Failure to provide such proof may lead to, among other things, the Entrant being disqualified from the Promotion.
All physical Entry Materials become the physical property of Sponsor upon receipt and will not be returned. Sponsor may destroy, dispose of, or make any other use of such physical Entry Materials at any time.
- Original Work of Authorship. By entering the Promotion, Entrant represents and warrants that he or she has read, understands, agrees to and will follow the Rules. Entrant further represents and warrants that his or her Entry Materials and all materials and matter therein: (a) (except for elements that are within the public domain or are provided by Sponsor for inclusion in Entry Materials) are wholly original with such Entrant and are not a copy or imitation of any other material or Entrant has all necessary rights to grant the Sponsor the rights granted hereunder and exercise such without obligation or liability to any third party; (b) will not infringe or violate any right whatsoever, including, without limitation, any personal rights (e.g., defamation, privacy, false light, moral right, etc.) or any property rights (e.g., copyright, trademark, patent, right to ideas, etc.) of any person or entity and the use thereof will result in no third party liability or obligations; and (c) is not the subject of any threatened or pending litigation, claim, or dispute that might give rise to litigation, which does or could adversely affect or in any way prejudice, impair, or diminish the rights granted hereunder or the value thereof. Entrant further represents and warrants that he or she has the right to agree to and fully perform consistent with these Rules and that he or she has complied and has obtained all permissions, licenses, and consents that are necessary for the submission of the Entry Materials and the use of the Entry Materials and to verify compliance with the foregoing requirements. Entrant agrees to provide to Sponsor at Sponsor’s request copies of all such permissions, licenses, and consents. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify and/or not to post any Entry Materials that Sponsor determines do not comply with these Rules, to make such changes to any Entry Materials as are necessary to make them compliant, or to require the Entrant to do so. Entrant further acknowledges and agrees that he/she has not previously granted, assigned, or otherwise encumbered his/her Entry Materials, or any images, text, or materials depicted therein, to any third party.

- Limited License from Sponsor to Use Sponsor Content. If the Initial Rules direct or permit Entrant to include Sponsor’s name, trademarks, or video game or other content (“Sponsor Content”) in Entrant’s Entry Materials, Sponsor grants each Entrant a non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to use the Sponsor Content solely in connection with the development and submission of his/her entry to the Promotion (including any entry sharing functionality made available by Sponsor for viral distribution of the Sponsor Content). Any other use of Sponsor Content is prohibited and may be grounds for disqualification and/or legal action for infringement or other causes of action. All use of Sponsor’s name and intellectual property, including any Sponsor Content, by Entrant in connection with the Promotion will inure solely to the benefit of Sponsor. All derivative works based on or using Sponsor’s intellectual property will be the sole and exclusive property of Sponsor. Entrant acknowledges that as between Sponsor and Entrant, Sponsor is the owner of all right, title, and interest in and to all copyrights, trademarks, trade-dress, and other rights associated with Sponsor’s name, intellectual property, games, services, products, and product designs, and the goodwill pertaining to all of the foregoing. Entrants agree that they will not acquire and will not claim any title to any of the foregoing and will make no use of the same following the conclusion of the Promotion. If Sponsor shall desire to secure additional assignments, certificates of engagement for the Entry Materials, or other documents as Sponsor may reasonably require in order to effectuate the purposes and intents of these Rules, then Entrant agrees to sign the same upon Sponsor’s request therefor.
- Use of Entrant’s and Winner’s Name, Likeness, Etc. Entry into the Promotion constitutes the right and permission for Sponsor and Sponsor’s affiliates and licensees to use the Entrants’ and Winner(s)’ names, account names, avatars, profile images, likenesses, prize information, and/or other information (including, but not limited to, anything included in the Entry Materials) (collectively, “Name and Likeness”) in connection with the Promotion in all forms of media and by any and all means (now and hereafter known), and on and in connection with related products, services, advertising, and promotional materials (now known or hereafter developed), worldwide, in perpetuity, without any obligation, notice or consideration, except for the awarding of the prize(s) to the Winner(s). As a condition of being awarded any prize, Winner(s) may be required to execute a further consent to the use of their Name and Likeness for promotional purposes without further permission or compensation. Entrant hereby warrants and represents that Entrant owns all rights to Entrant’s Name and Likeness. Sponsor or Sponsor’s affiliates may publicly announce or display the Name and Likeness of the Entrants and the Winner(s), and may publicly display all Entry Materials, on Sponsor’s webpage, Sponsor’s social media channels, or elsewhere online or offline. Entrant gives consent for Sponsor to obtain and deliver his or her name, address, and other information to third parties for the purpose of administering this Promotion and to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and rules. Any information Entrant provides to Sponsor may be used to communicate with Entrant in relation to this Promotion or on a Promotion winner’s list.
- Governing Law and Venue. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of these Rules or the rights and obligations of Entrants, Sponsor, or the Released Parties in connection with the Promotion will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other laws. If either: (i) the Entrant is not a legal resident of the United States or (ii) the arbitration provisions of Section 20 do not apply to the Entrant for any reason, then Entrant agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of Clark County, Nevada for any disputes arising out of the Rules or the Promotion.
- Limitation of Liability. BY ENTERING THE PROMOTION, ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; AND (B) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
- Binding Arbitration. This Section 20 applies only to legal residents of the United States of America. The Sponsor and the Entrants each agree to finally settle all disputes arising out of or related to this Promotion only through arbitration; provided, however, the Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in Clark County, Nevada and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Promotion shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration at a venue in Clark County, Nevada, United States, before a sole neutral arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures in effect as of the first day of the Promotion Period of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 20, the JAMS consumer arbitration minimum standards will apply if Entrant is a “consumer” as defined by JAMS, which standards include the right to an in-person hearing in Entrant’s hometown area. The federal or state law that applies to these Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Where permitted by the arbitrator, each party to the arbitration may appear at an arbitration proceeding by telephone. Entrant and Sponsor will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules. If applicable arbitration rules or laws require Sponsor to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 20 to be enforceable, then Sponsor will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Clark County, Nevada. If Entrant prevails in a claim against Sponsor, then Sponsor agrees to reimburse Entrant for all arbitration fees (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of Entrant to attend the arbitration hearing and excluding all attorneys’ fees and costs). The arbitrator’s decision must consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim and must provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award (if any) is based. All parties to the arbitration will have the right, at their own expense, to be represented by an attorney or other advocate of their choosing. Judgment on the arbitration decision and award (if any) may be entered in or by any court that has jurisdiction over the parties. This section does not preclude either party from seeking remedies in small claims court for disputes within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction.
- Force Majeure and other Amendments/Modifications. Sponsor reserves the right to change, suspend, or cancel the Promotion if, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, intervening circumstances warrant such change, suspension, or cancellation. Intervening circumstances include, but are not limited to, strikes, labor disputes, war, insurrections, revolutions, terrorism, riots or other civil disturbances, earthquakes, fires, floods or other natural disasters, governmental restrictions, embargoes or other exercises of governmental authority, unavailability of supplies, components, or material, viruses, network disruptions, bugs, unauthorized human intervention, or any other cause beyond Sponsor’s control.
Sponsor reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions set forth in the Rules without notice for any other reason; however, the remaining terms in the Rules remain in full force and effect, and all rights and obligations set forth herein and any amendments shall be binding upon Sponsor, Entrants, and Winner(s), should such change take place.
- Taxes, Costs, Fees, and Compensation. It is each Winner’s sole responsibility to file winning prizes with the appropriate tax authorities or other governmental entities, should the Winner be required by law to do so. ALL APPLICABLE TAXES, OR OTHER COSTS OR FEES, ASSOCIATED WITH ENTERING THE PROMOTION OR THE RECEIPT OR USE OF ANY PRIZE(S) ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ENTRANTS AND THE WINNER(S).
IN NO EVENT WILL PROMOTION ENTRANTS OR WINNER(S) BE ENTITLED TO ANY FEE, ROYALTY, OR OTHER COMPENSATION (OTHER THAN THE PRIZE FOR WINNER(S)) OF ANY KIND AS A RESULT OF THE PROMOTION. BY ENTERING, EACH ENTRANT (AND, IF A MINOR, HIS OR HER PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO COMPENSATION FOR SPONSOR’S AND SPONSOR’S AFFILIATES’ USE OF SUCH ENTRANT’S ENTRY MATERIALS AND NAME AND LIKENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE RULES.
Each Entrant and Winner should consult with professional financial, legal, and/or other advisors, if necessary.
The Winner(s) may be required to provide Sponsor with a valid social security number before the prize(s) will be awarded for tax reporting purposes. An IRS Form 1099 may be issued in the name of Winner(s), or if a minor in the jurisdiction in which s/he resides, in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian, for the actual value of the prize(s) received.
- Legal Compliance. Each Entrant and Winner shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations at all times.
- Severability. If any term, condition, or provision in the Rules is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid term, condition, or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions, and provisions of the Rules, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Promotion-related materials, privacy policy, or terms of use on any website, Social Media Platform, or application and/or the terms and conditions of the Rules, the Rules shall prevail, govern, and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
- Applicable Terms of Service and Privacy Policies. By participating in the Promotion, Entrant agrees to be bound and abide by Sponsor’s terms of service, privacy policies, and all other applicable terms of service and policies. Such policies can be reviewed at the Sponsor’s website. Entrant further agrees to be bound and abide by the terms of service, privacy policies, and all other applicable terms of service or policies, of any entity that Entrant may or must use in connection with his/her entry in the Promotion. To the extent of a conflict between such terms outlined in this Section and these Rules, these Rules will govern and control in all respects.
