To the best of Sponsor’s knowledge, the guitar is accurately described as a 1978 Fender Telecaster Custom. Sponsor disclaims liability for any undisclosed modifications or repairs that may have been performed over the years.

Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $2,700

Prize “AS IS” Disclaimer: The prize is awarded “AS IS” and without any warranty, either express or implied, except for any standard manufacturer’s warranty (if applicable). To the best of Sponsor’s knowledge, the guitar is a 1978 Fender Telecaster Custom; however, Sponsor makes no representation or warranty regarding the authenticity or originality of any components or the precise year of manufacture. Winner acknowledges that the prize has been previously owned and may contain defects or require repairs that have not been disclosed or are unknown. Sponsor expressly disclaims all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If the actual value is less than the stated ARV at the time the prize is procured or fulfilled, the difference will not be awarded in cash. All unspecified expenses relating to acceptance or use of the prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. Winner is solely responsible for all taxes associated with the prize. If required by law, Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099 (or other appropriate tax form) in the winner’s name for the value of the prize.

Right to Substitute: Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the prize (or any portion thereof) with a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable for any reason.

Shipping and Delivery: Sponsor will ship the prize to the winner’s address within the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia at Sponsor’s expense (or specify if the winner must pay). Sponsor is not responsible for any damage, loss, or theft of the prize once it has been shipped. Risk of loss and title for the prize pass to the winner upon delivery to the carrier.
