Grand Prize procedure must be coordinated with Sponsor and/or Promotional Partner and Grand Prize Winner must be willing to schedule an appointment date approximately five (5) weeks after the conclusion of the Contest Entry Period. Surgery dates are subject to availability and certain blackout dates or other restrictions may apply, as solely determined by Sponsor and/or Promotional Partner. No changes will be made to surgery appointments except at Sponsor’s and/or Promotional Partner’s sole discretion. If Grand Prize Winner can no longer undergo the Grand Prize procedure on the scheduled appointment date, then he or she may, in Sponsor’s and/or Promotional Partner’s sole discretion, forfeit the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize procedure is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Official Rules and those set forth by Sponsor and/or Promotional Partner in any required release forms.
Promotional Partner will perform the Grand Prize procedure to the best of Promotional Partner’s ability and in accordance with generally-accepted dental, medical and professional standards regarding such Grand Prize procedure. Grand Prize Winner acknowledges and agrees that at all times the delivery of the services in connection with the Grand Prize procedure will be subject to Promotional Partner’s professional judgment and his/her medical fitness to undergo the Grand Prize procedure and/or customary post-operative care.
Actual value of the Grand Prize may vary based on Grand Prize Winner’s condition and the nature of the dental implant procedure performed by Promotional Partner.

Sponsor’s inability to reach a potential Grand Prize Winner after a reasonable (as solely determined by Sponsor) effort has been made, the failure of a potential Grand Prize Winner to timely respond to a prize notification, and/or a potential Grand Prize Winner’s failure to comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, result in the potential Grand Prize Winner’s disqualification and the selection of a substitute potential winner based upon the eligible Finalist that received the next highest score according to the winner selection judging criteria. If there is no eligible Finalist, the Grand Prize will remain unawarded.
A FINALIST IS NOT A WINNER OF THE GRAND PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL SPONSOR HAS COMPLETED ITS VERIFICATION OF FINALIST’S ELIGIBILITY.
