Not providing the answer within the required time period, providing an incorrect or incomplete answer, or noncompliance with the terms of administration of the skill-testing question will result in disqualification of the potential winner and an alternate winner may be selected.

In the event that a prize notification or a prize is returned as undeliverable, or if a potential Prize winner is found to be ineligible or is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate Prize winner selected by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only one (1) alternate drawing will be held, after which any remaining Prizes will remain un-awarded.  

All potential prize WINNERS are subject to verification by Sponsor AND/or Administrator, whose decisions are final AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROMOTION. A participant is not a winner of any Prize unless and until participant’s eligibility HAS been verified.
