6. Prize Drawing
On or about July 1, 2021, the Sponsor will select potential winners in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. The drawing will be conducted by Sponsor, whose decisions and interpretations on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes and these Official Rules are final and binding in all respects. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entrant or winner and may refuse to award a prize to a person who is not eligible or has violated a rule, gained unfair advantage in the Sweepstakes, or obtained winner status using fraudulent means. The odds of being selected depend on the number of entries received.
7. Winner Notification
The Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winner via email within 48 hours of winner selection. If the potential winner does not reply to the winner notification email within seven (7) days by returning the completed Declaration of Compliance, the potential winner will forfeit the prize. Sponsor is not responsible for misdirected emails, or if potential winner does not locate the email due to it arriving in a junk, spam, social, promotions, or any other folder. Each potential winner (parent/legal guardian if a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to complete, sign, and return to Sponsor via email a Declaration of Compliance within seven (7) days of the date that the winner notification email is sent, in order to claim the prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to submit the Declaration of Compliance within the required time period, potential winner is disqualified and forfeits the prize. If the potential winner is at least 18 but still considered a minor in her/his jurisdiction of residence, Sponsor reserves the right to award the prize in the name of her/his parent or legal guardian, who will be required to sign the Declaration of Compliance on the potential winner's behalf and fulfill any other requirements imposed on winner set forth herein. Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor may attempt to award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries at Sponsor's discretion. Prize will be sent to winner by email or U.S. Mail as deemed appropriate by the Sponsor, approximately 7-14 days after the Declaration of Compliance has been received by the Sponsor from the winner. If prize is returned as undeliverable, then prize will be forfeited by the winner.
