7. Competitions

Competitions or contests that you enter on the Services may have supplemental rules and conditions, but the following general rules apply absent contrary terms in any supplemental rules or conditions for the competition.

• Entries.  Your competition entry is User Content and subject to all provisions of these Terms that govern your submission and our use of your User Content.  We may disqualify entries that are late, misdirected, incomplete, corrupted, lost, illegible or invalid or containing false information.  Competition entries are limited to one per person and entries via agents or third parties or the use of multiple identities are not permitted.  Use of automated entries, votes or other programs is prohibited and all such entries (or votes) will be disqualified.
  
  • We reserve the right to modify, suspend, cancel or terminate a competition or extend or resume the entry period or disqualify any participant or entry at any time without giving advance notice.  We will do so if it cannot be guaranteed the competition can be carried out fairly or correctly for technical, legal or other reasons, or if we suspect that any person has manipulated entries or results, provided false information or acted unethically.  If we cancel or terminate a competition, prizes may be awarded in any manner we deem fair and appropriate consistent with local laws governing the competition.
    
  • Participation in any competition constitutes full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Terms and the decisions of Guru Fantasy Reports, which are final and binding. Winning a prize is contingent on fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

• Eligibility.  Our
  competitions are open only to residents of the United States who are 18 years
  of age or older at the time of entry. Unless otherwise provided, to enter a
  competition you must be a registered or subscribed user of the Services and
  have an active account with current contact information. No purchase is
  necessary to enter a competition and a purchase will not improve your chances
  of winning.  Competitions are not open to
  our employees (or their immediate families) or anyone else professionally
  associated with the competition. We reserve the right to request proof of age
  or identity or to verify eligibility conditions and potential winning entries,
  and to award any prize to a winner in person. 
  Competitions are subject to all applicable federal, state, and local
  laws and regulations. Competitions are void where prohibited or restricted by
  law.

• Prizes.  Winners will be notified via the contact information that you provide when you register or subscribe to the Services, or via social media, depending on the competition. You will be required to contact us within forty-eight (48) hours if you have been notified you are a winner.
  
  • No cash or alternative prizes are available, except that we (or the party providing a prize) reserve the right to substitute a similar prize of equal or greater value.  Prizes cannot be transferred or sold by winners.  Only the number of prizes stated for the competition are available to be won and all prizes will be awarded, provided a sufficient number of eligible entries are received and prizes are validly claimed by the date provided in connection with the competition, after which no alternate winners will be selected or unclaimed prizes awarded.  Unless otherwise disclosed in the prize description prior to entry, winners are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with claiming a prize.  All taxes are solely the responsibility of each winner, although we reserve the right to withhold applicable taxes and each winner agrees to complete any required tax forms.
    
  • Your acceptance of a prize constitutes agreement to participate in reasonable publicity related to the competition and grants us an unconditional right to us to use your name, town or city and state, province or country, likeness, prize information and statements by you about the competition for publicity, advertising and promotional purposes and to comply with applicable law and regulations, all without additional permission or compensation.  As a condition of receiving a prize, winners (or their parents or guardians) may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, liability release and publicity release.
