Unless specifically noted otherwise by Sponsor, these terms and conditions, along with the terms of the Promotion Offer (defined below), shall serve as the official rules for any such Promotion conducted by Sponsor. Sponsor may terminate, extend, suspend or alter any Promotion in its sole discretion, unless prohibited by law. Specific information for a Promotion will be set forth in promotional material by the Sponsor for the Promotion on the Social Media Sites involved in the Promotion at the time of the Promotion (the “Promotion Offer”).
1. ENTRY: No purchase necessary to participate or win. A purchase will not improve one's chance of winning. Void where prohibited.

Entry into any Promotion will only be via the method specified by Sponsor in the Promotion Offer on the Social Media Site. Message and data rates may apply. Unless otherwise specified by Sponsor, you may enter as often as you wish. All entries must include the information requested by Sponsor to be eligible. Only one prize per person, household, email address and/or username will be allowed in any thirty (30) day period. All entries must be received within the time period stated by Sponsor in the Promotion Offer to be eligible to win a prize (the “Promotion Period”).
