intent to disrupt or undermine the legitimate operation of the Promotion,
or to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, and Sponsor
and Judge reserve the right to seek damages and other remedies from
any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. No mechanically
reproduced, illegible, incomplete, forged, software generated or other

which it was sent. The authorized account holder shall be the natural
person to whom the applicable email address has been assigned by the
Internet access provider, service provider, or other online organization
responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated

account holder of the e-mail address associated with the winning entry.
If a dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor's satisfaction, the entry
will be deemed ineligible. Sponsor reserves the right to modify, suspend,
extend or terminate the Promotion if it determines, in its sole discretion,
that the Promotion is technically impaired or corrupted or that fraud
or technical problems, failures or malfunctions have destroyed or severely
undermined or impaired the integrity and/or feasibility of the Promotion.

will select winners in a random drawing from all eligible, non-suspect
entries received as of the date of the event giving rise to the termination.
