All Entries are subject to verification at any time and for any reason. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require proof of identity or eligibility (in a form acceptable to the Sponsor – including, without limitation, government-issued photo identification): (I) for the purposes of verifying an individual’s eligibility to participate in this Contest; (ii) for the purposes of verifying the eligibility or legitimacy of any Entry entered (or purportedly entered) for the purposes of this Contest; or (iii) for any other reason the Sponsor deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the purposes of administering this Contest in accordance with these Contest Rules. Failure to provide such proof to the satisfaction of the Sponsor in a timely manner may result in disqualification in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor.
In the event of a dispute, Entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the authorized account holder of the Instagram account used at the time of entry. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned an Instagram account by Instagram. If the identity of an Entrant is disputed, the authorized account holder associated with the email account at the time of entry will be deemed to be the Entrant.
One (1) eligible Entrant (a “Selected Entrant”) will be selected by random drawing. The random drawing will be conducted approximately one (1) business day after the Contest Period by Sponsor or its designated representatives, whose decisions are final.

No substitution or transfer of a prize is permitted except by Sponsor. A Selected Entrant may be required to provide proof that he/she is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the selected Entry.

Sponsor reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to award a substitute prize of equal or greater value if a Prize described in these Contest Rules is unavailable or cannot be awarded, in whole or in part, for any reason. The ARV represents Sponsor’s good faith determination. That determination is final and binding and cannot be appealed. If the actual value of the Prize turns out to be less than the stated ARV, the difference will not be awarded in cash.
Sponsor makes no representation or warranty concerning the appearance, safety or performance of any Prize awarded. Prizes are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
