Entry into this Sweepstakes does not constitute entry into any other Sweepstakes.

5. RANDOM DRAWING PERIODS: Prizes will be awarded in twelve (12) monthly random drawings conducted by Marden-Kane, Inc., an independent judging organization on or about the dates listed in the Random Drawing Table, among all eligible entries received. Odds of winning a Prize for a specific random drawing will depend upon the total number of eligible entries received for that particular monthly Sweepstakes Entry Period. Decisions of the judges will be final and binding on all matters relating to each monthly Sweepstakes.

6. PRIZE AWARDING: Winners will be notified within 3 days of the Drawing by email address or regular mail, depending on the method of entry. If a pending winner is a minor under the law of his/her jurisdiction of residence (residents of Alabama and Nebraska must be 19 years of age or older) at the time of entry, his or her respective parent or guardian may be required to execute an Affidavit acknowledging, confirming and consenting to the Liability Release and where legal, a Publicity Consent document in order to accept the prize on behalf of the winner. If parent or guardian is unavailable to execute this document, the winner will not receive the prize. Neither Sponsor nor Marden-Kane, Inc., will be responsible for checks sent by mail to the intended recipients that are lost, stolen, sent to the incorrect mailing address, misdirected or cashed without permission.

Prizes will be awarded only on verification by Kantar Millward Brown that all Drawing requirements have been met by the winners. Each Prize must be accepted as awarded and no substitution, transfer, conversion or assignment of Prizes will be allowed. Sponsor reserves the right to award a prize of equal value or comparable use for any reason. No correspondence will be entered into except with selected Entrants at the email address listed on the Kantar Millward Brown systems. The winner will have seven (7) calendar days from date of notification to accept the Prize. The Sponsor is not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the winner. If a selected Entrant cannot be contacted within the allotted time, Kantar Millward Brown reserves the right to void that entry and select another eligible Entrant for that Prize. Upon disqualification, no prize will be awarded. In order to be declared an official winner the selected Entrants will be required to complete, notarize and return to Marden-Kane, Inc. an Affidavit of Eligibility/Liability/Publicity Release Form along with a W9 Tax Form. Since prize value is over $600, winner will be required to provide their social security number, and declare on their tax returns, as required by law. By completing, signing and returning the required paperwork, the Entrant (i) confirms compliance with these Drawing Rules and Regulations, and (ii) releases and forever discharges the Sponsor, its affiliates and subsidiaries, its affiliates and subsidiaries and their respective advertising and promotional agencies from all claims, demands, damages, actions and causes of action arising or to arise by reason of the acceptance or use of the Prize. By accepting prize, winner grants permission to use his/her name, city, state, prize information, descriptions, photograph, voice, likeness, statements, and biographical information without limitation, for advertising and publicity purposes in any media now known or hereafter devised, worldwide, in perpetuity, without further compensation, except for residents of Tennessee and wherever else prohibited except where prohibited by law. Prizes will be awarded and fulfilled by Marden-Kane, Inc. Unclaimed prizes may go unawarded if after three (3) attempted rounds, a potential winner is not able to be confirmed. Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a background check on Prize winners. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, and terms and conditions stated in the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
