Choice of Law: All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Rules, or the rights and obligations of an entrant and the Released Parties in connection with the Promotion, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of Washington, USA, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other state's law.
Arbitration: Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of participating in this Promotion, each entrant agrees that: (1) any and all disputes and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Promotion, or any prize awarded, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by final and binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and held at the AAA regional office in King County, Washington; (2) the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings at such arbitration; and (3) judgment upon such arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator's decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The federal or state law that applies to these Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn't apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in King County, Washington. Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between an arbitration provision contained in any Eligible Card terms and conditions, and the terms and conditions of these Rules, these Rules shall prevail, govern and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion.
Miscellaneous: No transfer, assignment, cash redemption, or substitution of a prize (or portion thereof) will be permitted, except by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, due to prize unavailability or other causes otherwise determined solely by Sponsor, and then for a prize (or applicable portion) of equal or greater value. Each potential prize winner may be required to notify Sponsor and Administrator of prize acceptance by returning an executed and notarized Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release and (where legal) Publicity Release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”) within five (5) business days of issuance of notification or other time period determined by Sponsor and the other Released Parties in their sole discretion. If any potential winner fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents within five (5) business days of prize notification, or within another time period determined by Sponsor, or the other Released Parties, in their sole discretion, such potential winner will be automatically disqualified. Potential winners may also be required to submit to a confidential background check (performed by Administrator) to confirm eligibility, or the use of any such person in advertising, promotion or publicity, will not pose a security threat or bring the Released Parties into public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavorably on the Released Parties as determined by Sponsor, or the other Released Parties, in their sole discretion, and, in such event, the prize may be forfeited. Non-compliance with any of the foregoing may result in disqualification and awarding of a prize to an alternate potential winner, if time permits. If any prize or prize notification letter or email is returned as undeliverable or the prize is declined for any reason, the winner will be disqualified and, at Sponsor's sole discretion and time permitting, an alternate potential winner may be selected by random drawing from among all remaining entries. Should a potential winner decide to decline his/her prize for any reason whatsoever or not respond to the prize notification by the applicable response deadline, Sponsor (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the other Released Parties) shall have no further obligation to that potential winner and an alternate potential winner may be randomly selected from among all remaining entries, if time permits. The Released Parties are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in entrant's email account to receive email messages.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and Sponsor's or any other Released Party's waiver of any provision of these Rules shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision. In the event that any provision of these Rules is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein.
