 Furthermore, the Sponsor is not responsible for the postponement or cancellation of the filming of Rachael Ray.

In such an event, the Sponsor will not owe Finalist any additional compensation. The Sponsor is not responsible for any expenses, travel, lodging or otherwise, for any other individuals traveling with the Finalist. Members of each Finalist “team” (i.e., Child and Parent) must travel together on the same itinerary and must travel on dates specified by the Sponsor or the prize will be forfeited.

The Finalist bears all responsibility for use of the Finalist Prize in compliance with the terms and conditions imposed by the transportation and lodging providers and any additional costs associated with the use of the prize. If the Sponsor provides the tickets and books the travel and lodging, but the Finalist does not use the tickets, travel, and/or lodging, the prize is null and void and no further compensation or prizes will be offered to the Finalist.
