6. Grand Prize Drawing:
Sponsor is an independent 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. Sponsor will
randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winners from all eligible entries
received during the Promotion Period, on or around July 27, 2023. The potential
winner will be notified by u/kingsford on Reddit or
by @kingsford on Instagram through private or direct message on 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 is sent
into order to claim the prize. Next, the potential winner (or parent/legal
guardian if winner is a minor in their state of residence) will be required to
sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability Waiver and where not
prohibited a Publicity Release ("Declaration") and an IRS Form W-9,
which must be received by the Administrator within three (3) days of the date
notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize. If a potential
winner cannot be contacted or fails to provide any requested information within
the required time period, or potential winner fails to sign and return the Declaration within the required time period, or the prize
is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize.
Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In
the event that a potential winner forfeits the prize or is disqualified for any
reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by
random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.

reserves the right to substitute a prize for one of equal or greater value if

are responsible for all taxes and fees associated with prize receipt and/or

law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not
constitute a waiver of that provision.
