The Released Parties are not responsible for printing or typographical errors in any Sweepstakes-related materials; for stolen, lost, late, misdirected, damaged, incomplete, illegible entries; or for transactions that are lost, misdirected, fail to enter into the processing system, or are processed, reported, or transmitted late or incorrectly, or are lost for any reason, including, without limitation, computer, telephone, paper transfer, or human error; or for electronic, computer, or telephonic malfunction or error. If, in the Sponsor’s opinion, there is any suspected or actual evidence of electronic or non-electronic tampering with any portion of the Sweepstakes, or if a computer virus, bug, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical difficulties, or failures compromise or corrupt or affect the administration, integrity, security, fairness, or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual who tampers with the entry process and to void any entries submitted fraudulently; to modify or suspend the Sweepstakes; or to terminate the Sweepstakes and conduct a random drawing to award the prizes using all non-suspect entries received as of the termination date. If the Sweepstakes is cancelled, modified, suspended or terminated, notice will be posted on the Web Site. Further, Sponsor is not responsible for any additional expenses, omissions, delays or re-routing resulting from any acts of any government or authority. The winner of the Grand Prize acknowledges that he or she is solely responsible for any actions, claims or liabilities of his or her guest related to any Sweepstakes-related activity, including, without limitation, any actions, claims or liabilities related to the guest's use of the Grand Prize.

All Entrants understand that travel, whether in civilized or remote areas and whether by plane, automobile, boat, raft, or other conveyance, or by foot, on land or water and in the air, contains some inherent element of risk of accident, illness, injury, loss or death, which may be caused by negligence, forces of nature, wild animals or other agencies, known or unknown. All Entrants and winners understand that these risks may be present before, during and after the trip.

SELECTION OF WINNERS: Fifty (50) Runner-Up prizes and one (1) Grand Prize will be awarded in this Sweepstakes. Winners will be selected on or about the 1st day of July, 2008, in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any participant or winner and may refuse to award any prize to a person who is ineligible or has violated any rule, gained unfair advantage in participating in the Sweepstakes, or obtained winner status using fraudulent means.

ODDS: Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received.

PRIZE NOTIFICATION & PUBLICITY: Potential winners will be notified by telephone, e-mail and/or regular mail (in Sponsor's sole discretion) and must meet all eligibility requirements. “Notification” is deemed to have occurred immediately upon sending of an e-mail, placing of the phone call, one (1) day after sending via a delivery service or two (2) days after mailing. Return of a prize or prize notification as undeliverable, or inability of Sponsor to contact a potential winner by telephone or e-mail within seventy-two (72) hours of selection, may result in disqualification of such potential winner, and an alternate winner may be selected by random drawing at Sponsor’s discretion. Winners may be required to complete, sign, notarize and return an affidavit of eligibility/liability release and a publicity release ("Prize Acceptance Document") as detailed below. If these documents are not returned properly executed, or are returned to Sponsor as undeliverable, or if the winner does not otherwise comply with these Officials Rules, the prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. If a winner does not complete and return the Prize Acceptance Document within seven (7) days of Notification or, for the Grand Prize winner, is unable to travel on dates specified by Sponsor, their prize may (in Sponsor’s sole discretion) be forfeited and an alternate winner may (in Sponsor’s sole discretion) be notified. Sponsor will have no liability for any winner Notification that is lost, damaged, intercepted or not timely received by the potential winner for any reason. Parents or legal guardians of winners under the age of majority in their state of residence may be required to also sign the Prize Acceptance Document, in order for the winner to be qualified for the prize. Travel companions may be required to sign a liability and publicity release prior to travel. Sponsor’s obtaining a liability and publicity release from travel companions on Sponsor’s request is a condition precedent to the Grand Prize winner receiving his or her prize. In the event of noncompliance with these Official Rules, or if the winner cannot be contacted using the contact information in his or her entry form within the time requirements set forth above, or if Notification or prize is undeliverable or delayed, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may (in Sponsor’s sole discretion) be notified. If the Grand Prize winner cannot be verified in enough time to meet advance ticketing requirements, the airline portion of the Grand Prize may remain unawarded and no substitution for airfare will be awarded; similarly the event and hotel portion of the Grand Prize may remain unawarded in the event a Grand Prize winner cannot be verified and finalized before the applicable event, and no substitute prize will be awarded.

Sponsor will not replace any lost or stolen tickets, travel vouchers or certificates. If, for whatever reason, the Tony Awards® ceremony is cancelled after the Grand Prize is ticketed, or cancelled during the trip prior to the Tony Awards®, Sponsor’s liability for the Grand Prize is limited only to the travel portion of the Grand Prize. No compensation will be paid in lieu of the cancelled Tony Awards®. Flight schedules are subject to change without notice. Sponsor is not liable for any expenses as a consequence of flight cancellation/delay. The winner of the Grand Prize may be required to provide a credit card at the time of hotel check-in. The winner of the Grand Prize and his or her guest must travel together on the same itinerary, including the same departure date, destination and return date. If, in Sponsor's sole discretion, air travel is not required because Grand Prize winner resides less than Two Hundred (200) miles from New York, ground transportation may be substituted for roundtrip air transportation and the difference in value will not be awarded to the Grand Prize winner. The stated ARV of the prizes is based on available information provided to Sponsor and the value of any prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. The prize winners will be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and for any other fees or costs associated with the prize they receive. The Grand Prize winner must provide Sponsor with a valid taxpayer identification number or social security number before the Grand Prize will be awarded for tax reporting purposes.

The Sponsor will not be responsible for awarding any unawarded prizes, if the Grand Prize winner’s behavior at any time whatsoever causes the event producer to force the Grand Prize winner to leave such event and/or if hotel or transportation vendors refuse service to the Grand Prize winner. Also, the Sponsor will not be responsible for awarding any unawarded portion of the Grand Prize to the Grand Prize winner if, the Grand Prize winner undertakes activities or communicates messages or images or engages in speech publicly or made known publicly that: (a) are sexually explicit, unnecessarily violent or derogatory of any ethnic, racial, gender, religious, professional or age group; (b) are obscene or offensive, or may create public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule; (c) defame or invade publicity rights or privacy of any person, living or deceased, or otherwise infringe upon any third party’s or Sponsor’s personal or intellectual property rights or contain disparaging remarks about other people or companies; (d) are inconsistent with the positive images and/or goodwill to which the Sponsor wishes to associate (which may be determined by the Sponsor, at its sole and absolute discretion); and/or (e) otherwise violate the terms of any of the agreements that the winners have agreed to comply with as an entrant of this Sweepstakes.
