The substitute Prize, if required, will be of equal or greater value.

Further Grand Prize Details:
The Sponsor will communicate with the Prize Winner to determine the Spa Location. The final decision for the Spa Location will be at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. The Spa Location must be able to accept gift certificates or otherwise accept pre-payment of services by a third party, in this case from the Sponsor.

The Prize Gift Certificate may or may not be a physical item. The chosen Spa Location may retain the value of each Gift Certificate in an account on file rather than providing a physical, tangible object.

The Prize consists only of the components expressly stated above and does not include any additional expenses. All Gift Certificates must be redeemed at the same Spa Location.

Additional expenses that are not included in the Grand Prize include but are not limited to, ground transportation, flights, flight connections, departure or airport taxes, meals, beverages, room service, gratuities, taxes, insurance, medical insurance and expenses, duties, levies, visas, passports, and health documents required by law, personal expenses, car rentals, gas, car insurance, items of a personal nature and all other expenses not specifically included above as part of the Grand Prize package and are the sole responsibility of the Grand Prize winner and each Prize Guest.

Contest Entities are not responsible in the event that the Prize Winner or any Prize Guest are refused entry into the Spa Location or requested to leave the Spa Location for whatever reason, and in such event, any unused portion of the Grand Prize will be forfeited.

The Prize Draws:
A random draw will be performed after 11:59:59 pm on the close of the Contest Period to determine the official prize winner (“Prize Winner”). A representative of the Sponsor will notify the selected entrant through direct messenger on Instagram. If a selected entrant does not reply within three (3) days or if any Contest-related communication is rejected, faulty, or returned as undeliverable, that selected entrant may be disqualified and another entry will be randomly selected.

In order to be declared an official Prize Winner, the selected entrant must first correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question. If the selected entrant incorrectly answers the mathematical skill-testing question, then another Prize Winner will be selected and will be required to correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question. This process will be repeated until a selected Prize Winner is able to correctly answer such question.

The Sponsor reserves the right to cancel or suspend this Contest should a virus, bug, or other cause beyond its reasonable control corrupts the security or proper administration of the Contest. Entrants agree to abide by these Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final.

The Prize Winner will be required to promptly sign and return to the Sponsor a declaration of eligibility and a release of liability in favour of the Contest Entities or that Prize Winner’s Prize will be forfeited.

13. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES INDIVIDUALLY AND PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. Subject as set out below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of, or related to the Contest or these Rules and the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither you nor the Sponsor is required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable or other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. The Supreme Court of British Columbia, Vancouver Registry, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit not subject to arbitration. You and the Sponsor will (a) notify each other of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises and (b) attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration. Arbitration will be administered by the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre (“BCICAC”) (or its successor) pursuant to its Domestic Commercial Arbitration Shorter Rules of Procedure, and conducted by a single arbitrator in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, unless the arbitrator determines differently. The appointing authority will be the BCICAC. The language of the arbitration will be English. Except as expressly provided herein, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in Court. The Contest and these Rules, including any disputes hereunder, will be governed, construed and interpreted under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, including the federal laws of Canada applicable in that Province, without giving effect to that Province’s conflict of laws principles.  Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in Court, you and the Sponsor will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or other representative action or proceeding.
