Sponsor reserves the right to contact all Sweepstakes entrants using the contact information provided in the Entry Form in connection with the Sweepstakes entry. The official record(s) of entries will remain the property of the Sponsor. If a printing, programming, or other error leads to more prize claims than there are prizes provided for in the Official Rules, the prize will be awarded in a random drawing from among all eligible prize claims received at each prize tier.
Prize. One (1) winner will have a chance to ride in the Battle of Flowers Parade with three (3) of their chosen guests on a private float created by the Battle of Flowers Association on Friday, April 28, 2023. The winner’s chosen guests must be a minimum of 12 years of age or older at the time of the parade, and all parade participants will need to be dressed in the royalty theme. The parade will happen rain or shine. The consumption of food and use of a cell phone on the parade float is prohibited. The winner and their chosen guests will need to provide their own transportation to and from the scheduled dress rehearsal and the Battle of Flowers Parade. Parade participants are also required to bring a water bottle with them to the parade. The winner will also receive a $1,000 credit to the Fiesta and party store in San Antonio called Amols’. Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of prize: $1,000. Unless otherwise stated, subject to winner verification and compliance with these Official Rules, all prizes will be available for pick up at the office of the Sponsor/Administrators (address provided below). Sponsor and Co-Sponsor are not responsible for loss, delay, or damage in shipping. There will be no substitution, transfer, or cash equivalent for prizes, except at the sole discretion of the Sponsor, which may substitute prizes of comparable value. Limit one prize per person and per household. Payments of all federal, state, and local taxes related to the prize award are solely the winner’s responsibility. Prizes may not be sold, bartered, or auctioned. Prize is awarded “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied. All properly claimed prizes will be awarded provided a sufficient number of eligible entries are received, but in no event will Sponsor award more prizes than are provided for in the Official Rules. Unclaimed prizes will not be awarded. For tax purposes, the winner of a prize with an ARV of at least $600 will be required to complete and submit IRS Form W-9 to the Sponsor accurately, and Sponsor will arrange to issue an IRS Form 1099 MISC to the winner reflecting the value of the prize.
Disclaimer and Representations. Each winner assumes all liability for any injuries or damages caused or claimed to be caused by the winner’s participation in the Sweepstakes and/or the acceptance and/or use of any prize and releases the Sponsor and Co-Sponsor, and their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and all their officers, directors, agents, and employees (collectively, “Releasees”), from any such liability. Releasees are not responsible for: the failure of any entry to be received by the Sponsor because of electronic device errors or failures of any kind, internet disruption, telecommunications, network, electronic, phone, or mobile service outages, delays, busy signals, or any equipment malfunctions or other technical difficulties that may prevent the Sponsor from receiving any entry submission; entries that are illegible, unintelligible, incomplete, stolen, misdirected, garbled, delayed by computer transmissions, lost, late or damaged; any injury or damage to the entrant’s or any other person’s electronic device related to or resulting from participation or accessing or downloading any materials related to the Sweepstakes; or any human errors, any inaccurate transcription of entry information, errors in any promotional or marketing materials or errors in these Official Rules. Standard message and data rates may apply if you choose to enter using your mobile phone.
Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any individual from participation in the Sweepstakes if Sponsor concludes, in its sole discretion, that such person: (a) has attempted to tamper with the entry process or other operation of the Sweepstakes; (b) has failed to comply with or has attempted to circumvent these Official Rules; (c) has committed fraud or attempted to undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes; or (d) has acted toward Sponsor, any other entity affiliated with the Sweepstakes, or any other entrant in an unfair, inequitable, threatening, disrupting, or harassing manner. If a dispute arises regarding compliance with these Official Rules, Sponsor may consider, in its sole discretion, data reasonably available to Sponsor through information technology systems in Sponsor’s control, but Sponsor will not be obligated to consider any data or other information collected from any other source. Any failure by the Sponsor to enforce any of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of such Official Rules. If there is a conflict between any term of these Official Rules and any marketing or entry materials used in connection with the Sweepstakes, the terms of these Official Rules will govern.
Sponsor also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify these Official Rules for clarification purposes without materially affecting the terms and conditions of the Sweepstakes. Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, terminate or modify the Sweepstakes if an insufficient number of entries are received or if the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned, including, without limitation, as a result of infection by computer viruses, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, or technical failures of any sort, or for any reason beyond Sponsor’s control. If, due to circumstances beyond the control of the Sponsor, any event related to the Sweepstakes or prize is delayed, rescheduled, postponed, canceled, or has a change of venue, the Sponsor reserves the right but is not obligated to cancel or modify the Sweepstakes. Notice of the Sweepstakes cancellation or modification will be published on Sponsor’s website. If cancellation occurs before the Sponsor’s receipt of any entries, the Sponsor will not be obligated to award the prize. If cancellation occurs after the Sponsor’s receipt of entries, the winner will be selected by random drawing from among all eligible, non-suspect entries received prior to cancellation, provided Sponsor is able to do so.
Entry constitutes permission (except where prohibited by law) to use the winner’s name, home city, home state, likeness, and/or voice for commercial purposes, including advertising, promotion, and publicity, with no additional compensation. The winner’s name and city of residence may be posted online and disclosed to those who promptly request a winners list.
