The Sponsor reserves the right to not accept any Submission which Sponsor determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not meet the above criteria or is
otherwise offensive or is not in keeping with the Sponsor’s image and reputation. Sponsor reserves the right to remove any Submission without prior notice.
Submission must be the original work of the Participant, may not have been previously published, may not have won previous awards, and must not infringe upon the copyrights, trademarks, rights of privacy, publicity or other intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity. If the Submission contains any material or elements that are not owned by the Participant, and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, the Participant is responsible for obtaining, prior to submission of the Submission, any and all releases and consents necessary to permit the use and exhibition of the Submission by Sponsor in the manner set forth in these Participation terms, including, without limitation, name and likeness permissions from any person who appears in or is identifiable in the Submission. Sponsor reserves the right to request proof of these permissions in a form acceptable to Sponsor from any Participant at any time. Failure to provide such proof may, if requested, render the Submission not to be considered. By providing a Submission, participant warrants and represents that he/she and any persons appearing or who are identifiable in the Submission consent to the submission and use of the Submission in the Search.
By providing a Submission via Instagram, Twitter and/or Facebook, the Participant consents to being contacted by direct message (“DM”) on the platform of submission if
selected as a potential award recipient. All Submissions, whether or not selected as an award recipient, become the property of the Sponsor and will not be acknowledged
or returned. Should multiple users of the same social media account participate in the Search and a dispute thereafter arises regarding the identity of the Participant, the
authorized account holder of said social media account at the time of submission will be considered the Participant and required to comply with these Participation terms.
The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned the social media account. Use of any automated system and use of any other devices to subvert the
submission process to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification (and all associated Submissions will not be considered). The potential award recipients may
be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder of said social media account.
- SELECTION OF GRAND PRIZE WINNER: All eligible Submissions received throughout the Search Period will be reviewed and rated by Sponsor based on a variety of factors, primarily focusing on Submission content that best depicts Participant’s pet as described above in Section 3. The one (1) Submission with the highest rating will be deemed the potential Grand Prize winner. In the event of a tie, an additional, “tie-breaking” judge will determine the potential Grand Prize winner based on the criteria listed above. Sponsor reserves the right to not award the prize if, in its sole discretion, it has not received a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Submissions. Potential winner is subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Participation terms.
- Grand Prize (1): One (1) Midea Cube 20-Pint Smart WiFi Dehumidifier (model MAD20S1QWT) (Estimated Retail Value (“ERV”) $178.00). The value of merchandise is based on the ERV at the commencement of the Search. No compensation will be offered for any difference in value between stated ERV and the actual ERV at time of prize award. Winner will be responsible for all taxes (including federal, state and local taxes) and any other costs and expenses associated with acceptance and use of the prize not described herein as being awarded, including, but not limited to any cost of a wireless service plan. All prize details are at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Prize is not transferable, redeemable for cash, or substitutable except by Sponsor, which reserves the right, at its discretion, to substitute the prize or portion of the prize with one of comparable or greater value. All prize details are at the sole discretion of the Sponsor.
- Potential winner will be notified by DM to their social media account on the social media platform in which they participated with instructions on how to claim the prize and will be required to respond within three (3) business days of date of its issuance. In the event that a response to any given DM is not received within three (3) business days of date of its issuance or potential winner is not in compliance with these Participation terms, the prize may be forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, the next runner up may be selected based on the criteria stated above. Potential winner may be required, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility and a liability release and, where legal, a publicity release within five (5) days of date of issuance of those documents or prize may be forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, the next runner up may be selected based on the criteria stated above. In the event potential winner is not in compliance with these Participation terms, or the prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the prize may be forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, the next runner up may be selected based on the criteria stated above.
