Entries using bots or other forms of automatic entry will be disqualified. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Sponsor may prohibit an entrant from participating in the Sweepstakes or winning a prize if, in its sole discretion, it determines that said entrant is attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes by cheating, deceiving or using other unfair playing practices or otherwise violating these Official Rules. Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, modify, or suspend the Sweepstakes at any time if fraud, technical failures, any unanticipated occurrence that is not fully addressed in these Official Rules or any other errors or other causes corrupt the administration, security, or integrity of the Sweepstakes. In the event of cancellation, Sponsor reserves the right to select the winners by random drawing from among all eligible, non-suspect entries received up to the time of such cancellation, and in a manner determined by Sponsor to be fair, appropriate, and consistent with these Official Rules. Notice of such cancellation, modification or suspension may be posted on the Website. Any remaining prizes after the cancellation date will not be awarded. In addition, if no eligible entries are received in a given entry period, the prizes for that entry period will not be awarded. If there is a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the prize will be awarded to the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the winning entry. The "Authorized Account Holder" is defined as the natural person to whom the email address is assigned by an online service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. If a dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor's satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible. Internet access charges imposed by entrant’s online service provider may apply.

All received entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.
5. PRIZES: A total of thirty (30) prizes will be awarded, consisting of three (3) Grand Prizes and twenty-seven (27) First Prizes. Odds of winning a prize depend upon the total eligible entries received per entry period. Total approximate retail value (“ARV”) of all prizes: up to $18,021. Limit: one (1) prize per person/household.
Grand Prize: A trip for the winner (“Grand Prize Winner”) and up to three (3) guests to a SeaWorld destination for which the Grand Prize Winner qualifies (i.e., as drawn per the entry period stated in section 4 above: SeaWorld San Diego, California, or SeaWorld Orlando, Florida, or SeaWorld San Antonio, Texas). The ARV of each Grand Prize is up to $5,332. Each Grand Prize trip consists of:
(a) roundtrip, coach class air transportation for Grand Prize Winner and guest(s) from a major commercial airport located within the United States near Grand Prize Winner’s place of residence (“Origin Airport”) to an airport near the SeaWorld destination (as selected in Sponsor’s sole discretion). If Grand Prize Winner resides within one hundred (100) miles of the SeaWorld destination, Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute ground transportation for air transportation;

(c) up to four (4) one-day admission tickets to a SeaWorld theme park (park location noted in entry dates above); one complimentary certificate for a SeaWorld Animal Encounter Experience (for up to four people), and one (1) complimentary parking voucher.
If Grand Prize Winner chooses to partake in any portion of the Grand Prize with fewer than three (3) guests, or no guest, the remaining elements of the Grand Prize shall constitute full satisfaction of Sponsor’s prize obligation to Grand Prize Winner and no additional compensation will be awarded. Each Grand Prize must be taken within six (6) months of the winner’s verification date or Grand Prize Winner forfeits the prize. In the event that a Grand Prize Winner is unable to use the Seaworld Theme Park tickets on the scheduled date and time, that Grand Prize Winner forfeits the SeaWorld Theme Park prize. If any Theme Park activities become unavailable due to weather conditions after the trip has begun, the remaining elements of the Grand Prize will constitute full fulfillment of the Sponsor’s prize obligation. Grand Prize Winner and guests must travel together on the same itinerary and on dates determined by Sponsor or forfeit all rights to Grand Prize. All details of Grand Prize will be determined in Sponsor’s or Administrator’s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to change the date and/or time of the Grand Prize execution in its sole discretion. Trip is subject to availability, certain restrictions and blackout dates apply. Advance booking may be required. Grand Prize Winner and guests must have valid travel documents (e.g., valid government issued photo ID) prior to departure, and failure to do so will result in forfeiture of prize. Trip may not be combined with any other offer and travel may not qualify for frequent flyer miles. Grand Prize Winner and guest(s) must sign and return a travel release before any trip booking occurs. If guest is a minor, Grand Prize Winner must be such minor’s parent or legal guardian and must execute and return the guest documents on minor’s behalf. Any minor (as determined by one’s state of residence) must be accompanied by an adult throughout the trip. Winner or one (1) of the guests must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age at the time of prize redemption in order to check into the hotel and will be required to provide a valid major credit card when checking-in at the hotel to cover incidentals which are not included in the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize Winner and guest(s) are solely responsible for all other expenses not specifically set forth herein, including but not limited to, transportation to/from home and Origin Airport or hotel and SeaWorld Theme Park, incidental or personal charges, baggage fees, travel/medical insurance, gratuities, expenses incurred as a consequence of flight cancellation/delay. Grand Prize Winner and guest(s) must follow all instructions given by any representative during the trip (including, but not limited to, in-flight, hotel stay and during the visit to the SeaWorld Theme Park). The representative involved reserves the right to revoke the Grand Prize Winner and/or guests’ participation for failure to follow any instructions during the trip, or if Grand Prize Winner and/or guest appears to be intoxicated, be a safety risk, or has violated any policy or law. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute prize (or portion thereof) with a similar prize of comparable or greater value. If no substitute prize or portion of prize is reasonably available then the remaining components, if any, of the prize shall constitute full satisfaction of Sponsor’s prize obligation to Grand Prize Winner, and no other or additional compensation will be awarded. Grand Prize Winner and guest(s) must agree that all travel, lodging and activities will be at their own risk. If Grand Prize Winner determines that travel is not permissible due to health or safety reasons, or for any other reasons, after the trip is booked, Grand Prize Winner forfeits all rights to the prize and no compensation or substitution will be awarded. Grand Prize ARV may vary based on, among other things, availability, existing rates at time of booking, dates of travel, and point of departure. Any difference between the stated ARV and actual value at the time the Grand Prize was fulfilled will not be awarded.
