will be required to complete a web-based Winner Notification Survey in order to
accept Prize. By completing the Winner Notification Survey, Entrant: (i)
confirms compliance with these Official Sweepstakes Rules (the "Official
Rules"); (ii) acknowledges acceptance of the applicable Prize (as
awarded); (iii) to the greatest extent permitted by law, releases, discharges,
and hold harmless the Sponsor and Administrator and each of their respective
officers, directors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all
liability, claims, losses, and damages arising out of or relating to their
participation in this Sweepstakes or the acceptance, use, misuse, or possession
of any prize received in this
Sweepstakes; and
(iv) agrees (except where prohibited by law or regulation) to the publication,
reproduction and/or other use of the selected Entrant's first name and city of
residence, without further notice or compensation, in any publicity or
advertisement carried out by the Sponsor in any manner whatsoever, including
print, broadcast or the internet.
Selected Entrant
will not be confirmed as Winner until Winner Notification Survey is completed
in its entirety. Prize will be sent by email to Winner within eight (8) weeks
of confirmation. If a selected Entrant cannot be contacted or fails to complete
the Winner Notification Survey within the specified time, or if the winner does
not otherwise comply with these Official Rules and/or cannot accept the Prize
as awarded for any reason, then the selected Entrant will be disqualified (and
will forfeit all rights to the applicable Prize) and the Administrator reserves
the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and time permitting, to randomly
select an alternate eligible Entrant from among the remaining entries that were
eligible for the same draw (in which case the foregoing provisions of this
section shall apply to such newly selected Entrant). Up to two (2) alternate
drawings will be held during each Period, after which the Prize will remain
unawarded if a Winner is not confirmed.
The Sponsor reserves
the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel, amend or suspend
this Sweepstakes (or to amend these Official Rules) in any way without prior
notice or obligation, in the event of any technical or other problems, or in
light of any other circumstances which, in the reasonable opinion of the
Sponsor, affect the proper administration of the Sweepstakes as contemplated in
these Official Rules.
Any attempt to
deliberately damage any website or to undermine the legitimate operation of
this Sweepstakes in any way (as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute
discretion) is a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an
attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek remedies and damages to
the fullest extent permitted by law.
10) Disqualification:
If it is discovered by the Sponsor or Administrator (using any evidence or
other information made available to or otherwise discovered) that any person
has attempted to use multiple names, identities, email addresses, and/or any
automated, macro, script, robotic or other system(s) or program(s) to enter or
otherwise participate in or disrupt this Sweepstakes; then he/she may be
disqualified from the Sweepstakes in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Sponsor or Administrator. No third party entry or entry through a sweepstakes
service is permitted. ANYONE DETERMINED TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THESE OFFICIAL
RULES FOR ANY REASON IS SUBJECT TO DISQUALIFICATION IN THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE
DISCRETION OF THE SPONSOR AT ANY TIME.
11) General Conditions:
Except where prohibited by law or regulation, by participating, each
Entrant hereby grants the Sponsor a perpetual, royalty-free license to use
his/her first name and city of residence for promotional purposes, without
Entrant’s consent, review or approval, and each Entrant hereby waives any and
all claims and/or rights to receive payment or consideration for Sponsor’s use
thereof.
All entries become
the property of the Sponsor. The Released Parties are not responsible for late,
lost, misdirected, delayed, incomplete or incompatible entries (all of which
are void). Any automated computer receipt (such as a "thank you"
message) does not constitute proof of actual receipt by Sponsor or
Administrator of an entry for purposes of these Official Rules. In the event of
a dispute regarding who submitted an entry, entries will be deemed to have been
submitted by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at
the time of signing up for the Henry Ford Insights Community. "Authorized
account holder" is defined as the person who is assigned an email address
by an internet provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g.
business, educational institute, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email
addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. An
entrant may be required to provide proof (in a form acceptable to the Sponsor –
including, without limitation, government issued photo identification) that
he/she is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with
the entry in question.
12) Limitation of
Liability: The Released Parties are not responsible for: (i) any incorrect
or inaccurate information, whether caused by Entrants or by any of the
equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes; (ii)
technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to malfunctions,
interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or
software; (iii) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry
process or the Sweepstakes; (iv) technical or human error which may occur in
the administration of the
Sweepstakes or the
processing of entries; (v) late, lost, undeliverable, damaged or stolen mail;
or (vi) 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
the Sweepstakes or receipt or use or misuse of any prize.
13) Disputes: All
issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the
Entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan without
giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the
State of Michigan or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application
of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Michigan. Any legal
claims arising from or relating to the Sweepstakes and/or these Official Rules
must be brought in the federal or state courts located in Detroit, Michigan.
