For certainty, if the winner selects or purchases or finances a vehicle with a purchase price less than $20,000, then he/she will not be awarded the cash equivalent of the difference under any circumstances. This Contest does not include past transactions. The Prize must be accepted as awarded with no substitutions except by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. The Prize is not transferable, not for resale and has no cash surrender or redemption value.

On or about May 30, 2023 (the “Draw Date”) at the Sponsor's office located at 165 Galaxy Blvd., 2nd floor, Etobicoke, Ontario, M9W 0C8, one (1) eligible entrant will be selected for the Prize by random draw from among all eligible entries received in accordance with these Rules during the Contest Period.

The Sponsor or its designated representative will make five (5) attempts to contact the selected entrant by telephone or email (using the information provided at the time of entry) within ten (10) business days of the Draw Date. If the selected entrant cannot be contacted within five (5) attempts or ten (10) business days of the Draw Date (whichever occurs first), or there is a return of any notification as undeliverable; then that selected entrant will be disqualified and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to randomly select an alternate eligible entrant from among the remaining eligible entries.

If the selected entrant: (a) fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question; (b) fails to return the properly executed Contest documents within the specified time; and/or (c) cannot accept the Prize for any reason; then he/she will be disqualified (and will forfeit all rights to the Prize) and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to randomly select an alternate eligible entrant from among the remaining eligible entries received in accordance with these Rules during the Contest Period (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to such newly selected entrant).
