What other rules or restrictions apply?

Additional terms and conditions may apply to gift cards, such as expiration dates and other limits on the use; see https://www.tangocard.com/ for additional terms. Sunbit is not responsible for any problems you may have with Tango. Questions about their specific services should be directed to them. All details and specifications for prizes not specifically detailed in these Terms will be decided by Sunbit in its sole discretion. All prizes properly claimed will be awarded. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. Prizes are non-transferable and no substitutions or cash redemptions are permitted, except, Sunbit may replace any prize with a substitute prize of equal or greater value, in its sole discretion, including due to unavailability. If any prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, if any potential winner is determined by Sunbit (in its sole discretion) to be ineligible, or if any potential winner declines to take all steps necessary to claim or accept a prize within forty-eight (48) hours, then the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be selected.

Sunbit has no affiliation, control, or relationship with Tango, other than providing Gift Cards to eligible winners at Sunbit’s expense.  Sunbit shall not be liable for any action, inaction, technical issues or difficulties, or other problems encountered with Tango when attempting to access or use the Gift Card.

An IRS form 1099 will be provided to the IRS in each winner’s name. Winners will be responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes on prizes won, and may be required to fill out and return to Sunbit certain tax forms in the timeframe specified by Sunbit. For larger prizes, the winner may, in Sunbit’s sole discretion, receive an additional amount from Sunbit to help defray the taxes associated with the prize. Sunbit makes no representation that this amount will be sufficient to cover all taxes. The awarding of any prize is contingent on the winner’s full compliance with these Terms, as determined by Sunbit in its sole discretion. Sunbit is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, misdirected, mutilated, damaged, incomplete entries or mail or postage-due mail. Sunbit will be the sole judge of eligibility and prizes issued by Sunbit are final. Sunbit reserves the right to reclaim a prize in the event it is awarded in violation of these Terms or based upon fraud or misconduct of any kind. Awards and qualifications of winners are subject to validation by Sunbit in its sole discretion. If a winner is found to have falsified any data or material, the winner forfeits his or her prize and is disqualified, and an alternate winner will be selected in the manner described above. As between participants in the Promotion and Sunbit, Sunbit’s records will determine the calculations required for entries into the drawing and Sunbit’s decisions with respect to those calculations will be final, binding, and non-appealable. SUNBIT MAKES NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN FACT, OR IN LAW, WHETHER NOW KNOWN OR HEREINAFTER ENACTED, RELATIVE TO THE USE OR ENJOYMENT OF ANY OF THE PRIZES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
