One (1) Grand Prize winner will be randomly selected by Sponsor on or about January 7, 2023, from among all eligible entries during the Promotion Period by all entry methods combined. The decisions of the Sponsor will be final and binding and cannot be appealed. Prize winners will be notified by email and/or phone shortly after the drawing. The winners must meet all eligibility requirements. All eligible entries received will be included in subsequent drawings (if any).  

7. CLAIMING PRIZE/RELEASE: Eligibility and all claims made by a potential winner are subject to verification. The Sponsor is not responsible for fraudulent communications sent to entrants not by Sponsor. As soon as reasonably practicable following a drawing date, potential winners will be notified by the Sponsor or Sponsor’s agent via email (“Initial Email”) and must reply to this Initial Email with their complete name, mailing address, phone number, and date of birth within seven (7) days from the date the Initial Email is sent. The potential Grand Prize winner will also be required to sign and return a Declaration of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release as well as a Form W9 (for tax reporting purposes) within this same time period.  Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within seven (7) days of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned unclaimed or is undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected in Sponsor’s sole discretion from among the remaining eligible entries. If the prize notification is returned as undeliverable or if the potential winner fails to respond to notification attempts, the potential winner may be disqualified, and an alternate winner may be selected in Sponsor’s sole discretion from among the remaining eligible entries. In the event the winner declines the prize, Sponsor may elect, in its sole discretion, to select an alternate winner from among the remaining eligible entries. If a dispute arises regarding who submitted an entry, or if the winning email address does not belong to an individual, but rather to an eligible group, business or organization, the entry will be deemed submitted by the legitimate holder of the email account listed on the entry as determined by Sponsor. Sponsor shall not be responsible or liable for failure to contact potential winner due to an undeliverable email message, incorrect phone number, full or nonoperational voicemail, or an inactive or suspended email account or failure by potential winner to provide a current email address. Participants should be sure to check their email messages regularly and keep their account updated with their correct contact information so that they will be able to be contacted if selected as a potential winner. A potential winner, who fails to notify Sponsor’s via email at social@utzsnacks.com of any issue within three (3) business days after attempted prize notification, forfeits any right to do so.

8. ODDS: The odds of winning a Sweepstakes Prize will depend on the total number of eligible entries received by all entry methods combined as of each applicable entry period.

9. GENERAL CONDITIONS: The prize is awarded “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied by Sponsor. No transfer, assignment, substitution or cash equivalent for any prize will be permitted, except at the sole discretion of the Sponsor due to prize unavailability for any reason. In such circumstance, an alternate prize of equal value will be awarded and Sponsor’s obligation to the winner will be fulfilled, and no other additional compensation will be provided. Resale of the prize is prohibited. In no event will more than the stated number of prizes/offers be awarded. If an entrant submits more than the stated number of Entries permitted, and/or if the Sponsor suspects that an entrant attempted to obtain additional Entries by using multiple or different email addresses, registrations, identities or any other method, Sponsor will void that entrant’s Entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Entries generated by script, macro or other automated means and Entries by any means which subvert the entry process are void. Entries will not be acknowledged or returned. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar entry methods or agents (including, but not limited to, sweepstakes entry services to create fraudulent phone numbers and/or identities) will void all Entries by that entrant. Normal internet access and data charges imposed by your internet/wireless phone service provider may apply. See your internet/wireless provider for pricing plan details. In the event of a dispute as to any Entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed the entrant. The “authorized account holder of the email address” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization, (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winner/offer recipients may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder associated with the Entry.
