5. Winner Selection:

Potential winners for each Prize will be selected by random draw from all eligible entries received in accordance with these Rules (as determined by the Sponsor at its sole discretion) on the following dates at or about 12:00 p.m. ET at the Sponsor’s offices (each a “Draw Date”). Odds of being selected will depend upon the total number of eligible entries  received by the Sponsor during the Contest Period.

Entries that are not selected as a winner in a Draw will be carried forward to subsequent remaining Draws.

The Sponsor or its designated representative will make a minimum of one (1) attempt to contact the selected potential Prize winner by email or phone within 48 hours of the Draw Date. If a selected entrant can’t be contacted within 48 hours of the Draw Date, or if there is a return of any notification as undeliverable, the Prize will be forfeited and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to randomly select an alternate potential Prize winner from among the remaining eligible entries (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section will apply to the new selected entrant), and this process will continue until a potential Prize winner has been successfully contacted.

Before being declared a confirmed Prize winner (a “Winner”), the selected potential Prize winner will be required to: (a) correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question; and (b) sign and return within 24 hours of receipt the Sponsor's declaration and release form, which (among other things): (i) confirms compliance with these Rules; (ii) acknowledges acceptance of the Prize as awarded; (iii) releases Tangerine Bank and its affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releases”) from any and all liability in connection with this Contest; and (iv) agrees to the publication, reproduction and/or other use of the Winner’s name, address (city and province), voice, statements about the Contest and/or photograph, image or other likeness without further notice or compensation, in any publicity or advertisement carried out by or on behalf of the Sponsor in any manner whatsoever, including print, broadcast or the Internet and grants to the Sponsor, in perpetuity, a non-exclusive licence to publish, display, reproduce, modify, edit or otherwise use the material contained in the entry, in whole or in part, for advertising or promoting the Contest or for any other reason and waives all moral rights in and to the Winner’s entry in favour of the Sponsor. If a selected potential Prize winner: (a) fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question; (b) fails to return the properly executed release and other Contest documents within the specified time; (c) can’t (or is unwilling to) accept their Prize as awarded for any reason; and/or (d) is not in compliance with these Rules, then they will be disqualified and will forfeit all rights to the Prize, and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to randomly select an alternate potential Prize winner from among the remaining eligible entries (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section will apply to the new selected entrant), and this process will continue until a Winner has been successfully awarded the Prize or until the Sponsor terminates the Contest in accordance with these Rules, whichever happens first.
