Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder of the email address/Twitter account associated with the Entry. The Tweet may not contain obscene, lewd or inappropriate content, or otherwise violate these Official Rules or the terms and conditions imposed on users of Twitter, as determined in Sponsor's sole discretion. Any Entry or portion thereof that is, in the Sponsor's sole discretion, obscene, profane, lewd, defamatory, contains any third party materials, or otherwise violates or infringes (or may infringe) any copyright, trademark, logo, mark that identifies a brand or other personal or proprietary right of any person living or deceased (including but not limited to rights of privacy or publicity or portrayal in a false light) or entity, or is otherwise objectionable, will not be considered and may disqualify the Entrant. Entrants may not copy or otherwise plagiarize the Tweet from any source. Sponsor has the sole discretion to determine whether a Tweet qualifies as an Entry. All Entries must be the sole, original work of the Entrants. Modifying, enhancing or altering a third party's pre-existing work does not qualify as an original work. In such an event, the Entry will be disqualified from the Sweepstakes. Entrants and winners acknowledge and agree that all Entries, including Tweets, become the property of the Sponsor, which has the right to edit, adapt, modify, reproduce, promote and otherwise use all Entries and Tweets in any way it sees fit. Entries may be posted on Sponsor's and non-affiliated websites, in Sponsor's sole discretion.
