The potential prize winners will be notified by Administrator or Sponsor by telephone, email, and/or mail (method selected in Administrator’s discretion). Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, the potential winners will be declared the official winners of the Sweeps. In the event that a potential winner is selected via an Eligible Card transaction (purchase), the prize will be awarded to the individual named on the Eligible Card that was used to make the winning transaction (as determined by Participating FI’s account records and subject to Participating FI’s timely identification). If awarding of a prize is in conflict with the business’s written policy or not feasible after Sponsor’s good faith effort to obtain Cardholder account contact information from Mastercard FI, prize will be forfeited, and an alternate potential winner may be selected by random drawing from among all remaining entries received during the applicable Entry Period. The Released Parties are not responsible for false, incorrect, changed, incomplete, or illegible contact information. The Released Parties shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted, or not received by a potential winner for any reason.
Prizes: A total of two thousand four hundred eighty-five (2,485) prizes will be awarded in this Sweeps. Federal, state, and local taxes and all other expenses not specified herein are each winner’s sole responsibility. The ARV (defined below) of the prizes is based on available information provided to Sponsor and the value of any prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. The ARV of each prize 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. Each potential winner may be required to provide Sponsor with a valid Social Security number before the prizes will be awarded for tax reporting purposes. An IRS Form 1099 may be issued in the name of each winner for the actual value of the prizes received. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited. The Released Parties are not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated, or stolen prize(s) or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach a winner because of an incorrect or changed address. If a winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited, and the Released Parties will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. Mastercard Prepaid® card restrictions apply: https://prepaidcardtermsandconditions.com. An entrant may win one (1) Weekly Period prize across all Weekly Periods, but once they have won a Weekly Period prize, they are no longer eligible to win any additional Weekly Period prizes. An entrant may win one (1) Monthly Prize across all Monthly Periods, but once they have won a Monthly Prize, they are no longer eligible to win any additional Monthly Period prizes. Even if an entrant has won a Weekly Period prize or a Monthly Period prize, entrant may also win one (1) Grand Prize.

Prize details and availability are subject to change and prize provider’s rules and restrictions, and in the event that Sponsor is unable to provide the winner with his or her prize, the Sponsor may elect to provide winners with the approximate value of such item in cash or award an alternate prize of comparable or greater value. All prizes are awarded “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). Prize(s), if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. The Released Parties are not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated, or stolen prizes or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address.

For information regarding Sponsor’s privacy practices, please click here or visit https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/global-privacy-notice.html. Any information an entrant provides may be used to communicate with an entrant in relation to this Sweeps or on a Sweeps winner’s list.

Sponsor and/or Participating FIs may elect to send email marketing communications to its Cardholders or other email recipients in its database in connection with the Sweeps. You can, at any time and free of charge, choose not to receive any of those email communications by clicking on the unsubscribe link within the email. Opting out of receiving email communications from Sponsor or a Participating FI will not preclude a consumer from winning. Opting out of receiving marketing communications does not opt you out of receiving servicing/transactional emails related to your account with Sponsor and/or the Participating FI.
Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of a prize constitutes each winner’s irrevocable consent to the Released Parties, and each of their respective agents’, successors’, assigns’ and other designees’ use of each winner’s name, likeness, photograph, voice, statements, social media posts/handles, opinions, biographical information, prize, and/or state/city of residence for advertising and promotional and publicity purposes in any and all media or formats, worldwide, in perpetuity, without any permission, notification, payment, or consideration, except for the awarding of the prize(s) to the winners. You may be required to sign a document confirming your consent to this effect. Failure to complete required consent documentation may result in forfeiture of prize. Released Parties are not responsible for late, lost, stolen, illegible, incomplete, misdirected, delayed, garbled, damaged, inaccurate, or undelivered emails, entries, theft, destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, Sweeps Data, defect/delay in transmission or communication, including, but not limited to, recording failures, or for telephonic, human or computer failures, problems or errors, interruptions in service leveraged to create an entry, whether due to system upgrades, repairs, modifications or other causes, defect, or delay in transmission, connections, satellite, network, cable, internet service provider (ISP), phones, phone lines or telephone systems, recording/filming systems, electronic equipment, computer hardware or software failures, inaccurate entry information, traffic congestion on the internet, technical or mechanical malfunctions, or other malfunctions, errors or delays, whether caused by equipment, programming, human error, acts of God or otherwise relating to or in connection with the Sweeps, including, without limitation, errors that may occur in connection with the administration of the Sweeps, the processing of entries, Sweeps Data processing, the announcement of prizes and winners, the cancellation or postponement of the Sweeps, for any injury or damage to an entrant’s or any other person’s computer or other device relating to or resulting from participation in this Sweeps, or for printing, typographical, human, or other errors appearing in these Official Rules, in any Sweeps advertisements, or other materials.
Limitation of Liability: BY ENTERING THE SWEEPS, EACH ENTRANT AGREES THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE SWEEPS, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (B) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY), NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; (C) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION OR THE THEORY OF RECOVERY, EVEN IF THE RELEASED PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; AND (D) ENTRANT’S REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A CLAIM FOR MONEY DAMAGES (IF ANY) AND ENTRANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Choice of Law: All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of an entrant and the Released Parties in connection with the Sweeps, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of New York, USA, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other state’s law.
Arbitration: Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of participating in this Sweeps, each entrant agrees that: (1) any and all disputes and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweeps, or any prize awarded, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by final and binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association and held in New York County, New York; (2) the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and all proceedings at such arbitration; and (3) judgment upon such arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury, and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York. The Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of any entrant or any other individual (including legal counsel) to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between an arbitration provision contained in any Eligible Card terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of these Official Rules, these Official Rules shall prevail, govern, and control, and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
Miscellaneous: No transfer, assignment, cash redemption, or substitution of a prize (or portion thereof) will be permitted, except by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, due to prize unavailability or other causes otherwise determined solely by Sponsor, and then for a prize (or applicable portion) of equal or greater value. Each potential prize winner may be required to notify Sponsor and Administrator of prize acceptance by returning an executed and notarized Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release and (where legal) Publicity Release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”) within five (5) business days of issuance of notification or other time period determined by Sponsor and the other Released Parties in their sole discretion. If any potential winner fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents within five (5) business days of prize notification, or within another time period determined by Sponsor, or the other Released Parties, in their sole discretion, such potential winner will be automatically disqualified. Potential winners may also be required to submit to a confidential background check to confirm eligibility and confirm such person, or the use of any such person in advertising, promotion, or publicity, will not pose a security threat or bring the Released Parties into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule or reflect unfavorably on the Released Parties as determined by Sponsor, or the other Released Parties, in their sole discretion, and, in such event, the potential winner’s prize may be forfeited. Non-compliance with any of the foregoing may result in disqualification and awarding of a prize to an alternate potential winner, if time permits. If any prize or prize notification letter and/or email is returned as undeliverable or the prize is declined for any reason, the potential winner will be disqualified and, at Sponsor’s sole discretion and time permitting, an alternate potential winner may be selected by random drawing from among all remaining Sweeps entries. Should a potential winner decide to decline his or her prize for any reason whatsoever or not respond to the prize notification by the applicable response deadline, Sponsor (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the other Released Parties) shall have no further obligation to that potential winner and an alternate potential winner may be randomly selected from among all remaining Sweeps entries, if time permits. The Released Parties are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in entrant’s email account to receive email messages. By participating, entrants acknowledge they have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Official Rules and agree that the Released Parties and each of their respective designees and assigns and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents, and the franchisees of any of them shall have no liability and an entrant will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any liability, loss, injury, or damage of any kind (including attorneys’ fees) to any person or entity, including, without limitation, personal injury, death, or damage to personal or real property, due in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by reason of: (i) an entrant’s participation/entry into the Sweeps; (ii) any materials he or she may submit in connection herewith; (iii) the acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of a prize (or portion thereof) or participation in any activities associated with the Sweeps or any prize (or portion thereof) awarded in connection herewith; (iv) the Released Parties’ violation of rights of publicity or privacy, claims of defamation or portrayal in a false light or based on any claim of infringement of intellectual property; and (v) any typographical, human, or other error in the printing, offering, selection, operation, or announcement of any Sweeps activity and/or prize. The Released Parties are not responsible for the actions of entrants in connection with the Sweeps, including entrants’ attempts to circumvent these Official Rules or otherwise interfere with the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of the Sweeps. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void any and all entries of an entrant who Sponsor believes has attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of this Sweeps and to amend, modify, suspend, and/or terminate this Sweeps (or portion thereof) should virus, bugs, non-authorized human or artificial intelligence intervention, or other causes corrupt or impair the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of the Sweeps and, in the case of termination, at its discretion, select potential winners via a random drawing from among all eligible, non-suspect entries received before the event that required such termination. In the event Sponsor or Administrator is prevented from continuing with the Sweeps by any event beyond its control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, epidemic, pandemic, earthquake, explosion, labor dispute or strike, act of God or public enemy, communications or equipment failure, utility or service interruptions, riot or civil disturbance, large-scale illness, terrorist threat or activity, war (declared or undeclared), interference with the Sweeps by any party, or any federal, state, or local government law, order, or regulation, order of any court or jurisdiction, or other cause not reasonably within Sponsor’s and/or Administrator’s control (each, a “Force Majeure” event or occurrence), Sponsor shall have the right to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Sweeps or any prize. Sponsor may decide to postpone drawing dates and other deadlines herein or terminate the Sweeps early. In the event the Sweeps is terminated early, Sponsor shall immediately suspend all drawing and prize awards, and Sponsor reserves the right to award any remaining prizes (up to the total ARV as set forth in these Official Rules) in a manner deemed fair and equitable by Sponsor. Sponsor shall not have any further liability to any entrant in connection with the Sweeps. Sponsor and Administrator additionally reserve the right, in their sole and absolute discretion: (a) to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Sweeps should a Force Majeure event corrupt or interfere with the administration, integrity, operation, security, or proper play of the Sweeps; or (b) to disqualify any entrant found to be, or suspected of: (i) tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweeps; (ii) acting in violation of these Official Rules; or (iii) acting in an unsportsmanlike manner. CAUTION: Any attempt to undermine the legitimate operation of this Sweeps is a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an attempt be made, Sponsor and the applicable Released Parties reserve the right to seek damages (including attorneys’ fees) and/or other remedies from any such person(s) responsible for the attempt to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Sweeps and all prizes are provided “as is” and the Released Parties make no warranty, guaranty, or representation of any kind concerning any prize (or any portion thereof) and disclaim any implied warranty. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied or other warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to you to the extent such jurisdiction's law is applicable to you and these Official Rules.
