Sponsor will attempt to contact each selected entrant (or if the selected entrant is a minor, his or her legal guardian) within five (5) business days of the Contest draw by e-mail or telephone, at Sponsor’s sole discretion, from the information provided by that selected entrant in his or her Contest Entry Form.
In order to be confirmed as a winner in this Contest, a selected entrant must have complied with and remain in compliance with these Contest Rules, and must first correctly answer (or if the selected entrant is a minor, his or her legal guardian must correctly answer) without assistance of any kind, a time-limited, mathematical, skill-testing question to be administered at a pre-arranged time by telephone.
In addition to the foregoing the selected entrant must have reached the age of majority in their Province of residence on or before the Contest Draw Date in order to claim a Prize, otherwise the Prize will be awarded to the parent or legal guardian of the entrant, or an alternative winner will be chosen. The parent or legal guardian of the minor will be responsible for signing a Receipt, Release, Discharge, Publicity and Indemnity form on behalf of the minor. Sponsor reserves the right to verify the age of any selected prize winner.
Should a selected entrant not be reached within the 5 day period, for any reason, including, but not limited to, the fact that a selected entrant did not provide a functioning e-mail address or valid telephone number, or if that selected entrant is unable to answer the skill-testing question or does not meet all of the Contest conditions, the Prize shall be automatically forfeited by that selected entrant. In such event, another draw shall then be conducted where one (1) entry will be drawn at random from among all remaining eligible entries received during the Contest Period. The Sponsor will attempt to contact the new selected entrant within five (5) business days of the time at which such entrant was selected, by email or telephone, and subject to the same conditions as set out in this clause and in these Contest Rules. This process will be repeated until sufficient entrants are declared Contest winners or until no Contest entries remain. No communication will be entered into except with the selected entrants.
By entering the Contest, each Contest winner consents to the use of his or her name, city of residence, voice, photograph, statements and/or likeness, without additional compensation or permission, except where prohibited by law, in any publicity or advertising in any medium throughout the world in perpetuity carried by or on behalf of Sponsor, Contest Partners and/or their agencies and affiliates or agents.
