All Potential Winners are subject to verification, including without limitation, verification of eligibility, compliance with these Official Rules and completion of release forms. In addition, Sponsor reserves the right to require a confidential background check upon the Potential Winner selection to help ensure that the use of any such person in advertising or publicity for the Contest will not bring Sponsor or Contest Parties into public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavorably on the Contest or Sponsor, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, and that the awarding of the prize to the Potential Winner will not violate applicable U.S. laws or regulations. In addition, Sponsor reserves the right to require the Potential Winner to submit the information necessary for the confidential background check and authorize the check through electronic means designated by Sponsor and/or its service providers, in order to expedite the process of verifying the Potential Winner as eligible to receive the Grand Prize. If Potential Winner has been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor of moral turpitude or has filed a petition in bankruptcy within the previous ten (10) years, or Potential Winner fails to submit the information for the background check and authorize the check electronically where instructed to do so by Sponsor, or Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that use of the Potential Winner in advertising might reflect unfavorably on the Sponsor or that the awarding of the prize may violate applicable U.S. laws or regulations, the Sponsor may disqualify the Potential Winner. If attempted notification is returned as undeliverable, if a Potential Winner is not verified as eligible or cleared via the background check, or if a Potential Winner is otherwise ineligible to receive the Grand Prize, the Grand Prize will be forfeited and may be awarded to an alternate Winner in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Entrants agree that the Sponsor has the sole right to decide all matters and disputes arising from this Contest and that all decisions of Sponsor are final and binding.
