If a Selected Entrant does not meet any eligibility criteria, including an inability by the Sponsor to contact the Selected Entrant or receive a reply from the Selected Entrant, he/she will be disqualified and will not receive a prize and another entrant (or subsequent entrants if required) will be selected by way of a random draw from the remaining eligible entries.  Any Selected Entrant, before being declared a winner, will be required to sign and return the Sponsor’s Declaration of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release form (the “Winner Release”); and (iii) comply with all other Sweepstakes Rules, all in the sole discretion of Sponsor.
