Multiple entrants are not permitted to
share the same Xbox Live Account. Any attempt by any entrant to
obtain more than one (1) entry by using multiple/different Xbox Live Accounts, email
addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void
that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to
participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder
of the email address used to
register will be deemed to be the
entrant. The “authorized account holder”
is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider,
online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email
addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized Xbox Live Account
holder.
5. Grand Prize Drawing: Administrator
is an independent judging organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the
Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winner are final and binding in
all matters related to the
Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes
winner from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period, on or
around November 13, 2017. The potential
winner will be notified by email. The winner
(or parent/legal guardian if winner is a minor in his/her state of residence)
will be required to sign and return
a Declaration of Compliance, Liability Waiver and where not prohibited a Publicity
Release ("Declaration") which must be received by Administrator,
within seven (7) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner of any prize
cannot be contacted, fails to sign
and return the Declaration or provide any other requested information within
the required time period (if applicable), or the prize is returned as
undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits his/her prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon
compliance with these Official Rules. In
the event that the potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor
will award the prize to an alternate
winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be
held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. Prize will be fulfilled within approximately
8-10 weeks after winner confirmation.
6. Prizes: ONE (1) GRAND PRIZE: One (1)
Samsung 55” QLED 4K television. Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $2,799.00.
Prize
details are in Sponsor’s sole discretion.
Prize is non-transferable and no substitution
will be made except as provided herein at the Sponsor’s sole discretion.
Sponsor reserves the right to
substitute the prize for one of equal or greater value if the designated prize
should become unavailable for any reason.
The actual value of electronic prizes is subject to price
fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things, any gap
in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these Official
Rules and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed. Winner is responsible for all taxes and fees
associated with prize receipt and/or use.
Odds of winning the prize depend on the number of eligible entries
received during the Promotion Period.
7. Release: By receipt of any prize, winner agrees
to release and hold harmless Sponsor, Administrator,
and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, distributors, advertising/promotion agencies, and prize
suppliers, and each of their respective parent companies and each such
company’s officers, directors,
employees and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and against
any claim or cause of action, including, but not limited to,
personal injury, death, or damage to
or loss of property, arising out of participation in the Sweepstakes and
Special Offer or receipt or use or
misuse of any prize.
8. Publicity:
Except where prohibited, participation in the Sweepstakes and Special Offer constitutes
winner’s consent to Sponsor’s and
its agents’ use of winner’s name, likeness, photograph,
voice, opinions and/or hometown and
state for promotional purposes in any media, worldwide, without further payment
or consideration.
9. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes, Special
Offer, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, human error or any
other factor impairs the integrity
or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes or Special Offer, as determined by
Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such
event with regard to the Sweepstakes, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may
elect to hold a random drawing from
among all eligible entries received up to
the date of discontinuance for any or all of the prizes offered herein. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to disqualify any
individual it finds to be tampering
with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or Special Offer or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of
this or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation
of the Sweepstakes or Special Offer 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.
10. Limitations
of Liability: The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any
incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, printing
errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in
the Sweepstakes or Special Offer; (2) technical failures of any kind,
including, but not limited to
malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network
hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the
entry process or the Sweepstakes or Special Offer; (4) technical or human error
which may occur in the administration of the Sweepstakes or Special Offer or
the processing of entries; (5) late, lost, undeliverable, damaged or stolen mail; or (6) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly
or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the
Sweepstakes and Special Offer or receipt or use or misuse of any prize. If
for any reason an entrant's entry is confirmed to
have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted,
entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the Sweepstakes, if it is possible.
No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event that production, technical,
seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than the stated number of
prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to
be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to
award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all
legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.
11. Disputes: Except where prohibited, entrant agrees
that: (1) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or
connected with this Sweepstakes and Special Offer or any prize awarded shall be resolved individually,
without resort to any form of class
action, and exclusively by the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan (Southern Division) or the appropriate Michigan State
Court located in Oakland County, Michigan; (2) any and all claims, judgments and
awards shall be limited to actual
out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this
Sweepstakes or Special Offer, but in no event attorneys’
fees; and (3) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and entrant hereby waives all
rights to claim, indirect, punitive,
incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other than for
actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to
have damages multiplied or otherwise increased.
All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity,
interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and
obligations of the entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes and
Special Offer, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Michigan without giving effect to
any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of Michigan or
any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Michigan.
