No other cash option for, or substitution, assignment or transfer of, any Prize is permitted. Claimed Prizes will be awarded within two to four weeks. Unclaimed Prizes will not be awarded.

    Only the first 25 legitimate searches across all Promoter Websites (as defined in Section 10 below) each day during the Promotional Period will qualify as entries (the "Daily Entry Limit"); any additional searches will not be eligible to win. All days begin at 12:01am CST and end at 11:59 pm CST on the date specified in each Giveaway. Searches for the same word, or for the letters of the alphabet, and other irrelevant search queries and similar schemes, will not be deemed to constitute legitimate searches. You may not enter with multiple identities or use any automated system or other device or artifice to enter or obtain more than the maximum number of qualified entries. If the Sponsor changes the number of qualifying searches per day, or chooses to shorten the Promotion Period, the winner must provide at least one day's prior notice through these Official Rules. You and your entries may be disqualified if you attempt to circumvent these Official Rules or the Terms of Service of this Website.

  8. Limitations of Liability :

    If for any reason an entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, the entrant's sole remedy is another entry in the same or a comparable Sweepstakes (or, if that is not possible for any reason, in a random drawing from among other eligible entries for any or all of the unclaimed prizes offered in a Giveaway). No claimant in any dispute involving the Sponsor or any Promoter shall be entitled to claim or obtain indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential damages. Liability of the Sponsor or any Promoter on a claim is limited to the value of the Prize in question.

  9. Disputes :

    Decisions of the Sponsor's Board of Judges are final. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the email address, used to conduct a surf, will be deemed to be the entrant. Failure by the Sponsor to enforce any provision in these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
