(See the “Prizewinner Notification” section below for details.) All terms and conditions of the Sponsor Affidavit (defined below) or other prize-acceptance documentation, as well as any other rules, regulations and guidelines of Sponsor shall be applicable to the Prize.

PRIZEWINNER NOTIFICATION:

Each potential Prizewinner will be notified using the Personal Information provided during entry by any of email, telephone/mobile phone, mail, text message, a post on the potentially winning entry, or through a direct message on a social media platform (if applicable) (method to be selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion) in a commercially reasonable time after the drawing. The potential Prizewinner must respond within twenty-four (24) hours of notification, and in accordance with the instructions in the notification, or the Prize may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, be forfeited. The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for false, incorrect, changed, incomplete or illegible contact information. Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately upon sending of an email, text, direct message on a social media platform, and/or placing of a phone call, one (1) day after sending via a delivery service, or two (2) days after mailing. A potential Prizewinner who provides a P.O. Box may be required to provide an alternative physical address and this may cause a delay in notification and acceptance, so use of a P.O. Box is discouraged. The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, insufficient space in Entrant’s email or voicemail inbox to receive messages, or any limitations associated with receipt or delivery of text messages or direct messages.

Each potential Prizewinner may be required to submit an affidavit of eligibility / release of liability / prize acceptance agreement (collectively, the “Affidavit”) and return the Affidavit within the time period specified at notification before being eligible to receive their Prize. In addition, for any Prize with a value of Six Hundred Dollars ($600) or more, or in the event the potential Prizewinner has been awarded prizes in other promotions operated by Sponsor for which this Prize will cause the total value of all prizes received in a calendar year from the Sponsor to be Six Hundred Dollars ($600) or more, the potential Prizewinner shall be required to return a completed IRS Form W-9 to the Sponsor prior to Sponsor’s delivery of the prize (the “W9”). All Prize claims, including any required Affidavit, are subject to verification by Sponsor. If any potential Prizewinner fails or refuses to sign and return such Affidavit and W9 (if a W9 is required) within the time period required by Sponsor or if the Prize or Prize notification is returned as rejected, faulty, unclaimed or returned as undeliverable to such potential Prizewinner, such potential Prizewinner may be disqualified and an alternate Prizewinner may be selected. Non-compliance shall result in disqualification. If any potential Prizewinner is found to be ineligible, or if they have not complied with these Official Rules and all other additional or supplemental rules or instructions, or if the potential Prizewinner cannot attend or participate in any portion of the Prize, or declines a Prize for any reason prior to award, such potential Prizewinner may be disqualified and an alternate potential Prizewinner may be selected. If, for any reason, more bona fide Prizewinners come forward seeking to claim Prizes in excess of the number of each type of Prize set forth in these Official Rules, the Prizewinners, or remaining Prizewinners, as the case may be, of the advertised number of Prizes available may be selected in a random drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such Prize(s). Inclusion in such drawing shall be each Entrant’s sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential Prizewinner.

ADDITIONAL PRIZE INFORMATION:

Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a background check on the potential Prizewinner and each potential Prizewinner agrees to execute any additional documentation necessary for and to cooperate fully in any such background check conducted by or on behalf of Sponsor.

Sponsor will not replace any lost or stolen cash, cash equivalent, gift cards, or other forms of Prize distributed. In the event of such a loss, Sponsor shall have the right, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, to disqualify the Prizewinner or to award to that Prizewinner the remaining elements of the Prize which shall constitute full satisfaction of Sponsor’s prize obligation to the Prizewinner and no additional compensation will be awarded.

Terms and conditions of any gift card awarded apply. Any taxes (federal, state, and local) and all other costs and expenses associated with Prize acceptance or use and not specified in these Official Rules as being part of a Prize will be the sole responsibility of the Prizewinner. Any Prize details not specified in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute any Prize or any portion thereof with another Prize or Prize component of equal or greater value for any reason, including unavailability of the stated Prize. Entrants waive the right to assert, as a cost of winning any Prize, any and all costs of verification and any liability and publicity which might arise from claiming or seeking to claim said Prize.

If Prizewinner does not accept the entire Prize, the unaccepted Prize (or part of the Prize) will be forfeited and Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that Prize or any portion of that Prize. Sponsor will have no liability for a potential Prizewinner’s failure or inability to accept a Prize for any reason. Any failure to use a Prize after acceptance does not relieve the Prizewinner of their tax obligations associated with winning the Prize. No transfers, prize substitutions or cash redemptions will be made, except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Prizewinner is strictly prohibited from selling, auctioning, trading or otherwise transferring the opportunity to receive the Prize, except with Sponsor’s permission, which may be granted or withheld for any reason in its sole discretion. Prizes will only be shipped or otherwise provided to the verified Prizewinner’s address in the fifty (50) United States or D.C. (unless Sponsor agrees otherwise in its sole discretion).

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF ENTRY:

All Entrants, as a condition of entry, agree that they have not been required to purchase any kind of Internet, wireless, or data service whatsoever in order to participate in and/or enter the Sweepstakes. The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for the actions of Entrants in connection with the Sweepstakes, including Entrants’ attempts to circumvent the Official Rules or otherwise interfere with the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes. Persons found tampering with or abusing any aspect of this Sweepstakes, or whom Sponsor believes to be causing malfunction, error, disruption or damage may be disqualified. Additionally, any attempt to cheat the Sweepstakes, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Sponsor, may result in immediate disqualification of Entrant, as well as other possible consequences, including disqualification from any and all existing and future sweepstakes. ANY ATTEMPT BY A PERSON TO DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE (INCLUDING ANY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM OR APPLICATION) OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THIS SWEEPSTAKES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK ALL LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to disqualify (or terminate the Prize of) any individual who is found to be, or suspected of, acting in violation of these Official Rules, or to be acting in an unsportsmanlike, obscene, immoral, or disruptive manner, or with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person.

Entrant further understands and agrees that all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California (“Section 1542”) and any similar law of any state or territory of the United States that may be applicable with respect to the foregoing release(s) are hereby expressly and forever waived. Entrant acknowledges that Section 1542 provides that: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN THEIR FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY THEM, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED THEIR SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” The releases hereunder are intended to apply to all claims not known or suspected to exist with the intent of waiving the effect of laws requiring the intent to release future unknown claims.

GOVERNING LAW:

The parties agree that the Sweepstakes and these Official Rules will be governed, construed, and interpreted under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION: 

Entrant, Sponsor, and the other Released Parties (each, a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”) each agree to fully and finally settle all disputes pertaining to the Sweepstakes, administration of the Sweepstakes, and/or these Official Rules only through the Dispute Resolution and Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver provision provided in Sponsor’s Terms of Use located at https://policies.warnerbros.com/terms/en-us/html/terms_en-us_1.3.0.html, as updated or amended (the “Dispute Resolution Terms”); provided, however, Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in Los Angeles County, California and any other court with jurisdiction over the Parties. In the unlikely event that you and Sponsor are unable to resolve a dispute through the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures described in the Dispute Resolution Terms, the Parties agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Unless expressly limited by the Dispute Resolution Terms, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under these Official Rules in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND TIME LIMITATION FOR CLAIMS:

BY ENTERING THE SWEEPSTAKES, ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (B) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; (C) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; AND (D) ENTRANTS’ REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A CLAIM FOR MONEY DAMAGES (IF ANY) AND ENTRANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF, PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT NOTHING IN THESE OFFICIAL RULES WILL RESTRICT A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT’S RIGHT (IF ANY) TO PURSUE PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AS PERMITTED BY LAW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DISPUTE-RESOLUTION PROVISION ABOVE. THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO ALL ACTIONS, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS BEHAVIOR, NEGLIGENCE, OR UNDER ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION, REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS UPON WHICH LIABILITY IS CLAIMED AND EVEN IF SPONSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. IF APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW ALL OR ANY PART OF THE ABOVE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY TO APPLY TO YOU, THE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY TO YOU ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

SUBJECT TO THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SWEEPSTAKES, THESE OFFICIAL RULES OR ANY ADDITIONAL OR SUPPLEMENTAL RULES, ANY AFFIDAVIT, OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES, MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE RELEVANT EVENT(S). A DISPUTE IS COMMENCED IF IT IS FILED IN AN ARBITRATION OR, IF THE DISPUTE IS NON-ARBITRABLE, A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, DURING THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD. IF ANY OF THE PARTIES PROVIDES NOTICE OF A DISPUTE UNDER THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES, THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD IS TOLLED FOR 60 DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF THE NOTICE OF DISPUTE (ALTHOUGH FOR THE SAKE OF CLARITY, IT MAY BE FURTHER EXTENDED IF YOUR DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY IS PART OF A MASS FILING AS CONTEMPLATED IN THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION TERMS). EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION TERMS, THE PARTIES EACH WAIVE—THAT IS, GIVE UP—THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY THAT IS NOT FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AND ANY RIGHT THE PARTIES MAY HAVE HAD TO PURSUE THAT DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY IN ANY FORUM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

MISCELLANEOUS:

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules or the Affidavit will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Official Rules or the Affidavit is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules or any other guidelines, instructions, policies, or term will not constitute a waiver of that provision. Entrant agrees to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision hereof. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use on any website, social media platform or application and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
