                                            ii.            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Station reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to implement entry/voting processes from time to time that may frustrate or prohibit automated entry or voting, including, without limitation, CAPTCHA, requiring Club membership logins or Contest/voting registrations, advance email address verification procedures, limiting the number of entries/votes/web hits accepted/counted after a maximum number within a specified period of time as established by the Station, which numerical/time limits the Station may decide not to disclose, and/or prohibit any further entries, votes or web traffic from a particular IP address during a particular Contest, period of time or permanently.

                                           iii.            Before or during any Contest, the Station reserves the right to install and access cookies, alone or along with other methods, to track web site traffic, entry and/or voting frequency, and/or to detect or prohibit automated methods of voting, entry or Website visits.

f.         For any Contest requiring that Entrants and/or Qualifiers be present at a Station event in order to continue participation in a Contest, Entrants hereby agree to strictly follow all instructions and directions given by the Station staff at the event and understand that any failure to comply with the Station’s instruction, process, procedures or Contest Rules at the event may result in immediate disqualification in the Station’s sole and absolute discretion.  If check-in or registration at the event is required by the Station, you must check in, or in some cases be in line to check in, by a certain announced time.  Eligibility to participate in the Contest event may require that at check-in each timely arrived participant complete, sign one or more liability release agreement(s), provide his/her social security number, provide evidence of a valid government issued photo identification (i.e., driver’s license, passport, or military ID), and/or other specific requirements announced.  Failure to do any of the foregoing at check-in if required will result in automatic disqualification.  In the event that any Contest associated event or any Grand Prize Event needs to be rescheduled for any reason, such postponement will be announced on-air, on the Station’s Website, and/or by means of one or more Station account on Social Media Networks.  It is the sole responsibility of each Entrant/Qualifier to listen to the Station, check the Website and/or check the Station’s accounts on Social Media Networks for cancellation and/or rescheduling information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Station may, but is not obligated to, send a written, electronic, or telephonic notice directly to Entrants/Qualifiers regarding any necessary rescheduling of any event or Grand Prize Event with the rescheduled date/time; provided, however, in no event will the Station or its sponsors have any liability or responsibility for any Entrant’s/Qualifier’s failure to receive the message, if any, for any reason.  In no event will the Station have any liability or responsibility for any cancellation and/or rescheduling information, including the accuracy thereof, posted by any individual or entity other than the Station.  In no event will the Station or its sponsors have any liability or responsibility for any potential Entrant’s, Entrant’s or Qualifier’s inability to attend any event on the rescheduled date (and no alternative opportunities will be offered).

1.       For any Contest described as an “Instant Win” Contest, only the maximum available number of any designated Prize(s) will be awarded while supplies last, on a first-come, first-served basis among participating Entrants, as applicable and based upon one or more means of participating in such Contest, including, without limitation, being one of the up to X number of callers to the Station Contest phone number, being one of the X number of individuals present at a specific geographic location, spinning a physical or virtual prize wheel, and/or competing in any other game of skill now known or hereafter devised.
2.       Some Contests may only be open to entry by individuals who have an App account and have enabled notifications for the App, have an account with the Software Provider, opted-in to receive emails from the Station, and/or follow the Station on a specific Social Media Network.  In the case of such Contests, information about the Contest and/or the entry process for such Contest will not available to the Station’s listeners, Website visitors, and/or the general public, and the Station will only provide such Contest and/or entry information to the specific limited group of individuals who may enter such Contest.  Such individuals may receive “secret” App notifications, emails, and/or direct messages from the Station from time-to-time telling them to (1) click a provided link in order to complete a “secret” contest entry form; (2) appear in person at a “secret” location at a specified time on a designated date; and/or (3) listen to the Station during certain day/time, or ranges of days/times, for a “secret” Cue-to-Call comprised of any one or more of the following, without limitation: (a) a specific song by a specific artist, (b) a group of songs played in a consecutive order (whether or not such consecutive songs are by the same artist), (c) a collection of songs by one or more specific artists, (d) a specific recorded sounder (e.g., like a bell, whistle, or other sound effect), (e) a live or recorded announcement of a keyword or code word, or (f) their name and town to be announced on-air in an announcement (e.g., “Hi to [Name] of [Town], thanks for listening!” or similar announcement).
3.           For any Contest described in this Section 8(h) that requires for an Entrant to listen to the Station, the email will also provide instructions on what to do at the time the designated song(s) and/or announcement(s) is broadcast in order to win, which will be one of the following ways: (a) be the designated caller (e.g., 10th caller) to the phone number provided in the email, (b) be one of the first [x] callers (e.g., the first 10 callers) to the phone number provided in the email, (c) when your name is announced call the designated Contest line within [x] minutes, or (d) within a specified time frame described in the email, complete an online entry form with an announced keyword or code word and any other required information as may be instructed and/or required on the form (e.g., the exact name of a song or the day/time a song or sounder aired).
4.           For any Contest described in this Section 8(h) that involve a grand Prize drawing, Qualifiers will be selected as described in the email, which will also include applicable information about the grand Prize drawing.

9.       The Station may elect, but will not be obligated, to provide certain information not otherwise available to the general or listening public about a Contest by means of the App, the Website, email, or social media posting to a limited group of people.  Such information may include, without limitation, dates and time ranges when a Contest song or sounder may be played, lists of correct or incorrect answers received, and/or Contest reminders.  In such events, no purchase will be required to obtain such information, but the Station may require that persons eligible to receive such extra information have an App account, receive emails from the Station, and/or have an account with one or more third party Social Network Sites.  The Station will not be obligated to announce that it is or how it is making such additional information available, unless required by law.  While such additional information may increase the chances that a recipient will know when to listen, or what the correct or incorrect answers may be (which information may not be available to non-recipients), there will be no advantage in the mode of entry by obtaining (or not obtaining) this additional information.

10.     The Station reserves the right, but not the obligation, to post some or all entry information and/or Entry Content on the Website or by means of Social Media Networks, in whole or in an edited form in Station’s sole and absolute discretion, as a “featured” entry.  Having your entry posted and/or “featured” does NOT mean that the Entrant has won or is likely to win in that Contest.  The decision to post or “feature” any such entries is for entertainment purposes only, and is not part of the Winner selection process.  The Station cannot guarantee that it will be able to view all entries and/or required entry submissions (essays, photos, videos, etc.) submitted from a technical perspective, even if sent in the appropriate formats required.  In the event the Station is not able to view any entry or entry materials submitted for any technical reason whatsoever, that entry may be disqualified (without notice to the Entrant) and the Station will have no liability or obligation to such Entrant with respect to the disqualified entry.

11.     By entering a Contest, Entrants understand that the Station staff may choose to comment on, mock, poke fun at, and/or mimic any Entrant’s entry and/or performance.  Entrants further understand that any Entrant’s entry and/or performance may subject the Entrant to the risk of notoriety, publicity, ridicule, scorn and/or indignity, including from members of the public.  Entrants waive any right to make any claim against the Station or any Contest sponsors with respect to any comments, disparaging or otherwise, made regarding such Entrant and/or his/her entry, entry materials, performance, voice, appearance, participation and/or any other information provided or disclosed to the Station during the course of a Contest.  Further, Entrant acknowledges and agrees that all entries and/or entry materials become the property of the Station and will not be acknowledged or returned.

12.     Depending upon the type of Contest, the means of entry, and the entry information provided/required, the Station may notify potential Qualifier(s) and/or Winner(s) of such by phone, by email, by text message, by direct message or public post on social media network, by mail, and/or in person, as applicable.  Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately at the time the Station calls, transmits, texts, messages, mails, or otherwise communicates such notification.  The Station will only be required to leave one voicemail message, send one email, send one text message, send one direct message on social media, make one public posting on social media, and/or send one (1) letter.  The Station reserves the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to contact any Entrant(s), Qualifier(s), and/or Winner(s) more than once, in its sole and absolute discretion, and will not be required to attempt to contact Entrant(s), Qualifier(s), and/or Winner(s) an equal number of times or in the same manner.  The Station is not responsible for any change of email address, mailing address, and/or telephone number of Entrant(s), Qualifier(s), and/or Winner(s).  The Station is not responsible and shall not be liable for late, misdirected or unsuccessful efforts to notify any Entrant(s), Qualifier(s), and/or Winner(s), and in the case of minors, for late, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts of the Entrant to provide signed parental or guardian consent.  If a Qualifier(s), and/or Winner(s) is unable to be notified for any reason for any amount of time, the applicable Prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.  If a Qualifier(s), and/or Winner(s) does not claim the Prize within the appropriate time given upon, the Entrant will automatically be disqualified and their Prize will be forfeited.

13.     In the event multiple users of the same mobile phone, email, website, app, or social media account, as applicable, enter the Contest and a dispute thereafter arises regarding the identity of the Entrant, the Authorized Account Holder at the time of entry will be considered the Entrant. For purposes of the Rules, “Authorized Account Holder” is defined as the one (1) natural person who: (i) in the case of a mobile phone or email account, is assigned the mobile phone number or email account by an Internet access provider, online service provider, telephone service provider or other organization which is responsible for assigning phone numbers or email addresses; or (ii) in the case of website, app, or social media accounts, can demonstrate control over the means of such account by logging into such website, app, or social media account with the correct user name and password.  

14.     Failure to comply with the Rules, along with any other terms and conditions applicable to Contest entry, including without limitation submitting an incomplete or fraudulent entry, and/or failing to complete the entry process, will result in such Entry being disqualified from such Contest.  Proof of a person’s submission of an entry shall not be deemed proof of receipt of such entry by the Station.  When applicable, the Station’s computer will be deemed the official time keeping device for the Contest.  Entries will be disqualified if incomplete and/or if prohibited multiple entries in excess of the states limit are received.  Any individual(s) that is found to be, or suspected of, tampering with a Contest in any way, including without limitation by making a fraudulent entry, by engaging in any “deal-making” with or between other Contest participants or third parties, by creating a public hazard, by cheating, by engaging in improper or illegal activity, by causing interference with or the destruction of property and/or utilized public safety resources will be disqualified from participating and/or winning any Prize(s), as applicable, and may be banned from any future participation in any Contest as determined by the Station in its sole and absolute discretion and on a case-by-case basis.

15.     STATION WILL BE THE SOLE ARBITER IN ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THE CONTEST, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENTRANT ELIGIBILITY, THE VALIDITY OF CONTEST ENTRIES, AND THE INTERPRETATION OF CONTEST RULES.  ALL DECISIONS BY STATION WILL BE FINAL AND MAY NOT BE APPEALED.  ENTRY INTO CONTESTS CONSTITUTES AGREEMENT BY ENTRANTS TO ABIDE BY THESE RULES, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER RULES ESTABLISHED BY STATION.

Prize(s)

16.     The actual Prize(s), and value of any such Prize(s), will vary for each Contest.  No more than the maximum number of Prizes set forth in the Rules for such Contest will be awarded.  Prize terms, conditions, restrictions, and availability are subject to change.  Prize(s) will be released to the Contest Winner(s) only, and will only be awarded if properly claimed according to these General Contest Rules.  For each and any Contest, the Station may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to mail the Prize(s) to the Winner(s), to have a third party mail the Prize(s) to the Winners or arrange delivery of the Prize(s) to the Winner(s), to require for the Winner(s) to pick the Prizes(s) up at the Station’s studio during normal business hours, and/or require for the Winner(s) to pick the Prize(s) up at a third party designated location.   Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of the Rules to the contrary, Station will not under any circumstances whatsoever be responsible for the delayed or failed delivery of any Prize(s) mailed to Winner(s)

17.     Winners are solely responsible for any and all costs and expenses related to a Prize, the acceptance of a Prize, and/or the use of a Prize in any manner not specified in either the Rules or the terms, conditions, or restrictions applicable to such Prize.  Winners are responsible for paying all applicable local, county, state and federal taxes on Prizes based on the estimated retail value of the Prize, as set forth in the Contest Rules, and may be issued an IRS Form-1099 for all Prizes won from the Station in any calendar year where the aggregate value of all such Prizes is $600 or more.

18.     The Station is not the supplier or guarantor of any Prize, unless otherwise specified.  Prizes may be fulfilled by a third party fulfillment sponsor.  ALL PRIZES ARE AWARDED “AS IS” AND THE STATION DOES NOT MAKE (AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR) ANY REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES, OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN FACT OR IN LAW, RELATING TO ANY PRIZE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

19.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, stated on-air, published online, or otherwise communicated to a potential Winner, no potential Winner of any Contest will be entitled to receive any Prize until the Station has verified such potential Winner’s Contest eligibility and compliance with the Contest Rules and until such potential Winner has completed and submitted all documents required by the Station.  In order to receive any Prize, Winner(s) may be required to (i) present a valid photo identification issued by a commonwealth, state, or territory of the United States or by the United States federal government; (ii) complete and submit an IRS Form W-9 in its entirety, including with the Winner(s) valid United States taxpayer identification number or social security number; and/or (iii) provide or complete and sign any other documents required by the Station, including without limitation, one or more liability release agreements relieving the Station, its parent and affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, Contest sponsors and others from any and all liability with respect to the Entrant’s participation in the Contest and the receipt and/or use of the Prize. Any person who refuses to present a valid government issued photo ID, to provide a valid social security number, and/or to provide or complete and sign any other documents required by the Station by the deadline required by the Station will forfeit any and all Prizes.  The Station reserves the right to examine identification and may reasonably choose to accept or deny awarding the Prize based on the identification presented.

20.     Except by the Station, which reserves the right to substitute a Prize, in whole or in part, with another Prize or Prize portion of greater or equal value.  Except where required by law, Prize(s) may not be redeemed for cash, substituted, transferred or assigned, except as may be determined by the Station in its sole and absolute discretion on a case-by-case basis.  Winners are prohibited from selling any Prize awarded or transferring any Prize without the Station’s authorization, which authorization must be in writing by a Station representative and will be granted or withheld in the Station’s sole and absolute discretion on a case by case basis.  In the event the Station discovers or suspects (correctly or incorrectly) that a Winner is attempting to sell his/her Prize from the Station (e.g., on eBay, Craigslist, StubHub, or otherwise), the Station reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, on a case by case basis, to take any one or more actions, including without limitation: (a) immediately disqualify the Winner and deem any Prize they were otherwise entitled to as forfeited; (b) refuse to award the Prize to such Winner, even if he/she represents that they will not resell or transfer the Prize; and/or (c) prohibit the violating Winner from participating and/or winning any future Contests, whether for a fixed period of time or in perpetuity, in the Station’s sole and absolute discretion, and if such Winner ever wins a future Contest during the period that he/she is banned, he/she will be disqualified from the Contest and forfeit any Prize once it has come to the Station’s attention.  Further, the Station reserves the right to track, deactivate, render void, and/or cancel and invalidate any Prize awarded that the Station suspects was sold or transferred without authorization.

21.     In the event that any Entrant(s), Qualifier(s), and/or Winner(s), as applicable, is disqualified from a Contest for any reason permitted by the applicable Contest Rules at any point in time (before or after a Winner is determined), the Station and/or sponsor(s) may, but will NOT be obligated to, notify any such individual(s) of such disqualification or forfeiture.  The Station may, but will NOT be obligated to select an alternative Qualifier, and/or Winner, as applicable.  Prizes not claimed within thirty (30) business days of being advised by the Station that the Prize is available for pick-up, or such shorter period of time if so stated in the Rules for a Contest, or in the case of a time sensitive Prize within its period of usability if shorter than thirty (30) business days, will be considered forfeited without notice to the Winner(s).  Regardless of the reason, all forfeited Prizes become the sole property of the Station and may be reallocated to another Contest and/or awarded to another Winner, or discarded in the Station’s sole and absolute discretion.

22.     Unless otherwise specified, the following terms, conditions, and/or restrictions may apply generally to Prizes awarded in Contests:

1.       Any Prize involving travel, including without limitation Prizes consisting in whole or in part of overnight accommodations and/or travel by air, rail, ship, or motor coach, will be based upon availability and subject to additional terms and restrictions imposed by the Station, Contest sponsors, and/or other agents participating in the Contest and/or fulfillment of the Prize, including without limitation blackout dates, peak period restrictions, expiration dates, and/or additional age restrictions imposed upon the Winner and/or the Winner’s guest(s).  These restrictions are not subject to negotiation.  Winner’s guests may be required to sign one or more liability release agreements before being authorized by the Station or its sponsor to be allowed to participate as Winner’s guest on a trip.  In addition, such Winners and guest(s) are required to travel on the same itinerary, to which changes may not be made once booked, and are solely responsible for obtaining any international travel documents, visas or passports that may be required.  Reservations are non-transferable and once booked and confirmed may not be rescheduled.  Overnight accommodations will consist only of standard double occupancy accommodations, and Winner will be solely responsible for all ground transportation, for the purchase of any items of a purely personal nature, for the payment of any incidental expenses, and for the payment of any taxes, charges, and/or fees.  Winners may be required to provide a valid credit card to check into the hotel and to cover incidental expenses.  Air travel will consist only of round trip coach air transportation to/from a commercial airport in/near the destination city from/to a commercial airport in the greater metropolitan area in which the Station is located, and the Winner will be solely responsible for all ground transportation and for the pre-payment of any applicable taxes or airport, baggage, or government fees or charges.
2.       Any Prize that consists of an opportunity to meet with, participate in an activity with, interview or have similar interaction with any celebrity (other than employees of the Station) is contingent upon the celebrity appearing for such activity/event, which is beyond the Station’s control.  The Station is not responsible if a Winner and/or his/her guests are unable to meet such celebrity or participate in the associated activity if the celebrity determines this is not allowable for any reason or fails to appear/participate for any reason, including without limitation any illness, act of god, scheduling conflict or any other reason.  In such event, the Station is not responsible for such portion of the Prize, which has no monetary value, and no alternate Prize will be awarded and the event/activity will not be rescheduled.  In the event that the Station elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to attempt to reschedule any such event/activity or offer an alternate Prize, the Station will have no obligation whatsoever to offer any other alternate Prize if such attempt to reschedule or other offer is not accepted by or utilized by Winner for any reason whatsoever.
3.       Any Prize that is awarded in the form of a gift certificate or gift card, the use and/or redemption of such certificate or card may be subject to additional terms and restrictions, including without limitation expiration date, specific locations at which such certificate or card may be redeemed, may be based on availability and may include black-out periods, restrictions or excluded items (i.e., tax, tips, alcoholic beverage, or goods from a particular manufacturer).  Gift certificates are only redeemable at the locations for which they are specified.
4.       Any Prize involving the award of cash will be fulfilled in the form of a company check payable to the verified Winner only and made available approximately six (6) to eight (8) weeks from the date upon which the Winner completes and submits all documents required by the Station.
5.       The Station and sponsors are not responsible for replacing or reimbursing Winners with any form of compensation for flights or events that are canceled, rescheduled or delayed.  All cancellations are deemed beyond the control of the Station and its sponsors.  This includes, but is not limited to, event cancellations, trip schedule changes, flight cancellations, changes in travel arrangements, travel delays of any form and duration, as well as all delays or cancellations due to acts of nature, terrorism (including threats), war, illness, or any pandemic or epidemic constituting a public health emergency that are subject to government mandated quarantines, travel restrictions, or stay-at-home orders.  Additionally, the Station is not responsible for any work stoppage, bankruptcy or other condition beyond the Station’s control that may affect the Station’s ability to provide any of the Prizes.  The Station is not responsible for any expenses incurred by Contest Winners as a result of such cancellations, delays or other circumstances beyond the Station’s control.
6.         In all instances in which Winner has the right to select specific products, the choice or products offered may be limited or certain specific products or manufacturers may be excluded, may be subject to availability, and Winner will receive additional information on such restrictions and limitations after they have been awarded the Prize.

Other Rules that May Apply to Contests

23.     Odds of winning any Contest depend upon the how the Contest is conducted.  For random drawings, the odds of winning will depend upon the number of entries received.  For Contests in which Qualifiers are selected for a random drawing to determine Winner, odds will depend on the total number of Qualifiers.  For Contests of skill that do not involve any element of chance, odds of winning are not applicable.  All tie breaking procedures will be set forth in the Rules, but may also be published on the Station’s Website and/or communicated directly to such tied Contest Entrants.

24.     In addition to the Contest Rules Page, the Station and/or its sponsors may provide the Rules for a Contest on-air, on a website, in blog or social media post(s), by text, instant, or direct message(s), and/or on-site/point-of-purchase poster(s), display(s), material(s) or handout(s); provided, however, in no event will the Station be responsible for the failure of any third party sponsor or location to make the Rules available.  Except if specifically required by law or the context of a particular Contest, the Rules will not be announced or broadcast on-air.

25.     The Station may or may not respond to inquiries by Entrants or potential Entrants regarding the status of their entry and/or to questions about a Contest, regardless of the means by which such inquiry is made, and the Station is not obligated to respond to, or to treat, all such inquiries identically (even if the question is identical).  Time considerations and/or volume, among other things, may impact the Stations’ desire or ability to respond to such inquiries from time to time.  Notwithstanding anything that may be communicated by any Station employee in connection with any such inquiry, the sole determining source for information related to a particular Contest will be the Rules for such particular Contest, and any information communicated by Station employee(s) will neither be binding on the Station nor be deemed to be providing any type of improper assistance or advantage to any particular Entrant over another.  Any attempt by the Station to respond to an inquiry will be in the context of providing good customer service only and, in some instances, to address technical issues/problems.

26.     Except if inconsistent with the Rules, any reference to the Station’s privacy policy in Contest Materials or advertisements will be deemed to refer to the Station’s privacy policy (if any) available from a link at the bottom of the Station’s Website (“Privacy Policy”), unless a different privacy policy is specifically identified, in which case, any such third party privacy policy will NOT be applicable to or part of these Contest Rules.  The Station may use cookies and/or collect IP addresses for the purpose of implementing or exercising its rights or obligations under the Contest Rules, for information purposes, for identifying your location and redirecting you to the appropriate geographic website, if applicable, and/or for any other lawful purpose in accordance with the Privacy Policy.  Information collected by the Station in connection with entering, voting or otherwise participating in any Contest may be shared with sponsors of particular Contests, and otherwise used in accordance with the Privacy Policy.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Station may retain for a reasonable period of time, the Entrant’s personal data in order to enable it to send that Entrant any Prize that they have won and to verify that these Official Rules have been complied with, and for accounting purposes.  This data may be passed to a third party to enable such third party to fulfill any necessary requirements relating to the award of a Prize. Any other use of personal data will be in accordance with, and subject to, the Station’s Privacy Policy to which there is a link in the footer of the Website and on the Contest Rules Page.  Entrant may have the opportunity to opt in to receive emails or other communications from third parties. In the event that Entrant opts in to any available opportunities to receive information from a third party, that may or may not be associated with this Contest, Entrant understands and acknowledges that his/her information will be provided to such third party and may be used by the third party as set forth in the third party’s privacy policy. Any available opt-in opportunities are not required to enter the Contest, and opting in will not improve your chances of winning.

27.     All entries and Entry Content become the property of the Station and will not be acknowledged or returned.  Participation in a Contest and/or acceptance of Prize(s) constitutes consent by Entrant and/or Winner’s (and by Winner’s guest(s) if applicable) for the Station or its agents (i) to interview the Entrant and/or Winner(s) (and Winner’s guest(s), if applicable), (ii) to photograph, film, and record (audio and/or video) Entrant and/or Winner(s) (and Winner’s guest(s), if applicable), and (iii) to use in commerce and in any medium now or hereafter known throughout the world in perpetuity and without payment of any compensation or additional consideration: his/her name, hometown (city and state), biographic information, likeness, photograph, audio or video recording, Entry Content, Prize information (if any), and/or any statements made by him/her regarding the Station, the Promotion, and/or its sponsor(s) for purposes of trade, publicity, or promotion without notice or additional compensation, notification, or permission, except where prohibited by law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Entrants acknowledge and agree that by submitting Entry Content as party of Contest entry, such Entry Content will be deemed a “Work Made For Hire” under the Copyright laws of the United States, but if it cannot be so deemed, then the Winner irrevocably assigns and transfers to the Station all of his/her right, title and interest in and to his/her Entry Content, including all but not limited to all copyright and trademark rights which he or she may have, in the United States and worldwide, therein, for consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged. Winner hereby waives in favor of the Station, all rights of “Droit Moral” or “Moral Rights of Authors” or any similar rights or principles of law that Winner may now or later have to their Entry Content.  The Station reserves the right to alter, change or modify the winning Entry Content, in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon request of the Station, Winner shall execute and deliver such additional instrument of assignment, as may be solely deemed by the Station, reasonably necessary to establish the ownership of record of the right, title and interest in and to the Entry Content and of the copyrights transferred and “Moral Rights of Authors” waived under these Official Rules. Should the Station fail to request the said assignment as stated that shall not be deemed a waiver of the Station’s rights and the Station may at a later time request the assignment.

28.     Participation in a Contest and/or acceptance of Prize(s) constitutes agreement by Entrant and/or Winner (and by Winner’s guest(s) if applicable) to release, forever discharge, indemnify, and hold harmless the Station, its affiliates, parents, assigns, successors, employees, participating sponsors, agents and all others connected with them and the promotion, Contest, and/or event (the “Released Parties”) from any and all liability, claims, actions, and damages sustained or incurred by participation in the said promotion, Contest, and/or event and the receipt and use of any Prize(s) awarded (if any) through such promotion, Contest, and/or event arising in any manner whatsoever, including but not limited to an act or omission, whether negligent, intentional or otherwise caused by the Station, its affiliates, parents, assigns, successors, employees, sponsors, agents and all others connected with them and the promotion, Contest, and/or event.

29.     The Released Parties are not responsible for (i) typographical or other errors in the printing, the offering, or the administration of a Contest or in the announcement of a Prize; (ii) incorrect or inaccurate information, human error, failure, or omission; (iii) unauthorized human intervention; (iv) lost, stolen, mangled, misdirected, illegible, incomplete, or late entries; (v) entries not received due to difficulty accessing the internet, service outage or delays, computer difficulties and other technological problems or for telephone service outages, delays, busy signals, poor signals or signal interference, accidental disconnection, equipment malfunctions, and any other technological failures of any kind; or (vi) any cancellations, delays, diversions, or substitutions or omissions whatsoever by any transportation providers or any other persons or entities providing any services to Entrant(s) and/or Winner(s) (and Winner’s guest(s) if applicable) including any results thereof such as changes in services or location necessitated by same. 

30.     The Station reserves the right to modify, suspend, cancel, and/or terminate any Contest and/or Prize(s) without prior notice if such Contest cannot be executed and/or such Prize(s) cannot be fulfilled as advertised, either in whole or in part, and/or if the conduct of such Contest and/or fulfillment of such Prize(s) becomes impracticable or impossible as the result of any other factor beyond the Released Parties’ control, including, without limitation, (i) any strike, insurrection, flood, fire, riot, act of God, war, emergency, terroristic threat (including general threats) or activity, and/or any pandemic or epidemic constituting a public health emergency that are subject to government mandated quarantines, travel restrictions, or stay-at-home orders; and/or (ii) any infection by computer virus, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures that may corrupt or affect the security, administration, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Contest or that causes the Contest to become compromised or corrupted in any way, electronically or otherwise.  The Released Parties will not responsible and/or liable in any way for any such modification, suspension, cancellation, and/or termination.  If the Contest is cancelled or terminated before the original end date, the Station reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion to, to modify the procedure for selecting Winners, unless the nature of the event giving rise to such termination renders it impossible to select Winner(s).

31.     Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Contest shall be settled by binding arbitration in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for claimant), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, in accordance with the procedural rules for commercial disputes set forth in the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (“JAMS Rules and Procedures”) then prevailing, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the Commonwealth or State in which the Station’s office is located consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. In the event that the claimant is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, the Station will pay as much of the claimant’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal (other than that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither claimant nor the Station shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. Upon filing a demand for arbitration, all parties to such arbitration shall have the right of discovery, which discovery shall be completed within sixty days after the demand for arbitration is made, unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE IN THE ENTRANT’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED. DO NOT ENTER THIS CONTEST IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARBITRATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES.
