Any prize details not specified above will be determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, including but not limited to models, sizing, color, and other elements. 

Prizes are not transferable, non-exchangeable, not for resale, and non-refundable. Winners are not entitled to receive any payment for any possible difference between the actual value of the prizes and the estimated value of the prizes listed. Prizes must be accepted as awarded. 

No cash or other substitution may be made, except by the Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute a prize with another prize of equal or greater value if the prize is not available for any reason as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. 

The winner is responsible for any fees associated with mounting, assembling, putting any prizing together and paying taxes, filing appropriate tax documents declaring the value of the prize, and any and all other costs and expenses including but not limited to customs and shipping fees that may be incurred on delivery of their prizes, not listed above or on the Promoter’s web site. 


What winner may be required to do? 
Except where prohibited, a potential winner may be required to complete and return a Declaration and Release and/or tax form W-9, if applicable, within five (5) days of being notified. If a potential winner declines to accept the prize, has violated any of these Official Rules, or fails to sign and return the required documents within the required time period, then an alternate entrant will be selected in his/her place in a random drawing of remaining entries. 

Other terms 
By participating in the drawing, entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the determinations of the Promoter, which shall be final and binding. Unless prohibited by law, entrants agree to allow the use and disclosure of their name, voice, city/state of residence, photograph, and/or likeness for advertising and/or trade and/or any other purpose in any media publication, chapter communication, sponsor communication or format now or hereafter known without further compensation, permission or notification. The promoter will use the entrant’s personal information only for identified purposes and protect the entrant’s personal information. 

This benefit is subject to federal, provincial, state, and local/municipal laws and regulations and is void where prohibited by law. In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the benefit is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but not limited to fraud, virus, other technical problem, or any other cause that corrupts or interferes with the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Membership Drive, the Sponsor and Promoter may, in their sole discretion, either: (a) suspend the promotion to address the impairment and then resume the promotion in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules; or (b) award the prize at random from among the eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment. 

The Sponsor and Promoter reserve the right in their sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the drawing or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in a disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the drawing may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor and Promoter reserve the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Failure by the Sponsor or Promoter to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Sponsor and Promoter reserve the right to modify or cancel this promotion at any time and, in the event of cancellation, substitute another in its place. 

Participation is limited to those individuals who provide the required information to be eligible in the drawing, as stated above. By participating in the promotion, constituents agree to release and hold harmless the Promoter, the Sponsor, and any related organizations’ employees or volunteers, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Released Parties”) from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in the drawing or receipt or use of any prize, including, but not limited to: (a) unauthorized human intervention in the drawing; (b) technical errors related to computers, servers, providers, or telephone or network lines; (c) printing errors; (d) lost, late, postage-due, misdirected, or undeliverable mail; (e) errors in the administration of the promotion or the processing of entries; or (f) injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the promotion or receipt or use of any prize. 

Should tax liability arise, then it will be the responsibility of the winner to notify their own Government’s relevant tax department. The Promoter takes no responsibility or liability for taxation or for any other costs incurred in connection with the prizes received in this Membership Drive. 

Entrant further agrees that in any cause of action, the Released Parties' liability will be limited to the cost of entering and participating in the promotion, and in no event shall the Released Parties be liable for attorney’s fees. Entrant waives the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential, direct, or indirect damages. The Sponsor(s) listed and participating are not registered charities and no tax receipts will be issued for donations made through the Membership Drive. 

Disputes 
Except where prohibited, the entrant agrees that any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of, or connected with, the promotion or any prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the appropriate court located in the State of Colorado. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of these Official Rules, the entrant’s rights, and obligations, or the rights and obligations of the Promoter or Sponsor in connection with the promotion, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado.

To obtain the name of the winner, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to IMBA 2024 Annual Membership Drive, PO Box 20280, Boulder, CO 80308.
