account holder shall be the natural person to whom the applicable email
address has been assigned by the Internet access provider, service

addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.
A potential winner may be requested to provide the Sponsor with proof

be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the entry will be deemed
ineligible.
