The Contest Sponsors will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact a Selected Entrant.
(6) AWARDING OF PRIZE
Upon successful contact with a Selected Entrant via email and/or phone, each Selected Entrant will be required to provide certain contact information, as requested by CANADA BASKETBALL.

The Selected Entrant may also be required, at the Contest Sponsors’ discretion, to enter into a license agreement with CANADA BASKETBALL or the Contest Sponsors.
If the Selected Entrant does not meet all of the Contest requirements, fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question, refuses to provide the contact information requested by CANADA BASKETBALL or does not sign and return the Release Form (or the signed Release Form from his/her guest) or license agreement to CANADA BASKETBALL within the time frame specified therein, that Selected Entrant will forfeit his/her Prize and CANADA BASKETBALL shall be entitled (but not obligated) to select another Entrant from the remaining eligible Entries until such time as contact is made with an Entrant or if there are no more eligible Entries, whichever comes first. This process may continue until the Prize has been awarded or there is insufficient time to permit the awarding of a Prize. In the event that an alternate Selected Entrant is required to be selected, the same above-noted process will apply. The Contest Sponsors are not responsible, whether as a result of human error or otherwise, for any failure to contact any Selected Entrant.
