ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of winning the Sweepstakes Grand Prize or any Secondary Prize
depends on the total number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period. The odds of
winning an Early Bird Prize depends on the total number of eligible entries received during the Early Bird
Entry Period. There is no limit to the number of entries the Sponsor may receive.
SELECTION OF WINNER: On March 25, 2022 at 3 p.m. ET (the "Drawing Date"), Sponsor will
select the potential winners of each Prize (each a "Potential Winner") in accordance with these Official
Rules. The Potential Winner will be selected by random drawing using a random number generator algorithm
from all eligible entries received by the Sponsor during the Sweepstakes Entry Period. The Potential Winner
will be notified by email and/or by telephone shortly after the Drawing Date, using the email address or
telephone number provided with the selected entry, and will be conditionally awarded the Sweepstakes Grand
Prize subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms and conditions of these Official
Rules. If a Potential Winner does not respond within one (1) week after the first notification attempt, or
if the prize notification is returned as undeliverable, or if the Potential Winner fails to provide the
necessary information to confirm the Potential Winner's identity and eligibility to receive the Sweepstakes
Grand Prize, such Potential Winner may be disqualified and the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, select
an alternate Potential Winner to be selected by a random drawing from among the remaining eligible entries.
The notification will include instructions for how to contact the Sponsor to provide name, address and other
information that may be required to complete validation of eligibility and delivery of the Sweepstakes Grand
Prize. No liability is assumed for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a
Potential Winner for any reason. In the event that a Potential Winner is disqualified for any reason, the
Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, award the Sweepstakes Grand Prize to an alternate Potential Winner who
will be selected by a random drawing from among the remaining eligible entries. The selected Potential
Winner must execute all consents as provided by applicable law.
VERIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNER: Each Potential Winner is subject to verification by the
Sponsor. Sponsor's decisions are final and binding in all matter relating to the administration, operation,
selection of the Potential Winner, and all other matters related to the Sweepstakes. An entrant is not a
winner of any prize unless and until the entrant's eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules has
been verified by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, and the entrant has been notified that verification is
complete. In order to receive the Prize, the Potential Winner will be required to correctly answer, without
assistance of any kind, whether mechanical, electronic or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical
skill-testing question to be administered by phone or email by the Sponsor's designated agent at a mutually
agreeable time. The Potential Winner may be required to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility,
Release of Liability and/or Publicity Release in the form(s) provided by Sponsor or Sponsor's Attorneys
(collectively, the "Affidavit") by the date specified by Sponsor, or such Potential Winner will be
disqualified and an alternate Potential Winner may be selected. In the event that (a) Potential Winner
cannot be reached within one (1) week of initial notification from Sponsor, or for whatever reason after a
reasonable effort has been exerted, or the Potential Winner notification or Affidavit is returned as
unclaimed or undeliverable; (b) Potential Winner declines or cannot accept, receive or use the Sweepstakes
Grand Prize for any reason; (c) Potential Winner is found to be ineligible to enter the Sweepstakes or
receive the Sweepstakes Grand Prize; (d) Potential Winner fails to correctly answer the skill-testing
question; (e) Potential Winner did not, cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules; or (f)
Potential Winner fails to fulfill the Affidavit-related obligations, then the Potential Winner shall be
disqualified from the Sweepstakes and an alternate Potential Winner may be randomly selected, at Sponsor's
sole discretion, from among the remaining eligible entries received. Sponsor reserves the right to modify
the notification and Affidavit procedures in connection with the selection of an alternate Potential Winner,
if any. A Potential Winner will be declared the Sweepstakes Winner when all of the conditions of these
Official Rules are fulfilled to the satisfaction of Sponsor, in its sole discretion. In the event of a
dispute as to the identity of the entrant, any online entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized
account holder of the e-mail account provided to the Sponsor at the time of entry, provided such account
holder still meets the eligibility requirements for the Sweepstakes. The authorized account holder shall be
the natural person to whom the applicable email address has been assigned by the Internet access provider,
service provider, or other online organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain
associated with the submitted e-mail address.
TAXES: Except as expressly provided in these Official Rules, any taxes which are payable
on, or connected with, the receipt of the Sweepstakes Grand Prize, any Secondary Prize or any Early Bird
Prize, are solely the responsibility of the winner thereof and must be paid by the winner in accordance with
applicable federal, provincial and/or municipal tax laws. If you are a winner, it is important that you
determine what federal and/or provincial taxes you must pay. Winners are encouraged to consult with an
accountant or tax preparer to make that determination.
Nothing shall be construed such that either Sponsor, or any of their charitable partners, licensors and
suppliers, and each of their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, partners, and advertising and
promotion agencies, and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives,
shareholders, members, consultants and agents, is in any way liable for any tax liability that may be

extent allowed by applicable law to: (a) comply with and be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions

and no substitution will be provided except at the Sponsor's sole discretion. The Sweepstakes Winner
acknowledges that all prizes are awarded "as-is" and the Sponsor expressly disclaims any warranties, express
or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular

awarding, acceptance, possession, use, misuse, loss and/or misdirection of any prize and/or resulting from

GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY; WAIVER: The Sweepstakes and these Official Rules shall be
subject to and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds
any provision of these Official Rules, or their application to a particular person or circumstances, is
invalid or unenforceable to any extent, then the remainder of these Official Rules, and the application of
all of these Official Rules to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected by that determination,
and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The failure of Sponsor to enforce at
any time any provision of the Official Rules shall not be considered a waiver of such provision or any other
provision and shall not deprive Sponsor of the right thereafter to enforce such provision or any other
provision.
MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER: Any claim, other than a claim by
Sponsor, that is not resolved informally must be resolved in accordance with the below arbitration
provisions. Unless prohibited by federal law, each entrant, including, without limitation, any Potential
Winner or Sweepstakes Winner, agrees to arbitrate any and all claims and disputes relating in any way to
such entry or the selection of a Potential Winner or Sweepstakes Winner, or delivery or awarding of the
Sweepstakes Grand Prize or any other prize ("Arbitration Claims"), except for Arbitration Claims concerning
the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision, through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.
This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Ontario Arbitration Act, 1991.
In any Arbitration Claim to be resolved by arbitration, neither the entrant nor Sponsor will be able to have
a court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that entrant and
Sponsor would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the
right to appeal. Entrants waive the right to a court or jury trial. All disputes shall be arbitrated on an
individual basis, and not as a class action, representative action, class arbitration or any similar
proceeding. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties. The arbitrator's authority
is limited to entrant and Sponsor alone, unless otherwise specifically stated herein. No arbitration
decision will have any preclusive effect as to non-parties. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and
binding. The parties agree that this arbitration provision extends to any other parties involved in any
Arbitration Claims, including, but not limited to, the Released Parties. This arbitration provision shall
take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator in the event of any conflict.
The cost of the arbitration shall be shared equally by Sponsor and entrant, but Sponsor and entrant shall
bear their own costs and attorney's fees associated with their participation in the arbitration.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against
class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire arbitration provision shall
be void. If any portion of this arbitration provision other than the class action waiver and prohibition
against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions
of this arbitration provision.
Prior to initiating an arbitration proceeding under this provision, entrant shall give Sponsor written
notice of the Arbitration Claim (a "Claim Notice") and a reasonable opportunity, not less than thirty (30)
