The Sponsors may publicly announce the name of the winner within 30 days of the close of the Contest, including through Sponsors’ official social media channels.

Prize Conditions. Save as may be required by any applicable mandatory laws, the Prize is provided AS-IS with no express or implied warranty or guarantee.
