To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the confirmed winner understands and acknowledges that he or she may not seek reimbursement or pursue any legal or equitable remedy from either the Sponsor or any of the other Released Parties should his/her Prize fail to be fit for its purpose or is in any way unsatisfactory. For greater certainty and the avoidance of any doubt, by accepting the Prize, the confirmed winner agrees to waive all recourse against the Sponsor and all of the other Released Parties if his/her Prize or a component thereof does not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part.

8. PRIZE WINNER SELECTION PROCESS:

Monthly Draws: At the end of each Entry Period on the corresponding Monthly Draw Date, all valid Entries received in connection with that Entry Period will be entered into a random draw (each, a “Monthly Draw“), and ten percent (10%) of the total number of valid Entries received for that Entry Period (as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion) will be randomly selected and will be entered into the Prize Draw (each, a “Prize Draw Entry“). All Entries not selected in each Monthly Draw (i) will not be entered into the Prize Draw; and (ii) will not carry over into the next Entry Period. The odds of an entrant’s Entry being selected as a Prize Draw Entry will depend on the number of Entries entered into the applicable Monthly Draw.

Prize Draw: On June 10, 2024 (the “Prize Draw Date“) in Brantford, Ontario at 12:00 p.m. ET, one (1) eligible entrant will be selected by random draw from among all eligible Prize Draw Entries (the “Prize Draw“). The odds of an entrant’s Prize Draw Entry being selected in the Prize Draw (and therefore the entrant being selected as the potential Prize winner) depend on the number of eligible Prize Draw Entries entered into the Prize Draw in accordance with these Rules.

9. POTENTIAL WINNER NOTIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION:

The Sponsor or its designated representative will make a minimum of three (3) attempts to contact the potential winner within five (5) business days of the Prize Draw Date.
