The Administrator reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any entrant or individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or to be acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. The Administrator’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. The Administrator is not responsible for lost, late, delayed, or incomplete entries; entries not received by the entry deadline; interrupted or unavailable networks; server problems or other connection malfunctions or miscommunications; failed telephone connections; computer hardware, software errors or malfunctions, and other technical errors or failures of any kind, including any injury or damage to any person’s computer related to or resulting from participating in the Contest; failed, incomplete, garbled, jumbled, or delayed computer transmissions or other errors of any kind, whether human, mechanical, or electronic, that may limit a person’s ability to participate in the Contest, including without limitation the incorrect or inaccurate capture of entry information online regardless of cause. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than one entry by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations or logins, or any other methods will void that entrant’s entries and that entrant may be disqualified from the Contest. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed, or similar entry methods or agents (including but not limited to sweepstakes entry services) will void all entries by that entrant and may void the entire Contest at the sole discretion of the Administrator. In the event of a dispute as to any online entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. Administrator reserves the right to prohibit the participation of an entrant if fraud or tampering is suspected or if the entrant fails to comply with any requirement of participation as stated herein or with any provision in these Official Rules. MGE and the Released Parties do not endorse any content submitted on any entry or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein. Reference in any entry to any specific commercial products, process, or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise does not constitute or imply its endorsement or recommendation by MGE or any Released Party.
