All Entries submitted are collectively “Sweepstakes Entries” and individually a “Sweepstakes Entry.” Eligible participants having submitted a Sweepstakes Entry are individually referred to as an “Entrant” and collectively, “Entrants.”
Maximum of one Entry per person. Each participant must submit a Sweepstakes Entry on his/her own behalf. The individual who submitted the Sweepstakes Entry shall be designated as the official Entrant in the Sweepstakes, regardless of any other individuals featured in the Sweepstakes Entry, and the official Entrant shall be the only individual eligible for any resulting prize awarded. Any Sweepstakes Entry submitted (a) on behalf of another individual, (b) using another person’s name or Instagram account, or (c) with any false information, including misrepresentation of age, will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute as to any Sweepstakes Entry, the authorized account holder of the Instagram account used to enter the Sweepstakes will be deemed to be the Entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned to the Instagram account (as assigned by Instagram, as the case may be) of the account name used to post the Entry submission. Proof of being the authorized account holder may be required. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than one Entry by any means, including use of multiple/different social media handles, identities, or other method will void all of participant’s entries. Use of any automated system (including but not limited to third-party sweepstakes/contest entry services) to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification and all such entries will be deemed void. Any questions regarding the number of Entries submitted or the identity of an authorized account holder shall be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
Each Entrant agrees that their Sweepstakes Entry may be viewed by the public. However, the fact that a Sweepstakes Entry is viewable by the public does not constitute any representation as to Sweepstakes eligibility or notification as a potential prize winner. Each Entrant agrees that s/he may be contacted, recorded and/or broadcasted by Sponsor, and that his/her Sweepstakes Entry may be used, promoted, released, broadcasted, or published by Sponsor in any manner related to the promotion of the Sweepstakes without additional approval, authorization, or compensation. Receipt of Sweepstakes Entry will not be acknowledged by Sponsor. Sponsor may (but is in no way obligated to) publish, display, promote, or utilize your Sweepstakes Entry in any manner of its choosing in relation to the promotion of the Sweepstakes or Sponsor.
By participating and submitting a Sweepstakes Entry, Entrant agrees that Sponsor and Released Parties are authorized to contact entrant via email, mail, phone or any other form of media to make contestant aware of information pertinent to the Sweepstakes, and to distribute information regarding the Sponsor(s) featured products, discounts, special events or promotional offers. Contestants may opt-out of any further email communication at any time by clicking the UNSUBSCRIBE link provided in all promotional email messages from Cane’s and following the opt-out instructions. Any available opt-in opportunities are not required to enter the Sweepstakes and checking the opt-in boxes will not improve your chances of winning.

During prize winner notification, a Potential Winner must verify his/her eligibility, and indicate a willingness and ability to accept the prize. Potential Winner may then receive official notification via email delivery. If a Potential Winner does not meet the eligibility requirements, or elects to decline the prize, s/he will be disqualified and, at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate Potential Winner will be selected from among all remaining Entries received as set forth above and notified per the procedures outlined above, time permitting. Any disqualified Entrant will not receive any alternate prize substitution or compensation of any kind. There is a maximum of 1 prize per person in this Sweepstakes. Decisions of the Sponsor/Administrator in the selection and determination of prize winner and all matters relating to this Sweepstakes are final and binding.
