4) One (1) Grand Prize winner and five (5) Prize winners will be randomly selected by the Sponsor on the dates noted below from among all eligible entries received by 12:00 am EST on August 31, 2014, based on the judges’ review of all eligible entries and their selection of entries based on the judging criteria set forth below. The potential winner will be selected and announced on Sponsor’s blog located at soxfords.com/blogs/news and Sponsor’s social media profiles on September 1, 2014.

 

By participating, entrants agree to be bound by the Rules and the decisions of the judges, which shall be final and binding in all respects.

 

The Sponsor reserves the right to require the potential winners to sign and deliver to Sponsor’s satisfaction a waiver, release and confirmation of eligibility under and compliance with these Rules. The Sponsor or its designee will attempt to contact the potential winners by email and/or posting the potential winners’ name on Sponsor’s blog located at www.soxfords.com for at least a two (2) day period from the date Sponsor first emails or posts the potential winner’s name on its blog and Pinterest. If any potential winners cannot be contacted after two (2) days from the date Sponsor first emails or posts the potential winners’ names on its blog located at www.soxfords.com or if a Prize notification is returned or reported as undeliverable, or if any potential winners (whether or not contacted) is deemed to be ineligible or disqualified (which shall be in the Sponsor’s sole discretion), or if any potential winner(s) fail to, is unable to or is unwilling to comply with these Rules, or if any potential winner(s) fails to, is unable to or is unwilling within three (3) days to sign and deliver to Sponsor’s satisfaction a waiver, release and confirmation of eligibility under and compliance with these Rules, then the potential winner(s) forfeits all rights to win the Promotion or receive the Grand Price or any Prize and will be deemed disqualified. In such case another potential winner(s) shall be selected for the Grand Prize or any Prize at issue based upon the judging criteria set forth above. This process may be repeated until the Grand Prize or any other Prize has been awarded and delivered, upon which event any potential winners will be declared the winners of the Promotion. All findings, determinations and decisions of the Sponsor and/or the judges may be made in the Sponsor’s and/or the judges’ sole discretion and are final and binding in all matters relating to this Promotion and in all respects.
