unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation
of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made,

law. Failure by the Sponsor to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of
that provision. Sponsor reserves the right to modify or cancel this promotion at any time.

with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
