During the Entry Period visit www.directauto.com/carsweepstakes and register with your First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Email Address, State, Zip Code, and answer the required survey questions. You will receive one (1) entry in the Sweepstakes for registering. Limit of one (1) entry per person for the Sweepstakes regardless of methods of entry. Subsequent attempts made by the same individual to submit multiple entries by using multiple or false contact information, accounts or otherwise may result in the entrant being disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification and all associated entries will be void. Released Parties (as defined below) are not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, undelivered or misdirected entries, which will be disqualified. All entries become the sole and exclusive property of Sponsor. Entries submitted by entrants who do not meet the eligibility requirements (including all requirements with respect to age and residence) are void. All materials submitted become the physical property of Sponsor and will not be returned. In the event of a dispute over the identity of an online entrant, entry will be deemed submitted by the registered account holder of the email address associated with the entry provided that person is eligible. Winner may be required to show proof of being the registered account holder. Registered account holder is defined as the person assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses. In the event 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. Those who do not follow all the instructions, provide the required information in their entry form, or abide by these Official Rules or other instructions of Sponsor may be disqualified.
There will be one (1) Sweepstakes winner ("Winner"). The potential Winner will be selected through a random drawing on or about August 17, 2020 from among all eligible entries received during the Entry Period. The first potential Winner will be contacted on or about August 18, 2020 via the email address and/or phone number provided during registration. Winner may be required to sign and return to Administrator, within five (5) business days of the date notice is sent, an affidavit of eligibility, and liability/publicity release (collectively, "Affidavit") in order to claim his/her prize. All prize awards are subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these Official Rules. Failure to respond to the initial verification within five (5) business days of notification or to return all required documentation within the stated time period (if applicable), the return of any prize or prize notification as undeliverable or the potential winner's noncompliance with these Official Rules may result in disqualification and, at Sponsor's discretion, selection of an alternate potential Winner in a random drawing of all remaining eligible entries received even if the disqualified potential winner's name may have been publicly announced. The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in entrant's email account to receive email messages. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim prizes in excess of the number of each type of prize set forth in these Official Rules, the winners, or remaining winners, as the case may be, of the advertised number of prizes available may be selected in a random drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such prize(s). Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant's sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. The Released Parties are not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential winner, or if potential winner is a minor, for late, lost, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts of potential winner to provide signed parental or guardian consent.

An IRS Form 1099 may be issued in the name of Winner for the actual value of the prize received. All prize details are at Sponsor's sole discretion.

The ARV of the prize(s) is based on available information provided to Sponsor and the value of any prize awarded to the Winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. Prize, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules or the rights and obligations of entrants, Sponsor or the Released Parties in connection with the Sweepstakes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other laws. The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in Orange County, California and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator's decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Sweepstakes shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. ("JAMS") or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a "Demand for Arbitration", then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Orange County, California. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn't apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Orange County, California. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
