CONTEST ENTRY

All entries must be posted through Itchyfeet Online Travel contest entry form provided. 1 Entry per person or e-mail address and only 1 entry will count. No responsibility is assumed by Site Providers for lost, late, misdirected, or illegible entries or for any computer, online, telephone or technical malfunctions that may occur. No submissions will be accepted after the posted deadline for any reason. The sole determinant of time for the purposes of a contest will be the contest server machine(s). Contestants entering picks close to the posted deadline do so with this information in mind. All entries become the property of Site Providers and will not be returned to contest entrant. Site Provider reserves the right to terminate or modify the terms of a contest without prior notice. By entering, entrants agree to abide by the general and specific contest rules and the decisions of the independent contest organization, which are final.

WINNER NOTIFICATION

Winners will be notified by email and/or phone within 14 days of determination. If a winner is unreachable after 7 days, or if that winner is unavailable for prize fulfillment, an alternate winner will be selected according to the rules from all remaining eligible entries received. Potential winners must execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility/Prize Acceptance Form/Release of Liability within 7 days of notification. Before being declared a winner this form must be validated. Noncompliance within this time period may result in disqualification and an alternate winner will be selected. If an eligible winner cannot be found for a prize, that prize will not be awarded. Prizes take two to four weeks to deliver from the time we receive all fully completed forms from the winner.

PRIZE SUBSTITUTION

All prizes must be accepted as awarded. Prizes are not transferable and not convertible to cash. No substitution of prizes is permitted except by Site Providers. Site Providers reserve the right to substitute any prize with another prize of equal or greater value.

ELIGIBILITY

Each contest is open to legal residents of the United States (excluding Florida) and Canada (excluding Quebec), and any nation where the entry of the contest is not prohibited by law. Contest void where prohibited by law. Contestants residing in areas where a contest is void may participate in the contest, but will be ineligible to win prizes. Employees of Site Providers and/or their affiliates, licensees, their retailers/distributors, prize suppliers, advertising, promotion and production agencies and members of their immediate families or those with whom they are domiciled are not eligible to win prizes. Selected Canadian entrants must first correctly answer a mathematical skill testing question in order to claim a prize. All applicable taxes are the sole responsibility of the prize winner. Prize winners are not responsible for shipping charges.

USE OF WINNER INFORMATION

All prize winners hereby grant permission to Site Providers and their advertising and promotional agencies to use winners' names and likenesses for advertising and promotional purposes without compensation unless prohibited by law.
