Approximate AVR on prizes is only an approximation and not a guarantee of price or value.

In the event Sponsor is unable to award prize as stated, Winner will receive a substitute prize of equal or greater value, at Sponsor's discretion. Winner may not transfer prize to another person. Sponsor will not replace any lost, mutilated or stolen prize or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address or other contact information. If a winner does not accept the prize, the unaccepted prize will be forfeited and Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or the winner. Sponsor is not responsible for any inability of any winner to accept or use any prize (or portion thereof) for any reason. No transfers, prize substitutions or cash redemptions will be made, except at Sponsor's sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right and sole discretion to substitute the stated prizes or portion thereof with another prize or portion thereof of equal or greater value for any reason, including, without limitation, prize unavailability. No more than the stated prizes will be awarded. Any federal, state and local taxes, as well as any expenses costs or fees not specifically listed in these Official Rules as being provided as part of the prize are the sole responsibility of the winner.
