The selected winners will be notified via e-mail or telephone within thirty (30) days of selection. Selection will be under supervision of Sponsor or its designee, whose decisions are final on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. If a selected winner cannot be reached by e-mail or telephone within five (5) business days of Sponsor's first attempt to notify such winner, such winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected from the remaining eligible entries by random drawing. Return of any notification as undeliverable may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. Winners will be subject to verification.

6. GRAND PRIZE. One (1) Grand Prize (as defined herein) will be awarded to each winner, and each Grand Prize will consist of one (1) trip for one person to a CARE field office to visit program(s) with the Sponsor in a location and during a time to be determined in Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion (each trip, a "Grand Prize"). For the avoidance of doubt, each winner will receive one Grand Prize and in no event will any winner be entitled to receive multiple Grand Prizes. The approximate retail value ("ARV") for one entire Grand Prize is $3,500 USD. A Grand Prize includes round-trip, coach-class air transportation from the major airport closest to the winner's home address (determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion) and lodging in multiple locations in which the trip is to occur and three meals per day, with selections determined in Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion. Travel to and from the United States will be by air, and travel in-country overseas may be by air, bus or passenger vehicle, in CARE's sole discretion. Actual value will be determined by location selected by CARE, winner's residence, seasonal rates and other factors. Air carriers, hotels and other transportation shall be selected by CARE.

The winner must be available to travel on dates designated by the Sponsor or the Grand Prize will be forfeited in its entirety. Prizes are not assignable. If a winner cannot travel for any reason whatsoever, such winner will forfeit the Grand Prize, and the Sponsor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, award the Grand Prize to an alternate winner. All other expenses, including, without limitation, additional meals, gratuities, transportation to and from US airport, sales tax, luxury tax and any other costs or taxes incurred in claiming or using the Grand Prize, are the sole responsibility of each winner. Each winner is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes on his or her Grand Prize and may be issued an IRS Form 1099 for the ARV of the awarded Grand Prize. The Grand Prize, or any portion thereof, is subject to availability and Sponsor in its sole discretion may substitute cash or a different prize of approximately equivalent or greater retail value except where prohibited by law. The winner is solely responsible for obtaining proper travel documentation for him- or herself, including passport and any applicable visas, as well as any required immunizations prior to travel. The Grand Prize, and any portion thereof, is non-transferable, non-refundable for cash and non-changeable once issued. If a winner does not use any portion of the Grand Prize, no other compensation for the unused portion of the Grand Prize, in whole or in-part, will be provided. Any attempt by a winner to transfer, sell or otherwise give away any portion of his or her Grand Prize shall result in the immediate forfeiture of the entire Grand Prize, and such winner may not be eligible to win any future prizes from Sponsor, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Sponsor or its agents shall not be responsible for delays in delivery of any portion of the Grand Prize.

Sponsor reserves the right to delay, cancel, terminate, or otherwise revise the Sweepstakes or any prize, for any reason in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, a major humanitarian emergency that CARE deems requires it to reassign or redeploy staff or resources, acts or events outside CARE's reasonable control (force majeure), any situation or event in the United States or internationally that could increase the risks associated with travel.

7. CLAIMING GRAND PRIZE/RELEASES. Eligibility, age and all claims made by winner are subject to verification. Sponsor is not responsible for fraudulent calls/mail/e-mails made/sent to entrants not by Sponsor. Potential winners may be required to complete, sign, have notarized and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability/Publicity Release Form (except where prohibited by law), an IRS form W-9, and such other documents as may be required by Sponsor, including a travel liability release, within ten (10) business days of the date such documents are postmarked or emailed. Noncompliance within this time period may result in disqualification and an alternate winner may be selected. Winner shall be required to produce a form of proper identification to claim the Grand Prize. Winners shall also be required to consent to and complete a background check, and any winner with a criminal conviction will be disqualified and barred from claiming the Grand Prize, and an alternate winner may be selected by Sponsor. If any alternate winner fails to comply with these official rules, is found to be ineligible and/or does not submit required documentation within the designated period, their Grand Prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected. If any Sweepstakes' notifications are returned as undeliverable, or if any winner refuses their Grand Prize, or any portion thereof, such winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected in accordance with the rules of this Sweepstakes.

8. PUBLICITY AND CONSENT TO USE AFFIDAVIT. Except where prohibited by law, participation in this Sweepstakes constitutes each winner's consent to Sponsor's use of his/her name, photographs and likeness for advertising, trade and promotional purposes in all media without compensation, notice, or approval.
