To claim the prize, the winner may be required to provide proof of identity, sign an affidavit of eligibility/liability/terms and liability and conditions/publicity releases (“Release”), and complete IRS Form W-9, and any other forms required by law. In the event that the winner fails to pay the required taxes, the car will not be delivered and the winner will not be eligible for any prize. In such event, another winner will be selected.
TRD will make all reasonable efforts to deliver the raffle prize vehicle as described in these Rules to the winner within 60 days of the November 3, 2012 prize drawing. However, if there are no such vehicles available within a 100 mile radius of Baltimore, MD, then TRD and delivery dealer agree to provide the winner with the winner’s choice of an equally priced or more expensive substitute vehicle, and apply the Grand Prize vehicle’s full MSRP value against the purchase of the substitute vehicle. The winner will be required to pay any price difference between the Nissan Rogue, MSRP ($24,520) and the substitute vehicle’s MSRP.
The depiction of the prize vehicle in any advertising or promotional materials may not reflect the actual vehicle delivered to the winner. However, every reasonable effort is being made to award the exact vehicle displayed at events, in raffle promotions, and on the raffle website.
