This Contest is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by or associated with Apple or Android.

 

HOW TO ENTER. Sponsor will encourage each player (the “Player”) to enter the Contest beginning on or around September 4, 2018 until December 31, 2018 (the “Contest Entry Period”).  To enter the Contest each Player must: ,

    1. Download the “This Is Not a Game: The Game” application (the “App”) through the Apple or Android store on your mobile device and establish your account (the “App Store Account”) as required at each storefront.
    2. Accurately complete the information within the App to create your user account, including without limitation providing your email address and accepting the documents provided therein (the “Account”)
    3. Players will receive a notification within the App to play a quiz about politics, the 2018 election, the Show, history and/or politics, and other topics as determined by Sponsors (the “Quiz”).  The Quizzes are currently anticipated to take place once a day (but there may be more or less than one per day) at specific dates and times as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
    4.  During each Quiz, Players are given a relatively short period of time to answer Quiz questions. If any question is answered incorrectly, the Player has not won the Quiz, unless the Player has and uses an “Extra Life” as described below.
    5. Sponsor will split the daily Prize (as defined below) evenly among all other Players who answer all questions correctly (or who otherwise remain in the Quiz due to use of an Extra Life).
    6.  Sponsor may also offer the opportunity to earn an extra life (“Extra Life” or “Extra Lives”) to Players in any lawful manner it chooses.  If a Player satisfies the conditions of the Extra Life challenge, he or she will get the Extra Life. Players who have earned an Extra Life may use one or more Extra Life per Quiz to reenter the daily trivia challenge.  Sponsor shall determine the number of Extra Lives that may be used in any one Quiz, and such number shall change.  Unless communicated otherwise by Sponsor, and Extra Life may not be used for the final question in any Quiz. Extra Lives may be earned outside of the App by, for example and without limitation, sharing the game with friends, determining the location of polling facilities, or signing up for voting reminders.
    7. Sponsor reserves the right to change any aspect of the Quiz, or the Contest generally, regardless of whether those changes make the Quiz or Contest easier or harder for you or others to play.

Each Player may establish, use and control one Account only, and each Player Account may only be associated with one PayPal account.  False or deceptive acts or entries, or entries generated by script, macro or other automated means will be void, will render a Player ineligible, and also may result in Player no longer being allowed to enter Sponsor’s Contest, or other promotions in the future, at Sponsor’s sole discretionEntries must be submitted by an eligible living person and the Prize can only be awarded to the Account holder whose name is on or corresponds to the App Store Account (or, if none, the primary email address associated with the Account as applicable).  The authorized Account holder is deemed to be the natural person who is assigned to the email address listed in the Account by the relevant entity responsible for assigning the email address for the relevant domain. Each Player may only participate with one Account and one device. Sponsor reserves the right to verify eligibility before awarding Prizes.

Failure to comply with the Official Rules and any other instructions for submission of an entry as available on the App, in the sole discretion and as determined by Sponsor, may result in disqualification of a Player’s entry (ies) and prize winnings.  All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.

 

PRIZES.   The winner of each Quiz will receive a cash prize in an amount based on: (a) the value of the Prize allotted to each Quiz, and (b) the number of other winners of each Quiz (the “Prize”).  In the case of multiple Winners (as defined below), the Prize will be split equally amongst all eligible winning entries for each Quiz via the App or elsewhere at a time and in a manner determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.  The total value of all Prizes you have accrued may be viewed in the App.  Prizes will be cashed out via PayPal, a third party payment service (“PayPal”) once a week, anticipated to be each Wednesday (but subject to change) during the Contest Entry Period.  You must set up an account with PayPal in order to receive your Prize, and failure to do so shall render Sponsor’s obligation to pay you (if any) null and void. Prize fulfillment will be subject to PayPal’s terms, conditions, and privacy policy, all of which can be found at https://www.paypal.com.  In instances involving payment of Prize amounts $600 or more, or other amounts determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion, Sponsor will only issue a Prize after the Winner has signed or otherwise accepted documents, including tax forms, as Sponsor has determined in its sole discretion.  Sponsor shall have the right to use your Account information to contact you and verify you as a Winner. Out of date or incorrect account information at the time you enter a Contest may disqualify you from receiving a Prize. Failure to provide valid, working contact information in connection with your account may result in termination of that Sponsor account and forfeiture of any Prizes awarded.  Each Winner will be notified by Sponsor within the App, email, or by using other contact information provided within the App, and must meet all eligibility requirements including, in certain cases, replying to Sponsor’s notification within a timely manner and executing and returning all necessary releases and documents (if any) required by Sponsor.   Winning a Prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth in these Official Rules.  Each Winner should receive his/her Prize(s) within approximately four (4) weeks from the date of Sponsor’s verification of him/her as the Winner, and all required documents have been submitted.  Only one Prize shall be paid to each Winner per Quiz.  Sponsors or PayPal may set a minimum amount of Prize value before allowing you to cash out your Prize.  If the total Prize value you win for any Quiz, or multiple Quizes, is less than one cent ($.01) then you hereby agree to waive your right to such Prize, and agree that Sponsor has no obligation to pay you such Prize.  Sponsor shall have the right to aggregate any Prizes that are under one cent ($.01), combine such Prizes with other forfeited Prizes (or not) and donate such Prizes to a charity or charities of its choice.

In the event nobody wins a Quiz, then Sponsors may allocate the Prize value associated with that Quiz to another Quiz, or to more than one Quiz, or allocate the Prize value in any other lawful manner, including without limitation a donation to a charity of its choice.

At the sole discretion of Sponsor, disqualification may result from any of the following: If the potential Winner (i) fails to respond to the notification sent by Sponsor within a reasonable period of time or no longer than five (5) days from the date Sponsor sends such notice, (ii) fails to sign and return all necessary documents within the time period designated by Sponsor, (iii) fails to cash out the Prize within five (5) days after the end of the Contest Entry Period, (iv) fails to provide Sponsor with satisfactory proof of age, identity and residency,  if requested, or (v) fails to comply with any of the Official Rules as outlined herein, such potential Winner may be disqualified and an alternate Winner will be chosen, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.

No substitution or transfer of prizes or cash redemption is permitted. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize (or portion thereof) of comparable or greater value in the event the advertised prize (or portion thereof) is not available for any reason, at its sole discretion.  Winners are responsible for the reporting and payment of all federal, state and local taxes (if any) and any other costs and expenses associated with Prize acceptance and use not specified in these Official Rules and/or in the applicable entry instructions as being provided.
