7. Winner Determination: At the end of the Submission Period, eligible Submissions will be judged by a panel of Sponsor-selected judges (“Judges”). The winner will be chosen from all valid Submissions received during the Submission Period by 11:59 pm CT on February 6, 2024. The Judges will use the following criteria according to the percentage weights indicated (the “Criteria”) to evaluate the Submissions and select the winner:

  • How well the Submission expresses the theme of the Contest, as described in Section 4 “How to Participate” above (60%)
  • The quality of the story, photo and/or video (20%)
  • The Submission’s heartwarming nature (20%)

The Judges will choose one (1) winner of the top-scoring Submission(s) based upon the Criteria. In the event of a tie, the tied Submissions will be judged based on the above Criteria by a tie-breaking judge selected by Sponsor. All Judges’ decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to the Contest. Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to choose an alternative winner in the event that a possible winner has been disqualified or is deemed ineligible, in Sponsor’s sole discretion. 

Each Participant acknowledges that other Participants may have created ideas and concepts contained in their Submission that may have familiarities or similarities to their Submission, and that they will not be entitled to any compensation or right to negotiate with the Released Parties because of these familiarities or similarities.

Sponsor or its representative may contact Participants for verification purposes and administration of the Contest. The winner will be chosen as specifically described; not using any random sweepstakes or method incorporating chance.  If no Submissions meet the requirements set forth in the “How to Participate” section and/or no Submissions fully adhere to the Submission Requirements, no Submission will be selected as a winner.

To the extent required and allowed by applicable law, Sponsor will honor requests that the winner’s information not be published or posted online.  If any Prize, Prize notification, or Contest-related communication is rejected, faulty, or undeliverable; or if the winner or a potential winner fails to comply with these Official Rules, the Prize may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected (time permitting) based on the original method of winner selection or other method that is fair in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor is not obligated to pursue more than three (3) alternate winners for the Prize for any reason, in which case the Prize may go unawarded. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification procedures and applicable deadlines for responding in connection with the selection of any alternate potential winner, if any. If the Prize is legitimately claimed, it will be awarded. Upon Prize forfeiture or inability to use the Prize or portion of the Prize by the winner or a potential winner, Sponsor will have no responsibility or liability to that individual. To claim the Prize, the winner must follow the directions in the Prize notification.  Failure to comply with Sponsor’s or its representative’s instructions, or these Official Rules may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, result in disqualification from this Contest and forfeiture of the Prize potentially won. Decisions of Sponsor are final on all matters relating to this Contest, including interpretation of these Official Rules, determining the winners and awarding of the Prize.

8. Winner Notification: Once the selection of the winner is complete, the selected winner will be notified no later than 11:59 pm CT on February 6, 2024 via direct message on whichever Social Media Platform they commented or posted on in order to enter the Contest. Failure to respond within twelve (12) hours of receipt of the direct message may result in disqualification and awarding of Prize to another entrant. Sponsor is not responsible for any change in a Participant’s contact information. Sponsor is not obligated to attempt to notify potential selected winners by any other method or means of communication. The selected winner may be required to complete and return a Form W-9 to Sponsor and to sign a release that: (i) releases the Released Parties from and against any and all harm, expense, loss, damage, liability, or injury resulting directly or indirectly from participating in the Contest or the award, receipt, possession, use, or misuse of the Prize awarded in the Contest; (ii) contains the selected winner’s acknowledgment and agreement to be bound by the Official Rules; and (iii) authorizes the Released Parties to use the selected winner’s and guests’ (if applicable) names, likeness, photographs, voices, images, and biographical data for advertising, promotional, or any other purpose, in any media (the “Release”). If the selected winner fails to complete and return a Form W-9 to Sponsor and/or sign the Release within twelve (12) hours of receipt, the selected winner may be disqualified. 

9. 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 them, any other indicia of persona and the Submission (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 promote the Contest.

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 post a Submission 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 the Submission or any elements thereof, other than as set forth in these Official 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 their Submission 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 their Submission. 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 Submission, 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 a Submission, 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.

10. Release and Limitation of Liability: By entering this Contest and/or accepting the Prize, each Participant agrees to release, hold harmless and indemnify each of the Released Parties from and against any liability whatsoever for claims, causes of action, losses, and damages arising out of their participation in this Contest, including, but not limited to, any Contest-related activities, personal injury, death, damage to or loss of property, and the acceptance, possession, use and/or misuse of any prize awarded in this Contest. The winner agrees that the Prize is provided as-is without any warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, whether now known or hereinafter enacted, relative to the use or enjoyment of the Prize, including, without limitation, its quality, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Each Participant understands and agrees that all rights under section 1542 of the civil code of California and any similar law of any state or jurisdiction of the United States are hereby expressly waived by him/her. Section 1542 reads as follows: “Certain claims not affected by a general release. 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.”

11.
