Eligible entrants selected to win the Prize will be contacted by email within three (3) business days of the Draw Date.  The selected entrant will have seventy-two (72) hours (excluding weekends) after being emailed to confirm acceptance of the Prize. If the selected entrant doesn’t accept the Prize, cannot be reached by email for any reason or is unable to correctly answer a skill-testing question (see “Awarding of the Prizes” below), another eligible entrant will be randomly selected from the remaining Contest Entries, and this will continue until the Prize is claimed or there are no more eligible entrants.

The Sponsor will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact a selected eligible entrant. Odds of being selected for a Prize depend on the total number of eligible Contest Entries received during the Contest Period.

In addition, to receive the Prize, the selected eligible entrant must: (a) correctly answer, unaided, a mathematical skill-testing question; and (b) provide such additional information that the Sponsor deems necessary to meet regulatory requirements.  If the selected eligible entrant incorrectly answers the mathematical skill-testing question or refuses to provide the additional information requested by the Sponsor, he or she will be disqualified and another entrant will be selected via a draw from the remaining Contest Entries, and this will continue until the Prize is claimed or there are no more eligible entrants. 

A selected eligible entrant may also be required to sign a release form (the “Release Form”), confirming compliance with these Official Contest Rules, acceptance of the Prize as awarded, without substitution, and releasing and holding harmless the Released Parties (as hereinafter defined) from any and all claims, expenses or liabilities in connection with the Prize or the Contest.

The Prize will be delivered to the relevant winner’s specified address within two (2) weeks of such eligible entrant being declared a winner and providing the Sponsor with a completed Release Form (if required).  If it is not possible to deliver the Prize within two (2) weeks the Prize will be delivered as soon as reasonably possible.
