General Prize Conditions: The Grand Prizes will be awarded only if the potential Grand Prize winners fully comply with these Official Rules. All portions of the Grand Prizes are non-assignable and non-transferable. The Grand Prize winners shall be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, deduct or withhold the amount of applicable tax on any cash or cash equivalent prize. The Sponsor will issue and file an IRS Form 1099 or equivalent tax withholding documentation for the retail value of the prize or other items of value transferred to the Grand Prize winners by the Sponsor in accordance with IRS requirements, and the Sponsor may also share such documentation with a state or local government agency as required by law. Refusal or failure of the prize winner to satisfy the requirements of all necessary and appropriate tax, withholding or other required compliance terms (including Social Security number, IRS Form W8BEN, IRS Form W9, or equivalent information), as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, may result in any Grand Prize winner forfeiting the Grand Prize and an alternate potential Grand Prize winner may be determined in accordance with these Official Rules. The potential Grand Prize winners will be required to execute a Declaration of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release and Assignment of Rights (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”).

Return of prize notification email as undeliverable or if winner does not meet eligibility requirements may result in disqualification and alternate Grand Prize winner may be determined.

Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an Entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with Entrant’s Instagram account will be deemed to be the Entrant. “Authorized account holder” of an email address is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.

In the event an insufficient number of eligible Entries are received and/or Sponsor is prevented from awarding prizes or continuing with the Contest as contemplated herein by any event beyond its control, including but not limited to fire, flood, earthquake, windstorm, epidemic, pandemic, public health crisis, disease, virus, sickness or outbreak or other similar or dissimilar natural disaster; act of God or public enemy; riot or civil disturbance, act of any government or governmental authority, power failure, satellite or equipment failure, failure of telecommunications lines or failure or breakdown of plant, machinery or vehicles operated by a third party; labor dispute, strike, or lockout; actual or threat of war, armed conflict, terrorist attacks, war (declared, undeclared or threatened), explosion, nuclear, or chemical or biological contamination; or a government imposed travel ban, restriction on movement or gatherings, or other government imposed mandate of any kind, order of any court or jurisdiction, or other cause not reasonably within Sponsor’s control (each a “Force Majeure” event or occurrence), Sponsor reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Contest. If the Contest is terminated before the designated end date, Sponsor may (if possible) determine the winners (as applicable) from all eligible, non-suspect Entries received as of the date of the event giving rise to the termination based on the Judging Criteria listed above. Only the type and quantity of prize described in these Official Rules will be awarded. These Official Rules cannot be modified or amended in any way except in a written document issued in accordance with law by a duly authorized representative of Sponsor. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. If any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein As a condition of participating in the Contest or winning a prize, Entrant agrees that: 1) under no circumstance will Entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and Entrant hereby waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, consequential or any other damages, other than for out-of-pocket expenses; 2) all causes of action arising out of or connected with this Contest, or any prize awarded, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action; and 3) any and all claims, judgments, and award shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, but in no event attorneys’ fees.

Sponsor may use the Entry/Footage with or without attribution to the Entrant. The Sponsor and Released Parties shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to edit, composite, morph, scan, duplicate, or alter the Entry/Footage for any purpose which the Sponsor and Released Parties deem necessary or desirable, and each Entrant irrevocably waives any and all so-called “moral rights” they may have therein.

Publicity Release: Without in any way limiting the rights granted in the Entry, as set forth above, acceptance of prize constitutes winners’ permission for the Contest Entities to use and share each winner’s Entry (if applicable) and their name (first name and last initial only), photograph, likeness, voice, Footage, and statements and address (city and state only) in and in connection with advertising, marketing, promotional, and/or publicity purposes for the Contest, Sponsor and Released Parties, and all uses of the Entry permitted herein, worldwide and in all forms of media and by any and all means and media now known or hereafter developed, in perpetuity, without any obligation, notice, or further compensation to each winner.
Nature of Relationship/Waiver of Equitable Relief: Each Entrant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between the Entrant, Sponsor, and the Released Parties is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other special relationship, and that the Entrant’s decision to provide the Entrant’s Entry (if applicable) to Sponsor for purposes of the Contest does not place the Sponsor and Released Parties in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public with regard to elements of the Entrant’s Entry. Each Entrant understands and acknowledges that the Sponsor and Released Parties have wide access to ideas, stories, designs, and other literary materials, and that new ideas are constantly being submitted to the Sponsor and Released Parties or being developed by their own employees. Each Entrant also acknowledges that many ideas may be competitive with, similar or identical to the Entry and/or each other in theme, idea, plot, format or other respects.

Finally, each Entrant acknowledges that, with respect to any claim by Entrant relating to or arising out of the Sponsor or a Released Party’s actual or alleged exploitation or use of any Entry or other material submitted in connection with the Contest, the damage, if any, thereby caused to the applicable Entrant will not be irreparable or otherwise sufficient to entitle such Entrant to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and Entrant’s rights and remedies in any such event shall be strictly limited to the right to recover damages, if any, in an action at law.
No Obligation to Use: The Sponsor and Released Parties shall have no obligation (express or implied) to use any Entry or Program Contents, or to otherwise exploit any Entry or, if commenced, to continue the distribution or exploitation thereof, and the Sponsor and Released Parties may at any time abandon the use of the Entry for any reason, with or without legal justification or excuse, and Entrants shall not be entitled to any damages or other relief by reason thereof.
Anticipated Number of Entrants: Sponsor cannot accurately predict the number of Entrants who will participate in the Contest.
Further Documentation: If Sponsor shall desire to secure additional assignments, certificates of engagement for the Entry or other documents as Sponsor may reasonably require in order to effectuate the purposes and intents of these Official Rules, then each Entrant agrees to sign the same upon Sponsor’s request therefor.
