show proof of being the authorized account holder. Released Parties (as defined

in part, on a worldwide basis, and to incorporate it into other works, in any
form, media or technology now known or later developed, including for promotional
or marketing purposes, except where prohibited by law. If requested, entrant
will sign any documentation that may be required for Sponsor or its designees
to make use of the non-exclusive rights entrant is granting to use the Tweet or
Post.
6. Prize Drawing: Administrator is an
independent judging organization whose decisions as to
the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the
potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator
will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winners from all eligible
entries received during the Promotion Period, on or around February 16, 2022. Each
potential winner will be notified by @HVRanch through
the social channel used to enter and will be directed to a secure online claim form and asked to provide their name, email
address, mailing address and date of birth to confirm eligibility and for prize
fulfillment purposes within three (3) days of the date notice or attempted notice
