Prizes/awards of points available in the Promotion are randomly time seeded throughout the Promotion Period and awarded to the person who plays on or after the time the prize/award of points is randomly seeded. The time of day when you play the game during the Promotion Period, as recorded by the Web site technology, and the number of Game Plays received will solely determine whether or not you are a Potential Winner (as defined below).
After clicking the link to play the Promotion, a winning message will be displayed if you are selected as a potential winner (each a “Potential Winner” and, if verified, “Winner”). Potential Winners of Prizes will be sent a “Play Receipt”, including a unique Security Identification Code (SIC), to the email address provided in the registration process within approximately three (3) to five (5) business days (to allow for verification of Game Plays). The Play Receipt and SIC will confirm the results of the applicable Game Play. Please keep this email for reference purposes. If you are not a Potential Winner, a losing message will be displayed on-screen after clicking the link to play the Promotion.
Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same Microsoft Rewards Account. Any attempt by any participant to use multiple/different Microsoft Rewards Accounts will void that participant's Game Plays and participant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of disqualification, any prize/award of points that participant might have been otherwise entitled to will not be awarded.
In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of a participant, the Game Play will be deemed to have been made by the “authorized account holder” of the email address associated with the Microsoft Rewards Account. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access or online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the registered email address. Each participant may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder. If you do not have Internet access via a personal computer, your local library or Internet café may be able to provide access to the Internet and a number of Internet service providers and other companies offer free email accounts.
