The Membership Sweepstakes Winner shall be referred to as the “Winner”. The Sponsor is responsible only for Membership Sweepstakes Prize delivery and not Membership Sweepstakes Prize utility.

ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of winning a Prize depends on the total number of eligible entries received during the Membership Sweepstakes Entry Period. There is no limit to the number of entries the Sponsor may receive, however each entrant is limited to 1 entry.

The Winner selection process is as follows: On or about August 25, 2026 (the “Drawing Date”), Sponsor will select the potential Membership Sweepstakes Prize winner ("Potential Winner") in accordance with these Official Rules. The Potential Winner will be selected by random drawing using a random number generator algorithm from all eligible entries received by the Sponsor during the Membership Sweepstakes Entry Period. The Potential Winner will be notified by email and/or by telephone shortly after the Drawing Date, using the email address or telephone number provided with the selected entry, and will be conditionally awarded the Membership Sweepstakes Prize subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms and conditions of these Official Rules. If a Potential Winner does not respond within 72 hours after the first notification attempt, or if the prize notification is returned as undeliverable, or if the Potential Winner fails to provide the necessary information to confirm the Potential Winner’s identity and eligibility to receive the Membership Sweepstakes Prize, such Potential Winner may be disqualified and the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, select an alternate Potential Winner to be selected by a random drawing from among the remaining eligible entries. The notification will include instructions for how to contact the Sponsor to provide name, address and other information that may be required to complete validation of eligibility and delivery of the Membership Sweepstakes Prize. No liability is assumed for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a Potential Winner for any reason. In the event that a Potential Winner is disqualified for any reason, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, award the Membership Sweepstakes Prize to an alternate Potential Winner who will be selected by a random drawing from among the remaining eligible entries. The selected Potential Winner must execute all consents as provided by applicable law.

VERIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNER: Each Potential Winner is subject to verification by the Sponsor. Sponsor’s decisions are final and binding in all matter relating to the administration, operation, selection of the Potential Winner, and all other matters related to the Membership Sweepstakes. An entrant is not a winner of any prize unless and until the entrant’s eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules has been verified by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, and the entrant has been notified that verification is complete. In order to receive the Prize, the Potential Winner will be required to correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical, electronic, or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by phone by the Sponsor or Sponsor’s designated agent at a mutually agreeable time. The Potential Winner may be required to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability and/or Publicity Release in the form(s) provided by Sponsor or Sponsor’s Attorneys (collectively, the "Affidavit") by the date specified by Sponsor, or such Potential Winner will be disqualified, and an alternate Potential Winner may be selected. In the event that (a) Potential Winner cannot be reached within 72 hours of initial notification from Sponsor, or for whatever reason after a reasonable effort has been exerted, or the Potential Winner notification or Affidavit is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable, or if the Potential Winner fails to provide the necessary information to confirm the Potential Winner’s identity, residency and eligibility to receive the Membership Sweepstakes Prize within the allotted time provided; (b) Potential Winner declines or cannot accept, receive or use the Membership Sweepstakes Prize for any reason; (c) Potential Winner is found to be ineligible to enter the Membership Sweepstakes or receive the Sweepstakes Prize ; (d) Potential Winner fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question; (e) Potential Winner did not, cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules; or (f) Potential Winner fails to fulfill the Affidavit- related, Release of Liability, identity verification or Publicity Release (where permitted by law) obligations within the allotted time, then the Potential Winner shall be disqualified from the Membership Sweepstakes and an alternate Potential Winner may be randomly selected, at Sponsor’s sole discretion, from among the remaining eligible entries received. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification and Affidavit procedures in connection with the selection of an alternate Potential Winner, if any. A Potential Winner will be declared the Membership Sweepstakes Winner when all of the conditions of these Official Rules are fulfilled to the satisfaction of Sponsor, in its sole discretion. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of the entrant, any online entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the e- mail account provided to the Sponsor at the time of entry, provided such account holder still meets the eligibility requirements for the Membership Sweepstakes. The authorized account holder shall be the natural person to whom the applicable email address has been assigned by the Internet access provider, service provider, or other online organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address. Sponsor may limit the number of attempts to award a Prize to up to two (2) attempts. If a Winner cannot be confirmed after up to two (2) attempts, the Prize may remain unawarded.

AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE, EVEN IF THE SWEEPSTAKES SHOULD SO INDICATE, UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND COMPLIANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED  THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE.
