Winner Selection: One (1) potential
winner will be chosen in a random drawing approximately three (3) days
after Sweepstakes-End from all eligible entries received during the

It is a potential winner’s responsibility to respond to an email
message notification within two (2) business days of email send-time.
Failure to do so will indicate definitively that the prize has been

form of active or passive filtering of any kind or insufficient space
in entrant’s email or phone account to receive email messages. Should a
greater number of prize claims be received because of printing,
emailing, phoning, messaging, programming errors or for any reason
whatsoever, only the prizes and the values stated in these Official
Rules will be awarded in random drawings.

and non-transferable and no prize substitution, exchange or cash

These Official Rules are governed by the laws of Illinois, without
regard to its choice of law provisions. If any provision of the
Sweepstakes shall be deemed to violate any federal, state or local law,
regulation or ordinance, it shall be amended to conform to such law and
all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. If
Rocketmiles is required by applicable federal, state or local law,
regulation or ordinance, or by action of an administrative agency to
cease offering the Sweepstakes in any jurisdiction, Rocketmiles reserves
the right to (i) terminate the Sweepstakes in such jurisdiction in its
entirety, and/or (ii) cancel and remove from participation in the
Sweepstakes any and/or all entries from entrants residing in such
jurisdiction, without penalty and without obligation to any Sweepstakes
entrants. Rocketmiles’s failure to enforce any term of these Official
Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Taxes:
Any valuation of the prizes stated above is based on available
information provided to the Rocketmiles. The value of the prizes will be
taxable to winner as income. All federal, state and local taxes and
any other costs and expenses associated with the acceptance and/or use
of prize not specifically provided for in these Official Rules are
solely the winner’s responsibility. Winner is solely responsible for
reporting and paying any and all applicable taxes. Winner must provide
the Rocketmiles with valid identification and a valid taxpayer
identification number or social security number before any prize will be
awarded.
Acceptance of the prize constitutes permission to use the
winner’s name, voice and likeness and any and all identifying
characteristics (excluding address, phone and email address) for
promotional, advertising and publicity purposes by Rocketmiles and Head
for Points (including, without limitation, posting to the Rocketmiles
and Head for Points websites and a Sweepstakes winners list); this
permission includes, but is not limited to, the taking of photographs
and/or videos by Rocketmiles’s or Head for Points’s
photographer/videographer for publicity purposes, without further
consent or compensation, unless prohibited by law and winner agrees to
execute any and all documents requested by Rocketmiles to convey such
rights to own all the results thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to obligate Rocketmiles or Head for Points to make use of any
of the rights granted herein and winner waives any right to inspect or
approve any such use of any and every nature and kind. The Sweepstakes
Entities shall not be responsible for technical, pictorial,
typographical or editorial errors or omissions in any marketing
materials or these Official Rules.
Entrant agrees that any and all disputes, claims and
causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes or
the prize awarded and all issues and questions concerning the validity,
interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules shall be
resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and
exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in the location of
Rocketmiles’s choosing and all entrants agree to Rocketmiles’s choice
of venue for any legal action without regard to conflict of laws
doctrine. Any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to
actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with
entering this Sweepstakes and never shall include consequential,
incidental, multiplied or punitive damages, and in no event attorneys’
or “experts’ fees.” Some jurisdictions will not recognize the exclusive
jurisdiction of another jurisdiction and/or do not allow the
limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential
damages, so the above may not apply to you.
