HOW TO ENTER:  To enter the Sweepstakes, visit http://taylormadegolf.com/contest-taylormade/sldr-sweepstakes.html (the “Website”) and complete and submit the required information on the entry form.  Limit one (1) entry per person.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF ENTRY:  The Website database clock is the official timekeeper for the Sweepstakes.  All entry information and materials become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.  Proof of entering information at the Website is not considered proof of delivery to or receipt by Sponsor of such entry.  Sponsor may engage a third party application provider (each, a “Third Party Application Provider”) to administer certain aspects of the Sweepstakes, including without limitation, the online collection of entry information.  The Third Party Application Provider will provide your personally identifiable information to Sponsor, who except as set forth herein will use such information in accordance with its online privacy policy, located at http://taylormadegolf.com/privacy/privacy,en_US,pg.html and the Third Party Application Provider may also use your information for its own independent purposes in accordance with its own independent privacy practices.  Sponsor is not responsible for the storage or any use of your entry information by any Third Party Application Provider.  You should carefully review the privacy practices of any third party to determine their specific privacy policies.  Any communication or information transmitted to Sponsor by e-mail or otherwise is and will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.

Entry must be made by the entrant in the manner described in these Official Rules.  Entries made by any other individual or any entity will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Sweepstakes.  Tampering with the entry process, the Website or the operation of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to the use of any device to automate the entry process, is prohibited and any entries deemed by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, to have been submitted in this manner will be void.  In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.  The Promotion Entities shall not be responsible for incorrect or inaccurate entry information whether caused by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes or by any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the entries in the Sweepstakes.  The Promotion Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of entries.

WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION:  On or about 7/31, Sponsor (or its designee) will conduct a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period to select one (2) winners. Attempts to notify potential winners will be made using the contact information provided at entry.  Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winnerfor any reason.  If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential prize winner does not respond within five (5) days of the first notification attempt, or if a prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential prize winner, such potential prize winner will forfeit the applicable prize and an alternate prize winner may be selected.  If any potential prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines the applicable prize for any reason prior to award, such potential prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected. Sponsor may successively attempt to contact up to two (2) potential prize winners in accordance with such procedure, and if there is still no confirmed prize winner after such attempts have been made, if any, the applicable prize may go unawarded. 

PRIZES/ODDS: Two (2) winners will receive one (1) SLDR driver (Approximate Retail Value $399).  Actual odds of winning the prize depend on the number of eligible entries received.

GENERAL PRIZE CONDITIONS:  No cash alternative or substitution of prizes will be allowed, except Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute prizes of comparable value if any prize listed is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason.  Prizes will be awarded only if the potential prize winner fully complies with these Official Rules.  All portions of the prize(s) are non-assignable and non-transferable.  Any prizes pictured in point-of-sale, online, television and print advertising, promotional packaging, and other Sweepstakes materials are for illustrative purposes only.  All details and other restrictions of the prize(s) not specified in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.  EACH PRIZE WINNER SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND/OR LOCAL TAXES, AND THE REPORTING CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND FOR ANY OTHER FEES OR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPLICABLE PRIZE.  ALL PRIZES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND SPONSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND/OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.  The potential prize winner may be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents").  If any potential winner fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents within five (5) days of prize notification, the winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected.
