Sweepstakes Rules

===========================================================================

That's our official thread post on the entry thread. This thread is where you can discuss the actual contest, talk to the admins, etc etc. Join in and see if you get one of the lucky three badges!

Loving the contests Alla.

Aethien has a point. Can we have an alternate sweepstakes for the folks who are not eligible for this contest? A bit of premium, fan pics of DF, something so that a chunk of the regular forum posters don't just get dealt out?

I seriously want ZAM to sponsor (Sponsor?) a Canadian contest.

See how you all like that! :D

Sure, I'd love to go.

... in the wrong thread for entering the sweepstakes.

Wouldn't the contest likely have to be within the rules of each country you wanted to have it available to, thus making a "non-US residents" contest extremely hard to do, what with each country having differing laws?

The one on the news post.

we do the same thing for US contests and because of similar concerns -- more than 50 varying sets of laws.

Notice the language used for the US only version:



A boilerplate disclaimer under "Eligibility" addresses conflict of law at the federal, state and local level; similar language is repeated under "Conditions of Participation/Release". It is routine boilerplate, the key restriction is that the offer is void where prohibited (sometimes drafted as prohibited or limited by law).

I'm sure one of our European members could provide an example of similar disclaimers used there.

Note: I realize that Wordaen and the other admin's don't write the contest rules. This is simply a post in the discussion thread and is not intended as criticism of their efforts. File it under the category of "well, why can't we improve the situation?"
