agrees to and accepts these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor and/or Administrators,
which are final and legally binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Whether an Entrant
receives a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein (the “Official Rules”).
Please note that an entrant must agree to comply with the Twitter Terms of Service
(https://twitter.com/tos/) and Privacy Policy (https://twitter.com/privacy) (if entering using
Twitter) in order to participate in the Sweepstakes. Creation of an Instagram account requires an

http://instagram.com/about/legal/terms/ and http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/,
respectively. By participating in the Sweepstakes, entrant understands that he or she is providing

Sweepstakes. This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated
with Twitter, Instagram, or any of their affiliates.

6. Submission Limits: Each Entrant may enter up to two (2) Submission during the Sweepstakes
Period per name, account and/or email address. Entrants are not permitted to share the same
email address. Any attempt by any Entrant to obtain more than two (2) Submission during the
Sweepstakes by using multiplier/different accounts, email addresses, identities, registrations and
logins, or any other methods will void that Entrant’s Submissions and that Entrant may be
disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in
disqualification. If the identity of an entrant is disputed, the authorized Twitter account holder
and/or Instagram account holder at the time of entry will be deemed to be the entrant. The
individual assigned to the e-mail address for the domain associated with the submitted Twitter
and/or Instagram comment or photo post is considered the authorized account holder. A selected

edit and/or modify such Submission in any way, in any and all media, for any purpose, without
limitation, and without consideration to the Entrant, his or her successors or assigns, or any other
entity. Entry of a Submission in this Sweepstakes constitutes Entrant’s irrevocable assignment,
conveyance and transference to Sponsor of all right, title and interest in the Submission, including,
without limitation, all copyrights without compensation to the Entrant. Sponsor will have the right
to use the Submission in any packaging, merchandising, advertising, marketing, promotion or for any

participating in the Sweepstakes.

(b) All Submissions become the exclusive property of Sponsor, and none will be acknowledged or
returned. All Submissions will be reviewed for content before being published, however, such
review does not relieve Entrant from responsibility for compliance with these Official Rules. From
time to time during the Sweepstakes Entry Period, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, choose to
feature some recent Submissions on the Website or other various media platforms. Being featured
on the Website or other media platforms in no way reflects the possibility of the Submission being a
