BY SUBMITTING AN ENTRY OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATING IN THE SWEEPSTAKES (OR ANY PART THEREOF), YOU FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES AND THE DECISIONS OF THE SPONSOR, WHICH ARE FINAL AND BINDING.

1. DESCRIPTION OF PRIZE: Apple Watch Series 6.  Total approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the Prize is $399.99 USD.

The ARV listed above is subject to price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things, any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these Official Rules, and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed.  If the actual purchase price of a prize is less than the ARV stated herein, the prize winner will NOT be entitled to a check, cash or other form of payment for the price difference. Any depiction of the Prize, in Sweepstakes materials or otherwise, is for illustrative purposes only.  No substitutions, partial acceptance, transfer of prizes or cash redemptions permitted.  All prize details are at Sponsor's sole discretion.  Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or comparable value in the event a described prize or any portion thereof is unavailable for any reason whatsoever.

1. SELECTION OF A PRIZE WINNER 

RANDOM DRAWING.  Sponsor, whose decisions on all matters pertaining to the Sweepstakes are final, shall select one (1) potential winner for the Prize in a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Entry Period, which shall take place on or about September 17, 2021 at approximately 12:00 PM Pacific Time.

The selected potential winner from the random drawing will be notified by either direct message to their social media account or at the potential winner’s email address provided to Sponsor in the applicable winner’s entry submission; provided, however, that Sponsor reserves the right to determine an alternate method of notification.

Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entrants.  The awarding of the Prize is contingent upon full compliance with these Official Rules and subject to Sponsor’s verification of the potential winner, the entry, and any other documentation required and/or requested by Sponsor in connection with the Prize and/or Sweepstakes.

Sponsor expressly reserves the right to delay the announcement of the winner for any reason Sponsor deems necessary.  The decisions of Sponsor are final and binding in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes, including, without limitation, the selection of the winner and/or any potential winners of the Prize, and the payment of any Prize.

1. CLAIMING THE PRIZE

In order to claim the Prize, the selected winner: (i) must meet all eligibility requirements, (ii) shall be required to produce proof of identity, address and birth date, and (iii) must each execute and return (as applicable) certain Prize winner documents, including but not limited to, an affidavit of eligibility, tax acknowledgment form, liability release and, except where prohibited by law, use of name and likeness releases (collectively, “Winner Documents”). Winner Documents must be completed in full and returned to Sponsor via PDF/scanned e-mail (or other method specified by Sponsor) within seven (7) days, or other time period specified by Sponsor, of issuance of the Winner Documents.

The selected potential winner shall not be deemed a winner until the selected potential winner’s prize claim is validated and the applicable potential winner receives official written notification from the Sponsor (upon such notification, such potential winner will be deemed a “Winner”).

The Prize shall be forfeited, if the applicable potential winner: (1) refuses or fails or is otherwise unable to (i) accept the Prize or any portion of the Prize for any reason, (ii) provide proof of identity and/or any other information required or requested hereunder, (iii) provide the affidavit, liability and publicity release, (iv) complete tax forms (including IRS W-9 form) or other documentation required hereunder, and/or (2) does not meet the eligibility requirements and/or is found to have violated the Official Rules. The Prize and/or any Prize documents returned as undeliverable will result in forfeiture of the Prize.

ANY VIOLATION OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES BY ANY SELECTED POTENTIAL WINNER WILL RESULT IN THE DISQUALIFICATION OF SUCH AS INDIVIDUAL AS A WINNER OF THE PRIZE AND ALL PRIVILEGES AS A WINNER OF THE PRIZE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED.

Upon any forfeiture of the Prize the Sponsor will have no further obligation to the applicable selected potential winner.  Sponsor will use reasonable efforts to pick an alternate potential winner from the remaining eligible entries for the applicable Prize, but, in the event, an alternate potential winner cannot be determined, the Prize will not be awarded.  In the case of an unclaimed Prize, no subsequent winner will be selected except for possibly in Sponsor’s sole discretion.

The Prize will be shipped to the Winner within fourteen (14) days from Sponsor’s receipt of the completed and signed Winner Documents.

The Apple Watch Series 6 is subject to the terms of Apple, Inc. (hereinafter, “Apple”).  Sponsor will not replace any lost or stolen Prize items.

Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099 or equivalent form in the name of the Winner for the actual value of the Prize. All federal, state and local taxes, and any other costs and expenses associated with the participation in the Sweepstakes and/or acceptance or use of Prize not specifically provided for in these Official Rules are solely the Winner’s responsibility, but Sponsor has the right to withhold any amounts required by law.

1. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Official Rules shall be governed by California law, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions.

By participating in this Sweepstakes, entrant agrees that any and all disputes entrant may have with, or claims entrant may have against the Sweepstakes Entities relating to, arising out of or connected in any way with (a) the Sweepstakes, (b) the awarding or redemption of any Prize, and/or (c) the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (a “Claim”), will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California, and shall be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may be required by applicable law. If entrant demonstrates that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Sponsor will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate. This arbitration agreement does not preclude entrant from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. Entrant and Sponsor also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, entrant and Sponsor retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Official Rules, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Official Rules. Neither entrant nor Sponsor may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only Entrant and/or Sponsor’s individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sponsor may seek equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT ENTRANT OR SPONSOR WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.  If any provision of these rules is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these rules otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.  Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that or of any other provision.
