2. STATIONS WILL BE THE SOLE ARBITER IN ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THE PROMOTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENTRANT ELIGIBILITY, THE VALIDITY OF PROMOTION ENTRIES, AND THE INTERPRETATION OF ALL APPLICABLE RULES. ALL DECISIONS BY STATIONS WILL BE FINAL AND MAY NOT BE APPEALED. ENTRY INTO PROMOTION CONSTITUTES AGREEMENT BY ENTRANTS TO ABIDE BY THESE RULES AND ANYOTHER RULES ESTABLISHED BY THE STATIONS.

How to Enter/How to Win
3. Entrants are eligible to win only one Promotion every 30 days.  Unless otherwise stated, the Stations accept only one entry per person. By entering any Promotion, the Entrant agrees to abide by all applicable rules and the Stations’ decisions, which are fully and unconditionally binding in all respects. The Stations reserve the right to refuse, withdraw, or disqualify any entrant at any time in the Stations’ sole discretion. The Stations also reserve the right to substitute a prize, in whole or in part, with another prize or prize portion of greater or equal value as determined by the Stations.

4. For a Promotion that requires qualification, listeners may qualify only once, unless otherwise specified.

5. Depending upon the type of Promotion, the means of entry, and the entry information provided/required, the Stations may notify potential winners of such by phone, by email, by text message, by direct message or public post on social media network, by mail, and/or in person, as
applicable.  Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately at the time the Stations’ call, transmit, text, message, mail, or otherwise communicate such notification.  The Stations will only be required to leave one voicemail message, send one email, send one text message, send one direct message on social media, make one public posting on social media, and/or send one letter to qualify as valid notice.  The Stations reserve the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to contact any winner more than once, in their sole and absolute discretion, and will not be required to attempt to contact winners an equal number of times or in the same manner.  The Stations are not responsible for attempting notice at any number, address, social media handle other than those provided by the winner.

6. During an on-air Promotion, in the event of a dropped call, telephone line or mobile phone malfunction, or phone disconnection for any reason, the decision of the Stations’ management will be final.  Under the Stations’ discretion, the next caller in line may be taken and awarded the prize.

7. If a Promotion includes any on-air component, online listeners to the Stations’ Today’s Easy 99.1 web stream may experience a reception delay. Listening to the Stations’ over-the-air broadcasts is normally the best way to participate in a Promotion.

8. In specific circumstances, entrants may also register to win prizes on the Stations’ website. Unless otherwise stated, winners of the various Promotions are chosen randomly from all eligible entrants. The Stations are not responsible for entries not received due to difficulty accessing the internet, service outages or delays, computer difficulties, or other technological issues. All online entries must be filled out completely.

9. The Stations are not responsible for, nor shall have liability for, the winner’s failure to receive notices due to email security settings that may cause notifications to be marked as spam or junk email. Nor shall the Stations be liable for the winner’s provision of incorrect or otherwise non-functioning contact information.

10. Online entries will be deemed made by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of entry. Only one online entry per person is allowed per valid email address.

11. The Stations, in their sole discretion, reserve the right to disqualify any entrant for tampering with the entry process, the operation of the Stations’ website or related mass media outlets, or who appear in anyway to be otherwise in violation of the rules, including but not limited to the use of multiple telephones and/or multiple names during a call-in Promotion. The Stations further reserve the right to cancel, terminate, or modify any Promotion if it is not capable of completion as planned including, but not limited to, the infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, technical failures of any kind, or any act they perceive in any way as a violation of any rule/rules contained herein.

Failure to comply with the Rules and any other applicable rules will result in an entrant’s disqualification.
