   business hours (Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) within thirty (30)
   days after the day he or she wins.  This is to verify that the prize is being given to
   the qualified winner.  Failure to comply with this deadline shall be deemed to be

   he or she is a qualified winner by presenting identification acceptable to Stations
   (g., state driver’s license; state issued identification card; valid passport with
   address verification; or birth certificate with social security card and photo

   sweepstakes or contest, each entrant agrees that the Sponsor has the right to
   contact the entrant by phone, direct message, or email accounts provided on the
   entry form by you to administer and fulfill a sweepstakes or contest.
    
10. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or
    modify a sweepstakes or contest, or any part of it, for any reason whatsoever,
    including, without limitation, fire, flood, natural or man-made epidemic of health of
    other means, tropical storm, hurricane, earthquake, explosion, labor dispute or
    strike, act of God or public enemy, satellite or equipment failure, riot or civil
    disturbance, terrorist threat or activity, war (declared or undeclared) or any
    federal state or local government law, order, or regulation, public health crisis,
    order of any court or jurisdiction or if any fraud, technical failures or any other
    factor beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper
    functioning of a sweepstakes or contest, as determined by Sponsor in its sole

discretion. If a sweepstakes or contest is terminated before the designated end
date, Sponsor will (if possible) select the winners in a random drawing from all
eligible, non-suspect entries received as of the date of the event giving rise to the
termination.  Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant’s sole and exclusive
remedy under such circumstances.  Sponsor reserves the right in its sole
discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry
process or the operation of a sweepstakes or contest or to be acting in violation
of these Official Rules or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or
disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the
legitimate operation of a sweepstakes or contest may be a violation of criminal
and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right
to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Only the type and quantity of prizes described in these Official Rules will be
awarded.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these rules shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.  In the event that
any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal,
these rules shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance
with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. 
Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a
waiver of that provision.
 

9. Limitations of Liability: The Released Parties as set forth above are not
   responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by
   entrants, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated
   with or utilized in the Sweepstakes; (2) technical failures of any kind, including,
   but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or
   network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of
   the entry process or a sweepstakes or contest; (4) technical or human error
   which may occur in the administration of a sweepstakes or contest or the
   processing of entries; or (5) any injury or damage to persons or property which
   may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s
   participation in a sweepstakes or contest, or receipt or use or misuse of any
   prize. If for any reason an entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted,
   lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry
   in a sweepstakes or contest, provided that if it is not possible to award another
   entry due to discontinuance of a sweepstakes or contest, or any part of it, for any
   reason, Sponsor, at its discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from
   among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all
   of the prizes offered herein. Entrant further agrees and acknowledges that
