Without limitation, the winner will be responsible for (i) all costs associated with attending the Blue Bombers game for the Ticket portion of the Prize (including as applicable travel and accommodation), (ii) registration and license fees, insurance for the Vehicle portion of the Prize and (iii) in the event the winner resides outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba, all costs associated with transport/delivery of the Vehicle portion of the Prize from the designated Winnipeg dealer (as determined by Sponsor) to winner’s residence.
Neither the Sponsor, nor any of the other Released Parties makes any representation or offers any warranty, express or implied, as to the quality or fitness of the Prize awarded in connection with the Contest. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the winner understands and acknowledges that they may not seek reimbursement or pursue any legal or equitable remedy from either the Sponsor or any of the other Released Parties should the Prize (or any portion thereof) fail to be fit for its purpose or is in any way unsatisfactory.
