related to, or resulting from, participation or 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 without
liability. If by reason of a printing,
computer, or other error more prizes are awarded in a prize category than the
number set forth in these Official Rules, all persons purportedly making valid
claims will be included in a random drawing to award the advertised number of
prizes available. In no case 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.
Caution: Any attempt by an entrant to deliberately damage any website or
undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of

the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted
by law.
