6. Prize and Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”):
One (1) Grand Prize: Two (2) VELUX Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylights including installation. ARV $4,158 (four thousand one hundred & fifty-eight dollars). The Solar Powered "Fresh Air" Skylight features a solar panel that captures any available daylight and is the power source that opens and closes the skylight. A rain sensor is built in to close the unit in the event that inclement weather arises while you're away.
See Section 7 and Special Notes below for Requirements and Documentation in order for the Grand Prize Winner to claim their Grand Prize. If the Grand Prize Winner does not qualify to have VELUX Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylights installed in their home, or if the selected room will not accommodate the VELUX Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylights, then Sponsor will offer the Grand Prize Winner a final Grand Prize offering of $500 (five hundred dollars) in lieu of the skylight prize. Please note: Actual installation may be delayed depending on the supply line availability.
Special Notes: Winner must provide VELUX with access to their roof in order for their inspector(s) to inspect the Grand Prize Winner’s home and structure to ensure the roof’s ability to have the Prize listed above installed. If the VELUX inspector deems that the home/room/roof is not appropriate for installation of either of the above, the Grand Prize Winner will be offered the Alternate Cash Prize of $500 USD (five hundred US dollars). ALL DECISIONS OF THE VELUX INSPECTOR(S) are final and legally binding in all respects and not subject to further review. ALL ENTRANTS BY SUBMITTING A LEGAL ENTRY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THIS STIPULATION.
Prize is not transferable, with no cash redemptions (excluding the cash offer), equivalents or substitutions except at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. All prize details not specified in these Official Rules will be determined at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion and are subject to change. Winner will be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes and for any other fees or costs associated with the prize(s). ARV of the prize is based on available information provided to Sponsor and will be reported for tax purposes as required by law.
