Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, WestJet reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to administer an alternate test of skill as it deems appropriate based on the circumstances and/or to comply with applicable law.

Potential winners and/or Prize winners agree to cooperate in any investigations by WestJet to confirm his/her eligibility and to help ensure that the use of such potential Winner and/or Prize winner in advertising or publicity for the Contest will not bring WestJet into public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavourably on the Contest or WestJet, as determined by WestJet in its sole discretion.
