Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, stolen, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted, or garbled entries, which will be disqualified, or for problems of any kind whether mechanical, human, or electronic. An Entry is deemed “received” when it is tagged with both the required hashtag and handle for the particular social media platform.
