4. Winner Notification: For Clinics selected as potential winners of the Promotion, Armstrong may – in its discretion – either (a) attempt to notify each such Clinic that it may have won a prize in the Promotion by email, mail, or telephone (at Armstrong and Sponsor’s sole discretion) or alternatively (b) send the prize to each selected winning Clinic without further notice or communication. In either case, initial contact or sending of prizes will occur within 4-6 weeks of the drawing.

Winner Documents may require winner to provide its taxpayer identification number. Representative(s) of a winning Clinic may also be required to further communicate with Armstrong to secure additional liability/publicity releases from participants in/users of any prize and/or execution of additional required documentation (including on behalf of the legal owner of the Clinic), before a prize is awarded.

Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification or verification procedures in connection with the selection of any alternative potential winner, if any. Physical prizes, where applicable, will only be shipped to each verified winning Clinic’s physical mailing address in the Territory, except in Sponsor’s sole discretion. If any prize or Promotion-related communication is rejected, faulty, or returned as undeliverable, if a potential winner cannot be reached after a reasonable attempt has been made (as determined by Sponsor or Armstrong in its sole discretion), or if a potential winner does not comply with Sponsor’s, Armstrong’s, or a prize provider’s instructions, that potential winner may be disqualified and an alternative potential winner may be selected or appointed, as applicable. Sponsor will not be obligated to pursue alternative winners more than two (2) alternative winners for any prize for any reason, after which such prize may go unawarded.

No winner will receive the difference in value (if any) between the actual value of a prize as awarded and the ARV stated in these Official Rules. However, each winning Clinic may be issued tax documentation for the ultimate value of the prize as actually awarded. Each winner will be solely responsible for all taxes (federal, state, and local) and other costs and expenses associated with receipt and use of a prize and not specified in these Official Rules as being provided as part of that prize.

Prize details not specifically stated in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Prizes may be issued in digital or physical form, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Use and redemption of prizes is subject to any terms and conditions imposed by the issuer or prize supplier, as applicable. No more than the stated prizes will be awarded. Each prize, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. Entrants waive the right to assert, as a cost of winning any prize, any and all costs of verification and redemption or travel to claim the prize and any liability and publicity which might arise from claiming or seeking to claim said prize.

Sponsor is not responsible for, and will not replace any, lost, mutilated, or stolen prize or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach a recipient because of incorrect or changed contact information. If a winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited, and Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. Sponsor is not responsible for any inability of any winner to accept or use any prize (or portion thereof) for any reason. No transfers, prize substitutions, or cash redemptions will be made, except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute any stated prize or portion thereof with another prize or portion thereof of equal or greater value for any reason, including, without limitation, prize unavailability.

General Rules: By participating in this Promotion (except where prohibited by law), each Clinic grants the Released Parties the right and permission to use its name, trademark(s), and any other information contained in its entry – and each natural person participating on behalf of their Clinic further grants the Released Parties the right and permission to use their name, image, likeness, voice, biographical information, any information contained in their communications with Sponsor or Armstrong (if applicable), and any personal attribute protectable under applicable law – for advertising, trade, and commercial purposes, in any and all media now known or hereafter invented, devised, or discovered, worldwide, including on the Internet, without review, notice, or approval and without further compensation or permission, except where prohibited by law, and each such entity and person releases all Released Parties from any and all liability related thereto. Nothing contained in these Official Rules obligates Sponsor to make use of any of the rights granted herein and any party granting rights hereunder waives any right to inspect or approve any such use.

Sponsor’s decisions will be final in all matters relating to this Promotion, including interpretation of these Official Rules and awarding of the prizes. All Clinics (including individuals employed and/or associated with the Clinic and participating in the Promotion on that Clinic’s behalf), as a condition of participation, agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor. Failure to comply with these Official Rules may result in disqualification from participating in this Promotion. Participants further agree to not damage or cause interruption of or otherwise attempt to undermine the intended functioning of the Promotion and/or prevent others from participating. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void participation of and disqualify any Clinic that Sponsor believes has attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness or proper play of this Promotion (or on behalf of which Clinic personnel or any third party has attempted to do the same). If this Promotion is incapable of running as planned for any reason, including, without limitation, because of tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, human error, or any other cause that corrupts, threatens to corrupt, or adversely affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of the Promotion, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, suspend, or modify the Promotion, in which case the prizes may go unawarded (or may be awarded based on non-suspect participation tallied prior to the cancellation or as otherwise determined and deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor in its sole discretion). Sponsor’s failure to or decision not to enforce any provision in these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. In the event there is an alleged or actual ambiguity, discrepancy, or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Promotion-related materials and/or these Official Rules (including any alleged discrepancy or inconsistency in these Official Rules), it will be resolved by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Clinics waive any right to claim ambiguity in the Promotion or these Official Rules. If Sponsor determines at any time in its sole discretion that any winning or potentially winning Clinic (including any person participating on behalf of or with the aim of benefiting the Clinic, and all other individuals employed and/or associated with the Clinic) is disqualified, ineligible, in violation of these Official Rules, or engaging in behavior that Sponsor, in its discretion, deems (a) obnoxious, inappropriate, threatening, illegal, (b) intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person or party, (c) mislead or defraud any Released Party, or (d) artificially inflate, depress or otherwise manipulate the metrics by which entries/participation in this Promotion are measured, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify that winner or potential winner, even if the disqualified winner or potential winner may have been notified or displayed or announced anywhere or any aspect of the prize distributed or scheduled. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. If any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules will otherwise remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. If any person supplies false information, obtains entries (or other credit/participation) by fraudulent means or is otherwise determined to be in violation of these Official Rules in an attempt to obtain any prize, Sponsor may disqualify that person (and any Clinic on the behalf of which or for the benefit of which that person acted) and seek damages from them (or the Clinic, as applicable) and that person may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Any dispute as to who participated in this Promotion will be resolved by Sponsor in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Caution: any attempt to undermine the legitimate operations of the Promotion may violate criminal and civil laws.
