made, provided that Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
substitute a prize (or any component of a prize) for one of equal or greater
value due to unavailability or for any other
reason. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to replace any
merchandise with a newer model or version of same; but, in such event, Sponsor
will continue to use the value of the “old” (i.e., replaced) item for purposes
of calculating the ARV. Any depiction of a prize, in Sweepstakes’ material or
otherwise, is for illustrative purposes only. Terms and conditions of
PlayStation™ Store codes apply. All expenses not specifically mentioned as being included
(e.g., any required installation, requested upgrades/options, subscriptions)
are excluded and are the prize winner’s sole responsibility. The prizes do not
include any warranty unless specifically stated otherwise. Sponsor will not
replace any lost or stolen prizes. All federal, state, or other tax
liabilities (including, but not limited to, income taxes) arising from winning
a prize in the Sweepstakes will be the sole responsibility of the prize winner.
Winners are responsible for all taxes and fees associated with prize receipt
and/or use. Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries
received for each respective Weekday Drawing during the Promotion Period. Whether
the prize is used or not, the fair market value of prizes valued at $600 or
more awarded to winners will be reported on an IRS Form 1099, sent to both the winner and reported to the IRS, as required by law. Limit:
One (1) prize per person. Total AV of all prizes: $209,355.
6. Prize Drawings/Notification
of Winners: Administrator is an independent
organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the
Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in
all matters related to the Sweepstakes. On or around two (2) business days
following each Weekday Drawing, Administrator
will randomly select potential Sweepstakes winners for the applicable Weekday
Drawing from all eligible entries received. The potential winners
will be notified by email soon thereafter with prize claim instructions. Each potential winner of a prize valued at $600 or
more (or parent/legal guardian if winner is a minor in their state of
residence) will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance,
Liability Waiver and where not prohibited a Publicity Release (“Declaration”)
which must be received by Administrator within three (3) days of the date

sent, in order to claim the prize. If a potential winner of
any prize cannot be contacted, fails to sign
and return the Declaration or provide any requested information within
the time periods indicated, or the applicable prize notification is returned as
undeliverable, the potential winner automatically forfeits the applicable prize. ALL POTENTIAL WINNERS
ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY ADMINISTRATOR AND/OR SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS
ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES. AN ENTRANT IS
NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN
VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. Receiving a prize is
contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. If the potential prize
winner is found to be ineligible for any reason, or if they cannot or do not
comply in full with these Official Rules or the Sony
Rewards Terms and Conditions, such potential prize winner will be disqualified.
In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason or forfeits
the prize, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by
random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3)
alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. All verified winners will receive a link to a
questionnaire from Sponsor upon verification (“Questionnaire”), and all
Questionnaire responses will be subject to these Official Rules, specifically
Section 8. Questionnaire responses may be subject to additional terms and
conditions. Prizes
