4. PRIZES: Upon verification of eligibility, serviceability, and compliance with these Official Rules, the winner of each drawing will receive the featured prize identified for that drawing in Section 3, which also states the approximate retail value (“ARV”) of each prize.
The grand prize awarded in the final drawing (the “Grand Prize”) consists of 12 months of altafiber Fioptics Internet at the highest generally available speed tier for which the winner’s submitted address qualifies, up to 3 Gig, plus Whole Home WiFi for 12 months. The Grand Prize excludes applicable taxes and fees attributable to those prize services. TV, phone, Internet add-ons, premium or optional services, and other products or services are excluded. All other featured prizes are “Secondary Prizes.”
Standard installation and activation charges for the Grand Prize services will be waived. Whole Home WiFi equipment is provided for use during the 12-month prize period and remains the property of Sponsor. If the Grand Prize winner is an existing altafiber customer, the Grand Prize will be provided as monthly bill credits equal to the monthly charge for the prize services for 12 months, and any upgrade to the prize speed tier will be made at no charge. At the end of the 12-month prize period, the prize services will end unless the winner affirmatively elects to continue service at Sponsor’s then-current rates; the winner may cancel at any time without an early termination fee, subject to return of any Sponsor-owned equipment. Neither acceptance of the Grand Prize nor any continued purchase of service is required to win. The prize services are tied to the winner’s submitted address. If the winner moves to an address that is not serviceable, cancels the prize services, or fails to comply with the Service Terms, any remaining portion of the prize period will be forfeited and will not be replaced, extended, or redeemed for cash. The ARV of the Grand Prize will vary based on the speed tier for which the winner’s address qualifies; the ARV stated in Section 3 is the maximum ARV, and the winner’s IRS Form 1099 will reflect the actual ARV of the prize services provided.
Entrants may win no more than one Secondary Prize but remain eligible for the Grand Prize after winning a Secondary Prize.
Secondary Prizes are awarded “AS IS.” Neither Sponsor nor Sponsor Affiliates make or offer any warranty or guarantee, either express or implied (including, without limitation, quality, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose) in connection with this Sweepstakes or any Secondary Prize, and any warranty applicable to a Secondary Prize is provided solely by its manufacturer or issuer. No manufacturer or issuer of any Secondary Prize is sponsoring this Sweepstakes. The Grand Prize services will be provided by Sponsor subject to Sponsor’s then-current terms and conditions of service, acceptable use policy, and Privacy Policy applicable to residential altafiber Fioptics Internet and Whole Home WiFi service (the “Service Terms”), which the Grand Prize winner must accept as a condition of receiving the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize services are subject to the same service descriptions, limitations, and disclaimers that apply to Sponsor’s residential customers under the Service Terms, and Sponsor makes no additional warranty or guarantee in connection with the Grand Prize. Prize details and availability are subject to change, in which case a prize of equal value may be substituted at Sponsor’s sole discretion. A winner may waive the right to receive a prize. Prizes consist only of the items listed, are non-assignable, non-transferable, with no cash redemption or substitution except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor will determine all prize details (brand, model, size, etc.) in its sole discretion. Winner may be required to provide his/her valid Social Security Number to Sponsor for tax purposes and/or complete an IRS W-9 form in order to claim a prize. Winners are solely responsible for all federal, state and local taxes on prize value and, as applicable, will be issued an IRS Form 1099 based on the prize value determined by Sponsor. Prizes not won and claimed by eligible winners in accordance with these Official Rules will not be awarded and will remain the property of Sponsor.
Bengals tickets are for the specified game only, are subject to the terms and conditions of the ticket issuer and venue, and will be delivered electronically. Seat locations will be determined by Sponsor. Transportation, parking, lodging, food, beverages, and all other expenses are not included and are the sole responsibility of the winner and guest. The winner’s guest must be 18 years of age or older (or accompanied by the winner if the guest is a minor, and the guest’s parent or legal guardian must sign the release) and must sign a liability and publicity release before tickets are issued. If the game is canceled, postponed, or rescheduled, or is played without spectators, the tickets will be subject to the issuer’s policy, and no substitution or compensation will be provided except at Sponsor’s sole discretion.
5. NOTIFICATION: Potential winners will be notified by email and must respond within 48 hours, except that the potential winner of the Bengals tickets must respond and return all required documents within 24 hours of notification. Eligibility, serviceability, and compliance with these Official Rules are subject to verification. Sponsor may require winners to complete, sign, and return an Acknowledgement of Eligibility/Liability Release/Publicity Release forms and other applicable documents within 48 hours of the date and time listed on the documents. An alternate winner may be selected from among the remaining eligible Entries if a potential winner is ineligible, cannot be contacted, fails to respond within the required timeframe, fails to timely return any required forms, or declines the prize.
A PARTICIPANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL SPONSOR HAS COMPLETED ITS VERIFICATION OF PARTICIPANT’S ELIGIBILITY.
6. MARKETING: Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of a prize constitutes permission, but not the obligation, for Sponsor to use the winner’s name, city and state of residence, likeness, image, photograph (whether still or moving), voice, statements, and biographical data for purposes of advertising and trade, in any medium, without further notice, approval, or compensation. Submission of contact information in connection with this Sweepstakes (whether or not required), including, without limitation, mailing address, phone number, email address, etc. during entry constitutes permission for Sponsor to use entrant’s personal information for purposes of administration of the Sweepstakes. Entrants may, but are not required to, opt in to receive promotional communications from Sponsor by checking a separate, unchecked box on the entry form; opting in is not a condition of entry and will not increase an entrant’s chances of winning. Sponsor will not send marketing text messages unless the entrant has separately provided the consent required by applicable law.
