provider’s pricing plan for details. You agree to incur any and all charges demanded by your wireless carrier. The Device that is used must be capable of sending and receiving text messages. Entrants should check their Device’s features to see if they have that capability and check the Device manual for specific use instructions.

Administrator will not be responsible for incomplete, late, lost, misdirected, illegible, postage-due or late entries. 

Limit: 1 Sweepstakes entry per person per day, regardless of method of entry. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address or Device. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than 1 entry per day by using multiple/different email addresses, Devices, identities, registrations or logins, or any other methods will void that participant’s entries and that participant may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar entry methods or agents (including, but not limited to, sweepstakes entry services) will void all entries by that entrant. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the Device or email address used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Otherwise, the “authorized account holder” of a Device is the natural person in whose name the Device has been issued and the services are billed. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holders. 

Prizes are non-transferable and non-refundable, and by Entrants will be permitted. Administrator reserves the right to, at its sole discretion, substitute prize of equal or greater value in the event of the prize unavailability or in the event a winner wishes to receive an alternative prize. Prizes are subject to change based on availability and/or pictures may not be indicative of actual prize. Limit one (1) prize per family/household/organization over all weeks; winners may not win multiple prizes.

 

6. WINNER SELECTION: Potential winners will be selected from all eligible entries by random drawing conducted weekly.

One winner will be selected from among all eligible entries in random drawings on each date listed in Section 5.  The drawings will be conducted by the Administrator, whose decisions are final on all matters relating to the drawings. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. Administrator’s decisions are final and binding on all matters related to this Sweepstakes.

7. WINNER NOTIFICATION AND REQUIREMENTS: Potential winners will be notified using the contact information used to enter the Sweepstakes or if a potential winner entered via text messaging, he/she will be notified by phone and/or text message at the phone number of the Device used to enter the Sweepstakes. Potential winners must accept the prize within 72 hours of being contacted or forfeit the prize. In the event a potential winner cannot be contacted, declines a prize, or cannot accept a prize within 72 hours of being contacted, or otherwise is unwilling or unable to accept a prize, the prize will be forfeited in its entirety and an alternate potential winner may be selected by random drawing from the remaining eligible entries, time permitting. Winners are responsible for all federal, state and local taxes, if applicable. Potential winners may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release, within 3 days, or prize may be forfeited.

8. Publicity: Except where prohibited, participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes entrant’s consent for Sponsor and its designees to use entrant’s name, likeness, prize information, city and state of residence for promotional purposes in any media without further consideration.

9. General Conditions: In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Sweepstakes is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but, not limited to, fraud, outbreak of widespread illness, pandemic, or other similar occurrence, virus or other technical problem, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either: (a) suspend the Sweepstakes to address the impairment and then resume the Sweepstakes in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules; or (b) cancel the Sweepstakes and, in its discretion, award the prizes in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment. The 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 undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

10. Release and Limitations of Liability: Except where prohibited, by participating in the Sweepstakes, entrants agree to release and hold harmless Great Lakes Coca-Cola Distribution, L.L.C., The Coca‑Cola Company, other Coca Cola bottlers, Albertsons Companies, Inc. d/b/a Jewel-Osco, G3 Marketing, and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, promotional partners, prize partners, agents and agencies, and the officers, directors and employees of them (the “Released Parties”) from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use of any prize, including, but not limited to: (a) unauthorized human intervention in the Sweepstakes; (b) technical errors related to computers, servers, providers, printers or telephone, cellular networks, or network lines; (c) printing errors; (d) errors in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing of entries; (e) late, lost, or undeliverable mail; or (f) injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt of any prize. Entrant further agrees that in any cause of action, the Released Parties’ liability will be limited to the cost of entering and participating in the Sweepstakes and in no event shall the Released Parties be liable for attorney’s fees.  Entrant waives the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential, direct, or indirect damages. Moreover, any claims may not be resolved through any form of class action. If, for any reason, an entrant’s entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another Sweepstakes entry, if it is possible.  If the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, is discontinued for any reason, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any prize offered herein.  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 herein 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.

11. Dispute Resolution: You agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise relating in any way to or arising out of the Sweepstakes or your participation in the Sweepstakes, the Official Rules, or the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy, including any cause of action under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Dispute Resolution section. Please read this section carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.

You agree that whenever you have a disagreement with Administrator, Sponsor or any other Released Party arising out of, connected to, or in any way related to the Sweepstakes, the Official Rules, or the Sponsor’s  Privacy Policy, you will send a written notice to the Administrator (“Demand”). You agree that the requirements of this Dispute Resolution section will apply even to disagreements that may have arisen before you accepted these Official Rules or the Sponsor’s  Privacy Policy. You must send the Demand to the following address (the “Notice Address”): Legal Department, G3 Marketing, 4600 McAuley, Pl., 4^th Floor, Cincinnati, OH 45242. You agree that you will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding arbitration, until 10 business days after you send a Demand. If the disagreement stated in the Demand is not resolved to your satisfaction within 10 business days after it is received, and you intend on taking legal action, you agree that you will file a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitrator”). This arbitration provision limits the ability of you and the Released Parties to litigate claims in court and you and the Released Parties each agree to waive your respective rights to a jury trial or a state or federal judge. You agree that you will not file any lawsuit against Administrator, Sponsor or any other Released Party in any state or federal court. You agree that if you do sue in state or federal court, and Administrator, Sponsor or any other Released Party brings a successful motion to compel arbitration, you must pay all fees and costs incurred by Administrator, Sponsor and any other Released Party in court, including reasonable attorney’s fees. For any such filing of a demand for arbitration, you must effect proper service under the rules of the Arbitrator and notice to the Notice Address may not be sufficient. If, for any reason, the American Arbitration Association is unable to conduct the arbitration, you may file your case with any national arbitration company. The Arbitrator shall apply the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules effective September 1, 2014 (and as may be amended) and as modified by the agreement to arbitrate in this Dispute Resolution section. You agree that the Arbitrator will have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute you have with Administrator, Sponsor or any other Released Party. The Federal Arbitration Act allows for the enforcement of arbitration agreements and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate.  The place of arbitration shall be Hamilton County, OH.

You agree that you will not file a class action or collective action against any Released Party, and that you will not participate in a class action or collective action against them. You agree that you will not join your claims to those of any other person. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Official Rules, or the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy, if this class action waiver is invalidated, then the agreement to arbitrate is null and void, as though it were never entered into, and any arbitration dispute at that time will be dismissed without prejudice and may be refiled in a court. Under no circumstances do you or any Released Party agree to class or collective procedures in arbitration or the joinder of claims in arbitration. The Released Parties agree that we will submit all disputes with you to arbitration before the Arbitrator.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the entrant, Administrator, Sponsor and any other Released Party in connection with the Sweepstakes, or any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you, Administrator Sponsor and any other Released Party, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules.

This arbitration provision shall survive conclusion, modification or termination of the Sweepstakes and suspension, revocation, closure, modification, or amendments to the Official Rules, and any aspect of the relationship of the parties relating to or arising from participation in the Sweepstakes.
