The Winner(s) will allow six (6) to eight (8) weeks for delivery of prizes.

 If a prize involves a trip to an event, ASG is not obliged to replace tickets or award a substitute prize or give any form of compensation should the Winner be unable to undertake such trip for any reason (including and without limitation, event cancellation, Force Majeure, travel restrictions, or medical disabilities).
