An email “Authorized user” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet mail service, Internet access provider, online service provider or organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the email address.

Online entries must be made by an individual from a stand-alone computer device and may not be made by proxy or any electronic/automated means such as script, bot, macro or any other similar software or program. You may not enter with multiple emails and/or multiple identities nor may you use any other device or artifice to obtain more than one (1) entry into each Sweepstakes. All discovered entries made in violation of these rules will be deleted and be deemed ineligible to participate in the drawings.

5.        Winner Selection: One (1) potential Grand Prize winner from each of the four (4) participating regions will be chosen in separate, random drawings approximately 30 days after each Sweepstakes-End from all eligible online entries from a particular region received during the Sweepstakes Period and mail-in entries postmarked by Sweepstakes-End and received up to seven (7) days later. Potential winners will be notified by phone or email, in Sponsor’s/Administrator’s discretion to the phone number or email address entered on the survey. The notification will require the potential winner to respond within five (5) days with a valid mailing address and agreeing to accept the prize. Prizes won by a minor will require a completed Parent/Guardian Consent Form.

Failure to respond within that timeframe will indicate to Administrator that the prize has been declined for all time and another potential winner will be selected in random drawings. Neither Sponsor nor Administrator is responsible for electronic communications which are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind or insufficient space in entrant's email or phone account to receive messages. Only one (1) prize will be awarded in each participating region in each Sweepstakes.
