The prizes will be awarded, provided there is at least one (1) eligible Entry.

WINNERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL EXPENSES NOT INCLUDED IN PRIZE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS AND OTHER EXPENSES REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE VIDEO CALL.

“Video Call” elements of the prize are subject to availability.  The “Video Call” element of the prize has no approximate retail value.  HCF is not responsible for cancellation or preemption of the event or for other circumstances that make it impractical or impossible to fulfill that element of the prize and HCF’s only obligation in the event of any such cancellation, preemption, or non-fulfillment because of impossibility or impracticality will be to provide the remainder, if any, of the prize.  If the actual value of any aspect of the prize is less than the stated approximate retail value, the difference will not be awarded.  There is no substitution for any prize.  The prize is not transferable, assignable or redeemable for cash.  HarperCollins reserves the right to substitute a cash payment of equal value for any aspect of the prize.
