3.   RANDOM DRAWING: Following the End Date, two hundred and fifty random winners for all Prizes will be selected. Decisions of FANCY SPRINKLES are final and binding in all respects. FANCY SPRINKLES will notify the winners by email. If a winner receives such an email does not respond to FANCY SPRINKLES’s notification within 72 hours or is unwilling to or cannot accept the Prize, the Prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected from the Sweepstakes entrants. If an entrant is deemed ineligible, an alternate winner may be selected from the entry pool.

No more than the advertised number of prizes will be awarded. At the sole discretion of FANCY SPRINKLES, disqualification, forfeiture, and the selection of an alternate winner may result from any of the following: (1) a winner’s failure to respond to winner notification within three days of transmission; (2) the return of a notification that an email was undeliverable after one attempt; (3) a winner’s failure to provide FANCY SPRINKLES with satisfactory proof of age, identity, and residency within three days of initial winner notification; (4) a winner’s failure to execute and return an affidavit of Eligibility/Liability/Publicity Release or requested tax information or W9 within three days of its transmission; or (5) any other non-compliance with these Official Rules.

8. GOVERNING LAW: In the event of a dispute between you and FANCY SPRINKLES, either may choose to resolve the dispute by binding arbitration, as described below, instead of in court. Any claim (except for a claim challenging the validity or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including the Class Action Waiver) may be resolved by binding arbitration if either side requests it. THIS MEANS IF EITHER YOU OR FANCY SPRINKLES CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS ARE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Any arbitration will take place in California within one hundred miles of San Jose, California by a single arbitrator, and will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS pursuant to the rules of the body conducting the arbitration. ARBITRATION AND/OR ANY COURT ACTION MUST BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS NEITHER YOU NOR FANCY SPRINKLES MAY JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION OR COURT BY OR AGAINST OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. Only a court, and not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity and effect of the Class Action Waiver. Even if all parties have opted to litigate a claim in court, you or FANCY SPRINKLES may elect arbitration with respect to any claim made by a new party or any new claims later asserted in that lawsuit. FANCY SPRINKLES will not choose to arbitrate any claim you bring in small claims court. However, if such a claim is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court, FANCY SPRINKLES may then choose to arbitrate and you agree that in so doing, FANCY SPRINKLES will not have waived any rights. Any action brought in a court against FANCY SPRINKLES shall be brought in the State Courts of California in Santa Clara County or in the federal court in the Northern District of California and you and FANCY SPRINKLES both agree to be subject to personal jurisdiction in the State of California. Except where otherwise indicated, the laws of the United States and California govern this contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may pursue injunctive or other equitable remedies in the above-identified courts and such claims shall not be subject to arbitration.
9. SEVERABILITY: If any provision(s) of these Official Rules are held to be invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect.
