Sponsors and their agents are not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, damaged, incomplete or illegible entries or Internet technical, hardware, software, telephone, or transmission failures of any kind, which may limit a person’s ability to enter the Sweepstakes. Proof of entry, such as a copy of “Thank You” page, does not confirm actual receipt by Sponsors or Emmis. Sponsors and their agents are not responsible for any injury or damage to entrants’ or any other person’s computer related to or resulting from entering or downloading any materials in the Sweepstakes. Sponsors reserve the right to cancel or suspend advertising the Sweepstakes on the Internet should a computer virus, unauthorized intervention or other cause corrupt the integrity or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes.

Sponsors reserve the right to disqualify any entrant found to be disrupting the operation of the Sweepstakes or its web site or to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsors’ failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. If the integrity of the Internet portion of the Sweepstakes is compromised in any manner, Sponsors reserve the right to modify Sweepstakes and randomly select a winner from valid entries received that are unaffected by the problem. Only the advertised number of prizes will be awarded. In the event that production, technical or any other reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be claimed, Sponsors reserve the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, eligible prize claims. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of any online entrant, entrant will be deemed the individual identified on the online entry form. No transfer or assignment of entries is permitted.

All issues and questions concerning these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the entrant and Sponsors in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of New York State, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of New York State or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than New York State.
