TOTAL ARV OF ALL PRIZES AWARDED IN THIS SWEEPS: $4,900 USD (~$6,481.25 CAD).
Selection of Winners: Potential winners will be selected in a random drawing by Admin, an independent judging
organization whose decisions will be final and binding in all matters relating to this Sweeps, on or about 9/26/19
from among all eligible entries received. The potential winners will be notified by Administrator by telephone,
email and/or mail (as selected by Admin in its sole discretion). Subject to verification of eligibility and
compliance with these Official Rules, the potential winners will be declared the official winners of the Sweeps. If
any potential winner is a Canadian resident he/she will be required to answer a time-limited skill-testing question
without assistance in the time frame requested, in order to be eligible to receive a prize. If any potential winner
cannot be contacted, fails to answer the skill-testing question correctly (if applicable), fails to sign and return
the Affidavit (defined below) within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as
undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any
reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining
eligible entries. Odds of winning will depend on the total number of eligible entries received.
Privacy: Your use of your Card to make a purchase during the Promo Period and/or your submission of an email
entry
constitutes your consent to participate in this Sweeps and your consent for Sponsor and Administrator to obtain, use
and transfer your name, email, phone number and other information for the purpose of administering this Sweeps,
awarding the prize and to comply with applicable legal requirements. Any information entrant provides to Sponsor or
Admin may be used to communicate with entrant in relation to this Sweeps or on a Sweeps winner’s list.

Parties, each of their respective agents’, successors’ and assigns’ or other designee’s use of winner’s name,
likeness, photograph, voice, statement, opinions, biographical information, prize and/or state/city/province of
residence for advertising and promotional and publicity purposes in any and all media or format, worldwide, in

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. Grand Prize
winner will be required to notify Administrator of prize acceptance by returning an executed and notarized Affidavit
of Eligibility, Liability Release and (where legal) Publicity Release within three (3) days of issuance of
notification or other time period determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion and failure to submit such documents
will result in disqualification. Grand Prize guest will also be required to sign and return a Liability Release and
(where legal) Publicity Release prior to the issuance of travel documents to be eligible to accompany Grand Prize
winner as a guest. Grand Prize winner and guest may also be required to submit to a confidential background check to
confirm eligibility and ensure that trip attendance by such person, or the use of any such person in advertising,
promotion or publicity, will not pose a security threat or bring Released Parties into public disrepute, contempt,
scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavorably on Released Parties as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion,
and, in such event, the prize may be forfeited. Non-compliance with any of the foregoing may result in
disqualification and awarding of prize to an alternate winner, if time permits. If any prize or prize notification
letter is returned as undeliverable or the prize is declined for any reason, winner will be disqualified and, at
Sponsor’s sole discretion and time permitting, an alternate winner may be selected. Should a potential winner decide
to decline his/her prize for any reason whatsoever or not respond to the prize notification by the applicable
response deadline, Sponsor shall have no further obligation to that potential winner and an alternate winner may be
randomly selected from among all remaining eligible 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 agree to be bound by these Official Rules and agree that Released Parties and their 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 entrant will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Released
Parties from and against any liability, loss, injury, or damage of any kind (including attorney’s 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) entrant’s participation/entry into the Sweeps, (ii)
any materials he or she may submit in connection herewith, or (iii) the acceptance, possession, use or misuse of a
prize or participation in any activities associated with the Sweeps or any prize awarded in connection herewith,
including, without limitation, travel to/from/during the Trip and the lodging, activities and events of the Trip;
(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 the 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 modify, suspend, and/or terminate this Sweeps (or portion thereof)
should virus, bugs, non-authorized human 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 winners
via a random drawing from all eligible, non-suspect entries rec’d prior to 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, earthquake, explosion, labor dispute or strike, act of God or
public enemy, communications or equipment failure, utility or service interruptions, riot or civil disturbance,
terrorist threat or activity, war (declared or undeclared), interference with the Sweeps by any party, or any
federal, state, local or provincial 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 modify, suspend or terminate the Sweeps or prize. Sponsor and
Administrator additionally reserve the right, in their sole and absolute discretion: (a) to modify, suspend or
terminate the Sweeps should causes beyond Sponsor’s or Administrator’s control 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 un-sportsmanlike 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, the 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.
Released Parties make no warranty, guaranty or representation of any kind concerning any prize (or any portion
thereof), and disclaim any implied warranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, entrants agree that
the Released Parties: (a) maintain no control over the personnel, equipment or operation of any transportation
company, hotel, manufacturer or other person or entity furnishing services, products or accommodations (“Suppliers”)
as a part of the prizes provided in connection with the Sweeps; and (b) will not be responsible or liable for any
injury, damage, loss, expense, accident, delay, inconvenience or other irregularity that may be caused or
contributed to: (i) by the wrongful, negligent or unauthorized act or omission on the part of the Suppliers or any
of their agents, servants, employees or independent contractors, (ii) by any defect in or failure of any vehicle,
equipment, instrumentality, service or product that is owned, operated, furnished or otherwise used by any of those
Suppliers, (iii) by the wrongful, negligent or unauthorized act or omission on the part of any other person or
entity not an employee of the Released Parties, and (iv) by any cause, condition or event whatsoever beyond the
control of the Released Parties. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute
a waiver of that provision. Except where prohibited, entrant agrees that any and all disputes, claims and causes of
action arising out of, or connected with, the Sweeps or any prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without
resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the appropriate court located in the State of New York. All
issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official
Rules, entrant’s rights and obligations, or the rights and obligations of the Sponsor in connection with the Sweeps,
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
any choice of law or conflict of law rules. The remedy for any claim shall be limited to actual damages, and in no
event shall any party be entitled to recover punitive, exemplary, consequential, or incidental damages, including
attorney’s fees or other such related costs of bringing a claim, or to rescind this agreement or seek injunctive or
any other equitable relief. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Official Rules
is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and
will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein.
Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings are solely for convenience
of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision
hereof. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in
any Sweeps-related materials, and the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail,
govern and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
Any litigation respecting the conduct or organization of a publicity contest may be submitted to the Regie des
alcools, des courses et des jeux for a ruling. Any litigation respecting the awarding of a prize may be submitted to
the Regie only for the purpose of helping the parties reach a settlement.
