6. Prize
Drawings: 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 one (1) potential
Sweepstakes winner from all eligible entries received for each Sweepstakes Post
during the Promotion Period, on or around December 7, 2020. Each potential
winner will be notified by @eBayforBusiness as a reply to potential winner’s
comment and will be directed to send a private message to @eBayforBusiness
within 24 hours to receive next steps.
Sponsor will ask each winner to
provide his/her name, email address, mailing address, Seller ID, and date of birth in response to the private
message to confirm eligibility and for prize fulfillment purposes within 3 days

Sponsor or provide the requested information, 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. Only three (3) alternate
drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.

the right to substitute a prize for one of equal or greater value if the
designated prize should become unavailable for any reason. Winners are responsible for all taxes
and fees associated with prize receipt and/or use. Odds of winning a prize

10. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel,
suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes, if any fraud, technical failures, human
error, or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the
Sweepstakes, or any event or cause beyond Sponsor’s control (e.g. events such
as natural calamities, national emergencies, wide spread illnesses, declarations
of war, acts of God, acts of terrorism) interferes with any aspect of the
Sweepstakes, including but not limited to fulfillment of the prize(s), as
determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event, Sponsor, in its
sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible
entries received up to the date of discontinuance and may modify the prizes
offered herein. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or
the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of the Official
Rules of this or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive
manner. Any attempt by any person to
deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a
violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made,
Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest
extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s
failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a
waiver of that provision.
11. Limitations
of Liability: The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any
incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, printing
errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in
the Sweepstakes; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited
to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network

in part, from entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use or misuse of any prize. If for any reason an entrant's entry is
confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, not received, or otherwise
destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the
Sweepstakes, if it is possible. No more than the stated number of prizes will
be awarded. In the event that
production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more
than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be
available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated
number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible
prize claims.
12. Disputes: Except where prohibited, entrant agrees

event attorneys’ fees; and (3) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted
to obtain awards for, and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim, indirect,
punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other
than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages
multiplied or otherwise increased. All
issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the
entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan without
giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the
