AWARDING OF PRIZE:  A representative of Sponsor will notify the potential Sweepstakes Winner by telephone or e-mail (the same telephone number or e-mail provided in his or her Entry).

Sponsor is not responsible for contacting an Entrant if that Entrant has changed contact information and failed to provide Sponsor with the proper contact information when such information is required.  At the sole discretion of the Sponsor, forfeiture of the Prize and the selection of an alternate Sweepstakes Winner may result from any of the following: (a) a potential Sweepstakes Winner's failure to respond to notification within the specified response period; (b) a potential Sweepstakes Winner's failure to provide Sponsor with satisfactory proof of age, identity, and residence; or (c) any non-compliance with these Official Rules.

Canadian residents must also execute and return the Affidavit confirming compliance with these rules and releasing the Sponsor and its affiliated companies from any liability in connection with this Sweepstakes, all within the time specified on the Affidavit. Failure of a Canadian selected Entrant to correctly answer the skill-testing question in the time allotted or failure to execute and return the Affidavit will result in disqualification, the forfeiture of his or her interest in the Prize, and the selection of a substitute Entrant from among all remaining eligible Entries and/or Finalists.
