Any violation of these Official Rules by an eligible Winner or Winner, or any behavior by an eligible Winner or Winner that, in Yelp’s sole discretion, brings or will bring Yelp into disrepute, will result in that eligible Winner or Winner being disqualified as a Winner of this Giveaway, and all privileges of being a eligible Winner or Winner will be immediately terminated.
