The potential winners will be notified by Facebook message or email, depending on the method by which they entered. Each potential winner (parent/legal guardian if a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to complete, electronically sign and submit a Declaration of Compliance and Release Agreement within three (3) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to submit the Declaration of Compliance and Release Agreement within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits prize.

Each potential winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, 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. Prizes will be fulfilled approximately THIRTY (30) days after the conclusion of the Sweepstakes.

Total approximate retail value (“ARV”) of each prize is $500.00. The ARV of all prizes being awarded in this Sweepstakes is $2,500.00.

Sponsor is not responsible if any winner or any guest does not use ticket on a scheduled day. Sponsor is not responsible if the event is delayed, postponed or cancelled for any reason, or for issues arising from the operation and management of the event, in which event the prize is forfeited in its entirety and no substitution will be provided except as in Sponsor’s sole discretion. In the event the event is cancelled or postponed, Sponsor will have no obligation to award compensation in lieu thereof. Failure to attend Event does not relieve winner of his/her tax obligations associated with acceptance of a prize, as outlined elsewhere in these Official Rules. Winner’s guest must execute liability/publicity releases prior to issuance of tickets.
11. General Conditions
In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Sweepstakes is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but not limited to fraud, virus, bug, worm, unauthorized human intervention or other technical problem, or in the event the Sweepstakes is unable to run as planned for any other reason, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either (a) suspend the Sweepstakes to address the impairment and then resume the Sweepstakes in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules or (b) terminate the Sweepstakes and, in the event of termination, award the prizes at random from among the eligible, non-suspect entries received up to the time of the impairment.

Failure by the Sponsor to enforce any provision of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be available and/or claimed, Sponsors reserve the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.
