In the event of a dispute as to the identity of any Entrant, entry will be declared made by the Authorized Account Holder of the email address used at the time of entry. The “Authorized Account Holder” is the natural person assigned to the email address. Any winner may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that such winner is the Authorized Account Holder of the winning entry.

CONSUMER DISCLOSURE:

Prizes: One (1) eligible winner will receive the Maytag 4.2 Cu. Ft. Top Load Washer with Maytag 7.0 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer, Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $1,448.00.

 

Prizes are non-transferable, with no cash redemption or equivalent value. All federal, state and local income taxes connected to the prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. Sponsor shall only be responsible for awarding the number of prizes as stated in these rules. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the prize for one of equal or greater value if the designated prize should become unavailable for any reason. Sponsor expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for injury or loss to any person or property relating to the delivery and/or subsequent use of prizes awarded. Sponsor makes no representation or warranties concerning the appearance, safety, or performance of any prizes awarded.

 

7. Claiming Prize: All properly claimed prizes will be awarded. As a condition of winning the prizes, each winner (or parent/legal guardian if a winner is a minor in his/her place of residence) must sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability, and Publicity Release, where permitted by law, and any other applicable forms required by any applicable taxing authority within ten (10) days of receipt of prize notification or prizes will be forfeited and an alternate winner selected, all of which must be received by Sponsor.

 

The potential winner(s) will be notified by an email from Sponsor within seven (7) days of selection at the email address provided by the selected Entrant.  The selected Entrants/potential winners are then required to follow the emailed directions for contacting Sponsor to redeem the prize.  Sponsor will only deliver the prize within the normal and customary delivery location from the closest Rent-A-Center store.  If a winner desires for the prize to be delivered outside of the normal and customary delivery area, then the winner must assume sole responsibility for having the prize delivered to the desired location, including logistically and financially.  Sponsor will in no way be responsible for delivering the prize outside of the normal and customary delivery area.  A selected Entrant/potential winner forfeits the prize and a new selected Entrant/potential winner may be selected if (a) the correct name and residence of selected Entrant/potential winner cannot be confirmed; (b) a selected Entrant/potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the Declaration of Compliance, Liability, and Publicity Release, or does not provide any other requested information within the required time period; or (c) prize is not deliverable, including because the selected Entrant/potential winner does not make the necessary delivery arrangements. Should a prize winner make any false statement(s) in any document referenced above, the winner will be required to promptly return his/her prize to Sponsor. In the event there is a dispute of the Entrant’s identity, the prize will be awarded to the Authorized Account Holder.

 

In the event that the selected winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the 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. Prize will be fulfilled approximately 8-10 weeks after the conclusion of the Sweepstakes. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any Entrant who (a) does not comply with Sweepstakes Rules or instructions; (b) submits or posts anything that is inappropriate, offensive, obscene, or derogatory; or (C) violates or infringes any third party’s rights or interests, including without limitation privacy and intellectual property rights.

 

8. Limitation of Liability: By participating in this Sweepstakes, Entrants agree to release and hold harmless Sponsor and each of its subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, distributors, advertising/promotion agencies, and prize suppliers, and each of their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees agents and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all liability whatsoever for any injuries, losses or damages of any kind arising from on in connection with, either directly or indirectly, 1) the awarding, acceptance, receipt, possession, use and/or misuse of any prize awarded herein; and/or 2) participation in the Sweepstakes or any prize related activities, including but not limited to, personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of property. Upon delivering the prize to the winner, Sponsor will be deemed to have awarded the prize to the winner with winner assuming full responsibility for the prize.

 

Entrants agree that they cannot bring any claim, and 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 hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Sweepstakes; (4) technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing of entries; (5) late, lost, undeliverable, damaged, or stolen communications and/or mail; or (6) any 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, including any injury or damage to Entrant’s or any other person’s computer relating to or resulting from participating in this Sweepstakes or downloading any materials in this Sweepstakes. 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 entry in the Sweepstakes, if it is possible. If the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, is discontinued for any reason, Sponsor, at its discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the date/time of discontinuance for any or all of the prizes 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 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.

 

Under no circumstances will Entrants be permitted to obtain awards for, and Entrants hereby waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages, or any other damages, including attorneys’ fees, and Entrants further waive all rights to have damages multiplied or increased.

10. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend, and/or modify the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, human error or any other factor beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Such force majeure conditions include, without limitation, weather or communications malfunctions, pandemic, mail delivery delays, third party supplier delays, and other delays due to circumstances outside of Sponsor’s reasonable control. 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.
