A Contest is a Promotion in which the potential winner may be selected on the basis of some merit or skill specified in the announcement, while a Giveaway is a Promotion in which the potential winner may be selected randomly based solely on chance. Any Promotion offered by Sponsor is subject to the following terms and conditions: 1. Promotion Announcement.

Agreement to Rules. Any Entrant who does not agree with these terms and conditions should not enter into a Promotion. Participation in a Promotion constitutes Entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Official Promotion Rules, including amendments and rules contained in a Promotion Announcement, and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final and binding in all respects. By entering any Promotion, Entrant agrees to abide by the rules of the Promotion and to accept the decisions of Sponsor as final, binding and non-appealable. 3. No Purchase Necessary.

Entrant must have reached the age of the majority in the state of residence at time of entry.

Entries received after the deadline set forth in the Promotion Announcement are ineligible, null, and void. Sponsor will not be responsible for and will not consider incomplete or incorrect entries.
