The potential finalist(s) and winner(s) will be selected and notified by telephone and/or email, at N2K’s discretion. If a
potential finalist/winner does not respond to the notification attempt within three (3) days from the first notification
attempt, then said potential finalist/winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential finalist/winner will be selected

or answering machine by N2K, whichever occurs first. Except where prohibited by law, each potential finalist/winner
may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability and Publicity Release and provide any
additional information that may be required by N2K. If required, potential finalists/winners must return all such required
documents via fax (or as otherwise instructed) within forty-eight (48) hours and via U.S. Mail within seven (7) days
following attempted notification or such potential finalist/winner will be deemed to have forfeited the prize and another

as well as other requirements within these Rules, will be strictly enforced. Determinations of judges are final and

persons providing any of these services and accommodations to passengers including any results thereof such as
changes in services or accommodations necessitated by same. N2K Entities shall not be liable for any loss or damage to
baggage.
The time of the prize distribution will be provided to finalists at the awards ceremony contingent on all legal requirements
having already been met. All prizes awarded to minors will be paid in the name of the parent or legal guardian for the
benefit of the child, thus prizes will be legally considered unearned income for the minor’s parent or legal guardian, and
1099s will be issued to the minor’s parent or legal guardian for all prizes. No transfer, substitution or cash equivalent for
prizes is allowed, except at N2K’s sole discretion. N2K reserves the right to substitute any potential prize, in whole or in

ON PRIZES ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNERS. In order to receive a prize, potential winners must
submit tax documentation requested by N2K or otherwise required by applicable law, to N2K or a representative for N2K
or the relevant tax authority, all as determined by applicable law. The potential winner and finalists, and if the
winner/finalist is a minor, their parents, are responsible for ensuring that they comply with all the applicable tax laws and
filing requirements. If a potential winner fails to provide such documentation or to comply with such laws, the prize may be
forfeited and N2K may, in its sole discretion, select an alternate potential winner.
13. GENERAL CONDITIONS: All federal, state and local laws and regulations apply. N2K reserves the right to disqualify
any entrant from N2K if, in N2K’s sole discretion, it reasonably believes that the entrant has attempted to undermine the

threatens or harasses any other entrants, N2K, or the Judges.
