natural person who owns the email address utilized to enter at time of entry (i.e., the
“authorized account holder”) will be deemed the entrant. Sponsor, in its sole discretion,
reserves the right to disqualify any person who tampers with the entry process or is otherwise
in violation of these Official Rules. Sponsor further reserves the right to cancel, terminate or
modify any this Sweepstakes if it is not capable of being administered as described in these
Official Rules, whether by tampering, unauthorized intervention or force majeure. By

they reside, their parents/legal guardians confirm) that s/he has read these Official Rules and
agrees that s/he understands and will comply with them, attests to being over eighteen (18)
years of age at time of entry, and affirmatively “opts in” to receiving marketing email
communications from Bloomingdale’s and bloomingdales.com. To the extent permitted by
law, participation constitutes each entrant’s consent, without further compensation or
approval, to use of entrant’s name, likeness and/or biographical data for advertising and
promotional purposes by Sponsor or its designee, whether or not in connection with
Sweepstakes. Each entrant also agrees to be solely responsible for entrant’s own actions and
for any liability related to her/his participation or receipt and/or use of any prize offered and to
release, defend and hold Sponsor, its affiliates, any prize provider and each of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, insurers and their successors and assignees (collectively,
the “Sweepstakes Entities”) each harmless from and against any liability for losses, damages

present at drawing. Potential winner will be notified on or about January 16, 2016, by mail

the potential winner. In the event that a dispute arises regarding the Sweepstakes, including
any individual’s entitlement to receive a prize, any entry made online, the authorized account
holder will be deemed to have made the entry and to be the potential winner. If winner is a
minor in the state of residence, prize will be awarded in the name of his/her parent/legal
guardian, who will be required to timely execute the necessary affidavit and release. If a
potential winner (or his/her parent/legal guardian) does not complete, sign and return such
Affidavit of Eligibility and Release within ten (10) days of notification or otherwise does not
timely comply with these Official Rules, that potential winner will be disqualified and will
forfeit the prize. Such forfeited, refused and/or returned prize will be awarded to an alternate
winner, who will be selected in the same manner as the disqualified potential winner, but will
have qualified pursuant to the qualification process. Should it be necessary, the foregoing
process will be repeated until a winner is qualified.

Sweepstakes, or other hardware, software or technical errors of any kind, including without
limitation any that may cause or result from any injury or damage to any person’s computer as
