Selected Entrant cannot assign or transfer their prize to another person or business.  Selected Entrant is solely responsible for any and all federal, state, and local taxes on Prize. If Prize notification or any prize is returned as undeliverable, or if Selected Entrant may not accept or receive a prize for any reason, Prize will be forfeited. Sponsor will not make multiple attempts to contact Selected Entrants.

10.    Winner Selection and Notification of Selected Entrant:

The Selected Entrants will be contacted by direct message using the account from the initial entry to confirm they meet the qualifications.  Selected Entrants will have seventy-two (72) hours to respond and claim their Prize. If they do not respond with 72 hours a new winner may be selected.  Sponsor may randomly select an alternate Selected Entrant from among the remaining eligible entries, up to one (1) time.  Selected Entrants may also be sent a declaration of eligibility / liability / publicity release (“Release”). Unless restricted by law, Selected Entrants will be required to complete and return the Release within five (5) days from the date of notification. An alternate Selected Entrant may be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries if a Selected Entrant   (i) cannot be reached; (ii) fails to obtain all signatures on the Release and to return the documents in a timely manner as required pursuant to these Official Rules; or (iii) cannot accept or receive the prize for any reason.  Selected Entrants will have the Prize sent by post, within ten (10) business days after the date on which the Sponsor receives the Selected Entrant’s information and eligibility is confirmed, which may include the completed, signed Release (exact timing subject to change based upon availability of Prize). In the event of a dispute about the identity of an Entrant, each entry will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the Instagram account submitted at time of entry.
