On or about March 20, 2023, potential prize winners will be notified by the Sponsor by Direct Message and asked for an eligible email address (the “Notification”).

Winners must respond to the Notification within two (2) business days of the Sponsor’s first Notification. If the Notification is returned as undeliverable, this will result in disqualification and an alternate winner will be selected from all remaining eligible entries.

In the event a prize winner fails to respond to the Notification within two (2) business days of the Notification or if it is determined by Sponsor, in their sole discretion, that a potential winner is not eligible in accordance with these Official Rules, the potential winner forfeits his/her prize and an alternate winner will be selected at random from among the remaining non-winning eligible entries received during the Promotion Period.

A potential winner will be required to sign and return (except where prohibited) an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release and a W-9 tax form (the “Paperwork”) within five (5) days of the Notification. If any Grand Prize winner is considered a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence (but must be over the age of 18), the Paperwork must be completed and signed by his/her parent or legal guardian and such prize will be delivered to minor’s parent/legal guardian and awarded in the name of parent/legal guardian. After verification of the Affidavit, the Prize will sent, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion, either electronically or mailed using the United States Postal Service Priority Mail. Each potential winner must return the Paperwork within the date and time indicated in the Notification (i.e. five days). If a potential winner fails to return the Paperwork within the date and time indicated in the Notification, is disqualified for any reason, is otherwise found to be ineligible, or if he/she does not comply with the Official Rules, such potential winner and his/her entry will be disqualified and another potential winner will be selected from the remaining eligible entries received.

Prizes will be fulfilled approximately 4-6 weeks after winner validation. Any winner later determined to be ineligible may be required to return his/her prize. In the event a prize is returned, the email address is insufficient or the mailing address is incomplete for shipping purposes, or otherwise undeliverable for any reason, the potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential winner will be selected from the remaining eligible entries received. If the alternate potential winner’s prize is returned or otherwise or undeliverable for any reason, the alternate potential winner will be disqualified and the prize will not be awarded. Only one (1) alternate drawing will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.

Any and all taxes on a prize are the responsibility of the winner.

No compensation will be provided for any prizes that are not able to be awarded to a prize winner.
