ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of winning a Prize depend on the number of eligible entries received before the Contest Closing Date.
AWARDING OF PRIZES: The Contest will consist of one (1) random draw in 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 April 1, 2025, at noon ET (the “Draw Date") in Montreal. The selected entrant will be notified by the Contest Sponsor by e-mail or telephone (according to the contact information provided on the entry form) within three (3) business days following the draw (the “Notification”). If the entrant has not responded to the Notice within three (3) days of receipt of such Notice, another entrant may, at the sole discretion of the Contest Sponsor, be selected by random draw, in which case that entrant will become the selected entrant and the previously selected entrant will be disqualified and will not be entitled to any Prize.
Before being declared a winner, the selected entrant must correctly answer, unaided, a timed mathematical skill-testing question administered by the Contest Sponsor via email. Before a Prize is awarded, the selected entrant (and accompanying person(s)) may be required to sign a Declaration of Compliance with the Official Rules and a Release Form releasing the Prize Provider, the Contest Sponsor and their respective affiliates, parent companies, subsidiaries, professional advisors, Provincial Alcohol Authorities and advertising and promotional agencies, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and against any and all liability arising out of, under or as a result of the operation of the Contest, including, without limitation, 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 fails to respond to the Notice within the time period specified therein, is found to be ineligible for any reason, refuses to accept the Prize, refuses to provide a signed Release Form, incorrectly answers the mathematical skill-testing question or does not have sufficient time to correctly answer the mathematical skill-testing question, the potential Prize winner will be disqualified and the Prize forfeited. The Contest Sponsor may then, in its sole and absolute discretion, select another eligible participant who may be disqualified in the same manner.
The Contest Sponsor will not contact the participants, with the exception of the selected participant. The Contest Sponsor is not responsible if, for any reason, a selected entrant does not receive notification or if the Contest Sponsor does not receive a selected entrant's response.
EACH SELECTED ENTRANT IS DEEMED TO BE A POTENTIAL PRIZE WINNER PENDING VERIFICATION OF ELIGIBILITY, PROVISION OF A CORRECT ANSWER TO A MATHEMATICAL SKILL-TESTING QUESTION AND EXECUTION 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 ENTRANT'S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED. THE CONTEST SPONSOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREENSHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS.
RELEASE: By entering the Contest and/or by accepting a Prize, each entrant (i) agrees to be bound by these Official Rules and all conditions of entry; (ii) agrees that the decisions of the Contest Sponsor are final and binding; (iii) releases and forever discharges the Released Parties from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, claims, liabilities, losses or expenses and any and all rights, accounts, damages, prejudice or costs, including, without limitation, liability for any injury or loss or damage of any kind to entrant or any other person, including personal injury, death or property damage, arising out of or in any way connected, directly or indirectly, with the Contest, including, but not limited to, participation in the Contest, any violation of these Official Rules, the awarding, receipt, possession, use or misuse of any Contest Prize (or any part thereof), and any travel or activity related to the receipt or use of a Contest Prize, or the violation or infringement of any intellectual property right or any right of publicity, personality or privacy, and agrees to fully indemnify the Released Parties from any and all third-party claims related to the foregoing.

ERRORS: The Contest Sponsor is not responsible for typographical or other errors 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 stated number of Prizes set out in these Official Rules (at any level). If, due to printing, production, online, internet, computer or other error of any kind, a Prize notification incorrectly states the applicable Prize that an entrant is eligible to win, or incorrectly states that an entrant is a potential winner, that entrant will only be eligible to receive the applicable Prize that an entrant is eligible to win based on the official data and records of the Contest Sponsor (as determined by the Contest Sponsor at its sole and absolute discretion).
RIGHT TO TERMINATE, MODIFY OR SUSPEND THE CONTEST: The Contest Sponsor may at any time, 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, errors in communications 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 contemplated by these Contest Rules. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of early termination of the Contest, a notice to that effect will be published on the Contest Website. In addition, for the purposes of determining eligibility to win a Prize in the event of 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 Contest Rules, the Contest Period will be deemed to have ended at the time of early termination. No waiver by the Contest Sponsor of any term hereof shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of any other condition.
