immediate family members (or persons living in the households) of any such officers, directors, and employees,
are not eligible to enter the Sweepstakes.

Sponsor will have no responsibility for, and will have the right to refuse in its sole and absolute discretion, any
copies of submitted entries, entries that have been tampered with, or entries that are misdirected, incomplete,
non-conforming, corrupt, lost, late, or ineligible, whether due to Internet or e-mail server failure or otherwise. In
the event of a dispute regarding who submitted an entry, the entry will be deemed to have been submitted by the
owner of the e-mail account specified in the entry. “Owner” means, for purposes of these Rules, the person who
is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet service provider, online service provider, or other organization
(e.g., educational institution) that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the
submitted e-mail address.
4. Participation; Odds. No purchase is necessary to enter or win the Sweepstakes. The odds of winning a prize
depend on the total number of eligible entries received.
5. Selection and Notification of Winners. Sweepstakes Winners (“Winners”) will be selected by random
drawing by a representative of Sponsor from among all eligible entries received. Sponsor has the right to
disqualify any entry that is not in compliance with these Rules, in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
Sponsor will notify the Winners by the EMAIL PROVIDED DURING THE CONTEST ENTRY at Sponsor’s discretion. Each of the Winners must
affirmatively respond to the notification as directed and by the deadline specified in the message. Winners will be asked to
provide a URL where the widget is being hosted to verify their contest entry. Either the
failure to timely respond to the notification or the inability of a selected Winner to accept or receive the prize for
any reason may result in forfeiture of the prize and, in such case, Sponsor may randomly select an alternate
winner from among the remaining eligible entries. Winners may be required to sign a Declaration of Eligibility and
a Publicity/Liability Release, to the extent not prohibited by law. If they are required, each Winner must complete
those forms and return them to Sponsor prior to receipt of a prize. Each Winner must take possession of the
prize as directed by Sponsor. Failure to comply with any of the foregoing may result in disqualification and the
selection of alternate Winners. Each Winner will be solely responsible for complying with any and all applicable
federal, state, provincial, local, or other statutes, regulations, and other laws and for bearing any personal income
or other taxes, fees, insurance, surcharges or other costs relating to any prize. Each Winner may be required to
provide Sponsor with the Winner’s social security or tax payer identification number for tax purposes.

to Winners at seven (7) days prior to applicable concert date. If the stated prize is unavailable, Sponsor
has the right to substitute one or more items of equal or greater value, in its sole and absolute discretion. No
prize is exchangeable, transferable, or redeemable for cash.
