Scavenger Hunt Official Rules

Contest Rules

1. GENERAL INFORMATION:

KCRW’s Scavenger Hunt (the “Contest”) begins at 12:01AM PST (US) on June 18, 2016, and ends at 11:59PM PST (US) on June 19, 2016, (the “Contest Period”). VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW.

2. TEAM LEADER AGREEMENT:

The Contest involves a competition between teams of up to five (5) players (each player, a “team member”). In order to enter, the leader of each participating team (each, a “Team Leader”) must register his or her team and pay a registration fee of five dollars ($5) per team through Tix.com. If you are a Team Leader, you hereby expressly agree that you have shared these rules with each of your team members and that all team members are aware of and have agreed to these rules. Without limiting the foregoing, a Team Leader’s registration for the Contest will constitute an affirmative agreement to these rules by each team member of that Team Leader’s team.

3. WHO CAN PLAY:

The Contest is open only to natural persons who (i) are members of a team whose Team Leader has downloaded the Eventzee application (“Eventzee App”), which is available via the App Store and Google Play, (ii) are members of a team whose Team Leader completed the registration, entered each team member’s name, and paid the $5 per team registration fee through Tix.com; (iii) are U.S. residents at least 18 years of age or older (at the time of entry) or are between 13 and 18 years of age and participating on a team whose Team Leader is the minor’s parent or legal guardian, and (iv) are eligible to enter the Contest as set forth in these Official Rules. Employees of the KCRW Foundation (“KCRW”), Munzee Inc., and TYP Restaurant Group, Inc. (collectively, “Contest Parties”), and their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion, fulfillment or other coordinating agencies, individuals providing services to KCRW through an outsourcer or temporary employment agency during the Contest Period; and their respective immediate family members and persons living in their same household are not eligible to participate in the Contest. The Contest is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. By participating in the Contest, entrants agree fully and unconditionally to these Official Rules and KCRW’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Eligibility to win a prize is contingent upon complying with and fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

4. HOW TO ENTER:

First, each Team Leader must assemble a team of up to five (5) total players. Prior to the Contest Period, the Team Leader must have downloaded the Eventzee App and registered your team through Tix.com as described above (note: each team member may also download the Eventzee App which, as explained below, may give their team an advantage in the game). During the Contest Period, your team must follow the rules and directions of the scavenger hunt as provided in the Eventzee App, which will provide a list of numerous clues/instructions (the “Challenges”) requiring at least one team member to take a designated photo in a specific location around Southern California, from places as spread apart as Palm Springs, Orange County, Santa Monica and Santa Barbara, and upload that photo through the Eventzee App. Each Challenge will be assigned a predetermined certain number of points. No other method of participation will be accepted. The Contest is a game of skill requiring teams to meet as many Challenges and score as many points as they can during the Contest Period. No drawings, sweepstakes, raffles or other elements of chance are utilized to determine the winning team.

AN ENTRANT MAY ONLY PARTICIPATE ON ONE TEAM. CHALLENGE SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED BY ONE ENTRANT ON BEHALF OF MULTIPLE TEAMS SHALL BE DISQUALIFIED.

The Eventzee App’s designated server’s clock will be the official time keeper for the Contest and will be used when determining eligible entrants. Please note that all times are based on the Pacific Time Zone so plan accordingly. All determinations of eligibility shall be final and binding. For the avoidance of doubt, KCRW may not provide entrant with confirmation of Contest entry.

5. WINNING TEAM DETERMINATION:

The winning team will be determined as follows: For each Challenge completed, the applicable team will be rewarded the points associated with that Challenge. Shortly following the end of the Contest Period, the accumulated points for each team will be tallied and 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be determined based upon the highest total points. In the event of a tie, the first tie breaker will be awarded to the team who completed the highest number of Challenges. In the event the 1st tie breaker still results in a tie, the 2nd tie breaker will be awarded to the team that completed its final completed Challenge at the earliest point of time during the Contest Period.

All photos properly submitted in connection with a Challenge will be reviewed by a panel of judges selected by KCRW to ensure the submission complies with the stated Challenge. Photos not in compliance will be rejected and the Challenge will be deemed to be uncompleted. The decisions of KCRW will be final and binding in all matters related to the Contest.

6. NOTIFICATION:

KCRW will make up to two (2) attempts over the 48-hour period following the winning team’s selection to contact each Team Leader of the potential winning teams via the email address associated with that Team Leader’s account on the Eventzee App. If such Team Leader cannot be reached during the 48-hour period in which he/she is contacted, such potential winning team will be disqualified and an alternate winning team will be selected using the same winning criteria described above from among the remaining applicable eligible entries received. The return of a potential winning team's notification, prize information, or the prize as undeliverable or rejection of the prize by the Team Leader of the potential winning team will result in disqualification of the potential winning team and an alternate potential winning team may be selected pursuant to the winning criteria. KCRW reserves the right to modify the notification procedures in connection with the selection of any alternate potential winning teams, if any. With respect to each winning entry, the Team Leader of the winning team may be required to provide proof that the Team Leader is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the winning entry and is otherwise eligible to enter the Contest.

7. PRIZES:

Prize: The first place team will be awarded a Five Thousand Dollar ($5,000) gift certificate to Tender Greens. Restrictions may apply. Approximate value: $5,000.

Each team member of the second place team will be awarded the following:

All prizes will be mailed to the Team Leader of the winning team via U.S. Mail at the address included in the registration information submitted through the Eventzee App or through such other means as may be agreed upon by the parties.

8. PRIZE CONDITIONS:

Except where prohibited by law, each team member of a potential prize winning team (or the a team member’s parent or legal guardian if the team member is a minor) may be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release and a Publicity Release, and a Tax Acceptance Form ("Affidavit/Release"). Such documents must be signed and returned by the date and/or time indicated within such documents. If the documents are not signed and returned within that time, or if an entrant is found to be ineligible, or if an entrant does not comply with these Official Rules, each as determined by KCRW in KCRW’s sole discretion, then such team member will be disqualified. Entrant waives the right to assert as a cost of winning a prize any and all costs of verification and redemption to redeem said prize and any liability which might arise from redeeming or seeking to redeem said prize. KCRW is not responsible for fraudulent calls or emails made to entrants not by KCRW. All entries are subject to verification prior to awarding of prizes. Eligibility, age, and claims made by prize winning teams also are subject to verification prior to awarding of prizes. As noted above, the prize will be awarded and mailed to the Team Leader of the winning team. The team members of such team are solely responsible for determining how the prize will be shared amongst the team members and the Contest Parties disclaim any liabilities that may arise from any disagreements.

9. ENTRANT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS REGARDING ADVANTAGES:

It is not expected that any team will be able to complete all available Challenges during the Contest Period. By entering this Contest, you and all of your team members acknowledge and agree that the number of Challenges your team will be able to meet, and, thus, your team’s chances of winning, will be heavily influenced by certain factors relating to the makeup of your team, including: (a) the number of team members (the more team members you have, the easier it will be to complete challenges), (b) the number of team members who have downloaded the Eventzee App (because pictures can only be submitted through the Eventzee App), (c) transportation options (if each team member has his or her own personal vehicle, it may be easier to complete Challenges quickly and some Challenges may not be possible with public transportation), and (d) separate transportation (team members completing Challenges individually will result in a team completing more Challenges than a team completing Challenges together).

10. PHOTO RESTRICTIONS:

By submitting any photo in connection with any Challenge or otherwise in connection with the Contest (each, a “Photo Submission”), each entrant grants the Contest Parties a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use his/her Photo Submission, and acknowledges and agrees that the Contest Parties may use, or not use, entrant’s Photo Submission, or any part of it, in any manner, in any media, at any time, in their sole discretion, including in a commercial manner and in advertising and promotions, and entrant forever releases and discharges the Contest Parties from any liability associated with any such usage.
