Forfeiture of prize and the selection of an alternate (provided sufficient eligible entries are received) winner may result from any of the following: (1) a potential winner does not respond to a notification email or phone call (with all requested information) within the required time; (2) an email notification is returned as undeliverable after three (3) attempts; (3) the failure of a potential winner to complete, sign, notarize and return a required Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability Release, and where permitted by law, a Publicity Release (and any other documents, if requested) within the required time; (4) any prize notification/documentation/prize returned as undeliverable for any reason; (5) a potential winner is ineligible or cannot be notified or contacted; (6) a potential winner's inability to provide Sponsor with satisfactory proof that he/she is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the winning entry (if requested); (7) failure to respond to any other required time periods; (8) a potential winner's unavailability to travel on the dates and times specified by Sponsor; (9) any other non-compliance with the Official Rules. Proof of response by a potential winner does not constitute proof of receipt by Sponsor. In all instances in which Sponsor notifies, or seeks to deliver a prize or otherwise attempts to contact an alternate winner, if such alternate winner is unavailable or disqualified or if the prize is returned as undeliverable within the time frames otherwise allotted for the initially selected winner, then Sponsor may use its judgment to determine disposition of the prize (randomly select another Entrant, donate the prize or forfeit and not award the prize) in Sponsor's sole discretion.
