Contests and Contestants:

Contest entries, as it relates to awarding a Prize(s) or other considerations, will conform to the Contest rules, and applicable federal, state and local laws regarding Contests.

The Contestant agrees to represent ONE person, not a group of persons, a company or any collective group of individuals. Any representation on behalf of another person is prohibited.

Contestants must attest that all information regarding a registration and/or a form that includes identifying information, such as name, address, phone number and email, is true at the time of registration or submission of a Contest.

Some Contests may allow for more than one entry to be entered as a part of Contest play.

Contest entries, material posted in the comment sections, and other such entries become the property of The Company, unless otherwise stated. The source of copyrighted property must be clearly labeled and referenced, and that permission must be obtained by the user prior to submission. Posts that do not conform can be removed with out notice.

If registration for a Contest is required, a Contestant is limited to ONE account, although a user can play multiple times in one game, or multiple games at a time, if offered. If a user is found playing the same game with multiple accounts, or different games using multiple accounts, even if the user plays no more than one game per account, all accounts belonging or traced to that single user will be revoked.

Our contests are mainly performed online. A Contestant can be logged in to more than one device. This feature is designed as a convenience to a user, not an invitation to play multiple times using those devices in rapid and/or sustained succession. Such use of multiple devices for the purpose of posting rapid entries in succession will be considered a "denial of service" style attack, and that user's account may be suspended and/or revoked.

Contest entries become the property of The Company. None will be returned or electronically transmitted back to the entrant or other requesting parties.

Site Registrants must agree to keep access and login credentials secure, and represent the person that the user's login credentials represent. The Registrant cannot share credentials with third parties for the purpose of providing information regarding the user's charater, habits, preferences, or any information to be used in an evaluation or assessment of that user, unless ordered to do so by a court or law enforcement. A violation of this can result in the immediate revocation of an account.

The Company reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel a Contest in progress, for any reason, at any time.

Contests that require a form submit: Contest play also refers to anyone who is filling out an entry form. Contest play is concluded when the Contestant has filled out all required fields of a Contest form and has pressed the submit button to submit the entry.

Contests that require an account sign in: Contest play refers to anyone with an active account, who has logged into a Contest, and is posting, rating a post using the various rating mechanisms presented, responding to a post or viewing activity of a game. For Contests requiring a login, a Contestant ceases to be active in any Contest when that Contestant has successfully logged out. A persistent login still identifies a Contestant as participating in the Contest logged into, even if the device(s) the Contestant uses or has used to access Contests are turned off, the Contestant is not physically near the device(s), or the device(s) are no longer in possession the Contestant, as long as that persistent login connection continues to exist.

Contestants agree that the only compensation awarded is in the terms of prizes and promotions, or as a resolution to a customer service issue. The Contestant is responsible for all applicable taxes, fees, tariffs and all such payments requried by the governing jurisdiction the user resides in and is subject to.

The Company maintains the integrity of all games. Cheating, tampering, hacking and any type of play that interferes or affects the integrity of any Contest will be dealt with restrictions on the Contestant's ability to participate in any Contest, including banning and/or revoking access to all Company's Contests and websites.

Contests rules may be restricted further or contain additional instructions not stated in this Terms of Service. Where they conflict or this Terms of Service is silent, the Contest rules of the specific Contest will prevail.

Violations of any of these terms can result in suspension, banning from Contests, and revocation of accounts.

If you, the Contestant, do not agree to any or all of these terms, you are prohibited in signing up for, creating an account for, participating in or winning Prizes for any Contest.
