Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address or Shutterfly account.

Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the Shutterfly account and/or the email address used will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
5. Drawings: The designated overseer of the Bakerella.com website, determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, is an independent entity whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the choosing of the potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes.
