A “day” is understood to mean a day during the Sweepstakes Period between 12:00 a.m. ET and 11:59 p.m. ET.

Sponsor is not responsible for lost, interrupted or unavailable network server or other connection; miscommunications; failed phone or computer or telephone transmissions; technical failure; jumbled, scrambled or misdirected transmissions; late, lost, incomplete, delayed, or misdirected entries; or other error of any kind whether human, mechanical, or electronic. Limit one (1) entry per user account per day. Limit one (1) prize per household. Multiple entries received in violation of the foregoing entry limitation, false or deceptive acts or entries, or entries generated by script, macro or other automated means will be void, will render a participant ineligible, and also may result in participant no longer being allowed to enter Sponsor's sweepstakes, contests or other promotions in the future, at Sponsor's sole discretion. All participant entry information such as player name, scores, and activity submitted during the Sweepstakes Period become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned. Any personal information you are providing to enter this Sweepstakes will be used only to administer the Sweepstakes. Sponsor must detect your mobile device within the United States of America including the District of Columbia or Canada, excluding Quebec. Sponsor’s designated computer is the only valid official time-keeping device for determining the end of the Sweepstakes Period for the Sweepstakes. If there is a dispute as to any Entrant or entries made via a mobile device, the Entrant will be deemed the natural person who is the authorized account holder for the wireless provider used by the mobile device.

  4. WINNER SELECTION/VALIDATION:

    Winners will be selected at random by the Administrator from among all eligible entries per the schedule below starting on or about 12/12/17 at 3pmET in Westport, CT. Entry for one drawing will not be valid for all remaining drawings. You may participate each day of the Sweepstakes and receive one (1) entry per day for a maximum of seven (7) entries during the Sweepstakes period. All winners are subject to validation. Potential winners will be notified via an in-app notification message promptly after winner selection. Potential winners must complete the prize acceptance and validation form within 7 days of initial receipt of the in-app notification. If a potential winner is from Canada, he/she will have to successfully answer a timed mathematical question to receive a prize. You are not a winner until validated and you receive official notification from the Sponsor. It is entirely each Entrant’s responsibility to ensure that he/she responds to the winner notification by the given deadline. If a potential winner cannot be reached after a reasonable effort has been exerted (response within seven (7) days of receipt of initial in-game notification), he or she is found to be ineligible at any point during the administration of the Sweepstakes, he or she cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, Sponsor’s Terms and Conditions or the Sponsor’s or the Administrator’s instructions, or if his or her prize, prize notification, or other Sweepstakes-related correspondence is faulty, rejected, or returned as undeliverable, that potential winner may be disqualified without notification and an alternate potential winner may be selected at Sponsor’s discretion. In the event that a potential winner cannot be reached or does not respond within the aforementioned timeframe, Sponsor shall randomly select an alternate winner. Only two (2) alternate winners will be contacted per drawing, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. Winners will be required to sign and return, when requested, an affidavit of eligibility, a name and likeness release, and prize/publicity release (the “Sweepstakes Documents”) within seven (7) business days of accepting the applicable prize(s). All winners may also be required to provide to Sponsor all documentation requested by Sponsor to permit it to comply with all applicable USA, state and local tax reporting and withholding requirements, including but not limited to an IRS W-9 form. A potential winner (or any alternate potential winner if one must be selected) is not official and will not be confirmed as a winner until he/she has completed, signed and returned the Sweepstakes Documents and any required tax-related documents such as an IRS W-9, and the eligibility of the potential winner has been verified. By taking part in the Sweepstakes, you agree to be bound by these rules and all decisions of the Sponsor which are final and binding on all aspects of the Sweepstakes.
