(excluding Colorado and Puerto Rico) who are eighteen (18) years of age or older and are the named recipient (or otherwise eligible co-worker) of a direct mail piece or email inviting entry in the Sweepstakes ("Invitation") are eligible to enter.

HOW TO ENTER: During the Promotion Period, visit the designated Sweepstakes Web site, www.twcbc.com/sweepstakes (the "Web site"), register for the Sweepstakes by inputting all required fields (including agreement to all Sweepstakes-related terms and conditions), and complete a short survey. Upon completing the survey, you will automatically receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. The Web site's database clock will be the official time keeper for online entries in this Sweepstakes. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor's satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible. The Promotion Entities shall not be responsible for incorrect or inaccurate entry information whether caused by Internet users or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes or by any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the entries in the Sweepstakes. The Promotion Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of entries. Limit one (1) entry per eligible person and/or per e-mail address during the Promotion Period.
WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: At the end of the Promotion Period, the prize winner will be randomly selected from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. The potential prize winner will be notified by telephone and/or mail and/or e-mail, using contact information provided or collected at the time of entry. Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within seventy-two (72) hours of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will attempt to contact up to three (3) potential winners of a prize in accordance with the above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it remains unclaimed. If any potential prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such potential prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate prize winner may be selected. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
PRIZE/APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE: Two (2) Grand Prizes are available. Each Grand Prize consists of a $500 Best Buy Gift Card. Gift card is subject to the terms and conditions imposed by issuer. In the event a winner's corporate policy does not allow the acceptance of prizes, the designated winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected. It is the sole responsibility of the winner to determine if he/she is able to receive the prize.
GENERAL PRIZE CONDITIONS: No cash alternative or prize substitutions will be allowed, except Sponsor reserves the right to substitute prize(s) of comparable value if a prize listed is unavailable for any reason. Prize winners shall be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize. Any potential prize winner may be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release (collectively, "Prize Claim Documents"). If winner fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents within five (5) days of prize notification (or a shorter time if required by exigencies), winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected.

Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant's sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. These Official Rules cannot be modified or amended in any way except in a written document issued by a duly authorized representative of Sponsor.
