D. Prize Outcome Based on Funds Raised

• If total funds raised during the Round are less than the FMV, the winner will receive a cash prize equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total gross funds collected during the Round, in lieu of the vehicle.

• If total funds raised meet or exceed the FMV, the winner may choose either:

  • The vehicle prize; or

  • A cash prize equal to the vehicle’s disclosed FMV.

• Any funds collected in excess of the vehicle’s FMV shall be retained solely by Sponsor as operating revenue and shall not increase the cash alternative available to the winner.

6. Taxes and Expenses

• Winners are solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes associated with acceptance or receipt of any prize.

• Sponsor makes no warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

• Vehicle mileage is measured at the start of the applicable Round and may increase prior to delivery due to transportation, testing, or maintenance.

• Minor increases in mileage do not constitute a material change and are not grounds for prize rejection or dispute.

Personal information will not be sold and will only be shared with service providers or authorities as required to operate the Promotion or comply with applicable law.
