6. Prizes: TWO (2) GRAND PRIZES (ONE (1) AWARDED
PER ENTRY PERIOD): One (1) 24-karat gold plated Project Scorpio Edition
Xbox One X. Approximate Retail Value: $1500 USD (or approximately £1118
or $1944 CAD). Actual value of electronic prizes is subject
to price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things,
any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these
Official Rules and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed. Actual value may also vary based on exchange
rates at the time when prize is fulfilled.
For
all Prizes: Prizes are
non-transferable and no substitution will be made except as provided herein at
the Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize
for one of equal or greater value if the designated prize should become
unavailable for any reason. Odds
of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received during the
applicable Entry Period.
7. Tax: If a winner is not a resident of the
United States, Sponsor will gross up the prize value in an amount to satisfy
the 30% withholding requirement. The
withholding amount will be submitted to the US taxing authority IRS (the United
States tax agency) as required by law and winner will receive a U.S tax form
1042 from the Administrator reflecting the total value of the prize, including
the gross up amount and the withholding amount submitted to the IRS will be
noted separately. Whether or not a resident of the United States, winner is
responsible for all taxes and fees associated with prize receipt and/or
use.
8. Publicity:
Participation in the Prize Draw constitutes each winner's consent to Sponsor's use
of winner's name, Xbox profile information, hometown, and city/country for one
year after winner confirmation for promotional purposes in any media without
further payment or consideration.
9. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel,
suspend and/or modify the Prize Draw, or any part of it, if any fraud,
technical failures, human error or any other factor independent from the
Sponsor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Prize Draw, as
determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event with regard to the Prize Draw, Sponsor,
in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all
eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all of
the prizes offered herein. Sponsor
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it
finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Prize Draw
or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this or any other
promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately
undermine the legitimate operation of the Prize Draw may be a violation of
criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves
the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted
by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any
term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
10. Release: Winners agree to release and hold
harmless Sponsor, Administrator, and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates,
suppliers, distributors, advertising/promotion agencies, and prize suppliers,
and each of their respective parent companies and each such company’s officers,
directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and
against any claim or cause of action, including, but not limited to, personal
injury, death, or damage to or loss of property, arising out of participation
in the Prize Draw or receipt or use or
misuse of any prize.
11. Limitations
of Liability: The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any
incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, printing
errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in
the Prize Draw; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited
to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines, or network
hardware, or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the
entry process or the Prize Draw; (4) technical or human error which may occur
in the administration of the Prize Draw or the processing of entries; or (5)
any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or
indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Prize Draw,
or receipt, or use of any prize or while traveling to or from any prize-related
activity. If for any reason an entrant's
entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise
destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the Prize
Draw, if it is possible. No more than the stated number of prizes will be
awarded. In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming, or any
other reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these
Official Rules to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to
award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all
legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.
12. Disputes/Governing Law: Except where prohibited, entrant agrees
that: (1) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or
connected with this Prize Draw or any prize awarded shall be resolved
individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Southern
Division) or the appropriate Michigan State Court located in Oakland County,
Michigan, U.S.A.; (2) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited
to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with
entering this Prize Draw, but in no event attorneys’ fees; and (3) under no
circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and entrant
hereby waives all rights to claim, indirect, punitive, incidental and
consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual
out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or
otherwise increased. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the
construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official
Rules, or the rights and obligations of the entrant and Sponsor in connection
with the Prize Draw, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict of law rules (whether of the State of Michigan or any other
jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Michigan.
For entrants in the European Union, the above choice of law does not
have the result in of depriving the consumer entrant of the protection afforded
to him/her under mandatory statutory provisions, which cannot be waived.
13.
Declaration of Consent to Collection, Use and Transfer of Personal
Information: Entrants
authorize the transfer of their personal data to Sponsor and Administrator for
the purposes of administration of this Sweepstakes. Personal data
provided to enter this Sweepstakes will be used by Microsoft and/or its agents

and operation of this Sweepstakes and in accordance with the Microsoft
Privacy Statement. The data controller is the Sponsor.
