4. SWEEPSTAKES DRAWINGS: There will be three (3) potential winners selected for each Weekly Entry Period for a total of seventy-eight (78) potential winners selected in this Sweepstakes via random drawings on or about the dates set forth in the table above from among all eligible entries received in accordance with these Official Rules. In addition, there will be one (1) potential winner selected for the Bonus Cash Prize Drawing at the end of the Bonus Cash Prize Entry Period. Non-winning entries will not carry over into subsequent Weekly Entry Period drawings. However, non-winning entries will be included in the final Bonus Cash Prize drawing. After each random drawing, before and/or after those selected are notified, American Student Assistance has the right to re-confirm each drawn individual’s eligibility, verify their account details, and review their EvolveMe on-site behavior before initiating subsequent outreach steps as a potential winner. If American Student Assistance identifies any suspicious account activity or duplicate accounts created by a drawn individual as part of this post-drawing review, American Student Assistance reserves the right to draw another winner, at random, and suspend or delete the suspicious accounts.
   
   
5. ODDS: Odds of winning a Sweepstakes prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the applicable Weekly Entry Period (for Weekly Prizes) and during the entire Promotion Period (for the Bonus Cash Prize Drawing). If zero (0) entries are submitted for a given week, that week’s prizes will go unawarded and no drawing will be conducted.
   
   
6. WINNER NOTIFICATION/ CLAIMING OF PRIZES: The potential winners and/or their parent/legal guardian will be notified by the Administrator using the information provided during entry by email, telephone, or text message (method to be selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion) in a commercially reasonable time after the drawing. The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for and shall not be liable for false, incorrect, changed, incomplete or illegible contact information or for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in entrant’s email or other account to receive messages. The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible or liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify a potential winner (or if potential winner is a minor, for late, lost, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts of potential winner to provide signed parental or guardian consent). If you delete your EvolveMe account after exchanging points for an entry or entries and before the applicable Weekly Drawing date or Bonus Cash Prize Drawing date, you will forfeit your right to win, even if you are drawn at random. Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately upon sending of an email or placing of a phone call. If a potential winner does not formally accept their prize on the claim site—a link to which will be provided via email—by providing their parent or guardian’s information (if they are under 18 or a minor in their state of residence), within five (5) calendar days, if potential winner is ineligible, if any notification is returned undeliverable, or if a potential winner otherwise fails to fully comply with these Official Rules, potential winner will forfeit that prize and an alternate winner may be selected from among all remaining eligible entries. As part of the winner notification process, each potential winner (or parent/legal guardian on winner’s behalf) will be required to complete and submit a prize redemption form (“Redemption Form”), and a declaration of eligibility/release of liability/prize acceptance agreement (“Declaration”), within five (5) calendar days of date of notification, as a condition of receiving a prize. This process also requires each potential winner to provide evidence of government-issued identification, either for themselves—if of the age of majority in their state/jurisdiction—or for a parent or guardian—if under that age of majority. If any potential prize winner fails or refuses to sign and return the Redemption Form and/or the Declaration and/or provide valid identification within the required time period or if the Redemption Form and/or Declaration is returned as rejected, faulty, unclaimed or returned as undeliverable to potential winner, and/or the potential winner is otherwise noncompliant, the potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate will be selected, up to three (3) alternates, after which the applicable prize will remain un-awarded. If winner is a minor, winner’s parent/legal guardian will indicate on the Redemption Form and Declaration whether the prize should be issued to the minor winner or in the parent/guardian’s name. Potential winner becomes the “winner” only after verification of eligibility by Sponsor.
   
   Parents or legal guardians of any prize winner under the age of majority in their state/jurisdiction of residence (which is eighteen (18) in most states but is nineteen (19) in Alabama and Nebraska and twenty-one (21) in Mississippi) will be required to also sign the Declaration in order for the prize winner to be qualified to receive his or her prize(s).
   
   No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim prizes in excess of the number of each type of prize set forth in these Official Rules, the winners of the advertised number of prizes available may be selected in a random drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such prizes. Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant’s sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances.

The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Sweepstakes shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator.
    
    This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.). Any arbitration will be commenced and administered by JAMS under the rules of JAMS, including JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. If JAMS’ criteria are met by the nature of the dispute, the Entrant agrees that the arbitration shall be conducted under JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court of appropriate jurisdiction. If JAMS is unavailable, unwilling, or otherwise unable to administer an arbitration in accordance with these rules, then another arbitration administrator will do, to be selected by agreement of the parties.
    
    EEntrant may choose to have the arbitration conducted by video conference technology such as Zoom or based on written submissions only. Otherwise, the location of the arbitration proceeding shall take place in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts unless the arbitral rules allow the arbitration conducted by video conference technology such as zoom, in which case the parties agree to utilize such technology.
    
    The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
    
    
14. CLASS ACTION WAIVER: To fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties agree to bring any claim or dispute, whether in arbitration, or court in if permitted by these terms, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. There shall be no right or authority for any claim or dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action ("Class Action Waiver"). The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator may award any remedy to which a party is entitled under applicable law, but remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in their individual capacity. Regardless of anything else in this Arbitration Agreement and/or the applicable arbitral rules, the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of the Class Action Waiver may only be determined by a court and not an arbitrator. This Class Action Waiver will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
    
    
15. ONE-YEAR TIME LIMIT TO RAISE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS: You agree that any dispute, claim or lawsuit, regardless of form, that may arise out of or related to the Sweepstakes, must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR of the action, omission, event or occurrence giving rise to the dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit. After the expiration of the one-year period, such dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit will be time-barred and prohibited, without regard to any longer period of time which may be provided by any period of limitation or pursuant to law or statute.
    
    
16. ENTRY INFORMATION AND SWEEPSTAKES COMMUNICATIONS: As a condition of entering the Sweepstakes, each entrant gives consent for Sponsor to obtain and deliver his or her name, address and other information to third parties for the purpose of administering this Sweepstakes and to comply with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

17. MISCELLANEOUS: The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules or the Declaration will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Official Rules or the Declaration is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision hereof. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use on any website, social media platform or application and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
