All transactions on the SAQ mobile application or SAQ.COM (the “transactions”) and
Waiver forms are subject to verification by the Organizer. The use of any software or
other mechanism or device for automated entries is forbidden. Transactions and Waiver
forms which are, as the case may be, incomplete, illegible, mutilated, fraudulent, not
providing the correct answer to the skill-testing mathematical question, or otherwise not
in compliance with these rules shall be automatically rejected and shall not entitle the
entrant to an entry or a prize. If such an entry coupon is selected and the Organizer or
its authorized agents are unable to reach the person whose entry is selected within five
(5) business days in spite of making all reasonable attempts, if a selected entrant fails to
return the completed and signed Liability Release form within the prescribed time, if an
entrant refuses a prize, contravenes in any way these official rules or does not comply
with conditions of the program, that individual will be disqualified and forfeit all rights to
an entry or to a prize. The Organizer will then proceed to select another entry coupon
until a winner is chosen or may, at its sole discretion, cancel the prize.

Prizes must be accepted as awarded and may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to
another person or substituted for another prize.
