(The preceding sentence excludes the gift card element of Prize where cash redemption of same is required by applicable law.) Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the Prize (in whole or in part) with another prize/prize component of equal or greater value. Sponsor and Sweepstakes Administrator are not responsible for any inability of winner to accept or use the Prize (or any portion thereof) for any reason. No more than the stated number of Prizes (that is, one [1] Prize) will be awarded. Winner is solely responsible for all unspecified costs and expenses associated with Prize acceptance and use. Prize is awarded “as is” with no warranty, representation or guarantee of any kind by Sponsor. Transfer of the Prize is not permitted without the permission of Sponsor which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion and without liability of any kind. The Prize value as stated represents Sponsor’s good faith determination of the approximate retail value of the Prize.
4-day/3-night trip for winner and three (3) guests to Montego Bay, Jamaica includes (i) round-trip coach air transportation for four (4) persons between international airport within the Eligibility Area nearest the winner’s home and Montego Bay, Jamaica - the winner and his/her guests must travel together on the same itinerary; (ii) standard hotel accommodations (single room, quadruple occupancy) at the Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall in Montego Bay for three (3) nights; (iii) ground transportation between Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall and Montego Bay airport; and (iv) $500 gift card (issuer of Sponsor’s sole choosing; subject to terms and conditions of use as provided therewith).
Stay must be completed on or before January 1, 2025. Advance reservations are required to redeem the Prize. Subject to availability and blackout dates, including but not necessarily limited to December 23 to January 2, February 1 to April 30 and holiday and holiday weekends (including Friday and Saturday nights).
If any element of the Prize is declined or is unused by the winner, no compensation or substitute prize will be awarded.
If winner chooses to accept the Prize without all three (3) travel guests, the Prize will be awarded in increments appropriate for the actual number of travelers (including the winner) and no compensation or substitute prize will be awarded.
Prize travel must be coordinated using Sponsor’s designated travel agent and, once booked, cannot be modified or cancelled. Prize travel is also subject to availability. Other restrictions also apply. Winner and guests are solely responsible for having all necessary travel documents for travel, including a valid passport. Winner and guests must conduct themselves at all times in a socially responsible, appropriate and well-behaved manner during the trip. Should winner and/or guest(s) fail to do so (as determined by Sponsor and/or Prize Partner in their sole discretion), trip will be immediately terminated for winner and/or guest(s), with Promotion Entities having no liability to winner and/or guest(s).
Winner and guest(s) further understand and agree that travel to Jamaica carries special, additional risks due to the prevalence of violent crime on the Island and the Country’s criminalization of physical intimacy between individuals of the same gender. For more information, the potential winner is advised to review the United States Department of State current travel advisory level, including those advisories located here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Jamaica.html, prior to accepting the Prize. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THESE RISKS, YOUR SOLE RECOURSE IS TO DECLINE THE PRIZE, IN WHICH CASE SPONSOR AND THE OTHER PROMOTION ENTITIES WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY.
Prize is subject to terms and conditions of designated travel agent and travel service providers. Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of the Prize: $6,200.00. The ARV of the Prize is subject to fluctuations in airfare and the value may vary depending on the location of the departure city. Any difference in the stated ARV and the actual value of the Prize will not be awarded. All other expenses not specified herein, including flight insurance, travel insurance, meals (other than those included at Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall) and personal expenses are the sole responsibility of the winner. The Prize restrictions/conditions stated herein are not all-inclusive and the Prize described above may be subject to additional restrictions/conditions, which may be stated in the Prize Claim Documents (as defined in Rule 7 below) and/or other travel documents.
COVID-19 WARNING:
Winner and winner’s guests understand and agree:
- that prize travel carries an inherent risk of contracting COVID-19/Coronavirus as well as other tropical diseases, with winner and winner’s guests assuming any and all risks of illness or even death in conjunction therewith;
- to fully comply with all applicable government mandates (of the United States, Jamaica, or any political subdivision thereof) and venue policies so as to protect against the spread of COVID-19/Coronavirus (e.g., mask-wearing, social distancing, proof of vaccination status or negative COVID 19/Coronavirus test, mandatory quarantine if winner/guest(s) is determined to have contracted COVID-19/Coronavirus); and
- in response to economic and/or social conditions engendered by COVID-19/Coronavirus (regardless if mandated by a governmental authority), Sponsor may be compelled to modify, postpone or even cancel outright the award of the Prize with little (if any) advanced notice, replacing same with an alternate prize of Sponsor’s sole choosing of comparable value.
- Odds of Winning. Odds of winning the Prize depend upon the total number of eligible entries received.
- Claiming the Prize. The potential winner will be notified by email (if provided) and/or mail and/or phone. In the event that Sweepstakes Administrator cannot contact the potential winner of the Prize despite reasonable (in its sole discretion) attempts, Sponsor/Sweepstakes Administrator may, in their sole discretion, randomly select a new, alternate potential winner from the remaining eligible entries received. Return of Prize or prize notification as undeliverable (including, if applicable, due to failure of an AMC Stubs Member to include his/her current email address or mailing address as part of his/her Member profile information) will result in disqualification and an alternate potential winner may be selected in Sponsor’s sole discretion. The potential winner will be required to complete, execute and return to the address requested an Affidavit and Liability/Publicity Release within five (5) days of receipt of the “Prize Claim Documents” (consisting of all required documents sent to winner). Each of winner’s travel guests (if a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, his/her parent or legal guardian) must complete, execute and return a Liability/Publicity Release, within the aforementioned five (5) day period. (If a travel guest is a minor, his/her parent or legal guardian must be the winner or another of the winner’s guests.) If such Prize Claim Documents are not returned to Sponsor/Sweepstakes Administrator prior to the deadline, the Prize may be forfeited in Sponsor’s sole discretion, such potential winner may be disqualified, and an alternate winner selected by Sponsor/Sweepstakes Administrator in a subsequent random drawing from the remaining eligible entries. Except where prohibited by law, winner also grants Sponsor and its designees the right to use the winner’s full name, hometown, images and likenesses for advertising, publicity and promotion purposes, including print, broadcast and on-line announcements, without further compensation other than the Prize and at no expense to the winner, and Sponsor shall not be obligated to make any such use.
- Taxes. Winner is responsible for all applicable local, state and federal taxes. Sponsor or Sweepstakes Administrator will issue winner an IRS 1099 Tax Form, and winner agrees to fully cooperate in complying with applicable governmental reporting requirements. The potential winner will be required to complete, sign and return to Sponsor/Sweepstakes Administrator an IRS Form W-9 prior to receiving the Prize. Failure to complete, sign and return a W-9 will result in the winner being disqualified, and in such case Sponsor/Sweepstakes Administrator may, in their sole discretion, select an alternate winner in a random drawing from remaining eligible entries.
- General. Each entrant agrees to, accepts and shall abide by these Official Rules and agrees that any disputes shall be resolved by Sponsor, in its sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to cancel/terminate, modify, amend or suspend the Sweepstakes if in Sponsor’s sole determination it believes that the integrity of the Sweepstakes has been, or could be, compromised or that the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned or fairly, including without limitation due to tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, or force majeure (including but not limited to pandemic/epidemic including any governmental regulation or business decision made by Sponsor in good faith in conjunction therewith, including limited access to or closure of one or more AMC theatre locations in one or more jurisdictions of the 48 contiguous United States or the District of Columbia) or any other causes beyond Sponsor’s control.
