During the Promotion Period, if the Gulf Street Squad spots your car with the Decal AND you have registered your information on the Website, you automatically win a Qualifying Prize, subject to verification. You will be contacted by a representative of Sponsor to verify your eligibility and contact information. You will then be automatically entered into the monthly grand prize drawings ("Grand Prize Drawing"). Grand Prize Drawings will take place at the end of each calendar month during the Promotion Period from among all eligible entries received during the previous calendar month.
    You must register by October 31, 2010 to be eligible to win. Limit one (1) Qualifying Prize and one (1) Grand Prize per person during the Promotion Period.
    For each Qualifying Prize and Grand Prize awarded, Gulf will donate 10% of the prize value to the Gulf Oil Giving Foundation. The Gulf Oil Giving Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization which supports Breast Cancer Research and Awareness Programs.

  5. Grand Prize Winner Selection and Notification of Grand Prize Winners: A random drawing will be conducted following the last day of each calendar month during the Promotion Period by Sponsor, who will select one (1) potential Grand Prize winner from among all eligible Qualifying Prize winners as of the time of the Grand Prize Drawing. Non-winning Grand Prize Drawing winners will be rolled over into subsequent Grand Prize Drawings. The potential Grand Prize winners will be notified by telephone and/or mail and/or email, using contact information provided or collected at the time of entry. Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within seventy-two (72) hours of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner will be selected. Sponsor, in its sole discretion will attempt to contact up to three (3) potential winners of a prize in accordance with the above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it remains unclaimed. If any potential prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such potential prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected.
  6. General Prize Conditions: No cash alternative or prize substitutions will be allowed, except Sponsor reserves the right to substitute prize(s) of comparable value if a prize listed is unavailable for any reason. Prize winner(s) shall be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize. Any potential prize winner may be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release (collectively, "Prize Claim Documents").
  7. Odds of Winning: Odds of winning the Qualifying Prize depend on number of eligible registered participants. Odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on the number of Qualifying Prize winners as of each Grand Prize Drawing.
  8. General Rules of Participation/Release of Liability: Acceptance of a prize constitutes prize winner's permission for Sponsor to use prize winner's name, photograph, likeness, voice, biographical information, statements and address (city and state) for advertising and/or publicity purposes worldwide and in all forms of media now known or hereafter developed, in perpetuity, without further compensation, unless prohibited by law. Entrants agree that the Promotion Providers (A) shall not be responsible or liable for, and are hereby released from, any and all costs, injuries, losses or damages of any kind, including, without limitation, death and bodily injury, due in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to participation in the Promotion or any Promotion-related activity, or from entrants' acceptance, receipt, possession and/or use or misuse of any prize, and (B) have not made any warranty, representation or guarantee express or implied, in fact or in law, with respect to any prize, including, without limitation, to such prize's quality or fitness for a particular purpose.

No mechanically reproduced, illegible, incomplete, forged, software-generated or other automated multiple entries will be accepted. Sponsor reserves the right to modify, extend, suspend, or terminate the Promotion if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Promotion is technically impaired or corrupted or that fraud or technical problems, failures or malfunctions or other causes beyond Sponsor's control have destroyed or severely undermined or to any degree impaired the integrity, administration, security, proper play and/or feasibility of the Promotion as contemplated herein. If the Promotion is terminated before the designated end date, Sponsor will (if possible) select winners in a random drawing from all eligible, non-suspect registered participants as of the date of the event giving rise to the termination. Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant's sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. These Official Rules cannot be modified or amended in any way except in a written document issued by a duly authorized representative of Sponsor. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein.
