The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for lost, incomplete, damaged, illegible, late, or misdirected Entries, or for errors in mechanical transmission, technical difficulties, or inability to transmit Entries. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the permitted number of Entries by using multiple/different identities or registrations, or to defraud or in any way tamper with any Sweepstakes, will void all of that participant’s Entries, and that participant will be disqualified from participating in the Sweepstakes. Newsday reserves the right to reject any Entry that it believes, in its sole discretion, to be fraudulent, incomplete, or otherwise invalid or non-compliant with this Official Rules. Newsday reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel or modify any Sweepstakes and its Official Rules at any time, including and not limited to cancelling the Sweepstakes not capable of completion as planned for any reason beyond Newsday’s reasonable control, such as infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, force majeure, or technical failures of any sort.

4. PRIZE: For each Sweepstakes, five (5) randomly selected winners will each receive one (1) One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) gift card (the “Prize”). Newsday shall determine, in its sole discretion, the type(s) of gift cards offered as Prizes. The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of each Prize is One Hundred Dollars ($100.00). Prize winners will not receive the difference between the actual Prize value and the ARV, nor will any Prize be replaced if lost or stolen. The Prize is non-refundable, may not be resold under any circumstances, and is subject to the terms and conditions specified thereon (including expiration date, if applicable). Newsday may, in its sole discretion, substitute a prize of equal or greater value. If the Prize is cancelled or invalidated for any reason, no compensation or substitution will be provided, and Sweepstakes Entities will have no further obligations to winners. The Prize is awarded “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied. All Prize details are at Newsday’s sole discretion. The gift cards are subject to separate terms and conditions imposed by the issuer.

DRAWING AND NOTIFICATION: A random drawing from all eligible Entries received will take place for each Sweepstakes approximately one (1) business day after the conclusion of the applicable Sweepstakes Entry Period to select the potential winners. The potential Prize winners will be notified via email approximately one (1) business day after the conclusion of the applicable Sweepstakes Entry Period. Each potential Prize winner may be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (“Affidavit”) and return such Affidavit within forty-eight (48) hours following attempted notification. If any potential winner fails to respond to Newsday within twenty-four (24) hours confirming acceptance of the Prize, or if Newsday does not receive a properly executed Affidavit from him/her within forty-eight (48) hours following attempted notification, or if he/she is found to be ineligible, or if he/she cannot or does not otherwise comply with these Official Rules, or if he/she refuses the Prize, then the Prize will be forfeited by such potential winner, and Newsday will select an alternate winner from the remaining eligible Entries. In no case shall the Sweepstakes Entities or their respective members, officers, directors, employees or agents be liable in any manner where a potential Prize winner has not received notification sent from Newsday or where Newsday fails to receive a response from the potential Prize winner within the required response period. All decisions regarding interpretation of these Official Rules and administration of the Sweepstakes are within Newsday’s sole discretion and are final and binding.
