Official Sweepstakes Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED, TAXED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW OR INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC POLICY.

UNDER THESE TERMS (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) YOU ARE AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, THAT REQUIRES US BOTH TO ARBITRATE ALL CLAIMS INSTEAD OF GOING TO A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE AND JURY, AND REQUIRES THAT ALL SUCH ARBITRATION CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR OTHERWISE ON BEHALF OF OTHERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Please read these rules before entering the sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”). By entering and participating in the Sweepstakes, you agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the terms of the applicable Sweepstakes Page and represent that you satisfy all of the eligibility requirements set forth below.

Sweepstakes may only be entered in or from the United States (including the District of Columbia) or the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland only) and entries originating from any other jurisdiction are not eligible for entry.

  1. How to Enter. During the Sweepstakes Period (defined below), entrants must view Sponsor’s Sweepstakes page (the “Sweepstakes Page”) and follow all directions for entry. If you choose to enter using your mobile device, standard data fees may apply. You should consult your wireless service provider's pricing plan for details. You agree to incur any and all charges demanded by your wireless carrier. You should also check your device's features for capabilities and check the device manual for specific use instructions.

    By entering the Sweepstakes, entrants fully and unconditionally agree to be bound by these rules and the decisions of the Sponsor, which will be final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes.

Only fully completed entry forms are eligible. Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.
