Participants should be sure to check their email messages regularly and keep their account updated with their correct contact information so that they will be able to be contacted if selected as a potential winner. A potential winner who fails to notify the Administrator via email at info@crossovermkt.com or via a reply to the initial email identifying them as a potential winner, with any issue within three (3) business days after attempted prize notification, forfeits any right to do so.
