If such proof is not provided to the Contest Sponsor's complete satisfaction within the specified timeframe, the participant may be disqualified. The Contest Sponsor's server data will be the sole determinant of time for the purposes of this Contest. All information requested by or provided to the Contest Sponsor in connection with the Contest must be truthful, complete, accurate, and must not be misleading in any way. The Contest Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any participant if it believes that he/she has provided false, incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information at any time.

The Contest Sponsor will not deliver the Prize to a post office box.

The Contest Sponsor makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the appearance, safety, or performance of any Prize.

ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of winning a Prize depend on the number of eligible entries received before the Contest Closing Date.

 

PRIZE AWARDING: The Contest will include one (1) random draw during which the Contest Sponsor or its designated representative will randomly select one (1) entry from all eligible entries received during the Contest Period. The draw will take place on May 27 at 12:00 PM (the "Draw Date") in Montreal. The selected participant will be notified by the Contest Sponsor via email or phone (using the contact details provided on the entry form) within three (3) business days following the draw (the "Notification"). If the participant has not responded to the Notification within three (3) business days of receiving it, another participant may, at the sole discretion of the Contest Sponsor, be selected by random draw, in which case this person will become the selected participant and the previously selected participant will then be disqualified and will not be entitled to any Prize.

Before being declared a winner, the selected participant must correctly answer, without assistance, a timed mathematical skill-testing question administered by the Contest Sponsor. Before a Prize is awarded, the selected person may be required to sign a declaration of compliance with the Official Rules and a release form releasing the Prize provider, the Contest Sponsor, the Contest Administrator, as well as their respective affiliates, parent companies, subsidiaries, professional advisors, provincial liquor authorities, and advertising and promotional agencies, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any liability arising from, under, or as a result of the execution of the Contest, including, but not limited to, liability arising from the acceptance and use of the Prize as awarded, the administration of the Contest, and the selection of a potential winner.

If a potential Prize winner does not respond to the Notification within the timeframe stipulated therein, is found to be ineligible for any reason, refuses to accept the Prize, refuses to provide a signed release form, incorrectly answers the mandatory mathematical skill-testing question, or runs out of time to correctly answer the mandatory mathematical skill-testing question, they will be disqualified and forfeit the Prize. The Contest Sponsor may then, at its sole and absolute discretion, select another eligible participant who may be disqualified in the same manner.

 

The Contest Sponsor will not contact participants, except for selected participants. The Contest Sponsor is not responsible for a selected participant not receiving a Notification for any reason, or for the Contest Sponsor not receiving a response from a selected participant.

 

EACH SELECTED PERSON IS CONSIDERED A POTENTIAL PRIZE WINNER PENDING VERIFICATION OF ELIGIBILITY, THE PROVISION OF A CORRECT ANSWER TO A MATHEMATICAL SKILL-TESTING QUESTION, AND THE SIGNATURE OF A RELEASE AND INDEMNITY (IF APPLICABLE). ALL POTENTIAL PRIZE WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY THE CONTEST SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THE CONTEST. PRIZES WILL NOT BE AWARDED UNTIL THE PARTICIPANT'S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED. THE CONTEST SPONSOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREENSHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS.

ERRORS: The Contest Sponsor is not responsible for any typographical or other error in the offer or administration of the Contest, including, but not limited to, errors in advertising, the Official Rules, the Contest Website, the selection and announcement of a winner, or errors in the distribution of a Prize. In no event will the Contest Sponsor be liable for more than the number of Prizes stated in these Official Rules (at any level). If, due to printing, production, online, Internet, computer, or other error of any kind, a Prize notification erroneously indicates the applicable Prize a participant is able to win, or erroneously states that a participant is a potential winner, that participant will only be able to receive the applicable Prize a participant is able to win as per the Contest Sponsor’s official data and records (as determined by the Contest Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion).

RIGHT TO TERMINATE, MODIFY OR SUSPEND : The Contest Sponsor may, at any time and in its sole discretion and without liability, terminate, modify or suspend the Contest in whole or in part, subject only to any approvals required by law, if fraud, technical failures, communication errors or other causes beyond the control of the Contest Sponsor corrupt the administration, integrity, or security of the Contest or if any other factor interferes with the conduct of the Contest as set forth in these Rules. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of an early termination of the Contest, a notice to that effect will be posted on the Contest Website. In addition, in order to determine eligibility to win a Prize in the event of an early termination of the Contest, all eligible entries received prior to the time of early termination will be considered valid and, for the purposes of these Official Rules, the Contest Period will be deemed to have ended at the time of early termination. No waiver by the Contest Sponsor of the application of any condition herein will be deemed a continued waiver or waiver of any other condition.

DISQUALIFICATIONS: If the Contest Sponsor discovers (through evidence or information provided to it or obtained through its own means) that a person has attempted to: (i) exceed the limits or restrictions specified in these Official Rules; (ii) use multiple names, identities, email addresses, accounts, and/or automated or robotic systems, scripts, macros, or other means or programs to enter or participate in the Contest or disrupt its operation; (iii) enter the Contest more times than allowed; (iv) submit an entry or enter a unique code or PIN (if applicable) that has been falsified, tampered with, or altered in any way; (v) disrupt the Contest or participate in it in a fraudulent or deceptive manner (including, but not limited to, canceling, changing, or modifying a transaction); or (vi) participate in the Contest in any other disruptive, abusive, fraudulent, deceptive, unfair, unsportsmanlike, or inconsistent manner with these Official Rules (as determined by the Contest Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion); they may then be disqualified from the Contest, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Contest Sponsor. If a person is disqualified, they forfeit all rights to a Prize.

WARNING: ANY DELIBERATE ATTEMPT BY A PARTICIPANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DAMAGE OR INTERFERE WITH ANY ENTRY OR TO COMPROMISE THE LEGITIMATE CONDUCT OF THE CONTEST CONSTITUTES A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS; SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, THE CONTEST SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DISQUALIFY THAT PARTICIPANT OR INDIVIDUAL AND SEEK DAMAGES OR PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY AGAINST THAT PARTICIPANT OR INDIVIDUAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
