Opting in to receive communications does not improve one’s chances of winning any prize. The privacy policy for any Sweepstakes Entity participating in an opt-in will be accessible from the Sweepstakes entry form. Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual found to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes; to be acting in violation of the Official Rules, or to be acting in a non-sportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person. Any person attempting to defraud or in any way tamper with the Sweepstakes will be ineligible to win a prize and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If, for any reason, the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as originally planned, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to cancel, suspend or modify the Sweepstakes and instruct the Sweepstakes administrator to conduct any or all of the drawings and award the prize(s) from all eligible Sweepstakes Entries for a given drawing received prior to and/or after (as appropriate) the action taken by Sponsor, or award the prizes in a manner that is fair and equitable. In case of a dispute over the identity of an entrant who submitted a winning Sweepstakes Entry, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with that Sweepstakes Entry will be deemed the entrant. The "authorized account holder" is deemed the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, service provider or other online organization that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address. Said owner must comply with these Official Rules and, at Sponsor's sole discretion, may be required to provide proof of ownership of the email account.
