In the event that separate specific rules are issued for an individual contest, those rules, not these general rules, are controlling. By participating, each participant agrees as follows:

1. Eligibility

b. Unless otherwise specified, all Contests are open only to legal U.S. residents age eighteen (18) years or older at the time of entry with a valid Social Security number. At times individuals age thirteen (13) to seventeen (17) may be eligible to participate in Contests with the approval of a parent or legal guardian, provided that the parent or legal guardian is a legal U.S. resident at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time of entry with a valid Social Security, but Sponsor reserves the right to refuse to award certain prizes to or on behalf of any minor.

c. The following individuals not eligible to enter Contests:

Employees (and their Immediate Families and Members of the Same Household) of Case Communications LLC and other sponsors, their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, distributors, agents, judges, and advertising, promotional, and fulfillment agencies (collectively, the “Sponsors” and, individually, sometimes a “Sponsor”);

iii. Any individual who has himself or herself has won a Contest conducted by Sponsor in the past one hundred-eighty (180) calendar days or is the Immediate Family Member or Member of the Same Household of someone who has won a Contest conducted by Sponsor in the past one hundred-eighty (180) calendar days, if the prize for such Contest was valued over $500.00 and

Any individual who has himself or herself has won a Contest conducted by Sponsor in the past thirty (30) calendar days or is the Immediate Family Member or Member of the Same Household of someone who has won a Contest conducted by Sponsor in the past thirty (30) calendar days, if the prize for such Contest was valued up to $500.00.

d. The following definitions shall apply to Contests:

i. The term “Immediate Family Members” includes spouses, parents and step-parents, siblings and step-siblings, and children and step-children; and

ii. The term “Members of the Same Household” refers to people who share the same residence at least three (3) months out of the year.

2. Contest Entry

b. Entry forms must be completed in their entirety, and may require information including but not limited to: the entrant’s first name, last name, e-mail address, street address (including city, state, and zip code), and telephone number (as applicable).

i. Entrants may not use an assumed name or alias (other than a screen name where a contest involves use of a social media site).

ii. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the email address, social media account, or telephone number used to enter will be deemed to be the participant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned the telephone number by the wireless carrier, the social media account in question, or an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. A potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.

(a) For contests where e-mail entries are permitted, e-mail entries containing applicable attached files and entries that do not comply with these Official Rules for All Contests (the “Official Contest Rules”) are not eligible and will be rejected. Any use of robotic, macro, automatic, programmed, or the like entry methods will void all such entries by such methods. Each e-mail entry shall be deemed to have been sent by the authorized account holder, at the time of such entry, of the e-mail address indicated on such entry;

(b) For contests where online games are involved, any use of scripts, software, or other methods of cheating in online games will invalidate eligibility of entrants. Entrants may only use one open browser window to play online games; the use of more than one browser window constitutes cheating and will invalidate eligibility of an entrant;

(d) For contests where telephone entry is involved, participants that enable the “Caller ID” block function will not be allowed to participate unless they enter their correct area code and telephone number.

d. Entries that are incomplete, tampered with, illegible, mechanically reproduced, inaccurate, forged, irregular in any way, or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Contest Rules will be disqualified.

e. Sponsors reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to cancel, modify, terminate, or suspend a contest if fraud, technical failure, tampering, viruses, bugs, non- authorized human intervention, or any other causes beyond the control of Sponsors inhibit, corrupt, destroy, or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of a contest and Sponsors may void suspect entries and/or disqualify any individual who engages in or attempts any such activity. Any attempt to damage the operation of a contest is unlawful and subject to legal action.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Wisconsin, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules, which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of Wisconsin.

6. Winner Notification

a. POTENTIAL CONTEST WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONTEST. The potential winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules and/or the Rules of the specific Contest, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements.

Winner and any guest must travel on the same itinerary. Trips are non-transferable and no substitution will be made except as provided at the Sponsor’s or prize provider’s sole discretion.

Prize winners will pay to the Sponsors any applicable sales and/or use taxes associated with the awarding of prizes which the Sponsors are required to collect by taxing authorities.

All winners further agree to the use of their name and likeness for such purposes without limitation and without any compensation whatsoever, except where prohibited by law.

8. Limitations of Liability

a. Sponsors are not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in any contest or by any technical or human error that may occur in the processing of entries in a contest. Sponsors assume no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction, tampering, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, entries or entry information. Sponsors are not responsible for lost, mutilated, late, postage due, incomplete, incorrect, or misdirected requests for entry forms.

b. Sponsors are not responsible for technical, hardware, software, or telephone failures of any kind, lost or unavailable network connections, or failed. incomplete, garbled, or delayed computer transmissions whether caused by Sponsors, user, or by any technical or human error that may occur in the processing of entries which may damage a user’s system or limit or interfere with an entrant’s ability to take part in a contest. In addition, Sponsors shall not be responsible for any damage to any computer or other property resulting from participating in, or downloading any materials for, any contest.

c. Sponsors are not responsible for prizes awarded erroneously by software or hardware error or by improper play.

d. By entering a contest, entrant understands and acknowledges that on entrant’s own behalf and on behalf of entrant’s heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, and assigns, the entrant waives and releases any and all rights, claims, and causes of actions whatsoever that entrant may have against the Sponsors, their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, agents, officers, directors, and employees for any matter, claim, harm, damage, liability, cost, loss, injury, expense (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred), cause, or thing whatsoever arising out of, or any way related to, entrant’s participation in the contest, entrant’s registration with the Sponsors, the submission of any entry, or the acceptance, receipt, redemption, or use and/or misuse of any prize and/or goods and services related thereto or participation in any prize-related activity.

e. PRIZES ARE AWARDED “AS IS” AND SPONSORS NEITHER MAKE NOR ARE IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, OR GUARANTEE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. IN FACT, OR IN LAW, RELATIVE TO A CONTEST OR ANY PRIZE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

f. Due to the nature of our programs that are heard over the internet, contests heard on the radio station’s internet audio stream are slightly delayed from the time the contests heard on broadcast station and will be running behind the broadcast signal. Thus, all contests heard are delayed. The delay can last for 30 seconds up to several minutes. This means that when the station announces the cue to call in the contest, listeners to the online audio stream may be at a disadvantage participating over those listening to the contest on a conventional radio. For this contest, the station will start counting down when the announcement is made on the radio.

9. All entry blanks, forms, devices, and materials gathered during the course of entry, as well as all information contained on or within, shall become the sole property of Sponsor to be used, disposed of or destroyed in its sole discretion. Sponsor is not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information entered by website users, and assumes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to a Sponsor website.

b. Void where prohibited by law.

c. The invalidity or enforceability of any provision of these rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any such provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, these rules shall be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained therein.

d. Sponsor may cancel any Contest or any part of a Contest, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Contest, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or to be acting in violation of any federal, state or local law. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of a Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek legal remedies including damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, waive or change any of these Official Rules in a particular case, but will advise the public of such waiver or changes as practicable as possible after they are made.

e. Additional copies of these Official Contest Rules and contest-specific rules may be obtained by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the official rules request address or to the station.

g. In addition to these Official Contest Rules, a contest may also have additional rules applicable only to that specific contest. Those contest-specific rules are available in materials detailing the contest and are available upon request.
