The ARV of each Grand Prize is $5,900 CAD based on the Montreal, QC departure example. If a Grand Prize winner lives within two hundred fifty (250) km of the destination city, a car rental in the mid-size category may be provided in exchange for airfare. The actual retail value may vary depending on the point of departure city, and should the actual retail value of the Grand Prize be less than $5,900 CAD, the winner will not receive the difference in cash or otherwise.

Costs of everything not stated above as included in the Grand Prize are the responsibility of the Grand Prize winner, and without limiting the generality of this statement, the following costs are the responsibility of the Grand Prize winner: transportation between the winner's residence to the departure airport, all ground transportation, gratuities, health insurance, travel insurance, excursions, baggage fees, meals, beverages, in-room charges, items of a personal nature. Lost or stolen tickets and travel vouchers will not be replaced. It is strongly recommended that the Grand Prize winner and their guests purchase medical, accident and baggage insurance. The Contest Group is not responsible in this respect.

The Grand Prize winner may be required to provide a valid credit card upon check-in at the hotel. The Grand Prize winner and their guests must have all necessary travel documents, including passports and identification, permit travel, or the Grand Prize may be forfeited. It is recommended that the Grand Prize winner and their traveling guests obtain sufficient insurance prior to departure.

The Grand Prize must be accepted as awarded and is not transferable or convertible to cash. No substitutions except at Sponsor’s option. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to substitute the Grand Prize or a component thereof with a prize of equal or greater value, including, without limitation, but at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion, a cash award. The Grand Prize is subject to any travel advisories that may be issued by the government of Canada.

The following general conditions apply to the Grand Prize: (i) winner and travel guests must travel on same itinerary and on the dates selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion; (ii) if the winner does not utilize any aspects of the trip, the trip and/or those aspects not utilized will be forfeited in their entirety and nothing will be substituted in their place; (iii) the Sponsor and/or its representatives reserve the right at any time to place reasonable restrictions on the availability or use of the Grand Prize or any aspect of the Grand Prize; (iv) travel arrangements may only be made through the Sponsor or its agents, travel at a particular time is subject to availability and once booked the trip dates cannot be changed; (v) by accepting the Grand Prize, the winner agrees to waive all recourse against the Released Parties (as defined below) and agree that the Released Parties shall have no liability and will be released and held harmless from any claim, action, liability, loss, injury or damage, including, without limitation, personal injury or death to winner, his/her travel guests or any third party or damage to personal or real property due in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any reason, including the acceptance, possession, use or misuse of the Grand Prize (including travel related thereto) and/or participation in this Contest, or if any part of the trip or any services that form part of the Grand Prize do not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part; (vi) the winner’s traveling guests, or in the case of a minor, their parent or legal guardian, must sign and return to the Sponsor a release form indicating that they waive all recourse against the Released Parties relating to their participation in the Grand Prize within the time-frame indicated by the Sponsor.

6. CLAIMING YOUR PRIZE

The Prize claim is subject to verification. To be declared a winner, the selected entrant (or his/her parent or legal guardian, if the selected entrant is under the age of majority in his/her province of residence) must answer correctly, without the assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a mathematical skill- testing question posed by email at the address provided during registration for the Contest. The selected entrant will also be required to sign a Declaration and Release Form (the “Release Form”) (or, if the selected entrant is under the age of majority in his/her province of residence, he/she must have his/her parent or legal guardian sign such Release Form on his/her behalf) confirming compliance with the Official Rules, acceptance of the Prize as awarded, without substitution, and releasing the Sponsor, the Contest Group, the independent contest organization and each of their respective shareholders, the retailers where any products were purchased, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliated and related companies, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any liability in connection with any Prize or the Contest.

The selected entrant must return a signed Release Form within thirty (30) days of receipt, or they will be disqualified from receiving the Prize, and another entrant may be selected from the remaining eligible entrants until such time as a winner is chosen or there are no more eligible entrants, whichever comes first. The Sponsor will contact the Prize winner within thirty (30) days of receiving their signed Release Form to arrange delivery of the Prize. For the Prizes, please allow up to 6 to 8 weeks for delivery from the end of the Contest Period.

The refusal by any potential winner to accept the Prize releases and forever discharges the Released Parties of all obligations related to the Prize, including delivery. If a potential winner is found to be ineligible, declines to accept the Prize, or in the event that the Prize confirmation or Prize itself is returned undeliverable, the Prize will be forfeited, and an alternative eligible entrant may be randomly selected from the remaining eligible entries at Sponsor’s sole discretion.
