Each selected entrant will also be required to sign a Declaration and Release Form (the “Release Form”) (or, if the selected entrant(s) is under the age of majority in his/her province of residence, have his/her parent or legal guardian sign such Release Form on his/her behalf) confirming compliance with the Official Rules, acceptance of the Prize as awarded, without substitution, and releasing the Sponsor, the Contest Group, the independent contest organization and each of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliated and related companies, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any liability in connection with any Prize or the Contest.
Each selected entrant must return a signed Release Form within thirty (30) days of receipt or he/she will be disqualified from receiving the Prize and another entrant will be selected from the remaining eligible entrants until such time as a winner is chosen or there are no more eligible entrants, whichever comes first.
