FORCE MAJEURE: Sponsor reserves the right, without prior notice and at any time, to terminate the Giveaway, in whole or in part, or modify or suspend the Giveaway, or any portion thereof, in any way, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Giveaway is impaired or corrupted or that fraud, breach of confidentiality, or technical problems, failures or malfunctions have destroyed or severely undermined the integrity and/or feasibility of the Giveaway.
