(5) WINNER SELECTION:
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on the next business day following the end of the Contest Period, ten (10) Entrants will be selected (each, a “Selected Entrant”) by random draw to be eligible to win a Prize. The random draw will take place at the head office of MLSE, or such other location in Ontario as the Contest Sponsors may determine. There is a limit of one (1) Prize per Entrant.
The Selected Entrant will be notified of their selection by the contact information provided in the App. If a Selected Entrant cannot be contacted or fails to respond within forty-eight (48) hours of the first attempt of contact by the Contest Sponsors, they will be considered to have forfeited their Prize and will be disqualified and another Entrant may be selected from the remaining eligible Entries until such time as contact is made with a Selected Entrant or there are no more eligible Entries, whichever comes first (in which case the above-noted process will apply to such alternate Entrant). The Contest Sponsors will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact any Selected Entrant.
(6) CLAIMING YOUR PRIZE
To be declared a winner (“Winner”), the Selected Entrant will also be required to answer correctly, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question posed either by telephone or email at the contact information provided on the account of records for the Selected Entrant. The Winner may be required to sign a Declaration, Release and Waiver Form (the “Release Form”) confirming compliance with the Official Rules, acceptance of the Prize as awarded, without substitution, and releasing the Released Parties from any liability in connection with the Prize or the Contest before being granted the Prize.
If the Selected Entrant does not meet all of the Contest requirements, fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question, refuses to provide the contact information requested by the Contest Sponsor or does not sign and return the Release Form or license agreement to the Contest Sponsor within the time frame specified therein, that Selected Entrant will forfeit his/her Prize and the Contest Sponsor shall be entitled (but not obligated) to select another Entrant from the remaining eligible Entries until such time as contact is made with an Entrant or there are no more eligible Entries, whichever comes first. This process may continue until the Prize has been awarded or there is insufficient time to permit the awarding of a Prize. In the event that an alternate Selected Entrant is required to be selected, the same above-noted process will apply. The Contest Sponsor are not responsible, whether as a result of human error or otherwise, for any failure to contact any Selected Entrant.
