other methods will void that entrant’s entries and will result in

Entrant must have an Instagram
account. Entrants may create an Instagram account at no cost by logging on to
http://instagram.com. Creation of an Instagram account requires entrant to
agree to Instagram’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, available at http://instagram.com/about/legal/terms/ and http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/, respectively. Due to the way Instagram operate its
services, entries from Instagram users with "protected" accounts
(i.e., entrant has set his/her account so that only people the entrant has
approved can view his or her updates) may not be received. This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored,
endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram.
Winning the prize is contingent upon
fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. All entries become the sole and
exclusive property of the Sponsor and receipt of entries will not be
acknowledged or returned.

comply with these Official Rules, or if the potential prize winner cannot
accept the prize as stated, or if Sponsor, in its sole discretion, deems the
potential winner ineligible to receive the prize for any reason, the
corresponding prize will be forfeited in its entirety. Sponsor may choose to
award the prize (time permitting) to an alternate winner in a random drawing
from among the remaining eligible entries received. Administrator and Sponsor

otherwise relating to or in connection with the Sweepstakes, including, without
limitation, errors or difficulties which may occur in connection with the
administration of the Sweepstakes, the processing of entries or prize claims,
the announcement of the prize or in any Sweepstakes-related materials. Released
Parties are not responsible for injury or damage to participants’ or to any
other person’s computer related to or resulting from participating in this
Sweepstakes or downloading materials from or use of the website. Administrator
reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes, or any
part of it, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond
Administrator’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning
of the Sweepstakes, as determined by Administrator in its sole discretion.
Administrator reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any
individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of
the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or any
other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by
any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the
Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an
attempt be made, Administrator reserves the right to seek damages from any such
person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Administrator’s failure to
enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that
provision.
Neither Sponsor nor Administrator

all such warranties, representations or guarantees, including, without
limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose.

the disqualification of the individual utilizing the same. In the event of a
dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the Instagram account
used to submit the entry will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized
account holder” is the natural person who is assigned to the applicable
Instagram account by Instagram. Each potential winner may be required to show
proof of being the authorized account holder of the Instagram account
associated with the entry.
11. Limitations of Liability
The Released Parties are not
responsible for: (a) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by

including, but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions or disconnections in

participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or 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, provided that if it is not possible to award
another entry due to discontinuance of the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, for
any reason, Sponsor, at its discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from
among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or
all of the prizes offered herein. No more than the stated number of prizes will
be awarded. In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or
any other reasons cause 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.
If any provision of
these Official Rules or any word, phrase, clause, sentence, or other portion
thereof should be held unenforceable or invalid for any reason, then that
provision or portion thereof shall be modified or deleted in such manner as to
render the remaining provisions of these Official Rules valid and enforceable.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules
will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. No
participant shall have the right to modify or amend these Official Rules.
Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not
constitute a waiver of that provision and such provision shall remain in full
force and effect. In the event of any conflict with any Sweepstakes details
contained in these Official Rules and Sweepstakes details contained in any
promotional materials (including but not limited to point of sale, television
and print advertising, promotional packaging and other promotional media), the
details of the Sweepstakes as set forth in these Official Rules shall prevail.
12. Choice of Law and Disputes

interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, participant’s rights
and obligations, or the rights and obligations of Sponsor in connection with
the Sweepstakes shall be governed by laws of the State of Connecticut, without
giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of laws principles.
Entrants agree that: (a) any and all
disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this
Sweepstakes, or any prizes awarded, shall be resolved individually, without
resort to any form of class action; (b) any and all claims, judgments and
