Potential winners must reply to DM and provide any additional information (e.g., email address) within forty-eight (48) hours. Potential winners may be required to provide identification sufficient to demonstrate ownership of the Instagram account used to enter. If a potential winner’s response is not received within forty-eight (48) hours after the initial DM was sent, or if the DM is returned as undeliverable or the potential winner cannot otherwise be contacted by Equinox, Equinox may, in its sole discretion, disqualify the potential winner without further notice and either forfeit the Prize or select an alternate potential winner in accordance with the judging criteria set forth in Section 5 above.

All such documents must be completed and returned to Equinox within three (3) days of attempted delivery of the same to the potential winner. If a potential winner does not complete such documentation within such period, or Equinox’s initial delivery of the same is returned as undeliverable or the potential winner is otherwise deemed ineligible, not in compliance with these Official Rules or declines to accept the Prize, Equinox may, in its sole discretion, disqualify the potential winner without further notice and either forfeit the Prize or select an alternate potential winner in accordance with the judging criteria set forth in Section 5 above. All results are unofficial until Equinox’s acceptance of the potential winner’s claim of the Prize and completion of any required documentation (once accepted, each a “Winner”). Once verified, each Winner may claim the Prize in accordance with Equinox’s instructions. Entrants that do not win will not be notified.
