Please read these Official Rules carefully, because by entering, participating or accepting a prize, you are agreeing to be unconditionally legally bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in these Official Rules. If you violate or fail to comply with any term or condition in these Official Rules, we have the right to disqualify you, and you will forfeit the right to receive any prize. In all matters relating to this Sweepstake, the Sponsor has the sole right to exercise complete discretion and judgment, including, without limitation, the administration, operation and conduct of the Sweepstake. All decisions of the Sponsor are and shall be final and binding.
To be a qualified entrant (“Entrant”), eligible to enter, participate and awarded a prize, you must be at least 18 years old and a legal resident in the 50 United States of America during the entire Sweepstake Period. No employee, director, officer, owner of the Sponsor, nor any of their subsidiaries, affiliates, contractors, agents or members of their immediate families or individuals living in the same household (individually and/or collectively, the “Sponsor Entities”) are eligible. You may only enter once, and the Entrant will be deemed to be the natural person associated with the social media account they used to enter.

After December 30, 2021, the Sponsor or the Sponsor's designated representative will choose one (1) grand prize winner (the “Grand Prize Winner”) from all eligible entries from the six (6) Sweepstakes. Entries generated by a script, macro or other automated means are prohibited and will be automatically disqualified. Decisions are final in all matters relating to this Sweepstake. Winners will be notified by social media direct message (“DM”) for further instructions.
If, for any reason, any potential Winner who is awarded a prize is unable or unwilling to accept the prize, does not respond within two (2) days after our first attempt to contact the Entrant (using their Instagram username, Facebook profile or email) or is disqualified or considered ineligible as an Entrant, that potential Winner will forfeit any and all rights under these Official Rules, including, without limitation, any right to receive a prize, and a potential Winner for that prize will be drawn from the remaining pool of eligible Entrants.
