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,
virus, or other technical problem, 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) award the prize(s) at random
from among the eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment. 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 these Official Rules 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, Sponsor
reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by
law. Failure by Sponsor to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a
waiver of that provision. Proof of sending any communication to Sponsor by mail shall
not be deemed proof of receipt of that communication by Sponsor. In the event of a
dispute as to any online entry, the authorized account holder of the e-mail address used to
enter will be deemed to be the participant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural
person who is assigned to 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 e-mail address. The Sweepstakes is subject to federal,
state, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited.
10. Release and Limitations of Liability: By participating in the Sweepstakes, you agree to
release and hold harmless Sponsor, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (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, or telephone, or network lines; (c) printing errors; (d) lost, late, postage-due,
misdirected, or undeliverable mail; (e) errors in the administration of the Sweepstakes or
the processing of entries; 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 or use of any prize. You further agree 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.
You waive the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to,
punitive, consequential, direct, or indirect damages.
11. Privacy and Publicity: Any information you submit as part of the Sweepstakes will be
used for purposes of this Sweepstakes and treated in accordance with Sponsor’s Privacy
Policy. Except where prohibited, participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes an entrant’s
consent to Sponsor’s use of his/her name, likeness, voice, opinions, biographical
information, and state of residence for promotional purposes in any media without further
payment or consideration.
12. Disputes: Except where prohibited, you agree that any and all disputes, claims and
causes of action arising out of, or connected with, the Contest or any prize awarded shall
be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by
the appropriate court located in Washington, DC. All issues and questions concerning
the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, your
