The promoter of the FORMULA 1 MSC CRUISES UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX 2026 (“Event”) is CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS LLC (the “Promoter”). Each ticket for the Event at the Circuit of the Americas, 9201 Circuit of The Americas Blvd, Austin, TX, 78617 (the “Venue”) is a revocable license that grants entry into the Event grounds (the “Circuit”) and a seat or standing location (as specified on the ticket), for the Event. The person seeking entry pursuant to such license and any accompanying minors (collectively, “Holder”) agrees that such license is subject to these terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, any documents incorporated by reference (the “Terms and Conditions”), as well as any Venue rules and regulations linked here: https://help.thecircuit.com/hc/en-us (including but not limited to those implemented by any operator of the Venue or related groups (such as by way of example and without limitation parking areas, entry gates, hospitality areas and any other location where Event activities are conducted)) and additional policies, rules, terms and conditions established by the Promoter, Formula One World Championship Limited (“FOWC”), Formula One Marketing Limited (“FOML”) and/or each of their respective affiliates (collectively, “Supplemental Terms”), in all instances as amended or supplemented from time to time.
By purchasing, accepting and/or using such license, Holder is deemed to have read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions and Supplemental Terms. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, IF HOLDER INSTRUCTS OR AUTHORIZES ANY THIRD PARTY TO PURCHASE OR OTHERWISE OBTAIN TICKETS FOR THE EVENT ON BEHALF OF HOLDER, THEN SUCH THIRD PARTY IS DEEMED TO HAVE READ AND AGREED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF HOLDER, AND CORRESPONDINGLY, HOLDER IS DEEMED TO HAVE READ AND AGREED TO SUCH TERMS BY SO AUTHORIZING SUCH THIRD PARTY.
Any attempt or attempted use of any automated system, including without limitation, “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” etc. (“Bots”), that purchases tickets in a manner meant to circumvent any ticket quantity control measures implemented by the Promoter, or that otherwise violates local, state, federal law, constitutes a material breach of these Terms and Conditions and any tickets acquired through such Bots are subject to being revoked by the Promoter without warning or compensation.
Failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions and/or Supplemental Terms shall result in forfeiture of the license and all of Holder’s rights arising under it without refund and entitle the Promoter, FOWC, FOML and their affiliates to pursue all legal remedies. Admission may be refused or revoked, and Holder may be ejected for any reason in the Promoter’s sole discretion. The ticket does not grant Holder any re-entry rights if Holder leaves the Event after presenting the ticket and offered entry into the Event except as provided by the Promoter.
The Promoter, in its sole discretion, may refuse to accept or cancel any ticket purchase from anyone it believes intends to offer tickets for resale contrary to these Terms and Conditions.
ALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL AND NON-CANCELLABLE. NO REFUNDS, CREDITS OR EXCHANGES EXCEPT TO THE LIMITED EXTENT EXPRESSLY REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW GOVERNING THE EVENT AND REFUNDS FOR TICKETS THERETO (“TICKET LAW”). THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, IF ANY, if admission is refused or revoked without cause, capacity limits result in ticket cancellation, or the Event is canceled and not rescheduled for any reason, is a refund of up to the ticket’s face value as set by the Promoter plus, if required by Ticket Law, associated fees and governmental charges actually paid by Holder at the time of purchase (“Face Value”). The Promoter’s liability for breach of the Terms and Conditions shall not exceed Face Value. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PROMOTER, FOWC, FOML OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES OR ANY OTHER RELEASEE (DEFINED BELOW) BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE, INCLUDING ANY AMOUNT PAID IN EXCESS OF FACE VALUE FOR THE TICKET OR ANY EXPENSES INCURRED BY THE HOLDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE EVENT OTHER THAN THE FACE VALUE.
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TICKET OR THE EVENT SHALL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY, CONFIDENTIAL, FINAL, BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE JAMS IN AUSTIN PURSUANT TO ITS STREAMLINED RULES. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS APPLYING TEXAS SUBSTANTIVE LAW.

IF HOLDER DOES NOT CONSENT TO THIS CLAUSE, HOLDER MUST LEAVE OR NOT ENTER THE FACILITY. THIS CLAUSE IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.
If Holder elects to seek arbitration, Holder must first give the Promoter an opportunity to resolve Holder’s claim by sending a written description of Holder’s claim (“Notice of Dispute”) by certified mail to: Circuit of the Americas LLC, attn: Legal Department, 9201 Circuit of the Americas Blvd., Austin, Texas 78617. The Notice of Dispute must contain enough information for the Promoter to confirm Holder’s ticket purchase and attempt to resolve Holder’s claim, including Holder’s name and email address, as well as a written description of the problem, relevant documents, and a statement of the specific relief that Holder is seeking. The Notice of Dispute must be signed by Holder. If Promoter and Holder do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, Holder or the Promoter may commence an arbitration proceeding.
CLASS WAIVER: Separate and apart from the arbitration terms above, HOLDER AGREES NOT TO SUE PROMOTER, FOWC, FOML AND/OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES AS A CLASS PLAINTIFF OR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, JOIN AS A CLASS MEMBER, OR PARTICIPATE AS AN ADVERSE PARTY IN ANY WAY IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST PROMOTER, FOWC, FOML AND/OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES. Nothing in this paragraph, however, limits Holder’s right to bring an individual claim. Holder can opt out of the class action waiver contained in this paragraph by sending written notice of Holder’s decision to opt out by certified mail, and postmarked within 30 days of Holder’s ticket purchase, to Promoter at: Circuit of the Americas LLC, attn: Legal Department, 9201 Circuit of the Americas Blvd., Austin, Texas 78617.

Tickets obtained from sources other than the Promoter or the Promoter’s authorized agents may not be honored. If a ticket is offered for resale, resold, or transferred for profit,for commercial gain (including as part of a promotion or prize), or for any form of fee or reward without the Promoter’s or FOWC’s authority and without complying with these Terms and Conditions it will become void, and the Holder may be refused entry to or be ejected from the Circuit grounds. Tickets may not be used for, or in connection with, any form of commercial, trade or charitable purposes, including, any advertising, promotions, raffle, prizes, competitions, contests, giveaways, packaging with hospitality or other products, and/or sweepstakes, gambling or gaming activities, without the express written consent of the Promoter and FOWC.

Event and gate opening dates/times, and entry and re-entry policies, are subject to change at the Promoter’s sole discretion. No changes as described above shall entitle Holder to a refund or remedy for any reason, including if as a result of such change Holder cannot attend the Event. There are no refunds, credits or exchanges if a session or day of the Event is delayed, interrupted, or not completed. The Promoter expressly reserves the right to prohibit use of the seat or standing room location associated with the ticket, or relocate Holder, to any other seat or standing room location for any reason. No relocation shall entitle Holder to a refund or other remedy if Holder is relocated to a location of comparable Face Value. If Holder is relocated to a location with a materially lower Face Value, Promoter shall provide Holder with an equitable adjustment in an amount not less than the difference in price between the applicable Face Values.
Without limiting anything in the foregoing, Holder must comply with all Promoter policies, including any policies addressing security and fan conduct, health and safety, and bags. Holder and Holder’s belongings may be searched or assessed upon entry to the Circuit and while at the Circuit.

Any person in possession of Prohibited Items may be refused entry to or ejected from the Venue or may only be permitted to remain in the Venue if any such Prohibited Items are surrendered. Prohibited Items may be confiscated at the sole discretion of the Promoter or individual conducting the inspection. Any surrendered or confiscated Prohibited Items will be deemed to have been surrendered irrevocably and voluntarily and may be disposed of by the Promoter without any liability. Holder consents to such searches and assessments and waives all related claims. If Holder subsequently refuses to consent, Holder acknowledges the Promoter has the right to deny or revoke Holder’s admission without refund. Holder may not bring into, use, distribute or display (whether for free or not) within the Circuit grounds any sponsorship, promotional or marketing materials or do any other thing that might cause a reasonable person to believe that Holder has a sponsorship arrangement with the Promoter, the Event or FOWC or its affiliates.

On behalf of Holder and Holder’s Related Persons (defined below), Holder knowingly and voluntarily releases and covenants not to sue each of the Releasees with respect to any and all claims that Holder or any of Holder’s Related Persons may have or hereafter accrue against any of the Releasees that relate to any of the risks, hazards and dangers described above, including without limitation any and all claims that arise out of or relate in any way to Holder’s or any of Holder’s Related Persons’ entry into, or presence within or around, the Circuit, Venue grounds, or Event (including without limitation in parking areas or entry gates), in each case whether caused by any action, inaction or negligence of any Releasee or otherwise. HOLDER UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY ARE RELEASING AND WAIVING CERTAIN POTENTIAL RIGHTS HELD BY HOLDER AND HOLDER’S RELATED PERSONS. As used herein, “Related Persons” means Holder’s heirs, assigns, executors, administrators, next of kin, anyone attending the Event with Holder (which persons Holder represents have authorized Holder to act on their behalf for purposes of agreeing to the Terms and Conditions, including the release, waiver, and covenant not to sue herein), and other persons acting or purporting to act on Holder’s or their behalf.
Holder agrees to not attend the Event if any such individual has been directed by a healthcare provider or public health authority to quarantine, isolate, or otherwise refrain from interacting with members of the public due to a diagnosis of or exposure to COVID-19 or any other illness or other medical condition.
The Promoter is not responsible for lost, stolen, destroyed, duplicated or counterfeit tickets and may refuse to honor the same. Use of tickets in violation of law is prohibited and will result in seizure, revocation, cancellation and/or forfeiture of the license without refund.
The Promoter reserves the right to terminate, supplement, amend or otherwise modify these Terms and Conditions, or impose new conditions of use, at any time and it is Holder’s responsibility to check these terms periodically for changes. The Promoter will endeavor to provide notice to Holder of such modifications, to be communicated through one or several methods as determined and selected solely by the Promoter. Methods the Promoter may employ by way of example only are (i) posting on this or another page of the Event’s website and/or (ii) emailing to any email address that Holder provided to the Promoter. Changes to the Terms and Conditions shall be deemed effective as of their stated effective or modification date.
No representation, warranty or guarantee is made by the Promoter or any Releasee to Holder regarding the view of the Event from the seat or standing room location associated with the ticket. Holder acknowledges and understands that the view from certain areas may be impaired because of the location of the Event, the type of set-up for the Event, the weather, or by other reasons related to the manner of presentation or activities of the Event.
The Promoter expressly reserves the right to prohibit use of the seat or standing room location associated with the ticket, or relocate Holder, to any other seat or standing room location for any reason.
The Promoter will be excused for any failure to perform under these Terms and Conditions to the extent that the affected performance is prevented by any reason outside of the Promoter’s or its employees’ or agents’ reasonable control or that may be characterized as a force majeure event. The Promoter, FOWC, and FOML will not be responsible for any conditions or events outside of their reasonable control, including inclement weather and traffic.
The rights licensed pursuant to these Terms and Conditions are rights of personal privilege and do not under any circumstances confer upon Holder any interest or estate in real property or any leasehold or possessory interest in the Circuit and any related grounds, and the relationship between the Promoter and Holder is that of licensor and licensee.
These Terms and Conditions and all the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Promoter and Holder and their respective successors and permitted assigns concerning Holder’s use of the ticket. Other terms, conditions, rules and regulations outside of those contained or referenced in these Terms and Conditions govern other aspects of Holder’s and Holder’s guests’/invitees’ attendance at the Event (many of which are found on the official Event website), which Holder and all guests should review these policies in advance.
No failure by the Promoter to exercise or any delay in exercising any right, power or remedy by the Promoter operates as a waiver of such right. A single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by the Promoter does not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or remedy. A waiver is not valid or binding on the Promoter unless made in writing.
Holder agrees not to give or offer this ticket in a manner that would constitute a violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Anti-Bribery Act, any other anti-bribery law or regulation, or any conflicts of interest law, regulation, or policy.
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions or any Supplemental Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall be deemed severed and not affect the enforceability of any other provisions, which shall be enforced as if the Terms and Conditions and/or Supplemental Terms, as applicable, did not contain the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision. The terms “include”, “including” and variations thereof used in this revocable license (irrespective of whether such terms are followed by “without limitation”) are used to introduce examples and shall not be construed to suggest that such examples constitute an exhaustive list.
In the event of a conflict between the Terms and Conditions and any other terms or conditions applicable to the sale of the ticket, the Terms and Conditions control.
The Terms and Conditions may not be modified except as described above or in a writing signed by an authorized representative of the Promoter. Any and all rights not granted herein are expressly reserved to the Promoter.
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of Texas.

Circuit of The Americas (COTA) has taken enhanced health and safety measures – for you, drivers, crew, vendors, employees and other guests. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present, including COTA and the event for which you are purchasing admission. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. People who show no symptoms may spread COVID-19 if they are infected and therefore any event where people are present may pose heightened risk of contracting COVID-19. If you are considered a high-risk person as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you may be especially vulnerable to COVID-19. You should evaluate your own risk in determining whether to attend any public event including the event at COTA for which you are purchasing admission.
As a condition of admission to this event at COTA you will be required to abide by all current facility rules, posted instructions, and protocols while on premises or risk ejection, including, but not limited to the following, which may be periodically revised in accordance with public health guidance or requirements, or other guidance or requirements:
Guests are encouraged (and may be required) to wear a cloth face covering (all guests who are 3 years or older).
Guests may be required to submit to a non-contact temperature check prior to entry.
Guests may be presented with a brief questionnaire prior to entry to confirm that they are not currently experiencing COVID-19-like symptoms and/or have not been recently exposed to the virus which causes COVID-19.
Guests must maintain a distance of at least 6 feet between their travel party and others.
Guests are reminded to wash their hands frequently with soap and water.
For guests who may need an accommodation in order to comply with any facility rules and/or protocols, please contact our guest services team for further information.
In addition, to further protect the health and safety of our guests and employees, you will not be admitted to COTA and you should stay home if within past fourteen (14) days you have:
Tested positive or have been deemed presumptively positive with COVID-19;
Sought testing to determine whether you might have COVID-19 due to contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, and have not yet received the results;
Been informed that you may have been exposed to Coronavirus or learned that you have been in the immediate vicinity of a person now known to have been carrying the Coronavirus; or
Experienced any of the following symptoms commonly associated with COVID-19, including cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, OR two or more of any of the following: fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell.
WAIVER – ASSUMPTION OF RISK
We appreciate your cooperation as we strive to make the guest experience as safe as possible for all. Although preventative measures set forth by the facility are intended to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, we cannot guarantee you will not be exposed during your visit.
By purchasing tickets to and/or attending this event at COTA you acknowledge the risks above. You also acknowledge notice of and agree to follow all facility rules, posted instructions, and protocols. You also agree to notify all guests for whom you are purchasing tickets of the instructions and protocols disclosed here, those that may be made publicly available for the event, and those that may be conveyed prior to your party’s arrival. You acknowledge and agree that you are voluntarily assuming all risks of exposure to COVID-19 and agree to release, waive and discharge Circuit of The Americas, its parent entities, and all related and affiliated individuals and entities, and all individuals and entities involved in the event at COTA which you are attending, from all claims directly or indirectly arising from your visit to COTA.

You should evaluate your own risk in determining whether to attend any public event including the event at COTA for which you are purchasing admission.

GIVEAWAYS (INSTAGRAM, WEBSITE, OR IN-PERSON)
ENTRY TO THIS GIVEAWAY CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF ITS TERMS.

From time to time, Circuit of the Americas LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “COTA” or “Sponsor”) may sponsor contests, giveaways, and sweepstakes (each a “Promotion”) on Instagram, on the website circuitoftheamericas.com (the “Website”), or at its physical location at 9201 Circuit of the Americas Blvd, Austin, TX 78617 (the “Facility” and together with Instagram and the Website, the “Forums”). These General Rules shall govern and control your participation in these Promotions. The starting date and time for any such Promotion and the details to enter will be announced on one of COTA’s Instagram feeds, namely @COTA_official, on its Website, or on promotional materials distributed at the Facility. Any Promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with, Instagram or any other forum where the Promotion is housed. To enter a Promotion, respond to COTA’s Promotion offer on the Forums (e.g., by clicking on the promotion link and completing the entry form) and follow all other details to enter. Entries submitted in compliance with the foregoing and all other terms in these General Rules are hereafter “Entries” or, individually, an “Entry.”
PROMOTION LIMITS: COTA may offer similar Promotions from time to time.

As applicable, your Entry must be your own original work or you must have all the rights necessary to post or repost the content. Each Entry must not contain any material that would violate or infringe upon the rights of any person or entity, including without limitation copyrights, trademarks, or rights of privacy or publicity, or that is defamatory, threatening, indecent, obscene or offensive, or that is unlawful, in violation of or contrary to any applicable laws or regulations, or which requires a license from any third party.

If any person appearing in any Entry is under the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence, the written consent and signature of a parent or legal guardian is required.

You agree to reimburse Sponsor in full in respect of any losses, damages, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees that Sponsor may sustain from the breach of a representation or warranty made by you or the use of any rights granted by you to Sponsor hereunder. By entering, you warrant that your Entry complies with the requirements set out above, including those at (i)–(v). By entering, you hereby grant to Sponsor a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable, freely assignable license to reproduce your Entry and to otherwise use, exploit, copy, modify, adapt, edit, publish and display the Entry in any form, manner, venue, media or technology now known or later developed for any and all purposes, including, without limitation, for purposes of commercial or trade purposes, advertising, and promotion as Sponsor and its licensees or assignees determine, without further compensation, notification, or permission. Further, by entering, you hereby waive any moral rights you may have in any Entry in favor of the Sponsor.

HOW TO ENTER: Entry does not require a payment or a purchase of any kind. To enter an Instagram Promotion, an Entrant must have an Instagram account. If you do not have an Instagram account you may create one for free by visiting instagram.com. By submitting your information and creating an account, you agree to the terms of use and privacy policy of Instagram. If you do not agree to such terms of use and privacy policy, you cannot create an account or participate in this Promotion. COTA may refuse Entries from Instagram users with “private” updates (i.e., Entrant has set his or her account so that only people the Entrant has approved can view his or her updates) upon belief that the Entry does not comply with these Terms and Conditions or if it prevents Entrant from receiving communication from COTA regarding the Promotion. If Entrant is using his or her mobile device to enter, charges, including message and data rates, may apply. Entrants should consult their wireless service provider regarding its pricing plans.
Additionally, participants may enter any promotion hosted by COTA by emailing their full name, mailing address, email address, and phone number to [email protected] and making reference to the specific promotion being hosted. Each email entry must be submitted individually, and each individual may only submit one entry.
To enter, respond in the manner specified on the Forum and time period set forth in the offer (the “Entry Period”). Limit one (1) entry per unique Instagram account or email address as applicable and per person per Promotion. Entries generated by script, macro or other automated means are void, as are entries that are illegible, garbled, incomplete, or that contain errors. Normal time, toll, connection and usage rates, if any, charged by your Internet service provider will apply. All entries become the property of COTA. No other entry method will be accepted.
WINNER SELECTION: Winner selection will be based on either (i) a random selection from among all eligible entries conducted by Sponsor or Sponsor’s authorized representative; or (ii) the criteria specified on the COTA Instagram feed, Website, or at the Facility. In the event the winner(s) are selected at random, the odds of winning may depend upon the number of eligible Entries received. In the event the winner(s) are selected based on specific criteria, Sponsor will select a panel of qualified judges (the “Judging Panel”) to evaluate each eligible entry based on the specified criteria, weighted in the Judging Panel’s sole discretion. To be clear, the Judging Panel may review multiple entries that submit similar entries; in such a case, the Judging Panel may consider the timing of such entries in making its decision but will not be bound to designate as a potential winner the first submission of such similar entries. Proof of transmission is not proof of receipt. COTA’s computer is the official time-keeping device for the Promotion and determines the order of receipt of entries. All decisions of COTA are final and binding with respect to all matters related to the Promotion.
WINNER NOTIFICATION/VALIDATION: Prizes are subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these General Rules and any specific rules set forth in the Promotion. By entering this Promotion, each entrant agrees that the Sponsor may contact the entrant using the email address, phone number, social media handle or other contact information provided with the Entry, to administer and fulfill this Promotion. Name of winner (first name / city) will be posted on COTA’s Instagram page and other Instagram pages who are involved in the Promotion as applicable and the Website when available. Entrants may receive notice of prizes by Sponsor or its designated representative via direct message on Instagram. Entrants must adjust their Instagram account settings to allow for receipt of messages from Sponsor. For this purpose, entrants must set their Instagram account settings to “Public” and take any further necessary steps to ensure receipt of any communication from Sponsor. It is entrant’s sole responsibility to take any steps necessary to adjust their account settings to permit entrant to receive messages from Sponsor. Any Entrant’s failure or inability to receive any message(s) from Sponsor for any reason shall be deemed a failure by such entrant to comply with these rules, such entrant shall be disqualified from the Promotion. Similarly, Sponsor shall not be liable for any lost, misdirected, or otherwise unreceived or illegible messages from entrants. In the event of a dispute, the name and mailing address first sent by direct message from the holder of the Instagram account will be deemed to be the Entrant. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, is disqualified, or fails to timely execute and return any required forms, an alternate winner may be selected from among the remaining eligible entries. Entrants are responsible for the payment of all taxes which may result from participation in a Promotion. Prizes will be fulfilled approximately 4-6 weeks after winner validation unless a different time period is specified in the Promotion. Any winner later determined to be ineligible may be required to return his/her prize. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER UNLESS AND UNTIL COTA HAS COMPLETED ITS VERIFICATION OF ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND ENTRANT COMPLIES WITH THESE GENERAL RULES AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE RULES.
PRIZES: Prizes may consist of COTA merchandise, signed COTA merchandise, event tickets, in-person experiences, or other rewards determined by COTA in its sole discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change, in which case a prize of equal value may be substituted at COTA’s sole discretion. Entrants may waive the right to receive a prize. Prizes consist only of the items listed by COTA and are non-assignable, non-transferable, with no cash redemption or substitution except at COTA’s sole discretion. COTA will determine all prize details (brand, model, size, etc.) in its sole discretion. Entrants may be required to provide their valid Social Security Number to COTA for tax purposes and/or complete an IRS W-9 form in order to receive a prize. Entrants are solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes on a prize’s value and, as applicable, will be issued an IRS Form 1099 based on the prize’s value determined by COTA. Prizes not claimed by eligible Entrants in accordance with these General Rules will not be sent to Entrants and will remain the property of COTA. COTA may require prize winners to complete, sign, and return an Affidavit of Eligibility/Liability Release/Publicity Release and other applicable documents. All required documents must be completed and returned to COTA within a time period specified on the Promotion. Odds of winning depend on the number and timing of entries received in each Promotion.

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR PARTICIPATION IN A PROMOTION, INCLUDING RECEIPT, USE, REDEMPTION OF ANY PRIZE, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
