4. GRAND PRIZE DRAWING: Administrator is an
independent judging organization whose decisions as to the administration and
operation of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to the selection and
confirmation of the potential winner, are final and binding. Administrator will select the potential
Sweepstakes winner in a random drawing from among all
eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period through both social
channels combined on or around May 17, 2020. Receiving the prize is contingent
upon compliance with these Official Rules. The potential winner will be notified
through the social channel used to enter by @ChipsAhoy and will be required to call
Administrator to provide contact information (time frame will be specified in
the message) to claim the prize. Next,
winner (or his/her parent or legal guardian if winner is a Minor) will be
required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability Waiver and,
where not prohibited, a Publicity Release ("Declaration") which must
be received by Administrator within twenty-four (24) hours of the date notice
or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize. If the potential
winner cannot be contacted, or fails to call Administrator within the time
period specified at the time the potential winner is first contacted, or fails
to sign and return the Declaration within the required time period, or is
deemed ineligible to receive the prize for any reason, the potential winner will
be disqualified and will forfeit the prize.
In the event that the potential winner is disqualified and forfeits the
prize or for any reason, Sponsor will award the prize to an alternate winner by
random drawing from among all remaining eligible Entries. If necessary, only three (3) alternate
drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded if it is
unclaimed.
5. PRIZE AND APPROXIMATE
