RADIO NETWORK GENERAL CONTEST RULES – November 30, 2007
By
participating in a USA Radio Network contest on any USA Affiliated
Station, you agree to the specific rules, terms and conditions
provided
for that particular contest as stated, either in addition to
or in place of the Official General Contest Rules given here.
No
purchase is required to play or win on any USA Radio Network
(USA) contest.
All
contestants must be at least 18 years old to be eligible for
contests. Only one entry per household. A household is determined
as any individuals
residing at the same address.
After
winning a contest held by USA on an affiliated station, the individual/household
is ineligible to win all other contests held by USA on
any USA affiliated station for a period of thirty (30) days.
All
individuals/households
receiving a prize(s) valued at, equal to or greater than
$500.00 from USA may be issued a 1099 Federal Income Tax Form
by USA,
and
are ineligible to win a prize(s) valued at equal to or
greater than $500.00 for a period of one calendar year from the
date
of winning. If it is determined that a selected contestant
is ineligible
as a result of one or both of these restrictions, another
contestant will be selected. This procedure will continue until
these
restrictions are satisfied.
For
telephone contests, listeners may enter by calling toll-free
at 1-800-992-8721. If any problems are discovered by USA, different
call-in
numbers or addresses may be substituted and utilized after
those numbers
and addresses are broadcast on USA. In the event a caller
is disconnected during a contest before his/her name and
phone number is recorded,
then the prize will be awarded to the next caller whose
name and phone number are recorded. The person operating the
telephone
at
USA has the final decision as to who is the winning caller.
USA
shall have no responsibility for failure to win or claim any
prize based
on difficulties with telephone, facsimile, email, or
internet difficulties; or any circumstances in any contest.
Any
specific rules and/or restrictions pertaining to individual contests
(entry dates, a limit on number or words on an entry,
etc.) will be
disclosed in on-air announcements.
Prize
will be delivered by The Kotchen Group on behalf of P&G via Ground
delivery and signature by Fed Ex within thirty (30) days of notification
of a winner.
A signature will be required for receipt of prize.
In
the event the winner is subject to or the subject of any order
or legal process issued by any governmental agency having jurisdiction
over the affairs of the
winner (i.e. garnishment, child support order, judgment, lien,
and the like), USA delivery of the prize to the official representative
of the governmental
entity claiming a right to the prize shall be thus deemed as
USA awarding the prize to the winner. USA shall be entitled
to rely in good faith, upon any documents
presented by the representative seeking to collect the prize
in lieu of the winner. USA shall not be liable for any claim
by any winner for damages incidental thereto.
USA,
all participating co-sponsor companies and their advertising
and promotional agencies absolve themselves and shall be held
harmless from
any action or liability arising from any USA contest or prizes
awarded
in any USA contest. Winners may
be required to sign a release form and affidavit of eligibility
to claim their prize. Failure to do so may/will result in
forfeiture of prize.
Winners
consent to the use of their name, likeness, and all verbal and
written communications with USA for publicity purposes.
Employees
and families of USA Radio Network, all participating co-sponsor
companies and their advertising and promotional
agencies
and USA affiliated station employees
are not eligible. Household members of such individuals
are not eligible.
All
prizes are non-transferable and are not redeemable
for cash. USA reserves
the right to substitute a prize of similar value. USA
cannot be held responsible for unforeseen cancellations or
delays of
transportation caused by weather. Any
and all inquiries, concerns or problems concerning
the prize or its delivery should be directed to The Kotchen Group
at: The Kotchen Group
21 Brace Road
West Hartford, CT 06107
phone: 860-521-2266
fax: 860-521-2204
Winners
are solely responsible for all applicable local, state and federal
taxes. Winner may be issued a 1099 MISC
federal
tax form if in one calendar year the
prize value of all prizes won in contests from USA
and/or
participating
co-sponsors exceeds $600.00.
USA assumes no liability for situations, repairs, or incidents
arising from any
aspect of any prize awarded in any USA contest.
USA, their advertising agencies, affiliates, contest sponsors,
employees, and immediate
families of each absolve
themselves and shall be held harmless from any
action
or
liability arising from any USA contest or prize awarded
in any USA contest.
The
following are specifically related to E-contests and E-Mail promotions
on
USA Radio Network websites:
Due
to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the
internet, contests heard on USA’s internet audio
stream are slightly delayed from the time the contests are heard
on the
broadcast station, and will be running behind the
broadcast signal. Thus, all contests heard are delayed. This
delay can
last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means
that when USA contests are played which require
a specific caller to telephone the Network (such
as “Caller number
10 when you hear the sound effect”),
listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a
disadvantage in participating over those listeners
who hear the contests on-air.
All
giveaways and contests are void where prohibited by law. All
local, state
and federal regulations apply.
A copy of these rules are available during
business hours at the USA Radio Network studios, 2290 Springlake
Rd., Ste. 107,
Dallas, TX 75234
