5. Winners Selection:

Potential prize winners (“Prize Winner”) will be chosen either by random drawing or based on the specific rules outlined in the social post, community post or email.

The potential Prize Winners will be notified by direct message or social post at the end of the individual contest and may be required to execute and return an affidavit (or declaration) of eligibility, a liability release, a W-9 form (if a U.S. resident), if applicable, and, where lawful, a publicity release within the time period specified in such notification.

If Winner notification or other Giveaway communication is rejected or returned as undeliverable, if potential Prize Winner cannot be reached after a reasonable attempt has been made by Sponsor (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion), or if the potential Prize Winner fails to respond to a Winner notification and/or to sign and return all documentation (if required) within the time periods set forth herein, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may be randomly selected in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the timing, selection and notification procedures in connection with the selection of any alternate potential Prize Winner.

The NFT is subject to the terms and conditions provided by the issuer. All federal, state and local taxes and any costs and expenses associated with Prize acceptance and use not specified herein as being provided are the responsibility of Prize Winners including, but not limited to, the gas fee to accept the NFT.

Each Prize Winner will receive the Prize via a transfer into their Paragon Account. Unless the Prize Winner has accepted of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy, the Prize Winner will not be able to accept a Prize.

Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void Entries of any Entrants who Sponsor believes has attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness or proper play of the Giveaway.

Entrants waive any right to claim ambiguity in the Giveaway or these Official Rules. If Sponsor determines at any time in its sole discretion that Entrant is disqualified, ineligible, or in violation of these Official Rules, or engaging in behavior that Sponsor deems obnoxious, inappropriate, threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to select an alternate winner. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. If the Giveaway is not capable of running as planned for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify or suspend the Giveaway and award the prizes from all non-suspect eligible entries received prior to cancellation, modification, or suspension or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor. In the event of a dispute concerning who submitted an Entry, the Entrant will be declared to be the registered account holder of record for the account submitting an Entry during the Giveaway Period, but only if that person meets all other eligibility criteria, otherwise the Entry may be disqualified and any potential Prize won will be forfeited in Sponsor’s sole discretion.
