systems, servers, or providers, computer equipment, software, failure of any
e-mail or electronic entry to be received or for any Sweepstakes Tweet to be
accessible on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet
or at any website, or any combination thereof, including any injury or damage to

from participation in this Sweepstakes. Sponsor and its agencies also expressly

party rights or is profane, obscene, disparaging or is otherwise inappropriate,
objectionable, or unsuitable for the uses contemplated in these Official Rules, as
determined by Sponsor/Administrator in their sole discretion. If an Entry cannot be
viewed and/or accessed by Sponsor or Administrator for any reason, such Entry
shall be disqualified without any fault or liability of the Released Parties, as defined

judging organization/Administrator whose decisions are final and binding on all
matters related to the Sweepstakes. Each potential winner will be notified by direct
message from the Sponsor’s official Twitter account (@Kohls). It is recommended
you confirm your Twitter notification settings are turned on. The initial verification
notification (direct message) will request that the potential winner go to a specific
5
website and complete an entry form with specific personal information (e.g., full
name, address, phone number, email address, date of birth, and Twitter
username). Failure to respond to the initial verification notice within twenty-four
(24) hours with all required information, or if initial verification notice is
undeliverable after two (2) attempts will result in disqualification. Potential winner
may be required to sign and return within three (3) business days, an Affidavit of
Eligibility, Release and Indemnification, and a Publicity Release where allowed by
law, as well as other documents that Sponsor may require, including a W-9 Tax
form (“Winner Documents”). If the Winner Documents are not returned to Sponsor
within specified time period, potential winner may be disqualified. If a potential
winner is disqualified, or if prize is returned as undeliverable, prize will be awarded
to an alternate winner selected in a random drawing from all remaining non-
winning eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. In the event of any
dispute concerning the identity of any Entrant, the Entry will be deemed submitted
by the natural person who is the authorized holder of the email account associated
with the Twitter account used to participate in the Sweepstakes. “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

assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email
address.
