Midwest Tape will contact all winners by email to confirm that they have won and are entitled to a Prize. Midwest Tape is not responsible for digital communications that are undeliverable because of any filtering of any kind, insufficient space in Your account, or any other failure beyond its reasonable control. In the event of a dispute with respect to entries received from more than one user having the same email address/account, the authorized subscriber of the account in question at the time of entry will be deemed the proper entrant. Additionally, all winners will be posted on Midwest Tape’s website.

Each winner must show picture identification to claim his or her Prize. Any potential winner will forfeit his or her Prize if he or she: (1) fails to respond in a timely fashion to any of Midwest Tape’s requests for information or signatures with respect to the Contest or the Prize; (2) cannot be reached at the information provided by such individual; (3) rejects the Prize (or it is returned undeliverable through no fault of Midwest Tape); or (4) is disqualified from the Contest for any reason. In the event of any forfeiture hereunder, an alternate winner will be selected.

Prize winners are solely responsible for all applicable: (1) federal, state, and local taxes; and (2) out-of-pocket expenses, associated with Prize acceptance and use.

Prizes will not be substituted by Midwest Tape for cash or other merchandise pursuant to any Prize winner’s request. Midwest Tape, however, reserves the right to substitute alternate Prizes of comparable or equal value in its sole discretion.
