Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.

Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void the entry of any entrant who Sponsor believes has attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of this Contest. Sponsor’s failure or decision not to enforce any provision in these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision.

No Released Party is responsible or will have any liability for any purported Entry Post that is removed from any of the Social-Media Platforms for any reason at any time, including removal by a Social-Media Platform of purported Entry Posts in response to such content being “flagged” or reported as inappropriate.
