Potential winner will be notified via the email address they used to enter the Sweepstakes. If the potential Prize winner is a Canadian resident, he or she will be required to: (a) correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question without mechanical or other aid (which may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, be administered online, by email or other electronic means, by telephone, or in the Sponsor’s form of declaration and release); and (b) execute and return to Sponsor a declaration of eligibility, a liability release (which releases the Sweepstakes Parties and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns collectively, the “Released Parties” from any and all liability in connection with this Sweepstakes and/or the awarding and use/misuse of the Prize or any portion thereof), an IRS W-9 form (for US residents) and a publicity release within ten (10) days of the date of issuance.

Except where prohibited, acceptance of the prize constitutes the winner’s consent that his/her name, likeness, and/or biographical data may be used for advertising and promotional purposes without limitation and without additional notice, compensation, or consent. Only one (1) alternate entrant per prize will be contacted.
