ADDITIONAL
TERMS: Sponsors
reserve the right to permanently disqualify from any promotion any person they
believe has intentionally violated these Official Rules. Any attempt to deliberately damage the
Sweepstakes or the operation thereof is unlawful and subject to legal action by

permitted by law. The failure of Sponsors to comply with any provision of these
Official Rules due to an act of God, hurricane, war, fire, riot, earthquake,
terrorism, act of public enemies, Sponsors'
reasonable determination of a risk to public health or safety, actions of
governmental authorities outside of the control of Sponsors (excepting compliance with applicable codes
and regulations), or other “force majeure” event will not be considered a
breach of these Official Rules. Released Parties assume no responsibility for

cancel, modify, or suspend the Sweepstakes or any element thereof (including,
without limitation, these Official Rules) without notice in any manner and for
any reason (including, without limitation, in the event of any unanticipated
occurrence that is not fully addressed in these Official Rules). In the
event of cancellation, modification, or suspension, Sponsors reserve the right
to select Winner in a random
drawing from among all eligible, non-suspect Entries received prior to the time
of the event warranting such cancellation, modification, or suspension. Notice
of such cancellation, modification, or suspension will be posted on the Website. Sponsors may prohibit any Entrant or
potential entrant from participating in the Sweepstakes, if such Entrant or
potential entrant shows a disregard for these Official Rules; acts with an
intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other Entrant, Sponsors, or Sponsors' agents or representatives;
or behaves in any other disruptive manner (as determined in Sponsors' sole discretion). Sponsors reserve the right
to modify these Official Rules for clarification purposes without materially
affecting the terms and conditions of the Sweepstakes.
