If, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion, it is determined that: any entry has not complied with these Official Rules, Sponsor is unable to contact a potential winner within a reasonable time period, a potential winner has failed to properly execute and return any required documents within the specified time period, has made false statements, or notification is returned as undeliverable, then such entry will be disqualified. If any entrant is disqualified for any reason, at Sponsor’s discretion, a runner-up may be selected and/or issued the applicable prize (time permitting). Should a potential prize winner decide to decline the prize for any reason whatsoever, Sponsor shall have no further obligation to that potential winner, and an alternate potential winner will be selected, time permitting.
