Message and data rates may apply to each image sent or received. Other charges may apply; check your mobile plan for rates/details. Participation may not be possible on all carriers. Please note that proof of image and #lonelybrand tag does not constitute proof of delivery/receipt. Limit one image entry per Instagram account. If more than one (1) entry is received from the same person, only the first entry will be considered valid and Sponsor may choose to disqualify all entries submitted by that person at Sponsor’s sole discretion. For purposes of this Sweepstakes, a “day” is the 24-hour period between 12:00:00 AM CT and 11:59:59 PM CT. Sponsor’s computer is the official time keeping device for this Sweepstakes.
- WINNER SELECTION/NOTIFICATION: Winners will be selected in a random drawing conducted on or about 06/29/12 from among all eligible entries received by lonelybrand, LLC, whose decisions are final on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible entries received. All prizes will be awarded assuming sufficient eligible entries are received and prizes are properly claimed. The potential winners will be notified through Instagram within two (2) days after drawing date.

Failure to provide all required information and a signature on the documents will result in forfeiture of winner’s right to claim a prize and may be awarded to an alternate winner, if time permits. The potential Grand Prize winners may be subject to a background check before the prize will be awarded; if a potential winner has been convicted of a felony or any other crime that would reflect negatively on the Sponsor, the potential winner may be disqualified and the prize will be awarded to an alternate winner.
