binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential
Sweepstakes winners from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period, on or around

terrorism) interferes with any aspect of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to fulfillment of the

be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of the
Official Rules of this or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt
by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation
of criminal and civil law, and should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek
damages (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees) and other remedies from any such person to the
fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not
constitute a waiver of that provision.
11. Limitations of Liability: The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate

associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited

remedy is another entry in the Sweepstakes if it is possible. No more than the stated number of prizes will

legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.
