Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of plays/entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's plays/entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.

In the event of a dispute as to any registration or play, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the registrant or player.

Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
5. Sweepstakes/Instant Win Game: Administrator is an independent judging organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Promotion and the selection of potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. Sweepstakes: Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winner, from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period, on or around March 24, 2008. Instant Win Game: Sponsor will select twenty (20) winning crunched word combinations, one (1) each day, during the Submission Phase. Sponsor will select a crunched word combination based on the words available in Cruncher. If you are the first player to crunch the day's winning crunched word combination, you will be a potential instant winner of the prize indicated.
6. All potential WINNERS are subject to verification by Sponsor or administrator, whose decisions are final AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROMOTION. An entrant is not a winner of any prize, even if the INSTANT WIN GAME or sweepstakes SHOULD so indicate, unless and until entrant’s eligibility, AND the potential INSTANT WIN GAME Winner and/or sweepstakes winner have been verified and entrant has been notified that verification is complete. Sponsor will not accept screen shots or other evidence of winning in lieu of its validation process. Any play that occurs after the system has failed for any reason is deemed a defective play and is void and will not be honored.
7. Verification of Potential Winners: Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. The potential Sweepstakes winner will be notified by email, telephone, or registered mail after the date of random drawing. The potential Grand Prize winner (parent/legal guardian if winner is a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to sign and return to Administrator, within ten (10) days of the date notice is sent, an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release ("Affidavit") in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, or fails to sign and return the Affidavit within the required time period (if applicable), he/she forfeits prize. In the event that a potential winner of any prize is disqualified for any reason or a daily Instant Win Game Prize is not awarded on the day indicated, Administrator will award the applicable prize to an alternate potential winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries received during the Submission Phase (if for Instant Win Game Prize) or received during the Promotion Period (if for Sweepstakes Prize). There will be three (3) alternate drawings, after which the applicable prize will not be awarded. Prizes will be fulfilled eight (8) to ten (10) weeks after the conclusion of the Promotion.
