10. This is a free contest. The SOTY Staff will make a reasonable attempt to deliver the prizes to the winner (including shipping overseas, tracking confirmation, and insurance – if possible). In the case of extremely expensive shipping (because of winner’s location), the winner may need to pay partial shipping costs.
