There is a limit of one (1) entry per person and per e-mail address throughout the entire Promotion Period, regardless of entry method used. Additional entries received from the same person or e-mail address at any time after the first entry received from that same person or e-mail address will be void. Entries must be received by 11:59:59PM ET on 8/24/08 to be eligible. All entries will become property of the Sponsor and will not be returned. If an entrant uses the same, different, or multiple e-mail addresses to obtain more than one (1) entry, all such entries will be void. For the purpose of this Promotion, a day begins at 12:00:00 A.M. ET and ends at 11:59:59 P.M. ET. As part of the entry process, you may be asked to opt in to receive information from the Sponsor. Opting in is not required for entry and will not affect your chances of winning a prize. Unless you opt in, the registration information collected will be used only for the proper administration of this Promotion (for winner notifications and prize fulfillment purposes). In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant based on an e-mail address submitted on the entry form, entry will be deemed to be from the authorized account subscriber of the e-mail address at issue, as determined by Sponsor in its discretion, regardless of the name that appears on the entry form, and he or she must comply with these rules. "Authorized account subscriber" is the natural person who is assigned the e-mail address by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses. Entries become property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned. The use of any devices to automate entry into this Promotion, including, but not limited to, entries submitted using any bot, macro, script, sweepstakes service, or form-filling software (or any other devices intended to automate any part of the entry process), is prohibited. If Sponsor, in its sole discretion, determines that any entrant has used any device to automate the entry process or otherwise engages in activity that impairs the integrity of the Promotion process, all entries from that entrant will be void, and future entry attempts by the entrant at issue may be blocked, in Sponsor's sole discretion. Released Parties will not be held responsible for lost, late, stolen, incomplete, garbled, delayed, undelivered, inaccurate, false, or misdirected entries, interrupted or unavailable network server, cable, satellite or Internet Service Provider (ISP), wireless service provider or other connections, miscommunications, or for telephonic, human, or computer software or hardware failures; problems or errors; interruptions in service due to system upgrades, modifications, repairs, or other causes; failures or malfunctions of connections, phones, phone lines, or telephone systems; traffic congestion on the Internet or at any Web site; technical, electrical, or mechanical malfunctions; or other malfunctions or errors, whether caused by equipment, programming, human error, or otherwise; nondelivery; misdirected, blocked, or delayed e-mail notifications; or for typographical, printing, or other errors appearing in these Official Rules or other Promotion-related materials, or for any injury or damage to entrant's or any other person's computer relating to or resulting from participation in this Promotion or downloading any materials from the Web site in this Promotion or for any other errors of any kind, whether network, computer, human, or otherwise, relating to or in connection with the Promotion, including, without limitation, errors that may occur in connection with the administration of the Promotion, the processing of entries, the unavailability of a kiosk at any event or the announcement of prizes. Incomplete, unintelligible, delayed, misdirected, garbled, or mutilated entries or entries containing false information of any kind will be void. CAUTION: Any attempt to deliberately damage any web site associated with the Promotion or undermine the legitimate operation of this Promotion in any way is a violation of criminal and civil laws, and, should such an attempt be made, the Released Parties reserve the right to seek damages (including attorneys' fees) and/or other remedies from any such person or persons responsible for the attempt to the fullest extent permitted by law.
