FORD PROUD TO HONOR LUKE COMBS SWEEPSTAKES

OFFICIAL RULES

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING.

By participating, you agree to these Official Rules and the decisions of Ford Motor Company (“Sponsor” or “Ford”) and Group E Marketing Services LLC (“Administrator”), which are final and binding in all respects and not subject to appeal.

Sweepstakes Schedule:  The Luke Combs Proud To Honor Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) begins at or after 12:00 AM Eastern Time (“ET”) on 9/16/20 and ends at 11:59 PM ET on 3/31/21 (“Sweepstakes Period”). Administrator’s computer is the official timekeeping device for the Sweepstakes.

Eligibility:

The Sweepstakes is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia, who are twenty-one (21) years of age or older with a valid U.S. driver’s license (“Entrant”).

Employees, directors and officers and their immediate families (spouses and siblings, parents and children and their spouses) and household members of Ford Motor Company (“Sponsor”), GTB Agency, LLC, Academy of Country Music, Dick Clark Productions, Inc., the management/representation of Luke Combs, Group E Marketing Services LLC, and their respective parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates and companies involved in the implementation and execution of the Sweepstakes (collectively the "Sweepstakes Entities") are not eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes and win the prize.

Sweepstakes is void in Puerto Rico and other US Commonwealths, territories and jurisdictions (including overseas military installations) and where prohibited by law.

How To Enter:

During the Sweepstakes Period, visit https://www.ford.com/proud-to-honor/sweepstakes (the “Website”), complete the online entry form with the required contact information (“Entry”) and submit the completed Entry as directed. ALL ONLINE ENTRIES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY 11:59 PM ET on 3/31/21. In the event more than one (1) Entry is received from any one person or email address, the first entry processed will be considered the only valid Entry received for the Sweepstakes. In the event of a dispute, Entries will be deemed made by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of Entry. The authorized account holder is the natural person who is assigned to the email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses, or the domain associated with the submitted email address. The potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. Entries that are incomplete or corrupted are void. Limit: One Entry per person or email address.

Random Drawing, Winner Notification:

• The potential winner will be selected in a random drawing conducted by Administrator, an independent judging agency, on or about 4/1/21.
• The potential winner will be notified by telephone (potential winner must respond to telephone call him/herself, and messages will NOT be left on his/her voice mail/answering message or with a third party) and Administrator shall preliminarily confirm his/her eligibility during such telephone call.
• Thereafter, potential winner must complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability Release and except where prohibited by law, a Publicity Release Form (“Affidavit/Release”) and consent to a background check (as well as fully cooperating with Sponsor and its designated representatives as to the conduct of same, including by timely providing any and all requested information and materials) all within two (2) days of notification (or perhaps a shorter time period as indicated thereon). For the avoidance of doubt, prize will NOT be awarded based on Administrator’s preliminary determination of eligibility alone; rather, such preliminary determination of eligibility must be supplemented with a signed Affidavit/Release. An electronic signature or affirmation or facsimile signature shall have the same legal force and effect as a hand-signed document.
• If the Entrant selected as the potential winner fails to timely execute and return the Affidavit/Release, if he/she is determined to be ineligible (either preliminarily or based upon the Affidavit/Release) for any reason or the selected Entrant cannot be contacted after reasonable effort as determined by Administrator in its sole discretion (that is, inability of Administrator to contact selected Entrant via telephone call), prize will be forfeited without compensation of any kind and an alternate Entrant may be selected as the potential winner, time permitting.
• In addition, prize will be forfeited (with an alternate winner being selected, time permitting) if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that the background check on winner did NOT come back “clean” such that award of the prize to such person would bring the Sponsor into disrepute or reflect adversely upon the Sponsor’s business reputation or its goodwill. SPONSOR’S REVIEW AND INTERPRETATION OF THE BACKGROUND CHECK IS FINAL AND BINDING AND NOT SUBJECT TO APPEAL; AND, IF THE BACKGROUND CHECK IS DETERMINED BY SPONSOR NOT TO BE “CLEAN,” SPONSOR AND THE RELEASED PARTIES (AS SET FORTH BELOW) SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND.
• FURTHER, IF POTENTIAL WINNER DOES NOT WISH TO CONSENT TO THE BACKGROUND CHECK FOR ANY REASON, HIS/HER SOLE RECOURSE IS TO FORFEIT THE PRIZE IN ITS ENTIRETY (AND, IN SUCH CASE, SPONSOR, AND THE RELEASED PARTIES SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND).

Odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received.
