Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any attempt or suspected attempt to use robotic, automatic, programmed, or otherwise illicit means to enter the Contest, or any other methods not authorized by these Official Contest Rules, shall be deemed, all in the Contest Sponsor's sole discretion, as tampering and will disqualify an entrant from entering, participating and/or winning a Prize. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and should such an attempt be made, the Contest Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Contest Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Contest Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

 

h.     The Contest Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend or modify these Official Contest Rules, or modify, terminate, cancel or suspend this Contest, without prior notice for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation in the event that any cause beyond the reasonable control of the Contest Sponsor corrupts, or threatens to corrupt, the security or proper administration of the Contest.  Without limiting the foregoing, if, for any reason, the Contest is not capable of running as originally planned, the Contest Sponsor reserves the right, but shall not be required, to cancel the Contest and conduct a draw from all previously received eligible Entries. The Contest Sponsor shall not be held responsible for any problems, errors or negligence that may arise or occur in connection with the Contest.
