In the event of a tie, the Post with the highest score in the Creativity of Content section will be the winner. All Judges’ decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to this Contest. Each Participant acknowledges that other Participants may have created ideas and concepts contained in their Post that may have familiarities or similarities to his/her Post (including, without limitation, a similar Post), and that he/she will not be entitled to any compensation or right to negotiate with the Released Parties because of these familiarities or similarities.
Sponsor reserves the right to contact Participants for verification purposes and administration of the Contest. Winners will be chosen as specifically described, and not using any random drawing or method incorporating chance. If no Posts meet the requirements set forth in the “How to Participate” section and/or do not adhere to the Submission Requirements, no Posts will be selected.
WINNERS: The Judges will choose UP TO THREE of the top-scoring Posts based upon the Criteria (“Winners”). Winners’ Posts will be shared as a post on our Instagram, TikTok, Discord and Facebook Group. There is no retail value associated with winning this Contest. Sponsor may contact potential winners via DM or comment to the Post, if applicable, on the platform used for entry in connection with winner verification. Potential winners must respond in accordance with Sponsor’s instructions and required timing or recognition may be forfeited. Post’s recognition does not constitute an offer to buy any products or services from Sponsor.
Winner details not specifically stated in these Rules, will be determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute featuring winning Posts with another type of recognition for any reason and makes no representations about the length of time the Post will remain posted to Sponsor’s account or the number of views it may receive.
You may also earn a badge or similar symbol or emblem (“Badge”) to show that you won the Contest. In displaying your any Badge, you must comply with all applicable platform policies. Bestowing of the Badge allows you to promote your status as a Contest Winner. You may not modify or alter the Badge in any way, such as changing its design or color, or combining the Badge with any other words or images. You may not use the Badge in a way that is deceptive, harmful, obscene, or communicates messages inconsistent with the positive images with which Meta wishes to associate itself (all as determined by Meta in its sole discretion). You may not use the Badge in any way that implies or states, directly or indirectly, that you are affiliated with, or endorsed by, Meta or use Meta brand assets including the Badge, in any way that infers an endorsement or sponsorship from Meta other than winning the Contest.
LICENSE: By participating, except where prohibited by law, each Participant grants to the Released Parties (and their agents, successors, and assigns) the irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, absolute right and permission to use, edit, modify, copy, reproduce, and distribute Participant’s name, likeness, voice, biographical information, any quotes attributable to him or her, any other indicia of persona and any Participant Content, including the Post (regardless of whether altered, changed, modified, edited, used alone, or used with other material in the Released Parties’ sole discretion) to administer the Contest and provide the recognition described in these Rules.
Each Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between the Participant and each of the Released Parties is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other special relationship, and that the Participant’s decision to submit a Post for purposes of the Contest does not place any of the Released Parties in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public with regard to elements of the Post (including, without limitation, the Post), other than as set forth in these Rules. Each Participant understands and acknowledges that the Released Parties have wide access to ideas, text, images, Posts and other creative materials. Each Participant also acknowledges that many ideas may be competitive with, similar to, or identical to his/her Post and/or each other in idea, components, format, or other respects. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that such Participant will not be entitled to any compensation as a result of any Released Party’s use of any such similar or identical material that has or may come to such Released Party from other sources. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that Sponsor does not now and will not have in the future any duty or liability (direct or indirect; vicarious, contributory, or otherwise) with respect to the infringement or protection of the Participant’s copyright or other proprietary rights in and to his/her Post. Each Participant acknowledges that, with respect to any claim by Participant relating to or arising out of a Released Party’s actual or alleged exploitation or use of any Post, or other material submitted in connection with the Contest, the damage, if any, thereby caused to the applicable Participant will not be irreparable or otherwise sufficient to entitle such Participant to seek injunctive or other equitable relief or in any way enjoin the production, distribution, exhibition, or other exploitation of any Released Party production or material, created or derived from an Post, and Participant’s rights and remedies in any such event are strictly limited to the right to recover damages, if any, in an action at law.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES: Nothing in these Rules limits, excludes, or modifies or purports to limit, exclude, or modify any statutory consumer guarantee or any implied condition or warranty, the exclusion of which from these rules would contravene any statute or cause any part of these rules to be void (“Non-Excludable Guarantees”). Subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence and to the maximum extent permitted by any mandatory provisions of applicable law, the Released Parties exclude from these Rules all conditions, warranties, and rules implied by statute, general law, or custom, except for liability in relation to a Non-Excludable Guarantee. Subject to any Non-Excludable Guarantees, each Participant agrees to release, hold harmless, and indemnify (i.e., defend and/or reimburse) the Released Parties from any liability whatsoever for injuries or damages of any kind sustained in connection with the Contest, including, without limitation, any injury, damage, death, loss, or accident to person or property (however (but only if required by law in your jurisdiction), this release, hold harmless, and indemnification commitment does not apply to cases of bodily injury or loss of life or to the extent that any death or personal injury is caused by the negligence of Sponsor or other third party, where liability to the injured party cannot be excluded by law).
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant understands and agrees that all rights under section 1542 of the Civil Code of California and any similar law of any eligible jurisdiction are expressly waived by them. Section 1542 reads as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS: The Released Parties are not responsible and/or liable for any of the following, whether caused by a Released Party, the Participant, or by human error (except to the extent that any of the following occur for reasons within Sponsor’s reasonable control, if applicable law in your jurisdiction of residence dictates that liability to the injured party in such a case cannot be excluded by law): Posts made by illegitimate means (such as, without limitation, by an automated computer program); any lost, late, materials; any error, omission, interruption, defect, or delay in transmission or communication; viruses or technical or mechanical malfunctions; interrupted or unavailable telephonic, cellular, cable, or satellite systems; errors, typos or misprints in these Rules, in any Contest-related advertisements, or other materials; failures of electronic equipment, computer hardware, or software; lost or unavailable network connections or any failed, incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate, garbled or delayed electronic communications; technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the Contest or the processing of Posts; or any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Participant’s participation in the Contest. Released Parties are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable because of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or for insufficient space in a person’s account(s) to receive messages. Released Parties are not responsible, and may disqualify a Participant, if any contact information provided by the Participant does not work or changes without giving prior written notice to Sponsor. Without limiting any other provision in these Rules, the Released Parties are not responsible or liable to any Participant or Winners (or any person claiming through such Participant or Winner) if any of the Contest activities or Released Parties’ operations or activities are affected by any cause or event beyond the sole and reasonable control of the applicable Released Party (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion), including, without limitation, by reason of any acts of God, equipment failure, threatened or actual terrorist acts, air raid, act of public enemy, war (declared or undeclared), civil disturbance, insurrection, riot, epidemic, pandemic, fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, hurricane, unusually severe weather, blackout, embargo, labor dispute or strike (whether legal or illegal), labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slowdown, any law, rule, regulation, action, order, or request adopted, taken, or made by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity (whether or not such governmental act proves to be invalid), or any other cause, whether or not specifically mentioned above.
GENERAL RULES: By participating in this Contest (except where prohibited by law), each Participant grants the Released Parties the irrevocable, sublicensable, free-of-charge, absolute right and permission to use, publish, post or display his or her name, photograph, likeness, voice, biographical information, any quotes attributable to him or her, any other indicia of persona (regardless of whether altered, changed, modified, edited, used alone, or used with other material in the Released Parties’ sole discretion), and all elements of the Participant Content for advertising, trade, promotional and publicity purposes without further obligation or compensation of any kind to him or her, anywhere worldwide, in any medium now known or hereafter discovered or devised (including, without limitation, on the Internet) without any limitation of time and without notice, review or approval, and each such person releases all Released Parties from any and all liability related to such authorized uses. Nothing contained in these Rules obligates Sponsor to make use of any of the rights granted herein and each natural person granting publicity rights under this provision waives any right to inspect or approve any such use.
Sponsor’s decisions will be final in all matters relating to this Contest, including interpretation of these Rules, and selection of the Winners. All Participants, as a condition of entry, agree to be bound by these Rules and the decisions of Sponsor. Failure to comply with these Rules may result in disqualification from the Contest. Participants further agree to not damage or cause interruption of the Contest and/or prevent others from participating in the Contest. Sponsor reserves the right to restrict or void participation from any IP address, email address or domain, account, or device if any suspicious Post and/or participation is detected. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void Posts or other participation by any person who Sponsor believes has attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness or proper play of this Contest. In the event there is an alleged or actual ambiguity, discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Contest-related materials and these Rules (including any alleged discrepancy or inconsistency within these Rules), it will be resolved by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Participants waive any right to claim ambiguity in the Contest or these Rules. If Sponsor determines (at any time and in its sole discretion) that any Winner or potential Winner is disqualified, ineligible, in violation of these Rules, or engaging in behavior that Sponsor deems obnoxious, inappropriate, threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, or harass any other person or entity, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify such Winner or potential Winner, even if the disqualified Winner(s) or potential Winner(s) may have been notified or displayed or announced anywhere. Sponsor’s failure to, or decision not to, enforce any provision in these Rules will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Rules will otherwise remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their Rules as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. If the Contest is not capable of running as planned, for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify or suspend the Contest or run the Contest based on eligible Posts received prior to cancellation, modification, or suspension, if any, or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor. If any person supplies false information, participates or submits Posts by fraudulent means, or is otherwise determined to be in violation of these Rules in an attempt to win, Sponsor may disqualify that person and seek damages from him or her and that person may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If any dispute regarding a Post cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, such Post will be deemed ineligible. CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DAMAGE ANY ONLINE SERVICE OR WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE CONTEST VIOLATES CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. IF SUCH AN ATTEMPT IS MADE, SPONSOR MAY DISQUALIFY ANY PARTICIPANT MAKING SUCH ATTEMPT AND MAY SEEK DAMAGES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
DISPUTES/GOVERNING LAW: Except where prohibited by law, any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action between a Participant and any Released Party arising out of or connected with this Contest, the determination of any Winner awarded must be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action. Further, in any such dispute, under no circumstances will a Participant be permitted or entitled to win or receive, and hereby waives all rights to claim punitive, incidental or consequential damages, or any other damages, including attorneys’ fees, other than the Participant’s actual out-of-pocket expenses (if any), not to exceed ten United States, and each Participant further waives all rights to have damages multiplied or increased.
This Contest and any dispute arising under or related thereto (whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct, or otherwise) will be governed by the internal laws of California, United States without giving effect to its conflicts of law or choice of law principles or rules that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction. Any legal actions, suits or proceedings related to this Contest (whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct, or otherwise) will be brought exclusively in the courts located in or having jurisdiction over San Mateo County, California, and each Participant accepts and submits to the personal jurisdiction of those courts with respect to any legal actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or related to this Contest.
