3. Prize: One (1) “Grand Prize” is available to be won, comprising a one-year supply of the Grand Prize winner’s preferred Bang® flavor, comprised of one case delivered each month (Estimated ARV of one year’s supply is $323.88).
4. Winner Selection and Notification: On or about January 5, 2023, the potential “Winner” of the Grand Prize will be determined via a random drawing from all Eligible Entries received. Entrants are not required to be present for the drawing to win. The potential Winner will be notified within three (3) business days of the drawing by email (at the email address provided with the entry) and will be required to confirm his/her e-mail address where the Grand Prize will be delivered. A prize won by an Entrant will be awarded to the authorized account holder of the e-mail address or telephone number submitted with the entry regardless of the individual who submitted the winning entry. If a potential Winner cannot be reached after a reasonable effort has been exerted or fails to respond within three (3) days of the date of notification, the potential Winner forfeits the prize, and an alternate potential Winner will be randomly drawn from all remaining Eligible Entries. If the alternate potential Winner is unable to accept the prize, the prize is forfeited and another alternate potential Winner may be randomly drawn from all remaining Eligible Entries.
5. Prize Winner Verification: Within three (3) days of being notified of being a potential Winner of the Grand Prize, the Winner will be required to complete, sign, and return documentation required by Bang Energy — including a notarized Affidavit of Eligibility, release of liability, and a publicity release form (except where prohibited). Provided that a potential Winner is in compliance with the Official Rules and after having successfully proven eligibility and provided any documentation required by Bang Energy, the potential Winner will be determined to be a Winner. Bang Energy expressly reserves the right to delay the announcement of the Winner for any reason it deems necessary. In addition, Bang Energy reserves the right to select an alternate Winner in the event that any potential Winner fails to comply with these Official Rules.
If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim a prize in excess of the one (1) Grand Prize available as set forth in these Official Rules, the Winner of such Prize may be selected in a random drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such prize. Inclusion in such drawing shall be each Entrant’s sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. Bang Energy is not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential Winner.
BANG ENERGY MAY, AT ITS OPTION, CONDUCT A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK ON THE POTENTIAL WINNER. BANG ENERGY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DISQUALIFY ANY POTENTIAL WINNER ON THE BASIS OF ANYTHING CONTAINED IN, LEARNED, OR OBTAINED AS A RESULT OF SUCH BACKGROUND CHECK. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE POTENTIAL WINNER WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN WAIVER FORMS AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF PERSONAL AND CRIMINAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO SPONSOR, AND TO COMPLETE A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND QUESTIONNAIRE TO REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR THE SWEEPSTAKES.
6. Liability Release and Indemnity: By entering the Sweepstakes, Entrant agrees that Bang Energy and each of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, retailers, distributors and representatives are indemnified, released and will be held harmless by Entrant from any and all liability, for any damages, injuries or losses of any kind to person(s), including death, or property, arising directly or indirectly from the acceptance, possession, misuse or use of a prize.

Entrants assume all liability for an injury or damage caused, or claimed to be caused, by participation in this Sweepstakes, the use of any Sweepstakes website(s), or the acceptance, receipt, or use of any prize or prize component. Entrants further agree that in any cause of action, Bang Energy’s liability will be limited to the cost of entering and participating in the Sweepstakes, and in no event shall the Sweepstakes Entities be liable for attorney’s fees.
Bang Energy assumes no responsibility for and will disqualify entries that are: stolen, late, lost, illegible, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, altered, tampered with, unauthorized, fraudulent, damaged, destroyed, delayed, misdirected, not delivered, not received, or that have incorrect or inaccurate entry information, whether caused by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in Sweepstakes, or by any human, mechanical or electronic error that may occur in the processing of the entries in Sweepstakes, or other errors appearing within the Official Rules or in any Sweepstakes related advertisements. Bang Energy assumes no responsibility for any typographical or other error in the printing of the offer, administration of Sweepstakes, errors in processing entries, identifying the Winner, in the announcement of the prizes and Winners, the delivery of the prizes, any problems or technical malfunction of any telephone network or lines, computer systems, online systems, servers or providers, computer equipment, software, failure of any e-mail or players on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or on any website, or any combination thereof, including, without limitation, any injury or damage to Entrant’s or any other person’s computer system or software related to or resulting from participation in, uploading any materials or downloading any materials in the Sweepstakes.

ANY VIOLATION OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES BY A WINNER WILL RESULT IN SUCH WINNER’S DISQUALIFICATION AS A WINNER OF THE SWEEPSTAKES AND ALL PRIVILEGES AS A WINNER WILL BE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED.
