Entries that are in excess of the stated limits, incomplete, illegible, corrupted, damaged, destroyed, forged, false, lost, late or misdirected, deceptive or otherwise not in compliance with the Official Rules may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Entries generated by a script, computer programs, macro, programmed, robotic or other automated means are void and may be disqualified.  Entries received or ranking status attained based on any tampering (cheating) or foul play will render that participant ineligible to receive any prize(s) and may result in participant no longer being allowed to enter Sponsor’s other promotions in the future, at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Subsequent attempts made by the same individual to submit multiple Entries by using multiple or false contact information or otherwise may be disqualified. The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to, the malfunctioning of any wireless network, telephone, computer, computer network, hardware or software or the unavailability or inaccessibility of any service.  The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in Entrant's device to receive messages. Those who do not follow all of the instructions, provide the required information in their entry form, or abide by these Official Rules or other instructions of Sponsor may be disqualified. All materials submitted become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned.  Illegible and/or incomplete Entries and Entries submitted by Entrants who do not meet the eligibility requirements (including all requirements with respect to age and residence) are void. You understand that Internet access and device data usage charges and any other charges imposed by your mobile plan and/or online service may apply when submitting an Entry. Contact your wireless carrier and/or check your mobile plan for data usage pricing plans and details. In the event of a dispute as to any Entry, the Authorized Account Holder of the email address used to register for Entry will be deemed to be the Entrant.

  1. WINNER SELECTION; DRAWING: On or about October 27, 2026, Administrator will randomly select one (1) potential Prize winner from among all eligible Entrants who submit a valid Entry during the Sweepstakes Period. The Odds of winning the Prize depend upon the total number of eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. 

 

  1. WINNER NOTIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION: The potential Prize winner will receive a prize notification via email and/or phone call as soon as reasonably practicable after the winner selection, via the contact information provided in their Registration Form, where they may be asked to confirm their intention to be potentially awarded the Prize. The potential Prize winner will be sent a Declaration of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (the “Winner Documentation”) via email, which must be duly completed, signed, and returned to Administrator within three (3) business days of date of issuance, or such other period as specified by the Administrator. Provided that the potential winner is in compliance with these Official Rules and after having successfully proven eligibility and provided any documentation required by Sponsor, the potential winner will be determined to be the Prize "Winner”. If such potential winner cannot be contacted within a reasonable time period, if the potential winner is ineligible, if the potential winner fails to return the duly completed Winner Documentation within the prescribed time period, if any notification is returned undeliverable, or if the potential winner otherwise fails to fully comply with these Official Rules, they will forfeit the Prize and an alternate winner will be selected from among all remaining eligible Entries and the process of confirming the winner will again be followed. This will be repeated until such time as a Prize Winner is ultimately determined, unless the Sponsor determines in its reasonable discretion that it is unlikely that a Prize Winner will be determined in which case the Prize will remain un-awarded. Sponsor expressly reserves the right to delay the announcement of the Winner for any reason it deems necessary. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim a prize in excess of the one (1) available Prize as set forth in these Official Rules, the Winner of the Prize may be selected in a random drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such Prize. Inclusion in such drawing shall be each Entrant’s sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential winner.

CAUTION: ANY ACT OR ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THIS SWEEPSTAKES IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SWEEPSTAKES PARTIES RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) FROM ANY SUCH INDIVIDUAL(S) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.  

NOTHING IN THESE OFFICIAL RULES SHALL DISCLAIM, LIMIT, OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY NOT BE DISCLAIMED, LIMITED, OR EXCLUDED PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW.  

 

  1. PRIVACY POLICY: The Entrant acknowledges and understands that all personal information submitted as part of this Sweepstakes will be collected and processed by Sponsor for the purpose of managing the Sweepstakes, and such additional purposes specified in connection with entering or participating in the Sweepstakes, in accordance with the Sponsor’s privacy policy available at https://shadyrays.com/pages/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”). Participants can read more about their rights, how Participant’s personal information is used, and how to contact Sponsor in the Privacy Policy. By participating in the Sweepstakes, Participants agree to these Official Rules and the terms and conditions of Sponsor’s website and acknowledge all of the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy. 

 

  1. APPLICABLE LAW:  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 Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the Commonwealth of Kentucky or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Some jurisdictions do not allow for limitations of certain remedies or damages and so those provisions may not apply to you.   

 

  1. DISPUTES/ARBITRATION:  The parties hereto each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Released Parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in Commonwealth of Kentucky and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties.  In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited.  The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.  The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Contest shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS.  In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service.  If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration.  Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing).  Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court. 

 

  1. GENERAL CONDITIONS: The decisions of the Sponsor with respect to all aspects of this Sweepstakes are final and binding on all entrants without right of appeal. ANY PERSON FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THE LETTER AND SPIRIT OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES BY THE SPONSOR, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, MAY BE DISQUALIFIED AT ANY TIME, AT THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES ORGANIZER. 

Winners acknowledge that upon acceptance of a prize, performance of prize obligations becomes the sole and exclusive responsibility of the designated service provider(s) for those portions not originating with Sponsor, if any. 

The Sponsor reserves the right to change the dates, deadlines and/or other mechanics of the Sweepstakes as set out in these Official Rules, to the extent deemed necessary by the Sponsor, in order to verify that an Entrant, an Entry and/or other information comply with these Official Rules, or due to technical or other problems or circumstances which, in the opinion of the Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, affect the proper administration of the Sweepstakes as contemplated in these Official Rules, or for any other reason. 

The Sponsor is the sole owner of the promotional materials and products of the Sweepstakes and of the intellectual property rights related thereto, and nothing in these Official Rules shall be construed as conferring any rights whatsoever on the Entrants in this regard.   

Except as provided in these Official Rules, no communications or correspondence will be entered into with Entrants, except with potential Prize winners, or as otherwise decided by the Sponsor in its sole discretion.
