decisions as to the selection of the potential winner
are final and binding. Administrator will randomly select the potential
Sweepstakes winner from all eligible entries received during the Promotion

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 3 days of the date notice or attempted
notice is sent in order to claim the prize. If
potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the Declaration
or provide any other requested information within the required time-period, or
the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize.
Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that the potential winner is disqualified for
any reason or forfeits the prize, Sponsor will award the prize to an alternate
