How Prize is Awarded

Prize: 

15. A random draw to award the Prize (the “Prize Draw”), subject to these Rules (including the verification and skill-testing question requirements), will be held on or around June 2, 2025 at approximately 2:00 PM ET in Toronto, Canada from all eligible Contest Entries received during the Contest Period. One (1) potential winner will be randomly selected in the Prize Draw for the Prize to be won. The Prize Draw will be conducted by the Sponsor.

16. The potential winner of the Prize will be notified initially by email or by phone beginning within one (1) day of the date on which his/her Entry was selected as a potential winner. If the Sponsor is unsuccessful in its attempts to reach and communicate directly with a potential winner by email after two (2) attempts over a two (2)-day period to the email address listed in that potential winner’s Entry form, then, at the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion, that potential winner may be disqualified without liability to the Sponsor. In the event of such a disqualification, an alternate potential winner will be selected from among the remaining eligible Entries through a random draw, subject to these Rules. Through the winner notification process, the potential winner must confirm his/her eligibility and indicate his/her willingness to accept the applicable Prize. The potential winner will then receive official notification via email or certified or overnight mail delivery. No communications will be entered into other than with the potential winner.

17. The Sponsor and/or its representatives may respond to entrants or otherwise engage with Contest participants during the Contest Period, but such interactions will have no impact on the process through which the Prize is awarded in accordance with these Rules.

Declaration and Release and Skill-Testing Question: 

Before being confirmed as a winner of the Prize, the potential Prize winner must complete and return, within forty-eight (48) hours of date of receipt, a Declaration and Release Form (the “Declaration and Release”), which (among other things):

(a) confirms compliance with these Rules;
(b) acknowledges acceptance of the Prize as awarded;
(c) releases the Contest Entities and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all liability in connection with this Contest, the potential winner’s participation therein and the awarding and use/misuse of the Prize or any portion thereof; and
(d) confirms the potential winner’s consent to the publication, reproduction and/or other use of his/her name, address, voice, statements about the Contest and/or photograph and/or other likeness without further notice or compensation, in any publicity or advertisement carried out by or on behalf of the Sponsor in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, print, broadcast and the Internet.

19. Further, prior to being confirmed as a winner of the Prize, the potential winner must also correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question, which may be contained in the Declaration and Release at the discretion of the Sponsor, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical, electronic or otherwise.

20. If a potential winner fails to return the properly-executed Declaration and Release within the specified time period, the Sponsor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, disqualify the potential winner, thereby forfeiting any and all rights the potential winner may have to the Prize. In the event of such a disqualification, an alternate potential winner may be selected from among the remaining eligible Entries, through a random draw, subject to these Rules.

21. If a selected potential winner does not meet the eligibility requirements, does not correctly answer the mathematical skill-testing question, does not complete and return the Declaration and Release, is unable or unwilling to accept the Prize as offered or elects to decline the Prize, he/she may be disqualified at the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor and an alternate potential winner may be selected from among the remaining eligible Entries, through a random draw, subject to these Rules. Any disqualified winner will not receive any alternate prize, substitution or compensation.

22. Upon satisfaction of all requirements of these Rules, including, without limitation, receipt of the completed Declaration and Release, winners will be contacted to make further Prize delivery arrangements.
