A two (2) night stay for two (2) at the luxurious Drake Devonshire hotel ($1000 gift card), VIP Vineyard tour and tasting at Rosehall Run. 

The total approximate retail value of the Prize is one thousand dollars ($1,000.00 CAD).  The Prize Winner is not entitled to any difference between the actual retail value of the Prize, or any component thereof, and the approximate retail value outlined herein.

All incidental costs and expenses associated with the Prize that are not specifically referred to herein, including (without limitation) ground transportation to and from the Resort, travel and medical insurance, additional meals or alcoholic beverages, as well as gratuities and taxes for items that are not specifically listed in the Prize description, incidental and personal expenses, souvenirs and other items or services of a personal nature are not included and are the responsibility of the Prize Winner and his/her guests.  The Prize Winner may be required to present a valid major credit card (in the Prize Winner’s name or that of his/her guests) upon arrival at the Resort in order to cover any expenses incurred above and beyond standard hotel room charges, which expenses are the sole responsibility of the Prize Winner and his/her guests

The Prize Winner and his/her guests must participate in all aspects of the Prize together (i.e. the Prize Winner cannot have different guests for different aspects of the Prize). All travel arrangements, accommodations, scheduled events and other aspects of the Prize itinerary will be arranged by the Contest Sponsors in their sole and absolute discretion.  Once the travel itinerary has been finalized between the Prize Winner and Contest Sponsors, no changes can be made unless initiated or approved by Contest Sponsors.

The Prize Winner and his/her guests must be nineteen (19) years of age or older at the time of Prize execution in order to participate in the Prize. The Prize Winner and his/her guests may not be granted access to any licensed areas affiliated with the Prize, unless they can each show valid identification and proof of legal drinking age, in accordance with the laws in Ontario.

The Prize Winner and his/her guests acknowledge and accept all risk of damages, injury or other loss incidental to any event for duration of the Resort weekend, whether occurring before, during or after any such event, and hereby voluntarily agree to assume the same.  The Contest Sponsors or Prize Suppliers reserve the right to refuse admission and/or to expel from any event and/or any other aspect of the Prize, any person whose conduct is deemed by them to be objectionable. Expulsion from any event cancels the tickets for the offending individual(s) and the individual(s) thereupon forfeit(s) all claims with respect to the tickets.  Participation in the Prize is subject to compliance with all applicable laws, by-laws, regulations and any applicable facility or carrier rules; failure to comply may result in non-admission or expulsion from further participation in the Prize.

The Prize outlined above must be accepted as awarded, without substitution, and is not transferrable, refundable, for resale or, where applicable, convertible to cash. 

The odds of winning the one (1) “Prize” is proportional to the amount of entries received by all “Entry Methods”, depending on the number of eligible “Method of Entry” entries received during the Contest Period.

(5)  WINNER SELECTION:

A random draw will be conducted at the offices of the Contest Sponsor on September 8, 2019, from amongst all eligible Entries received during the Contest Period. The Selected Entrant will be contacted by the Contest Sponsors at the email address or social media handle associated with his/her entry(entries). If a Selected Entrant cannot be contacted or fails to respond within seventy two (72) hours of the first attempt of contact by the Contest Sponsors, he/she will be considered to have forfeited his/her Prize and will be disqualified and another Entrant may be selected, in the sole discretion of the Contest Sponsors from the remaining eligible Entries until such time as contact is made with a Selected Entrant, there are no more eligible Entries, or there is insufficient time to award the Prize, whichever comes first.  In the event that an alternate Entrant is required to be selected, this same Winner Selection process will apply to such alternate Entrant. The Contest Sponsors will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact any Selected Entrant.

(6) CLAIMING YOUR PRIZE

 

To be declared a Prize Winner, the Selected Entrant must answer correctly, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question posed in a format of the Contest Sponsors’ choosing.  The Selected Entrant will be required to sign a Declaration, Release and Waiver Form (the “Release Form”) confirming compliance with the Official Rules, acceptance of the Prize, as awarded, without substitution, and releasing the Released Parties from any liability in connection with the Prize or the Contest.  Each chosen guest of the Selected Entrant will also be required to sign a Release Form. The Selected Entrant (and his/her guests) must return the signed Release Form in order to be granted the Prize.

 

If a Selected Entrant does not meet all of the Contest requirements, fails to correctly answer the mathematical skill-testing question or does not sign and return the Release Form to the Contest Sponsors within the time frame specified, that Selected Entrant will forfeit his/her Prize and the Contest Sponsors shall be entitled, but not obligated, to select another Entrant from the remaining eligible Entries until such time as contact is made with an Entrant or there are no more eligible Entries, whichever comes first. This process may continue until the Prize has been awarded or there is insufficient time to permit the awarding of the Prize. The Contest Sponsors are not responsible, whether as a result of human error or otherwise, for any failure to contact a Selected Entrant.

The Contest Sponsors will contact the Prize Winner following receipt of his/her signed Release Form to arrange for delivery of his/her Prize.
