postage-due submissions or prize notifications; or for lost, interrupted,
inaccessible or unavailable networks, servers, satellites, Internet service

abuse, threaten or harass any other person, and the applicable Online Alliance
Partner and New Line reserve the right to seek damages and other remedies from
any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. No mechanically reproduced, illegible,

provided such account holder must still meet the eligibility requirements for
the Promotion. The authorized account
holder shall be the natural person to whom the applicable email address has
been assigned by the Internet access provider, service provider, or other
online organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain
associated with the submitted e-mail address. A potential winner may be requested to provide the New Line with proof
that the potential winner is the authorized account holder of the e-mail
address associated with the winning entry. If a dispute cannot be resolved to the applicable Online Alliance
Partner’s or New Line’s satisfaction, the entry will be deemed ineligible. Each Online Alliance Partner and New Line
reserve the right to modify, extend, suspend, or terminate the Promotion if
they determines, in their sole discretion, that the Promotion is technically
impaired or corrupted or that fraud or technical problems, failures or
malfunctions or other causes beyond their 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. In the event an Online Alliance Partner or
New Line is prevented from awarding prizes or continuing with the Promotion as
contemplated herein by any event beyond its control, including but not limited
to fire, flood, natural or man-made epidemic of health of other means,
earthquake, explosion, labor dispute or strike, act of God or public enemy,
satellite or equipment failure, riot or civil disturbance, terrorist threat or
activity, war (declared or undeclared) or any federal state or local government
law, order, or regulation, public health crisis (e.g. SARS), order of any court
or jurisdiction, or other cause not reasonably within New Line’s control (each
a "Force Majeure" event or occurrence), then subject to any
governmental approval which may be required, the applicable Online Alliance
Partner and/or New Line, as applicable, shall have the right to modify,
suspend, or terminate the Promotion. If
the Promotion is terminated before the designated end date, New Line will (if
possible) select winners in a random drawing from all eligible, non-suspect
entries received 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. Only the type and
quantity of prizes described in these Official Rules will be awarded. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim prizes in excess of
the number of each type of prize set forth in these Official Rules, the
winners, or remaining winners, as the case may be, of the advertised number of
prizes available in the prize category in question may be selected in a random
drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such
prize(s). 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 in
accordance with law by a duly authorized representative of New Line. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of these 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 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.

ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND
ENFORCEABILITY OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES OR THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
ENTRANTS OR NEW LINE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY

may have against, New Line relating to, arising out of or connected in any way
with (i) the Promotion, (ii) the awarding or redemption of any prize, and/or

acquainted with the entertainment industry, and shall not have the power to

hereby waives any and all rights and benefits which it might otherwise have or
be entitled to under federal law or the laws of
California or any other state to litigate
any such dispute in court, it being the intention of the parties to arbitrate
all such disputes. EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY

arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of these
Official Rules, and any other agreements the applicable entrant may have entered
into with New Line in connection with the Promotion, and shall be final and
binding, and shall provide for each party to bear its own costs of arbitration
and attorneys’ fees. Judgment upon the
award of the arbitrator may be entered or enforced in any court of competent
jurisdiction. If either party fails to
appear at the hearing on the date designated in accordance with the rules of
the AAA, or shall otherwise fail to participate in the arbitration proceeding,
the arbitrator is hereby empowered to proceed ex parte. If you do not
agree to these requirements, do not participate in the Promotion. If any part of this Arbitration Provision is
deemed to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the balance of this
