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 Video 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 Video (including, without limitation, the Video), other than as set forth in these Rules. Each Participant understands and acknowledges that the Released Parties have wide access to ideas, text, images, videos and other creative materials. Each Participant also acknowledges that many ideas may be competitive with, similar to, or identical to their Video and/or each other in idea, components, format, or other respects.

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, 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 the Video to administer and promote the Contest as described in these Rules, and each such person releases all Released Parties from any and all liability related to such authorized uses.

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 Video and/or participation is detected. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void Videos 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 as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained in these Rules. 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 Videos 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 Videos 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 Video cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, such Video 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 dollars, and each Participant further waives all rights to have damages multiplied or increased.
