downloading of any materials in the Sweepstakes.
Sponsor and its agents are not responsible for printing,
distribution, or production errors and may, in their sole discretion, rescind,
cancel, suspend, modify, or revoke this Sweepstakes based upon any such error

will more than the advertised number of prizes be awarded. Antifraud detection
devices may be used for verification purposes. In the event there is a
discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained
in any Sweepstakes materials and the terms and conditions of the Official
Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and
control.
Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules
shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Headings are solely for
convenience and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or
intent of the documents or any provision hereof.

deliberately damage any website or undermine the legitimate operation of the
Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil laws, 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.
