GENERAL CONDITIONS: Sponsor and its agencies are not responsible for incomplete information, incomplete transmission defaults, or faulty network connections, telephone, computer server/system/software failure of any kind, and/or delayed, garbled, or corrupted data. Any attempts by an individual to access the Contest or website via a bot script or other brute-force attack will result in that IP address becoming ineligible. Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or website, to be acting in violation of the Official Rules or any laws, or to be attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest by cheating, hacking, deception, misappropriation, infringement, or any other unfair playing practices/poor sportsmanship, or intending to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other entrants/persons.

In the event that production, printing, digital, or programming failures, or other reasons or any errors, cause more than the stated number of prizes to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the indicated number of prize(s) (if previously not awarded), by a random drawing among all legitimate eligible claimants for prize(s). Sponsor reserves the right to terminate/cancel the Contest as a result of any printing, technical, or other errors.

Sponsor's failure to enforce any provision of these Official Rules shall NOT constitute a waiver of that provision.

All Contest entries and participant information becomes the property of Sponsor, subject only to the policies of Sponsor’s privacy policy as posted on its website: https://scholastic.ca/aboutscholastic/privacy.php. If for any reason, a participant’s entry in the Contest is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, such participant’s sole remedy is another opportunity to enter the Contest (as applicable), provided that it is possible to do so (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion).

If, for any reason, the Contest is not capable of running as planned because, for example, of infection by computer virus, worms, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes that Sponsor, in its sole opinion, deems could corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of this Contest as intended, Sponsor reserves the right to terminate, modify, or suspend this Contest, in whole or in part.
