Contest Rules

WEKS-FM Standard Contest Rules Applicable to All Contests

A complete copy of these Standard Contest Rules can be obtained at the offices of radio station WEKS-FM, The Bear 92.5 (the “Station”), owned and operated by Legacy Media–South Atlanta, LLC, at 105 Stonewall Avenue East, Fayetteville, Georgia 30214, during normal business hours Monday through Friday, or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the address above.

The Station will conduct all contests, including on-air contests, email and online contests held on www.thebear925.com, and contests conducted through the Station’s social networking accounts (e.g., Facebook and Twitter), substantially as described in these rules. By participating, each participant agrees as follows:

  1. No purchase is necessary. Void where prohibited. All federal, state, and local regulations apply.

  2. Unless otherwise specified, only legal U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older and have a valid Social Security number at the time of entry are eligible to participate in Station contests. Individuals ages 13 through 17 may be eligible to participate in Station contests with the approval of a parent or legal guardian, provided that the parent or legal guardian is a legal U.S. resident who is at least 18 years of age and has a valid Social Security number at the time of entry in the contest.

  3. Dates, Terms, and Eligibility: WEKS-FM may change the dates and/or terms of a contest without prior notice. Any material changes will be broadcast on the Station and/or posted on its website at www.thebear925.com.

  4. Unless otherwise specified, employees, agents, and affiliates of Legacy Media–South Atlanta, LLC; its media partners; contest sponsors; other radio, television, and print advertising companies serving the Station’s metro area; and their immediate family members and household members are not eligible to participate in or win Station contests. The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents, siblings, grandparents, children, grandchildren, and cohabiting significant others.

  5. An individual may win a Station contest only once during a 30-day period unless otherwise specifically stated. An individual may win other seasonal or one-time contests only once for the duration of the contest. The Station reserves the right to limit the number of times an individual may enter a contest or drawing. The Station also reserves the right to require contestants to be present at drawings in order to win their prizes.

  6. Potential contest winners will be selected by the Station at its sole discretion. If the Station determines that a candidate is not eligible to receive a prize, another candidate may be selected for eligibility consideration. This process will continue until an eligible candidate is found. In the unlikely event that no candidates meet the eligibility requirements, the prize will remain unawarded. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined at the sole discretion of the Station.

  7. Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Other Signal Delivery: Due to the time delay that exists between the Station’s analog over-the-air signal and the Station’s online webcast, listeners who listen to the Station online may hear contest information or a cue to call later than listeners receiving the Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener winning the contest may be diminished.

  8. Unless otherwise stated, the odds of winning a Station contest depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the number of eligible entries received and the number of listeners participating at any given time.

  9. All state, local, federal, and/or other taxes, duties, tariffs, title fees, licensing fees, or other fees associated with awarded prizes become the sole responsibility of the winner. All individuals who win a prize or prizes valued at $600 or more during a given calendar year will be issued an IRS Form 1099 to report their winnings.

  10. All prizes are awarded “as is.” Prizes are nontransferable and cannot be exchanged, sold, or redeemed for cash or other prizes. No substitute prize will be awarded to a winner who declines to accept a prize. The Station shall not be responsible for the failure of participating sponsors to deliver prizes or any part thereof.

  11. All entrants and winners agree that the Station shall have no liability for any injury, misfortune, or damage to persons or property incurred by entering, participating in, winning, or losing any contest and/or through the use or non-use of any prize received in connection with the contest.

  12. Unless otherwise stated, all prizes must be claimed in person at the Station, at the address identified above, during regular business hours and within twenty (20) business days of winning, excluding holidays. After that time, ownership of the prize reverts to the Station, which may dispose of it at its discretion. The winner then loses all claims and rights to the prize.

    Proper identification must be presented by any winner claiming a prize. As a condition of receiving the prize, any potential winner must complete and sign a Winner’s Affidavit and Release, releasing the Station from all liability connected with the winner’s participation in the contest and acceptance, use, or non-use of the prize.

  13. All entry blanks, forms, devices, and materials gathered during the entry process, as well as all information contained on or within them, shall become the sole property of the Station to be used, disposed of, or destroyed at its sole discretion.

    The Station is not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information submitted by contest participants or entered by website users and assumes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications-line failure, theft, destruction, or unauthorized access to the Station’s website.

  14. All entrants and winners agree to grant the Station and its licensees, affiliates, successors, and assigns the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use, reuse, broadcast, or publish their names, cities of residence, photographs, videotapes, films, or any other likenesses, including portraits and pictures, in whole or in part, as part of a composite, retouched or distorted in character or form, as well as their voices, recorded or live, for any reason the Station deems necessary, without compensation, unless prohibited by law.

    All entrants and winners release, discharge, and agree to hold the Station harmless from any and all claims they may have against the Station in connection with the foregoing. All entrants and winners further acknowledge that the Station owns or will exclusively own any photographs of them used for such purposes, including the copyrights in those photographs, regardless of the form in which they have been or may be produced and used. All entrants and winners assign all such ownership rights to the Station.

  15. By participating in a Station contest, each participant agrees to receive email communications from the Station regarding Station events and contests. Any participant who opts out of these mailings will also be removed from the contest. Where allowed by law, participants also agree that the Station may disclose personal information obtained from contest participants to third parties and use that information for marketing and other purposes.

  16. By participating in a Station contest, participants agree to be bound by the decisions of Station personnel. Participants who violate any rule, gain an unfair advantage while participating in the contest, or obtain winner status through fraudulent means will be disqualified. Unsportsmanlike, disruptive, annoying, harassing, or threatening behavior is prohibited.

    The Station will interpret these rules and resolve any disputes, conflicting claims, or ambiguities concerning the rules or the contest. All Station decisions concerning such matters shall be final.

    If the conduct or outcome of a contest is affected by human error, mechanical malfunctions or failures of any kind, intentional interference, or any event beyond the control of the Station, the Station reserves the right to terminate the contest or make any other decisions regarding its administration or outcome that the Station deems appropriate. All decisions made by the Station are final. The Station may waive any of these rules at its sole discretion.

    ANY ATTEMPT BY A CONTESTANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY CIRCUMVENT, DISRUPT, OR DAMAGE THE ORDINARY AND NORMAL OPERATION OF A STATION CONTEST, TELEPHONE SYSTEMS, OR WEBSITES, OR TO UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF A STATION CONTEST, IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, THE STATION RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES FROM THAT PARTICIPANT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

  17. By participating in a Station contest, each participant agrees to waive any and all claims for damages resulting from death, personal injury, loss of property, or property damage that they may sustain as a result of their participation in the contest and/or use of any prize. This waiver also applies to any damages or losses arising from the implementation or administration of the contest, any participant’s failure to win the contest, or any participant’s failure to receive the prize.

    Each participant also agrees to release Legacy Media–South Atlanta, LLC, WEKS-FM, and their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents from any and all liability arising out of or connected in any way with their participation in the contest, even if that liability arises from an intentional act, omission, negligence, or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities identified above.

  18. A winners’ list may be obtained five (5) days after the conclusion of any Station contest by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Station at the address listed above.
