If the Potential Grand Prize Winner fails to return the Required Documents within the time period required, or if the Notification is returned as undeliverable, such Potential Grand Prize Winner forfeits his/her right to the prize and another potential Grand Prize Winner will be selected from among all remaining non-winning eligible entries received during the Promotion Period, even if the disqualified Potential Grand Prize Winner’s name may have been publicly announced. If it is determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, that the Potential Grand Prize Winner is not eligible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules, the Potential Grand Prize Winner forfeits his/her right to the prize and an alternate potential Grand Prize Winner will be selected as outlined above. In the event that the Potential Grand Prize Winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor/Administrator shall have no liability or obligation to such individual.

Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Promotion or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules, any other promotion or applicable law, or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Promotion may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages 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.
