Privacy Policy: Any personal information supplied by you to SDP will be subject to SDP’s privacy policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent applicable, by entering the Sweepstakes you grant SDP permission to use your name, biographical information, image, and likeness for editorial, advertising, promotional, and publicity purposes without additional compensation except where prohibited by law. Entrant releases and holds harmless the Released Parties for any liability, claims, and causes of action based on defamation or violation of rights of publicity or privacy.

General Rules:

Employees of Sponsor and its parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, sweepstakes, and fulfilment agencies, their immediate family members, and persons living in their same household are not eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes. Participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes the Entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Official Rules. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

By entering, Entrant agrees to be bound by these Official Rules. The Sweepstakes is offered by Sponsor, which is not responsible for late, lost, delayed, damaged, postage-due, incomplete, illegible, or misdirected entries, responses, or other correspondence.

By participating, Entrants and winners, as applicable, release Sponsor, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, sponsors, and agents, including advertising and Sweepstakes agencies (collectively, the “Sponsor Released Parties”), from any and all liability with respect to the Sweepstakes or the acceptance, possession or use of any Prize. Entrants and winners further release the Sponsor Released Parties without limitation from any liability, damages, or causes of action resulting from: (i) any condition caused by events beyond the Sponsor Released Parties’ control that may cause the Sweepstakes to be disrupted or corrupted; (ii) any injuries, damages or losses to any person (including death) or property of any kind resulting in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from receipt, acceptance, possession, misuse or use of a prize or participation in any promotion-related activity or participation in this Sweepstakes; and (iii) any printing or typographical errors in any materials associated with the Sweepstakes. The Sponsor’s decisions in all respects relative to the Sweepstakes are final. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify or suspend the Sweepstakes in whole or in part, in the event of fraud, technical or other difficulties or if the integrity of the Sweepstakes is compromised, without liability to the Entrant. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any winner, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Void where prohibited or restricted by law. All federal, state, provincial, and local regulations apply.

All federal, state and local taxes are the sole responsibility of the winner.

No Liability. By participating, Entrants and the Prize winner agree to release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor Release Parties from and against any claims made by any Entrant, prize winner, or any other third parties, related in any way to the operation of this Sweepstakes as well as any other claims, damages or liability due to any injuries, damages or losses to any person (including death) or property of any kind resulting in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from receipt, acceptance, possession, misuse or use of a prize or participation in any promotion-related activity or participation in this Sweepstakes. Released Parties are not responsible if Sweepstakes cannot take place or if the prize cannot be awarded due to travel cancellations, postponements, delays or interruptions due to acts of God, acts of war, natural disasters, weather, or acts of terrorism.

Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

Winner acknowledges that the Sponsor Released Parties have not made nor are in any manner responsible or liable for any warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, in fact, or in law, relative to any Prize, including but not limited to its quality, mechanical condition or fitness for a particular purpose. Any and all warranties or guarantees on a Prize (if any) are subject to the respective suppliers’ terms, and the winner agrees to look solely to such supplier for any such warranty and/or guarantee.

CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE THE WEBSITE OR TAMPER WITH OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK REMEDIES AND DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH ENTRANT(S) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW INCLUDING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

Disputes and Jurisdiction: Disputes arising from this Sweepstakes, or any matter arising therefrom, whether direct or indirect, will be determined according to the Victoria state law, without reference to its conflict of laws principles. Entrant agrees that: (i) any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action; (ii) any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes, shall be resolved exclusively by the appropriate Victoria State Court; and (iii) under no circumstances will Entrants be entitled to, and Entrants hereby waive all rights to claim, any punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased; SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of these Official Rules and Regulations, or the rights and obligations of the Entrants or the Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Victoria state, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of Victoria or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Victoria.
