General Conditions.  The University may, in its sole option, cancel, suspend and/or modify the Event, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, human error or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Event, as determined by the University, in its sole discretion. In such event, the University, in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all of the prizes offered herein. The University reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Event, or who the University determines may be in violation of the Official Rules. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Event may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the University reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.  The University’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. The University reserves the right to immediately terminate the Event, with or without awarding any prizes, if the University determines that any part of the Event is, may be, or becomes illegal or inconstant with any applicable laws, regulations, policies, instructions, or guidelines.
9. Retrieval and Use of Information.

The University will not sell any entrant’s contact information to any third-parties. However, the University may use such information, in whole or in part, in records that are or may become “public records” under applicable law.
