    By submitting an entry as instructed through any of the above methods (“Submission”), you agree that your Submission conforms to the Guidelines and Restrictions below. Sponsor may choose to remove any Submission or disqualify you from the Contest if we believe that your Submission fails to conform with the Guidelines and Restrictions.

  6. If participating in the Contest via your mobile device (which service may only be available via select devices and participating wireless carriers and is not required to enter), you may be charged for standard data use from your mobile device according to the terms in your wireless service provider’s data plan. Normal airtime and carrier charges and other charges may apply to data use and will be billed on your wireless device bill or deducted from your pre-paid balance. Wireless carrier rates vary, so you should contact your wireless carrier for information on your specific data plan.
    Identity of Entrant: All Submissions must be submitted by the individual entrant. Bulk or automated entries will be disqualified (including entries made using any script, macro, bot, or promotional service). Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email account. Any attempt to obtain additional entries through fraud or other illegitimate means will result in disqualification, at Sponsor’s discretion.
    If there is a dispute about the identity of the entrant, entries will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the account through which the Submission is made. An “authorized account holder” means the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address. A potential winner may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that a potential winner is the authorized account holder of the account associated with the winning entry.

  7. Selection and Notification of Winner(s): On or about seven days after the end of the Contest Period (or other period listed in the Additional Terms), a panel of judges selected at Sponsor’s discretion will score each Submission based on the criteria listed in the Additional Terms. The top scoring winner’s or winners’ Submission(s) will be deemed the potential winner(s). In the unlikely event of a tie, the winner(s) will be determined by the Submissions’ scores in the tiebreaker criteria as specified in the Additional Terms. Odds of winning depend on number and quality of the entries received.
    Each potential winner will be notified via direct message on the social media platform through which they entered the Contest on or about the date specified in the Additional Terms. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sponsor may require each potential winner to sign and return, within three days of being notified, an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release in order to claim his/her prize. If (i) the attempted notification is returned as undeliverable without a forwarding address; (ii) any required documents are not returned within three days, such as the Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release; or (iii) if potential winner is otherwise unable to accept the prize as stated, the prize will be forfeited and may be awarded to an alternate winner. Only three alternate drawings will be held for each prize, after which the remaining prize(s) will not be awarded. If, by reason of a print or other error, more prizes are claimed than the number set forth in these Official Rules, the prize(s) will be awarded to the person with the highest scoring Submission in accordance with the judging criteria listed in the Additional Terms from among all eligible claimants making purportedly valid claims to award the prize(s) available.
    Verification of Potential Winner: EACH POTENTIAL WINNER IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONTEST. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A PRIZE WINNER UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE AND NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED.

  8. Prize: The prize(s), prize value(s), and number of winners are specified in the Additional Terms.
