any taxes associated with receipt of a Prize Package. 

8.     DRAWING:  The potential winners of each Prize Package will
be chosen in a random drawing from the pool of valid entries at 10:00 AM CT, Saturday,
October 12, 2013.  Odds of winning depend
on the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Term.  The random drawings will be conducted by one
or more employees of Garmin or an independent fulfillment entity.

9.     NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNERS:  Garmin will attempt to notify each potential
winner by Twitter immediately after the drawing.  If a winner of a Prize Package cannot be
located or does not respond by 1200 PM CT, Saturday, October 12, 2013, that
Prize Package may be forfeited and an alternate potential winner will be drawn
from the pool of remaining valid entries. 
Alternate potential winners will be notified by Twitter.  Garmin and its affiliates, or their
respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, will not
be liable for unsuccessful efforts to notify a winner.

10.  REQUIREMENTS OF THE POTENTIAL WINNER:  Except where prohibited by law, each
potential winner may be required to complete and return an affidavit of
eligibility (the “Affidavit”) within 2 days of being notified.  If a potential winner fails to sign and
return the Affidavit within the required time period, an alternate entrant may
be selected in his/her place from all of the remaining valid entries received
for the Sweepstakes Term.  If a potential
winner declines a Prize Package, does not respond to a Prize Package notification,
fails to claim a Prize Package, is unavailable for Prize Package fulfillment,
fails to abide by the Official Rules, or is ineligible, Garmin may select an
alternate winner from all remaining valid entries received during the
Sweepstakes Term.

11.  PRIVACY:  Garmin will be collecting personal data from
the entrants and potential winners in order to confirm Sweepstakes
eligibility.  Garmin will treat this data
in accordance with its privacy policy, located at https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/privacy/.  In addition, Garmin may use and share an
entrant’s personal data with third parties solely to the extent necessary to
fulfill its obligation to administer and sponsor this Sweepstakes.

12.  GENERAL CONDITIONS:  Garmin reserves the right to cancel, suspend,
and/or modify the Sweepstakes if any fraud, virus, or other technical problem

(including without limitation the use of any promotion/sweepstakes
subscription, notification, entry or like sites or services that offer
sweepstakes entry services “on behalf of” entrant) is strictly prohibited.  In such event, Garmin reserves the right to
award a Prize Package at random from among the valid entries received up to the
time of the impairment.  Garmin reserves
the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be
tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be
acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or
disruptive manner.  Any false information
provided by any entrant concerning his/her identify or mailing address or any
non-compliance by an entrant with these Official Rules may result in the
immediate disqualification of the entrant from this Sweepstakes.  ANY ATTEMPT BY ANY PERSON TO UNDERMINE THE
LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND
CIVIL LAW, AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, GARMIN RESERVES THE RIGHT TO
SEEK DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.  Garmin’s failure to enforce any term of these
Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. 

13.  PUBLICITY:  Notwithstanding any other term herein, except
where prohibited by law, submission of any entry constitutes the entrant’s
consent to use of his/her name, likeness, voice, state of residence,
biographical and prize information, statements about the promotion and/or the

damage to persons or property including, but not limited to, death, which may

participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt of any prize.  Without
limiting the foregoing, everything in these Rules and in this promotion,
including the prizes awarded, is provided “AS IS” without warranty of any kind,
either express or implied, including but not limited to, the implied warranties
of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.  Some jurisdictions may not allow the
