the prizes, or for problems of any kind whether mechanical, human or electronic. Receipt of entries will

operation of the Sweepstakes or any Sponsor web sites or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules
or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Sponsor may prohibit an entrant
from participating in the Sweepstakes or winning a prize if, in its sole discretion, it determines that said
entrant is attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes by cheating, hacking,
deception, or other unfair playing practices (including the use of automated quick entry programs) or
intending to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other entrants or Sponsor representatives. Any
attempt by any person to deliberately damage Sponsor’s Page or any website or undermine the
legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an
attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a
waiver of that provision.

associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes; (b) technical failures of any kind, including without

use or misuse of any prize. If for any reason an entrant's entry is confirmed to have been erroneously
deleted, lost or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the
Sweepstakes. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event that production,
technical, seeding, programming or any other reason causes more than the stated number of prizes as
set forth in these Official Rules to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only
the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, unawarded, eligible prize claims.
10. Disputes: Except where prohibited, entrant agrees that: (a) any and all disputes, claims and causes

entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Missouri, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law rules (whether of the State of Missouri or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the
