Any Entry that does not comply with these requirements, in the opinion of the judges or the Sponsor, may be disqualified. Sponsor may remove any Photo at any time for any reason from any online platform in its sole discretion, and entrant agrees to cooperate in removing such materials at Sponsor’s request. Sponsor reserves the right to waive the Sweepstakes entry requirements set forth herein in its reasonable discretion.
- Drawing Schedule/Odds of Winning: To be eligible for a Sweepstakes Drawing, an eligible Entry must be received during the corresponding Sweepstakes Entry Period (see table below). Non-winning entries will not be included in subsequent Sweepstakes Drawings. Sweepstakes Drawings will be conducted by the Administrator, an independent judging agency, whose decisions shall be final in all matters relating to each Sweepstakes. For each Sweepstakes Drawing, one (1) potential winner will be selected at random from among all eligible Entries received for that Sweepstakes Entry Period. Odds of winning a Sweepstakes prize depend on the total number of eligible Entries received for the corresponding Sweepstakes Entry Period. Potential winners are not actual winners until their eligibility has been verified, and it is determined to Sponsor’s satisfaction that they have complied with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules.

- Winner Notifications/Prize Awards/Publicity Consents: No entrant is deemed a winner until their eligibility has been verified and it is determined that he/she has complied with all terms of these Official Rules. As soon as reasonably practicable following the drawings, potential winners will be notified by Sponsor or Sponsor’s agent via reply to potential winner’s Facebook post or Facebook direct message, Instagram’s direct messaging system, or via email, depending on how the potential winner entered the Sweepstakes (“Initial Notification”). Potential winner will then be required to respond to that Initial Notification with their complete name, address, phone number, email address, and date of birth within 72 hours from the date such Initial Notification was sent or prize will be forfeited and may be awarded to an alternate winner. After potential winner responds to the Initial Notification with the information requested, at Sponsor’s sole discretion, they may be issued, via email, an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release of Liability and Publicity (where permitted) (“Affidavit”) and IRS Form W-9 (if applicable) and potential winner must complete and return the Affidavit within seven (7) days from date Affidavit is issued.

Potential winners may be required to demonstrate control of the Instagram or Facebook account associated with a winning Entry from social media Entries. Prizes will be awarded to winners within 4-6 weeks from the date it is confirmed that winners have complied with the above requirements. If any prize or prize-related communication is returned as undeliverable, prize will be forfeited. Unclaimed or undeliverable prizes may not be awarded. Failure by a potential winner to respond to the Instagram notification message, Facebook reply, phone call, or the email within the specified time-period, the return of a notification as undeliverable, noncompliance with these Official Rules, or Sponsor’s inability to contact a potential winner within a reasonable time-period, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, may result in forfeiture of potential winning status, and an alternate winner may be selected. Sponsor will make up to three (3) attempts to award each prize, and, if after three (3) attempts a prize remains unclaimed, the prize may not be awarded in Sponsor’s discretion. In no event will more than three (3) prizes be awarded.

Entrants who Sponsor determines to have not complied with these Official Rules are subject to disqualification. Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any entrant from this Sweepstakes or any other promotion conducted now or in the future by Sponsor or any of its affiliates if Sponsor suspects or finds entrant to be: (a) violating the Official Rules; (b) tampering or attempting to tamper with the entry process, the operation of the Sweepstakes; (c) acting in a disruptive manner, or with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person; or (d) attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes by cheating, hacking, deception, or other unfair playing practices or intending to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other entrants, Sponsor or Sponsor’s representatives. ANY ATTEMPT BY AN INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THIS SWEEPSTAKES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS, AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR MAY DISQUALIFY ANY SUCH INDIVIDUAL AND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES (INCLUDING LAWYERS’ FEES) FROM ANY SUCH INDIVIDUAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND TO BAN OR DISQUALIFY AN ENTRANT FROM THIS AND FUTURE PROMOTIONS. All materials submitted become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned or acknowledged.
- Binding Arbitration: Subject to applicable laws, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Sweepstakes shall be settled by binding arbitration in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for claimant), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, in accordance with the procedural rules for commercial disputes set forth in the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (“JAMS Rules and Procedures”) then prevailing, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator shall apply Missouri law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. In the event that the claimant is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Sponsor will pay as much of the claimant’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal (other than that such claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable, or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither claimant nor Sponsor shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. Upon filing a demand for arbitration, all parties to such arbitration shall have the right of discovery, which discovery shall be completed within sixty (60) days after the demand for arbitration is made, unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties.
SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAWS, THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE IN THE ENTRANT’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW MANDATORY ARBITRATION, WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS, THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO RELEVANT PORTIONS OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO EVERY ENTRANT.
