By entering the Contest, each entrant agrees to abide by the terms of these Official Rules (the “Rules”) and by the decisions of the Sponsor and Judge (as defined below), which shall be made in their sole and absolute discretion and are final and binding on all matters relating to the Contest. The Contest is governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to any conflicts of laws principles. The Contest is void where prohibited by law. The Contest is also governed by the Privacy Policy pertaining to the www.teacollection.com website (the “Sponsor Site”), although the Rules will govern in the event of any conflict between the Privacy Policy and the Rules. 2. Who Can Enter. The Contest is open only to natural persons who, as of the date of entry, are legal residents of the 50 United States (including the District of Columbia), are at least eighteen (18) years old, have Internet access and a Facebook account, and have not won the Contest in the preceding 12 months. Employees, officers and directors of Sponsor, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and their partners (including store owners), suppliers, or advertising, promotion, and fulfillment agencies are not eligible to enter or win, nor are their immediate family members or members of their household. “Immediate family members” means parents, step-parents, legal guardians, children, step-children, siblings, step-siblings, or spouses. “Household members” means those people who share the same residence at least three months a year. 3. How To Enter: Submit a photo of your child’s artwork by email to blog@teacollection.com 4. Conditions of Entry: An entry consists of one (1) submitted photo (the “Submission”). The entrant must either be the parent or guardian of the child depicted in the Submission or have obtained permission from the child’s parent or guardian to submit the Submission. By entering the Contest, you authorize Sponsor to use and publish the Submission in connection with the administration and promotion of the Contest. Submissions must be original and must not contain any material that is degrading, defamatory, fraudulent, obscene, indecent or otherwise objectionable, or that infringes the legal rights of any third party. The entry must be received by the Deadline for that entry to be valid. Proof of submission is not proof of the Sponsor’s receipt and the Sponsor’s designated computer is the only valid official time-keeping device for the Contest. Entries without all of the required information will be disqualified. In addition, the Sponsor will have no responsibility for, and will have the right to refuse and/or disqualify, in its sole and complete discretion, any entries that do not comply with these Official Rules, any entries that have been tampered with, and any entries that are late, lost, illegible, inaccurate, misdirected, non-conforming, corrupt, or otherwise incomplete, whether due to Internet or email server failure, failure of the store staff to transmit them, or otherwise. Upon submission, all entries become the sole property of the Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned. Any attempt at or form of entry other than as expressly specified in these rules (including but not limited to automated, copied, third-party or mechanically reproduced entries) is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification. Sponsor will be collecting personal data about participants when they register and enter the Contest, and may share that personal data with prize suppliers, fulfillment providers, and other entities involved in the administration of the Contest. By participating in the Contest, you agree to all of the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy. It is the entrant’s responsibility to inform the Sponsor if the entrant’s contact information changes after the entry is submitted. 5. Selection of Winners: One (1) winner will be selected each month. The Judge will give each Submission up to 10 points for each of the following three criteria, for a maximum possible total of 30 points: (a) creativity; (b) composition; and (c) how well the Submission embodies the spirit of tea. The Submission with the highest total score will be that month’s winner. 7. Prize Terms: All prize values are stated in United States dollars. If a stated prize is unavailable, Sponsor has the right to substitute one or more items of equal or greater value, in its sole and absolute discretion. No prize is exchangeable, transferrable, or redeemable for cash. The winner will be solely responsible for complying with any and all applicable federal, state, provincial, local or other statutes, regulations, and other laws and for bearing any personal income, VAT, withholding taxes, customs duties, or other taxes, fees, insurance, surcharges or other costs relating to any prize.
