In the event a winning entry is discovered to be invalid for any reason whatsoever or the person who submitting the winning entry(s) is discovered to be invalid for any reason whatsoever or the person who submitted the winning entry fails to comply with these official rules prior to delivery of prize, the prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.

Sponsor is not responsible for e-mail communication problems of any kind. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within three (3) days of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected.
VERIFICATION OF WINNERS: Potential winners will be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”). If any potential winner fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents within two (2) days of prize notification (or such shorter time if exigencies may require), the winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected.
