LOVE YOUR HOME OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES RULES
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN A PRIZE. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF WINNING.

4. WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION. On or about February 23, 2017, one (1) winner will be selected via random-chance drawing from among all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. The winner will be notified by email by February 24, 2017 and must respond via email within 7 days of such date to confirm receipt and acceptance of the prize. Sponsor is not responsible for winner’s delay or failure to receive notification for any reason, including an inactive email account, technical difficulties associated therewith, or winner’s failure to adequately monitor an email account. The winner will be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release (unless prohibited) (collectively an "Affidavit"), which must be received by Sponsor within five (5) days of the date on the notice and prior to the delivery of any prize. If a winner cannot be contacted, does not respond to the notification, fails to execute and return the Affidavit or other documentation required by Sponsor within the required time period, is found to be ineligible, or if a prize is refused or returned as undeliverable, Sponsor reserves the right to deem such winner to have forfeited the prize, and Sponsor may select an alternate winner in a second random-chance drawing or elect not to award a prize at all. All decisions and selections are final and binding.
