By participating, contestants agree to be bound by the decisions of the Sponsor and Game Administrator, which shall be final and binding. Sponsor is not responsible for and shall not be liable for lost, misdirected, late, delayed, incomplete, unreadable, garbled, damaged or inaccurate entries or Game information provided by participants.
In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person submitting an online entry, the entry will be deemed to be submitted by the authorized account holder of the domain name from which the entry was made. "Authorized account holder" is the natural person who is assigned a domain name by an Internet access provider, service provider or other online organization that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar entry methods or agents will void all entries by that participant.
Sponsor and Administrator assume no responsibility for any computer, software, online, telephone or technical malfunctions that may occur, for any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by Website users, equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Game, or any technical, human or other error which may occur in the processing of submissions or administration of the Game, for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to or alteration of entries, for any problems, failures or technical malfunction of any telephone network or lines, computer online systems, servers, providers, computer equipment, software, email, players or browsers on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet, or at any website, or on account of any combination of the foregoing. Sponsor and Administrator are not responsible for any injury or damage to participants or to any computer related to or resulting from participating or downloading materials in this Game, for theft, destruction, unauthorized access to, or alteration of entries; problems submitting entries from the Websites; or for any errors or other problems related to Website entries or Game administration.
If, for any reason, the Game is not capable or running as planned because of infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes which impair, corrupt or otherwise adversely affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of this Game, Sponsor and Administrator reserve the right at its sole discretion to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Game in whole or in part and award proper prizes to the participants with the highest rankings at the time of the impairment. Notice of any cancellation, termination or modification will be posted on the Websites.
Sponsor or Administrator may, in their sole discretion, prohibit any contestant from using the Website or participating in the Game, and refuse to award points or prizes if a contestant engages in any conduct Sponsor deems to be improper, unfair, detrimental, unsportsmanlike, or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Websites, Game or other contestant. Such conduct includes, but is not limited to falsifying personal information required during registration, entry, or prize claim, supplying any information designed to circumvent any provision of these Official Rules, violating any term or condition stated herein, accumulating points or prizes through methods such as automated computer scripts or any other programming techniques, allowing others to use participant's personal information for the purpose of accumulating points or prizes, or trying to defraud, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise tamper with the computer programs on the Websites. Participants agree to return any prize that they have won as a result of such conduct.
CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT BY AN PARTICIPANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE GAME MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION OF SUCH PARTICIPANT. SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES) AND OTHER LEGAL RECOURSE, INCLUDING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, 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.
Any promotion materials, including the offer or these Official Rules, which contain production, printing or typographical errors, or are obtained outside authorized or legitimate channels are void; and Sponsor's and Administrator's liability, if any, is limited to the replacement of such materials. Recipients waive all rights to claim any and all losses, claims or damages that may result therefrom. Sweepstakes materials are automatically void if they are reproduced, mutilated, forged, altered or tampered with in any way, or if they are obtained outside authorized, legitimate channels.
By participating, entrants agree to release and hold Sponsor, Administrator, their parents, subsidiaries and other affiliated companies, advertising and promotion agencies and their respective directors, agents and employees harmless from all liability, loss, personal injury or death, or damage to reputation or of any kind attributable in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to their participation in the Game or their acceptance, possession and/or use of a prize or travel to or from or participation in any prize-related activity.
