Sponsor does not guarantee that any individual Entrant will become the Winner.

We will notify the potential winner via the email address he or she provided in his or her entry. The potential winner may also be required to execute an affidavit attesting to his or her eligibility to be confirmed as a Winner and an additional legally binding release (all such documents, the “Additional Documents”). The Additional Documents must be signed and returned by the date we indicated in the communication with which they are provided or the potential winner will be disqualified.

Receiving the prize is contingent upon compliance with these Rules. If a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, an alternate winner will be selected in a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries in the manner set forth above.  The prize may remain unawarded if Sponsor is required to conduct more than three alternate drawing.
