Final eligibility for the award of any prize is subject to verification, as set forth in these Official Rules. The Sweepstakes Administrator is not the supplier or guarantor of the prize(s).

Drawing(s): The Sweepstakes Administrator, an independent compliance organization, will randomly select Virtual Super Fans and alternates from among all eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes period. The first drawing occurs February 9, 2024 and additional drawings occur on or about February 23, 2024 and March 8, 2024 (each a “Drawing Date”). Additional drawings may be conducted due to production exigencies. Non-winning eligible Entries will be retained and entered into subsequent random drawings.

Notification/Verification: The potential Virtual Super Fans will be notified via phone or email at the mobile telephone phone number/email address provided in their Entry Information within a reasonable time after the applicable Drawing Date. During notification, each potential Virtual Super Fan will be required to answer a series of eligibility questions, confirm he/she is able to set up and participate in a video conference via ZOOM, complete a participant agreement, and/or any other documentation the Sponsor requires within three (3) days. If a potential Virtual Super Fan is from a state that deems him/her to be a minor, his/her parent or legal/guardian will be notified on his/her behalf. If a potential Virtual Super Fan(s) does not respond within the required timeframe; if he/she is found to be ineligible; if he/she does not comply with these Official Rules; or if his/her notification is returned as undeliverable, then that person may be disqualified and an alternate potential Virtual Super Fan(s) may be selected in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.

Potential winner(s) of a prize valued at $600 or more will be required to electronically sign and return an unmodified Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, (where legal) a Publicity Release (collectively “Affidavit/Release”), an IRS W-9 Form, a copy of his/her legible government-issued photo identification, and any other documentation that Sponsor requires within five (5) days after receipt by potential winner(s) or said person(s) may be disqualified. Documents received electronically have the same force and effect as originals. By completing an Affidavit/Release, such winner attests to the provisions stated therein including the accuracy of the information contained therein and compliance with these Official Rules. If a potential winner is found to be ineligible; does not complete the Affidavit/Release/IRS W-9 Form; and/or if he/she does not comply with these Official Rules said potential winner will be disqualified. If potential winner(s) is a resident of a jurisdiction that deems him/her to be a minor, his/her parent or legal guardian will be required to sign the Affidavit/Release/IRS W-9 Form on his/her behalf and the prize will be awarded in the name of said parent/legal guardian.

The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to disqualify any individual found to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes, to be acting in violation of the Official Rules, or to be acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person. Any person attempting to defraud or tamper with the Sweepstakes will be prosecuted and is not eligible for a prize. If for any reason, the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as originally planned, the Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to cancel, suspend, and/or modify the Sweepstakes or any portion thereof and to conduct the applicable drawing and award the prize(s) from all salvageable eligible Entries received prior to and/or after (as appropriate) the action taken by the Sponsor, or award the prize in a manner that is fair and equitable. Notice of such action by the Sponsor will be posted on the Website as well as any applicable social media platforms. In case of a dispute over the identity of an entrant who submitted a winning Entry, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with that Entry will be deemed the entrant. Said person must comply with these Official Rules, be the person who completed the act of entering, and, in the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion, may be required to provide proof of ownership of the email account.

The failure of the Sponsor to comply with any provision of these Official Rules due to an act of God, hurricane, war, fire, demonstrations, riot, earthquake, terrorism, act of public enemies, strikes, epidemics, pandemics, actions of governmental authorities outside of the control of the Sponsor (excepting compliance with applicable codes and regulations), or other force majeure event will not be considered a breach of these Official Rules.

GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, ARBITRATION: Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to (i) the Sweepstakes, (ii) the awarding or redemption of any prize, and/or (iii) the determination of the scope or applicability of these Official Rules or their enforcement or interpretation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the state of California without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other state’s laws. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Official Rules, its enforcement, arbitrability or interpretation shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration, to be held in Los Angeles County, California, before a single arbitrator, in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1280 et seq. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of Sponsor and the entrant or entrants bringing forth the controversy or claim, which to the extent permissible must be brought individually and not as part of a class/group (collectively, the “Parties”) or, if the Parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS/Endispute. The arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based. The Parties will share equally in payment of the arbitrator’s fees and arbitration expenses and any other costs unique to the arbitration hearing (recognizing that each side bears its own deposition, witness, expert, and attorneys’ fees and other expenses to the same extent as if the matter were being heard in court). Entrant(s) agrees that his/her claim will be resolved individually, exclusively by arbitration, without resort to any form of class action. Each entrant further agrees that any claim/judgment/award in such arbitration shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with participating in the Sweepstakes and in no event will entrant(s) be permitted to obtain attorneys' fees, other legal costs and/or be entitled to awards. Entrant(s) hereby waives all rights to claim 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 increased. Should any term of this section be deemed by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction void, unenforceable or contrary to law, such term shall, but only to the extent necessary to bring this section within the requirements of the law, be deemed to be severed from the other terms of these Official Rules, and the remainder of these Official Rules shall be given effect as if it had not included the severed term herein. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF.
