If a potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to submit the Declaration of Compliance within the required time period, or the Prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits the Prize. If the potential winner is at least 18 but still considered a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, Sponsor reserves the right to award the Prize in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian, who will be required to sign the Declaration of Compliance on the potential winners behalf and fulfill any other requirements imposed by the Official Rules or applicable law.
