6. Prize Drawing
On or about 10/28/19, Strafford will select the potential winners in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. The odds of being selected depend on the number of entries received. Strafford will attempt to notify the potential winner via telephone or email on or about 10/28/19. If the potential winner cannot be contacted within five (5) days after the date of the first attempt to contact him/her, Strafford may select an alternate potential winner in his/her place at random from the remaining non-winning, eligible entries.
7. Winner Notification
The potential winners will be notified by email, mail or phone. The winner (parent/legal guardian if a minor in his/her state of residence) may in Strafford’s sole discretion be required to complete, electronically sign and submit a Declaration of Compliance within five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to submit the Declaration of Compliance within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. If the potential winner is at least 18 but still considered a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, Strafford reserves the right to award the prize in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian, who will be required to sign the Declaration of Compliance on the potential winners behalf and fulfill any other requirements imposed on winner set forth herein. Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Strafford will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. Prizes will be fulfilled approximately 2 weeks after the conclusion of the Giveaway.

There will be one prize: A Strafford CPE Annual Pass. The current estimated value of the Grand Prize, based on the amount for which it is normally sold by Strafford, is $797. The odds of winning depend entirely on the number of entries received, which cannot be determined in advance.
9. General Conditions
In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Giveaway is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but not limited to fraud, virus, bug, worm, unauthorized human intervention or other technical problem, or in the event the Giveaway is unable to run as planned for any other reason, as determined by Strafford in its sole discretion, Strafford may, in its sole discretion, either (a) suspend the Giveaway to address the impairment and then resume the Giveaway in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules or (b) terminate the Giveaway and, in the event of termination, award the prize at random from among the eligible, nonsuspect entries received up to the time of the impairment.
