Entry materials that have been tampered with or altered are void. No facsimiles of entries will be accepted. If, in the Sponsor and/or Administrator’s opinion there is any suspected or actual evidence of electronic or non-electronic tampering with any portion of the Sweepstakes, or if technical difficulties compromise the integrity of the Sweepstakes, the Sponsor and/or Administrator reserves the right to void any entries at issue and/or to suspend, modify or cancel or terminate the Sweepstakes, in whole or in part, at any time without notice and award the Prize in a random drawing from among all non-suspect eligible entries received as of the termination date.

Any attempt by a participant or any other individual to deliberately damage any online service or web site or undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and/or other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision.
