A selected Entrant may be required to provide Sponsor and/or Contest Administrator with proof that the selected Entrant is the authorized account holder of an e-mail address or a Twitter account. The authorized account subscriber is the natural person who is assigned the account by Twitter.

In the event of a dispute regarding who submitted an Entry, the authorized subscriber of the Twitter account at the time of entry will be deemed to be the Entrant and must comply with these Official Rules. If a dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the Entry will be deemed ineligible. No illegible, incomplete, forged, software-generated or other automated Entries will be accepted. Entries made by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any other mechanism, including but not limited to commercial contest subscription notification and/or entering services, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Contest. Sponsor reserves the right without prior notice and at any time (subject only to the approval of the Régie in Quebec), to terminate the Contest, in whole or in part, or cancel, modify, amend, suspend or reinstate the Contest in any way, with no obligation or liability, subject to applicable law, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Contest is technically impaired or corrupted or that fraud or technical problems, failures or malfunctions, viruses, bugs or any other cause or any nature which is beyond the reasonable control of Sponsor have destroyed, severely undermined, or adversely affected the security, integrity, feasibility and/or proper administration of the Contest. In the event Sponsor is prevented from continuing with the Contest as contemplated herein by any event beyond its control, or any federal, provincial or local government law, order, or regulation, or order of any court or jurisdiction, then Sponsor shall have the right (subject only to the approval of the Régie in Quebec) to modify, amend, extend, suspend, or terminate the Contest. If the Contest is terminated before the designated end date due to any non-compliance with the Official Rules, malfunction, or other such event outlined in this Section 11, Sponsor will select winners in a random drawing from all eligible, non-suspect Entries received in the applicable Entry Period as of the date of the event giving rise to the termination. Sponsor will have no liability whatsoever if, for any reason, the Contest is not capable of running as planned or for any loss or damage incurred by any person as a result of participation in the Contest or related to or resulting from any material related to this Contest, or any other matter, occurrence, act or omission arising in respect of the Contest.
