All registration information requested must be provided. Registrations must be submitted by 11:59 PM ET on 9/7/10. Limit: One (1) Entry per person or email address. Multiple Entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. In the event more than one Sweepstakes Entry is received from any one person or email address, the first Entry processed will be considered the only valid Entry received. Any attempt by an Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple or different email addresses or identities will void that Entrant’s Entries and that Entrant may be disqualified. In the event of a dispute, Entries will be deemed made by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of Entry. The authorized account holder is the natural person who is assigned to the email address by an internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses or the domain associated with the submitted email address. Any potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Entries that are incomplete or corrupted are void. Sweepstakes Entities are not liable for late or misdirected Entries.

WINNER SELECTION: The potential winner will be selected in a random drawing conducted on or about 9/8/10 from among all eligible Entries received. Drawing will be conducted by Administrator, an independent judging organization. Administrator will attempt to contact potential winner by phone. Potential winner must be prepared and able to travel from 9/10/10 – 9/13/10 and must respond by telephone within six (6) hours of the Administrator’s first attempt to contact him/her in order to be eligible to claim the prize. Potential winner must be able to receive calls from a blocked/unlisted number. If potential winner timely responds, Administrator will orally request information from the potential winner to confirm preliminary eligibility, including potential winner’s availability to travel on the specified dates. If potential winner is deemed potentially eligible based on the preliminary questions, Administrator will send an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability Release and, unless prohibited by law, a Publicity Release form (“Affidavit/Release”) to the potential winner by email or facsimile to be executed and returned by email or facsimile within twenty-four (24) hours from the delivery Administrator’s email or facsimile. If the potential winner cannot be contacted within the specified time after the first attempt to contact him/her, if he/she fails to execute and return the Affidavit/Release within twenty-four (24) hours, if he/she is unable to travel on the specified dates, or if he/she is otherwise ineligible to receive the prize, that potential winner will be deemed ineligible. An alternate will be selected in his/her place from among all eligible remaining Entries and Administrator will attempt to contact and obtain the required Affidavit/Release from that potential winner. The winner’s guest must be 18 years of age or older and will be required to sign a Liability Release and where permitted by law, a Publicity Release prior to issuance of travel documents. Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of prize constitutes permission for Sponsor to use winner’s name, hometown, likeness, statements and other personally identifiable information for promotional, advertising and marketing purposes in any media throughout the world without additional prize, incentive, consideration, consent or review. Potential winner may be subject to a background investigation at Sponsor’s discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify a potential winner based on their review of the results of the background investigation. If the winner is disqualified for any reason an alternate winner will be selected (as time permits) from among all eligible remaining Entries. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible Entries received. Limit: One (1) Prize per person or household.
