CONDITIONS OF ENTRY: An Entry must fulfill all Entry Requirements and Sweepstakes requirements in these Official Rules, as specified, to be eligible to win a prize. An Entry may only be submitted by a single registered social media account user. Unlimited Entries accepted per person during the Entry Period; group or commercial submissions are not permissible.

Sponsor has the right to verify Entries and/or entrants’ eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, and on the basis of the investigation, to disqualify any entrant at any time during or after the Entry Period. Without limiting the foregoing, Sponsor shall have the right at any time, where necessary, to undertake all action including, but not limited to, voiding/cancelling the Sweepstakes, subjecting a winner to disqualification, prize forfeiture and/or immediate prize return (from a previously confirmed winner, if applicable) and/or requiring further information as is reasonable to protect itself or any one of the Promotion Parties against fraudulent or invalid claims, potential public scandal, ridicule, or disrepute in awarding a prize to any entrant or winner. Incomplete, invalid, illegal, unsuitable, or otherwise non-compliant Entries (as determined in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion) will not be eligible to win. If, upon review, Sponsor (or its authorized representative) is unable to determine that an entrant/ Entry is compliant, or reasonably suspects that he/she/it is not compliant in whole or in part, the Entry as a whole (and entrant) may be disqualified.

Entrants may not enter through an on-line sweepstakes club (paid or unpaid, or similar method), bots, robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar Entry methods or agents, with multiple or false identities, accounts, devices and/or e-mail addresses, nor shall entrants use any other device or artifice to enter or participate. Any entrant who is suspected of cheating, using fraudulent means, unauthorized Entry methods, attempting to participate multiple times, with multiple e-mails, accounts, and/or addresses under multiple or false identities, or engaging in or benefitting, directly or indirectly, from such artifice or artifice of any other kind, as determined in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion, will void all such Entries, and disqualify any entrant suspected of using/benefitting from such methods. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the Authorized Account Holder of the Platform account used in connection with such Entry will be deemed to be the entrant. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the Authorized Account Holder or eligibility. The “Authorized Account Holder” is the natural person assigned to a Platform account by the Platform, which is responsible for assigning Platform accounts associated with the submitted e-mail address and other personal information required to create an account.

A delay may occur between uploading an Entry and availability into the public gallery, if any. If an Entry in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, garners comments that are unpleasant, distasteful, nasty or otherwise inappropriate for Sponsor’s community, or if Sponsor considers for any reason an entry, or any element thereof, not to be in the spirit of the Sweepstakes, or will have a detrimental impact on Sponsor, this Sweepstakes, any of Sponsor’s brands, products or services, or the Entry does not initially appear compliant with the respective Platform guidelines, then Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify such Entry/entrant and remove any/all such Entry/Entries immediately from the gallery (if any) and this Sweepstakes.
YOUR USE OF A MOBILE DEVICE: If an entrant is participating in the Sweepstakes via a mobile device, message and data rates may apply.

The total value of the Prize is up to $1,490.00.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Prize is limited as defined above, and any and all costs and expenses associated with Winner’s use of the Prize are solely the Winner’s responsibility, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses related to travel, lodging, parking, concessions, gratuities and tips, insurance, merchandise and taxes.
The odds of winning a Prize depend on and will be determined by the total number of eligible Entries received during the Entry Period, as represented by the total number of eligible Entries submitted during the Entry Period which comply with these Official Rules at the time the Entry Period ends and complying with the Entry Requirements.
The Winner will be notified by Sponsor via Platform direct message on or around October 12, 2024, with additional instructions to claim the Prize. The Winner must respond to such direct message to confirm receipt and claim the Prize no later than 11:59 p.m. CT on October 14, 2024. The Winner will be required to provide additional contact information to Sponsor, including a valid e-mail address for delivery of the Prize, in order to be confirmed as a Winner and receive the Prize. A Platform story post announcing the Winner will be made within one day once the Winner is confirmed. The Winner will be required to accept the Prize and may be required to execute and return a notarized Affidavit of Eligibility/Release of Liability, an IRS W-9 form, each within one week of the Winner notification date, and where permitted by law, a Publicity Release (“Affidavit”). The Prize will be sent to the Winner via the e-mail address provided to Sponsor, within one week following the date on which the Winner is confirmed and announced by Sponsor, or, if requested, within one week of Sponsor’s receipt of the Winner’s executed Affidavit and all other documentation as required by Sponsor. Failure to respond to the Winner notification as detailed above or return all required forms within the stated time period, or to comply with any other provision herein, may result in such Winner being disqualified and an alternate Winner may be selected at Sponsor’s sole discretion. If a Prize notification or the Prize is returned as undeliverable for any reason, the Prize may be awarded to an alternate Winner at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor shall have no liability for any selected Winner’s failure to receive notices due to such selected Winner’s spam, junk e-mail, other security settings or Platform settings or for such selected Winner’s provision of incorrect or otherwise non-functioning contact information. All Prizes are not transferable or assignable. If the Prize remains unclaimed, the Prize may be deemed forfeited entirely at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. THE PRIZES ARE AWARDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), AND THE RELEASEES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SWEEPSTAKES OR ANY PRIZE.
No cash or other prize substitution for the Prize by the Winner will be permitted. All Federal, State and local tax liabilities, if any, are the sole responsibility of the Winner. Any person winning over $600 in prizes during any one-year period will receive an IRS Form 1099 at the end of the calendar year, and a copy of such form will be filed with the IRS. Acceptance of the Prize constitutes permission (except where prohibited) for Sponsor and/or its affiliates to use such Winner’s name, statements, photographs, video images and biographies for publicity purposes without any limitation or additional compensation. Sponsor is not obligated to use any of the above-mentioned information or materials. No changes will be made to Prize details once any portion of Prize arrangements has been made.
By entering this Sweepstakes and accepting the Prize, the Winner agrees to maintain his or her behavior in accordance with all applicable laws and generally accepted social practices in connection with participation in any Sweepstakes or Prize-related activity. The Winner understands and agrees that Sponsor or any prize provider has the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any winner if such Winner’s behavior causes damage to the reputation of Sponsor or any prize provider or otherwise violates the policies of the prize providers.
GOVERNING LAW/LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY: The Sweepstakes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other state’s laws.
The Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, the Platform or any Platform affiliated company. By participating in the Sweepstakes, entrants agree to release, discharge and hold harmless Sponsor, the Platform and their parents, subsidiaries, divisions, branches, affiliates, assigns and agencies, including, without limitation, their respective officers, directors, shareholders, representatives, managers, members, owners, attorneys, predecessors, successors, assigns, employees and agents (collectively, the “Releasees”) from and against any and all claims they may have against Releasees for any and all injuries, claims, damages, losses, costs, or liability of any kind due to any injuries, damages or losses to any person (including death) or property of any kind, or expenses of any kind (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) resulting in whole or in part, directly or indirectly from acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of any Prize or any element thereof, or participation in any Sweepstakes-related activity, or participation in this Sweepstakes. Each entrant further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from and against any and all liability resulting or arising from the Sweepstakes and to release all rights to bring any claim, action or proceeding against Releasees and hereby acknowledge that Releasees have neither made nor are in any manner responsible or liable for any warranties provided exclusively by a supplier that may be sent along with any Prize. Entrants further understand and agree that all rights under State law that may be applicable with respect to the foregoing release are hereby expressly and forever waived. Entrants acknowledge that: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
BY ENTERING THE SWEEPSTAKES, ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (1) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (2) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; (3) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00), AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; AND (4) ENTRANTS’ REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A CLAIM FOR MONEY DAMAGES (IF ANY) AND ENTRANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Releasees shall not be liable to the Winner or any other person for failure to supply any Prize or any part thereof, by reason of any acts of God, any action(s), regulation(s), order(s) or request(s) by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity (whether or not the action(s), regulation(s), order(s) or request(s) prove(s) to be invalid), equipment failure, terrorist acts, earthquake, tsunami, war, fire, flood, explosion, volcanic eruption, unusually severe weather, hurricane, embargo, labor dispute or strike (whether legal or illegal), labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slow-down, civil disturbance, insurrection, riot, or any other cause beyond Releasees’ sole control.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION: The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in Texas and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Sweepstakes shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within 14 days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Chicago, IL, New York City, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Atlanta, GA or Dallas, TX (whichever is closest to entrant’s residence); provided, however, if none of these locations are convenient for the hearing, the parties may mutually agree on an alternative location. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Texas. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
GENERAL: If for any reason this Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned, or if this Sweepstakes or any web site or e-mail address associated therewith (or any portion thereof) or the Platform becomes corrupted or does not allow the proper execution of the Sweepstakes and processing of Entries in accordance with these rules, or if infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by entrants, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes, in Sponsor’s sole opinion, corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of this Sweepstakes, Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in such action and/or to cancel, terminate, modify, or suspend this Sweepstakes or any portion thereof. In the event this Sweepstakes is cancelled, Sponsor will conduct a random drawing to award the Prizes from among all eligible, non-suspect Entries received prior to the time of the action or event warranting such cancellation. ANY ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY WEB SITE OR E-MAIL ADDRESS OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Further, in the event the Winner engages in behavior that (as determined by Sponsor or any prize provider in its or their sole and absolute discretion) is obnoxious, inappropriate, or threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify such selected Winner. If a dispute arises about who submitted an Entry via the Platform, the Entry will be deemed submitted by the Authorized Account Holder of the Platform account included in the Entry. A potential Winner may be requested to provide Sponsor with proof that such potential Winner is the Authorized Account Holder of the Platform account associated with the winning Entry and that all eligibility requirements are met. Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to supplement or make changes to these Official Rules at any time without notice.
WINNER LIST/OFFICIAL RULES REQUEST: For a list of Winner(s), send a self-addressed stamped envelope to Content Marketing 5400 LBJ Freeway, Suite 800 Dallas, TX 75240.
MISCELLANEOUS: The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules or the Affidavit, as applicable, will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Official Rules or the Affidavit, as applicable, is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. When terms such as “may” are used in these Official Rules, Sponsor has sole and absolute discretion. Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision hereof. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use on the website and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
