Grand Prize Winner must provide Sponsor with three (3) possible travel dates with at least fifteen (15) days advance notice prior to the earliest potential date of departure; however, Sponsor’s decision as to actual travel dates is final and binding.

If potential Grand Prize Winner is unavailable to travel during designated timeframe for any reason, the Grand Prize will be forfeited without compensation of any kind and an alternate Grand Prize Winner may be selected from among all remaining eligible entries in a random drawing (time permitting). Travel must be made through Sponsor’s agent and Sponsor shall determine airline and flight itinerary in its sole discretion. All expenses not specifically provided for herein are the Winner’s sole responsibility, including but not limited to: round trip transportation between the Grand Prize Winner’s residence and Airport of Origin (or round-trip transportation between Grand Prize Winner’s residence and the hotel if winner resides on the Island of O’ahu), alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, fax, food, gratuities and tips, insurance, laundry service, merchandise, parking, room service, service charges, excursions, souvenirs, spa services, telephone calls and some additional taxes which are not expressly included in the trip.

Final actual value at the time of booking and travel may be substantially more or less depending on dates of travel, point of origin and ticket availability. Winner will not receive cash or any other form of compensation if actual travel costs are less than the prize ARV stated in these Official Rules for any reason whatsoever. Some restrictions apply. Airline tickets issued in conjunction with the Grand Prize are not eligible for frequent flyer miles, and no code share flights may be used. Sponsor reserves the right to structure the travel route, on a Sponsor-selected carrier for air travel from a major airport near Winner’s residence, in its sole discretion. Sponsor shall not be responsible for any cancellations, delays, diversions or substitution or any act or omissions whatsoever by the air carriers, hotels and/or other transportation companies or any other persons providing any of these services or accommodations. Sponsor shall not be liable for any loss or damage to baggage.

Guest(s) (if a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, his/her parent or legal guardian) must sign a Release and Indemnification and a Publicity Release (where allowed by law), prior to issuance of travel documents. If any guest is a minor, the Grand Prize Winner or one of the Grand Prize Winner’s other allotted guests must be such minor’s parent or legal guardian. If Winner elects to travel without a guest(s), no additional compensation will be awarded. Winner and his or her companions must travel together on the same itinerary and possess all required travel documents including a valid photo ID. Photo identification and credit card or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges (e.g., room service, use of telephone/IT services, laundry and all other optional extra services not provided in the Grand Prize).

Grand Prize is subject to availability. Sponsor is not responsible for cancellation or for other circumstances that make it impractical or impossible to fulfill these elements of the prize. If it becomes impractical or impossible to fulfill the elements of the prize that have no approximate retail value, Sponsor’s only obligation will be to provide the remainder, if any, of the Grand Prize.

10. DISPUTES; ARBITRATION/CHOICE OF LAW: Except where prohibited, Entrants agree that: (a) any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes, or the awarding of prizes/determination of Winner, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by arbitration pursuant to the Rules of JAMS, then effective (notwithstanding the foregoing, Entrant shall not be precluded from seeking relief in small claims court for disputes/claims within the scope of the jurisdiction of small claims court and any remedies available to entrant under applicable federal, state or local law remain available to entrant and are not waived pursuant to this section); (b) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Sweepstakes but in no event attorneys’ fees; and (c) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain awards for and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased and any and all rights to injunctive relief.
