4. Winner Selection and Notification
   The odds of winning vary from contest to contest. The winning entry or entries for a contest will be selected in compliance with the terms of the specific contest. SagaCity Media will contact contest winners by email to confirm a winning entry. The potential contest winner will forfeit the prize if he/she (1) does not respond to the initial notification email or return any required information within 30 days, (2) cannot be contacted at his/her listed email address, (3) rejects the prize or the prize is returned as undeliverable, or (4) is disqualified for any reason. In the event of prize forfeiture, an alternate winner will be selected. Winners are solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes and all unspecified expenses or fees associated with prize acceptance, receipt, and use. Prizes may not be substituted or transferred by any contest winner, and a winner may not receive cash redemption equal to the value of the prize in lieu of the prize. SagaCity reserves the right to substitute alternate prizes of equal or comparable value. Prizes are offered "as is" with no written, express, or implied warranty, including but not limited to, quality, condition, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. All federal, state, or other tax liabilities (including income taxes) arising from this contest will be the sole responsibility of each winner.
