PRIZE AWARDING
The Contest will include one (1) random draw in which the Contest Sponsor or its designated representative will randomly select 40 entries from all eligible entries received during the Contest Period. The draw will take place on September 17, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. (“Draw Date”) in Montreal. The selected participant will be notified by the Contest Sponsor by email or phone (using the contact information provided on the entry form) within three (3) business days following the draw (“Notice”). If the selected participant does not respond to the Notice 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 that person will become the selected participant and the previously selected participant will be disqualified and have no right to any Prize.
Before being declared a winner, the selected participant must correctly answer, unaided, a time-limited 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 supplier, the Contest Sponsor, the Contest Administrator, their affiliates, parent companies, subsidiaries, professional advisors, the Provincial Alcohol Authorities, and their respective advertising and promotion agencies, and each of their 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 Notice within the stipulated time, is deemed ineligible for any reason, refuses to accept the Prize, refuses to provide a signed release form, answers the required skill-testing question incorrectly, or fails to answer the skill-testing question within the allotted time, 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 communicate with participants except with selected participants. The Contest Sponsor is not responsible if, for any reason, a selected participant does not receive the Notice or if the Contest Sponsor does not receive a response from a selected participant.
EACH SELECTED PERSON IS CONSIDERED A POTENTIAL PRIZE WINNER PENDING VERIFICATION OF ELIGIBILITY, CORRECT ANSWER TO A SKILL-TESTING QUESTION, AND 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.

RIGHT TO TERMINATE, MODIFY, OR SUSPEND : The Contest Sponsor may at any time, at its sole discretion and without liability, terminate, modify, or suspend the Contest in whole or in part, subject only to required legal approvals, if fraud, technical failures, communication errors, or other causes beyond the Contest Sponsor’s control corrupt the administration, integrity, or security of the Contest or if any other factor impairs the conduct of the Contest as intended by these Rules. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of early termination of the Contest, a notice will be posted to that effect on the Contest Website. Furthermore, to determine eligibility to win a Prize in the event of early termination, all eligible entries received before 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 any provision herein will be deemed a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other provision.
