8. PRIZE:
There is one (1) prize (the “Prize”) available to be won. The Prize consists of a cheque payable in the name of the confirmed winner in the amount of either: (i) the equivalent value of the Purchase/Lease Price (defined below) under the Eligible Agreement; or (ii) $60,000 CAD – whichever is less. In the event that a confirmed winner has earned their winning Entry by submitting an Entry Request in accordance with these Rules, the value of the applicable Prize will be $60,000 CAD.
For the purposes of these Rules, the “Purchase/Lease Price” means: (i) in the case of a Lease Agreement, the total value of the lease contract (inclusive of tax) (which is the sum of all periodic payments for the term of the Lease Agreement); or, (ii) in the case of a Purchase Agreement the total purchase price of the Eligible Vehicle (inclusive of tax), which for greater certainty, in the case of a financed vehicle, shall be equivalent to the total sum of all periodic payments (inclusive of tax) for the term of the Purchase Agreement. As noted above, in the event that Purchase/Lease Price exceeds $60,000 CAD, the Prize will consist of $60,000 CAD.
The approximate retail value of the Prize will differ depending on the value of the Eligible Vehicle and the periodic payments (inclusive of tax) associated with the Eligible Agreement in question. An eligible winner will remain responsible to make all payments under the Eligible Agreement.
Under no circumstances whatsoever will the value of the Prize exceed $60,000 CAD. If the value of a Prize calculated by the Sponsor (as outlined above) is less than $60,000 CAD, then the confirmed winner of the applicable Prize will not be entitled to any difference.
The Prize must be accepted as awarded and is not transferable or assignable (except as may be specifically permitted by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion). No substitutions are permitted, except at Sponsor’s option. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to substitute the Prize with a prize or prizes of equal or greater value.
None of the 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, each confirmed 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 their Prize fail to be fit for its purpose or is in any way unsatisfactory.
