Requirements of the Potential Winner: Except where prohibited, each potential winner will be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility and liability release (the "Affidavit/Release") and return the Affidavit/Release to Sponsor within fourteen (14) days of being notified. If Sponsor does not receive a response from the potential winner within seven (7) days after Sponsor's first attempt to contact the potential winner, if the potential winner fails to sign and return the Affidavit/Release within the required time period, or if the potential winner is otherwise ineligible to receive the prize, an alternate entrant will be selected in its place in a random drawing of all entries received.

Winner is responsible for any taxes and fees that are not expressly mentioned above and are associated with receipt or use of prize.

Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any entity it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules, or in any disruptive manner. Any attempt by any entity to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes is a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such entity 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.
