Each Weekly Contest will be conducted among and between all eligible Entries received during the corresponding Entry Period. Entries must be received before the end of an Entry Period to be eligible for the corresponding Weekly Contest. Exact Entry Period Start Time and Entry Period End Time for each Weekly Contest will be determined by Sponsors in their sole discretion, depending on when the corresponding Games are scheduled. All Entries become the property of Sponsors and will not be acknowledged or returned. Weekly Contests, Games, Entry Periods, and Entry Period Start Times and Entry Period End Times are subject to change at the discretion of Sponsors and/or the professional leagues/associations or their member teams.

 

You may submit only one (1) Entry for each Weekly Contest. Multiple Entries received from any person beyond this limit will void all such additional Entries. Sponsors’ computer shall be the official timekeeper for all matters related to this Contest. Entries that are incomplete, garbled, corrupted, or unintelligible for any reason, including, but not limited to, computer or network malfunction or congestion, are void and will not be accepted. “Receipt” of an Entry only occurs when Sponsors’ servers record an entrant’s registration information and Entry during the corresponding Entry Period. Screen shots, printouts or any other purported “proof” or “evidence” of entry or winning whatsoever, in lieu of Sponsors’ validation process, shall not be binding under any circumstances. Proof of submission (such as an automated receipt, screen shots, electronic mail, etc.) shall not constitute proof of actual receipt of Entry for purposes of these Official Rules. In case of a dispute over the identity of an entrant, the authorized account holder of the Facebook account, Google account, or email address used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. “Authorized account holder” of a Facebook account is defined as the person who is assigned to a Facebook account by https://www.facebook.com/. “Authorized account holder” of a Google account is defined as the person who is assigned to a Google account by https://www.google.com/. “Authorized account holder” of an email address is defined as the person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.

SCORING AND WINNER NOTIFICATION: For each Weekly Contest, entrants will make specific predictions about certain Games, as instructed and provided on each Weekly Contest’s registration and entry pages. Entries will be awarded certain points (“Points”) based upon the outcome of the Games corresponding to that Weekly Contest. Scoring may vary by Weekly Contest. The specific scoring for each Weekly Contest will appear on the Contest’s scoring page.

 

There will be multiple potential winners (each a “Weekly Winner”; collectively, “Weekly Winners”) for each Weekly Contest. The entrants that receive the highest Point totals in each Weekly Contest will be deemed the potential Weekly Winners. Weekly Winners, and together with “Jackpot Prize Winners” (as defined below), may be collectively referred to herein as “Winner” or “Winners.” The number of potential Weekly Winners for each Weekly Contest may vary and will be provided on each Weekly Contest’s entry page.

 

On or about two (2) days after the end of each Entry Period, potential Winners will be notified through the NBC Sports Games App and/or at the Facebook account, Google account, or email address submitted at the time of registration or Entry. Sponsors will make two (2) attempts to notify potential Winners. Sponsors may share potential Winners’ names and contact information with Contest Entities and/or any prize provider, as applicable, if necessary. Potential Winners may be required at any time to provide Sponsors with additional documentation and/or information to verify their identity and provide proof that all eligibility requirements have been met (collectively, “Eligibility Information”). Potential Winners may also be required at any time to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility, release of liability, and, except where prohibited, publicity release (collectively, “Contest Documents”). Eligibility Information and Contest Documents must be provided and/or returned and executed within ninety (90) days of Sponsors request. Noncompliance within time period may result in disqualification from Contest or forfeiture of Prize(s), at Sponsors’ sole discretion. If a potential Winner cannot be reached, is found to be ineligible, cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, or if Prize (as defined below) or prize notification is unclaimed or returned as undeliverable, including, but not limited to, if the Winner fails to withdraw their Prize within a reasonable time as determined by Sponsors but in no event later than twelve (12) months from the date of last activity on the NBC Sports Predictor App, such potential Winner will be disqualified.

 

Scoring and Winner determination is based on the statistics, gameplay, and/or results in the Game as of the time when final Points are tabulated by Sponsors. Once Winner(s) are notified by Sponsors, the Contest results will not be changed in light of official adjustments made by the professional leagues, though Sponsors reserve the right to make adjustments based on errors or irregularities in the transmission of information to Sponsors from its statistics provider or in its calculation of results. Sponsors, in their sole discretion, also may make adjustments in the event of noncompliance with these Official Rules. Sponsors have no obligation to delay the awarding of any Prize(s) in anticipation of any adjustment, and Sponsors reserve the right to reverse the awarding of Prize(s) in the event of any adjustment. You agree to be bound by any such adjustments and to cooperate with Sponsors’ reasonable efforts to award Prize(s). Decisions of Sponsors are final and binding with respect to all matters related to the Contest.

 

To the extent that the NBC Sports Games App offers or displays “live” statistics during gameplay, all “live” statistics and other information provided through the Sponsors and related information sources are unofficial. Live sports statistics and their respective components are offered for informational and/or entertainment purposes only and are not used to determine the results of our Contest. While Sponsors and the third parties used to provide the Sponsors services use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information, neither Sponsors nor its third party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to the information provided through the NBC Sports Games App and related information sources. Sponsors and their third party providers shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the NBC Sports Games App and related information sources, and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information.

 

PRIZE: There will be multiple prizes awarded per Weekly Contest (“Weekly Prizes”) to multiple Winners. Weekly Prizes will be awarded based on the outcome of each Weekly Contest. Weekly Prizes may vary by Weekly Contest. The Weekly Prizes available to be won for each Weekly Contest will appear on the Contest’s prize page.

 

There will be one (1) Jackpot prize (“Jackpot Prize”) available to be won in each Weekly Contest. Jackpot Prize, and together with Weekly Prizes, may be collectively referred to herein as “Prize” or “Prizes.” The Jackpot Prize may be awarded to eligible Winner(s) (“Jackpot Prize Winners”) in a Weekly Contest who submit an Entry(ies) with a perfect Weekly Contest score (“Perfect Score”), as provided in the Contest’s scoring and prize pages. It is possible that there will not be any Jackpot Prize Winner(s). If no eligible entrant submits an Entry with a Perfect Score, no Jackpot Prize will be awarded. In the event that a Game featured in a Weekly Contest is cancelled or postponed for any reason, entrants will not be eligible to receive the Perfect Score and the Jackpot Prize will be cancelled for that Contest. All determinations regarding a potential Jackpot Prize-winning Entry, and the potential awarding of a Jackpot Prize, will be made exclusively by Sponsors, in their sole discretion, shall be final and binding, and are not subject to appeal. In the event of a tie, Prizes will be divided evenly between tied Winners, unless otherwise specified. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that if there are multiple Jackpot Prize Winners, the Jackpot Prize is split between the number of Jackpot Prize Winners.

 

Entrants may win more than one (1) Prize throughout the Contest. In the event that an entrant accumulates prizing with an Actual Retail Value (“ARV”) of six hundred dollars ($600) or more, Sponsors will furnish an Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 to such entrant for the ARV of Prize for the year in which Prize was won.

 

All details of Prize will be determined by Sponsors in their sole discretion and are subject to change.  Sponsors reserve the right to substitute Prize (or portion thereof) with a similar prize (or prize element) of comparable or greater value. All taxes and other expenses, costs, or fees associated with the acceptance and/or use of Prize are the sole responsibility of Winner(s). Prize cannot be transferred by Winner(s) and is valid only for the items detailed above, with no substitution of Prize by Winner(s). If Prize is unclaimed within a reasonable time after notification from Sponsors, as determined by Sponsors in their sole discretion, it will be forfeited.

Sponsors shall have no responsibility or liability for cancellations, delays, or any other change by any company or person providing any element of Prize, and are not responsible or liable for any expenses incurred as a consequence thereof.

CONDITIONS: By entering the Contest, each entrant agrees for entrant and for entrant’s heirs, executors, and administrators (a) to release and hold harmless Contest Entities and each of their respective officers, directors, and employees (collectively, “Released Parties”) from any liability, illness, injury, death, loss, litigation, or damage that may occur, directly or indirectly, whether caused by negligence or not, from such entrant’s participation in the or Contest and/or his/her acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of Prize or any portion thereof (including any travel related thereto); (b) to indemnify Released Parties from any and all liability resulting or arising from the Contest and to hereby acknowledge that Released Parties have neither made nor are in any manner responsible or liable for any warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, relative to Prize, including express warranties provided exclusively by prize supplier that are sent along with Prize; (c) if selected as a Winner, to the posting of such entrant’s name on the Website and the use by Released Parties of such name, voice, image, and/or likeness for publicity, promotional, and advertising purposes in any and all media now or hereafter known, throughout the world in perpetuity, without additional compensation, notification, permission, or approval, and, upon request, to the giving of consent, in writing, to such use; and (d) to be bound by these Official Rules and to waive any right to claim any ambiguity or error therein or in the Contest itself, and to be bound by all decisions of the Sponsors, which are binding and final.

Some areas of our Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which you should read carefully before making any use of those areas. For any contest, sweepstakes, promotions, including but not limited to game play, we will post additional terms in the form of Official Rules and your entry is at all times subject to those Official Rules.

These additional terms will be posted in connection with the applicable Services and will be in addition to these Terms of Use and at all times incorporated herein. Such additional terms will not change or replace these Terms of Use unless otherwise expressly stated. Where any direct conflict exists between these Terms of Use, or any additional terms, and the applicable Privacy Policy, the terms of the Privacy Policy shall take precedence. However, provisions unique to these Terms of Use (e.g., arbitration) will remain in effect as provided here. You must have (and, by using our Services, you warrant that you have) the legal capacity to enter into the agreement set out in these Terms of Use (i.e., that you are of sufficient age and mental capacity and are otherwise entitled to be legally bound in contract).

7. Wireless and Location-Based Features; Social Media Plug-ins

Wireless Features. Our Services may offer certain features and services that are available to you via your wireless Device. These features and services may include the ability to access our Services’ features and upload content to our Services, receive messages from our Services, and download applications to your wireless Device (collectively, “Wireless Features”). Your carrier may prohibit or restrict certain Wireless Features and certain Wireless Features may be incompatible with your carrier or wireless Device. In addition, your carrier may charge you for standard messaging, data, and other fees to participate in Wireless Features. Fees and charges may appear on your wireless bill or be deducted from your pre-paid balance. We have no responsibility or liability for any fees or charges you incur when using Wireless Features. You should check with your carrier to find out whether any fees or charges will apply, what plans are available and how much they cost. You should also contact your carrier with any other questions regarding these issues.

Terms of Wireless Features. If you register for any Wireless Features then you agree that, in connection with those Wireless Features, we may send communications to your wireless Device regarding us or other parties. Further, we may collect information related to your use of the Wireless Features in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you have registered via our Services for Wireless Features, then you agree to notify NBC Sports of any changes to your wireless contact information (including phone number) and update your accounts on our Services to reflect any changes.

Location-Based Features. For Services on mobile Devices (“Mobile Apps”) when you use one of our location-enabled Services, we may collect and process information about your actual location. Some of the Mobile Apps or Services require your location information for the feature to work. If you have enabled GPS, geo-location or other location-based features on a Device, you acknowledge that your Device location will be tracked and may be shared with others consistent with the Privacy Policy.

In addition, where any Mobile App collects precise information about the location of your Devices, it will be used to provide requested location services, and, depending on the particular Mobile App, it may be used, amongst other uses, to allow tagging or to check-in.

Some Mobile App(s) or feature(s) allow for you to disable location-based features or manage preferences related to them. However, you can terminate Device location tracking by us by uninstalling any Mobile App(s) or feature(s). The location-based services offered in connection with our Mobile App(s) or feature(s) are for individual use only and should not be used or relied on as an emergency locator system, used while driving or operating vehicles, or used in connection with any hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, or any other situation in which the failure or inaccuracy of use of the location-based services could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or property damage. The location-based services are not suited or intended for family finding purposes, fleet tracking, or any other type of business or enterprise use.

Please see our Privacy Policy to find out more about how to opt out of providing location information or contact privacy@nbcuni.com.

Social Media Plug-Ins. Social media plug-ins of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus (among others) may be integrated on our Services. Where our Services contain a plug-in to a social network, these are clearly marked (e.g. with a Facebook button). If you choose to click on one of these buttons or links, your browser connects directly to the servers of the relevant social network. The social network directly transmits the content of the plugin to your browser. If you are registered on the relevant social network and logged into your respective account the social network receives the information that the web page was used by you. If you interact with a social network plug-in (e.g., you press the Facebook “Like” feature, the Twitter “Tweet this” feature, Google Plus “1+” button, or equivalent) or drop a comment on the appropriate web page, the corresponding information is directly transmitted to the relevant social network from your browser. If you are not registered with the social network or you are logged out before you visit our Services, there is the possibility that at least your IP address will be submitted to and stored by the social network. If you interact with us through a social media platform, plug-in, etc., then you may be enabling us to have ongoing access to certain information from your social network profile (such as your name, social networking id page, e-mail address, photo, gender, location, the people/sites you follow, etc.).

If you don’t want a social network to collect the information about you described above, or to share it with us and other third parties, please review the privacy policy of the relevant social network and/or log out of the relevant social network before you visit our Services. As with other sites, you may be able to delete any existing cookies placed on your computer by the social network via your browser. See Section 1 of our main Privacy Policy  to find out more about how our Services contain plug-ins to social media networks.

This Section 25 is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and NBC Sports agree that we intend that this Section 25 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section 25 can only be amended by mutual agreement. For non-U.S. residents, if binding arbitration is adjudged by a tribunal to be unenforceable, the provisions of Section 26 below shall apply to all relevant disputes between you and us.

By using or interacting with the Site or our other Services, or engaging in any other NBC Sports Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.

We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. By using our Services, you agree that, if those efforts fail, any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against NBC Sports, and any claim that NBC Sports may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, or any NBC Sports Transactions or Relationships, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). If JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) at the time the arbitration is filed has Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness or successor or analogous policies in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute (“Minimum Standards”), NBC Sports agrees to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 25, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart (e) or (i) below. Furthermore, this Section 25 shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You further agree that:

1. Single Arbitrator. The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and NBC Sports (the “Arbitrator”);
2. Arbitrator Will Interpret This Agreement. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use and/or the arbitration provisions in this Section 25, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable;
3. Location of Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined by JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) pursuant to the Applicable Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and NBC Sports; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission.
4. Governing Law. The Arbitrator shall (i) apply internal laws of the State of New York consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the U.S., irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with New York or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief;
5. No Class Relief. The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or NBC Sports’ individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;
6. Written Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets;
7. Arbitration Costs. In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of Arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, NBC Sports will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith;
8. Reasonable Attorney’s Fees. In the event you recover an Award greater than NBC Sports’ last written settlement offer, the Arbitrator shall also have the right to include in the Award NBC Sports’ reimbursement of your reasonable and actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees associated with the Arbitration, but NBC Sports shall in all events bear its own attorneys’ fees; and
9. Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause. With the exception of subpart E above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart E is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor NBC Sports shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute, and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Modification of Arbitration Clause with Notice. NBC Sports may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after NBC Sports has given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from NBC Sports Transactions and Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification.

Small Claims Matters are Excluded; No Class Relief or Joinder of Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, at your option, you may bring any claim you have against NBC Sports in your local small claims court within the U.S. if your claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided, that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding.
