Furthermore, Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a background check on the potential winner(s) and reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify such individual based on such background check(s) if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that awarding the prize to such potential winner(s) might reflect negatively on Sponsor or any of the Associated Companies.

Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner.
