4. Additional Information. Sponsor reserves the right to contact an Entrant for any reason including to request resubmission of one or more of the Submitted Materials and/or to request that the Entrant submit Additional Materials (as such term is defined below). If an Entrant cannot be reached within a reasonable period of time at the contact information provided, their entry may be disqualified.

Should such a document be required, your submission shall not constitute a completed submission unless and until such consent and release have been duly executed by you and timely delivered to the Sponsor.

6. Ownership of Submitted Materials. Submitted Materials become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned. For greater certainty, Entrants retain ownership of their intellectual property in Submitted Materials but grant a license to RNR and Sponsor when they submit a qualifying entry to Sponsor.

By submitting the Submitted Materials, you represent and warrant to Sponsor and each Promotion Entity that you have sufficient legal rights over such Submitted Materials to grant the aforementioned rights to Sponsor and each Promotion Entity. You further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sponsor and each Promotion Entity from any and all claims of intellectual property infringement/violation of rights made by any party against Sponsor and/or a Promotion Entity for their use, possession, and/or dissemination of the Submitted Materials.

7. Entry Period. Except as otherwise permitted herein, only one entry per person will be accepted; all subsequent entries will be disregarded. However, should the Sponsor determine in its sole discretion that a given Entrant has engaged in repeated, egregious or blatant violations of the entry limit, all entries by such individual in the corresponding competition will be declared void and they will be disqualified from the Competition and perhaps future Competitions offered on the Website and/or Applicatio. Entrants may submit their entry forms using the above procedures anytime during the entry period. Late Entrants or Submitted Materials will not be accepted. Whozdope’s server shall function as the official clock for all purposes of the Competition. The date of entry during the entry period will not affect the chances of being chosen. The entry period shall be as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor and may be extended without notice at any time.

Upon submission of any Additional Materials, the Entrant agrees that such Additional Materials shall immediately constitute Submitted Materials for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions. The public placement of Submitted Materials on the Platform merely functions as Sponsor’s preliminary, non-binding determination that such Submitted Materials are eligible and in compliance with these Terms and Conditions; Sponsor reserves the right, without liability of any kind, to later conclude that Submitted Materials (or the Entrant responsible for same) are in violation of these Terms and Conditions. If publicly placed on the Platform, Entrant understands and agrees that (a) the Submitted Materials may differ from what they submitted to Sponsor when entering the Competition due to technological limitations or malfunctions; (b) Sponsor will use the Entrant’s first name, last initial (or, if provided and in compliance with Sponsor’s guidelines, the Entrant’s user name) to attribute Submitted Material to Entrant; (c) Sponsor may display Submitted Materials as well as “thumbnail” images of same in any pattern, sequence or order of Sponsor’s sole choosing which may be modified one or more times.

In the event that any Entrant is determined to be ineligible, she or he may be disqualified at the Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion and her or his Submitted Materials will be removed, but Sponsor is not obligated to replace her or him with another Entrant. If the Entrant does not own or control sufficient rights in the Submitted Materials to grant the requisite rights to Sponsor, the Submitted Materials in question will be removed from the Platform until such time that sufficient proof has been provided to establish copyright/intellectual property ownership. The selection of the Entrants shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, whose decisions shall be final, and shall be based on the criteria listed in the additional rules on the Contest Page.
