(in which case those specific rules will apply). By entering a contest governed by these rules
(a “Contest”), entrants agree to be bound by these rules, and will be
deemed to have received and understood these rules.
2.

3.
Proof of Identity. Rogers shall have the
right at any time to require proof of identity and/or eligibility to
participate in a Contest. Failure to
provide such proof may result in disqualification. All personal and other information requested
by and supplied to Rogers for the purpose of a Contest must be truthful,
complete, accurate and in no way misleading.
Rogers reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any
entrant should such entrant at any stage supply untruthful, incomplete,
inaccurate or misleading personal details and/or information.
4.
Contest Period & Prizing. Details of the
prize(s) available to be won, the start and end dates, the start and end times,

Contest by means of applicable promotional materials, by means of the website
at www.btvancouver.ca (the “Website”),
and/or by means of any of the official social networking pages for BT.
The approximate retail value of a prize is available upon request during
the particular Contest entry period. Prizes must be accepted as awarded,
without substitution, transfer, exchange or assignment, unless otherwise
determined in the sole discretion of Rogers and/or the prize supplier(s). Prizes are provided “as is” without further
representation, warranty, or guarantee of any kind, whether express or
implied. Rogers and/or the prize
supplier(s) reserve(s) the right, in their sole discretion, to substitute a
prize or a component of a prize with a prize or a component of a prize (as
applicable) of equal or greater value, including, without limitation, a
monetary award, if the prize or prize component cannot be awarded by Rogers
and/or the prize supplier(s) for any reason.
Prizes may not be exactly as advertised.
5.
How to Enter. No purchase
necessary. Unless otherwise stated,
there is a limit of one entry per person per Contest. Entry mechanism(s) in respect of a particular
Contest will be noted by means of applicable promotional materials, via the
Website, by Rogers’s representatives, and/or by means of any of the official
social networking pages for BT. One or several of the following entry mechanisms
may be applicable to any given Contest:
A.
Online Entry: To
enter a Contest by means of the Website, go to the Website during the
applicable Contest entry period and click on the Contest banners, buttons
and/or links to access the online entry form for the Contest. During the applicable entry period, complete
the online entry form as instructed, including all required information. Incomplete entries will be deemed void. By successfully transmitting a completed
entry as directed, you will be entered in the Contest.
B.
Call-in Entry: To
enter a Contest by means of call-in entry, dial the telephone number provided
by the on-air BT host when prompted and be the correct caller, as determined
pursuant to instructions given by the host (e.g. be the correct sequential
caller). Once determined to be the
correct caller, you may be required to follow the instructions of a Rogers
representative to validate your eligibility (e.g. answer trivia questions).
C.
Email Entry: To
enter a Contest by means of email entry, follow instructions to send an email
to the email address provided by the on-air BT host when prompted, subject to any
content requirements as noted by the on-air host.

Social Media Entry:
For Contests with entry via one
or several social networking pages or services, entry must be effected during
the applicable entry period and by means of the applicable third party service
or site (each, a “Third Party Service”), pursuant to instructions
provided by BT (by means of any of its official social networking pages, via
promotional materials, via the Website, and/or by Rogers’s
representatives). To enter a Contest by
means of a Third Party Service, you must have a valid account with the
applicable Third Party Service and you may be required to have a public (i.e.
non-private) account. By creating an
account with a Third Party Service, you agree to comply with the Third Party
Service’s terms and policies.
Although Contests may be communicated, promoted, or
administered by means of a Third Party Service, all entrants acknowledge that
Contests are in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated
with, any Third Party Service and that any questions, comments or complaints
regarding a Contest should be directed to Rogers and not to any Third Party
Service. By participating in any
Contest, you completely release any Third Party Service of all liability in
relation to any injury, damage or loss that may occur, directly or indirectly,
in whole or in part, from your participation.
In
addition to the foregoing, unless explicitly stated, Contests are in no way
sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Apple.
6.
Restrictions: Entrant Submissions.
From time to time, a Contest entry mechanism may
require you to submit (whether via Internet upload or otherwise) an original
photograph, video, or written submission (collectively or individually, the “Creative Material”) to Rogers, subject
to instructions provided by Rogers or its representatives. By entering a Contest requiring a Creative
Material submission, you represent and warrant that your Creative Material (a)
is original to you, and that you have all necessary rights (including, without
limitation, copyright) in and to the Creative Material to enter the Contest;
(b) does not include content that is defamatory, libelous, pornographic or
obscene; and (c) does not contain, depict, include, or involve, (i) nudity,
(ii) explicit, graphic or excessive sexual activity, (iii) crude, vulgar or
offensive language and/or symbols, (iv) derogatory characterizations of any
ethnic, racial, sexual or religious groups, (v) content that endorses, condones
and/or pertains to any illegal, inappropriate or high risk activity, behaviour
or conduct, (vi) personal information of individuals, including, without limitation,
names and addresses (physical or electronic), without the consent of those
individuals, (vii) commercial messages, comparisons or solicitations for
products or services, (viii) any materially identifiable third party products
and/or trade-marks, brands or logos (materiality to be determined by Rogers in
its sole discretion), or (ix) any other content that is, or could reasonably be
considered to be, inappropriate, unsuitable or offensive, as determined by Rogers
in its sole discretion. You further understand
and agree that any Creative Material submitted with an entry may not be
returned to you upon submission to the Contest, and may be refused as entry to
a particular Contest in the absolute discretion of Rogers. By entering a Contest requiring a Creative
Material submission, you grant to Rogers a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free,
irrevocable, non-exclusive and unlimited licence to use your entry, including
the Creative Material, in any media and for any purpose related to the Contest,
and waive all claims of copyright and moral rights in the Creative Material,
and any rights that you may have to compensation, pertaining to any use,
reproduction, modification, adaptation, translation, alteration of, or creation
of derivative works from, the Creative Material by Rogers for any purpose and
in any media whatsoever. You further
agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Releasees (defined below) from
and against any and all claims or actions brought by a person whose consent was
not obtained by you, or by any person claiming that his/her/its intellectual
property rights, moral rights or personality or privacy rights are infringed by
the Creative Material or by Rogers’s use of the Creative Material in accordance
with these rules.
7.
Ineligible Attempts at
Entry. Any attempt or suspected attempt to enter a
Contest in a fashion not authorized by these rules (or by Rogers or its
representatives) shall be deemed to be tampering and will void all of your
entries. Entries that contain false
information and/or are late, lost, stolen, falsified, illegible, damaged,
misdirected, mutilated, garbled or incomplete, altered or otherwise irregular
or entries that have been submitted using robotic, automated, programmed, or
through illicit means, or that do not conform with or satisfy any or all of
these rules, as determined in Rogers’s sole discretion, will be judged null and
void and disqualified. Only entries
received by Rogers will be considered.
Proof of entry transmission shall not constitute proof of receipt. The sole determinant of time for valid online
entry in a Contest will be the Website server machine(s).
8.
Draw. For Contests where a winner is selected from
entries received, a random draw will be made by a representative of Rogers from
all qualifying entries received by the Contest deadline. A selected entrant will be disqualified and
required to forfeit any claim on the Contest prize if he or she cannot be
reached within a reasonable time period, as determined in the discretion of Rogers,
or if these rules are not adhered to.
Decisions and rulings of Rogers or its representatives are final and
binding without appeal in all matters related to Contests and the awarding of
prizes.
9.
Conditions of
Winning. To be declared a winner, a selected entrant
must correctly answer without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or
otherwise, a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question; be in full
compliance with these rules; and, in the discretion of Rogers, sign and return
a release of liability and consent to publicity form and any other
documentation as may reasonably be required by Rogers in its sole discretion.
10.
Prize Acceptance. A selected entrant may be required to provide
proof of identification when claiming a prize or otherwise in connection with a
Contest to facilitate the administration of the Contest and/or to ensure the accurate
identification of a Contest winner. Once
confirmation of a Contest winner is complete in accordance with the terms of
these rules, Rogers and/or any prize supplier(s) will promptly coordinate prize
distribution.
11.
Odds of Winning. Odds of winning depend on the number of
eligible entries received for a particular Contest, and any criteria used to
describe how to enter the Contest.
12.
Privacy. By entering a Contest and for the sole
purpose of Rogers’s administration of the Contest, you consent to the
collection, use and disclosure of your personal information by Rogers in
accordance with the Rogers Media Privacy Policy, available at www.rogersmedia.com/privacy. Online entrants
may be given the option to receive commercial emails and/or other
communications from Rogers or other parties; however, eligibility to
participate in any Contest is not dependent upon an entrant’s consent to
receive any such emails and communications, and consenting to receiving such
emails and communications will not impact an entrant’s chances of winning. Rogers will not send informational or
marketing communications to entrants, unless entrants expressly consent to
receive such communications through an opt-in mechanism. Entrants may at any time opt out of receiving such materials by
following the unsubscribe instructions provided at the bottom of any of these
communications. Please consult the
Rogers Media Privacy Policy referenced above for further information on how Rogers
collects, uses, and discloses personal information. Any questions or
concerns with respect to communications from Rogers may be addressed to the
Rogers Chief Privacy Officer, whose contact particulars may be found in the
Rogers Media Privacy Policy. Where you
elect to receive informational or marketing communications from a party other
than Rogers, you understand and agree that your personal information will be
shared with such other party for the purpose of facilitating the sending of
informational or marketing communications, and you further understand and agree
that your personal information, as shared with the other party, will be subject
to the other party’s privacy policy and information handling standards and
practices. In
connection with prize fulfillment, Rogers may be required to provide your
personal information to another party, including, but not limited to, any
Contest sponsor or prize supplier. By
entering a Contest, you consent to such disclosure of your personal information
in connection with the foregoing, and you understand and agree that, should
your personal information be provided to another party, your information will
be subject to that party’s privacy policy and information handling standards
and practices. You further acknowledge
and agree that, where you enter a Contest by means of a Third Party Service, any
personal information that you share with, or by means of, such Third Party
Service may
also be used by the applicable social networking service in accordance with
its own privacy policy.
13.
Release of Liability
and Consent to Publicity. By entering a
Contest, each entrant accepts and agrees to (i) be legally bound by these
rules, including all eligibility requirements, (ii) be bound by the decisions of
Rogers and its representatives or the independent judging organization, if any,
which are final, binding and conclusive (without appeal) on all matters
relative to the Contest; and (iii) waive any and all claims against Rogers, its
parent and affiliated companies, the Contest prize suppliers, the Contest
judges (if applicable), any and all other companies associated with the
Contest, and all of their respective employees, officers, directors, agents,
representatives, shareholders, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) for any injury, damage, or
loss that may occur, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from his/her
participation or attempted participation in the Contest or from the receipt or
use or misuse of any prize or any travel or activity related to the receipt or
use of any prize. By accepting a Contest
prize, each winner authorizes Rogers and its designees to use in any related
publicity the winner’s name, city and province/territory of residence,
photograph, image, likeness, voice, and any statements he/she may make
regarding such Contest prize for advertising and promotional purposes worldwide
in perpetuity, in any form of media including the Internet, without limitation
and without additional compensation or consideration, permission or
notification, unless prohibited by law; and each
winner waives any rights that may exist in respect of materials produced
pursuant to the foregoing.
14.
Limitation of
Liability. The Releasees are not responsible for (i)
stolen, late, incomplete, illegible, inaccurate, misdirected, lost, misrouted,
scrambled, damaged, delayed, undelivered, mutilated, postage-due or garbled
entries, transmissions, email or mail; (ii) lost, interrupted or unavailable
network, cable, satellite, server, Internet Service Provider, website, or other
connections, including those through and/or by any website; (iii) jumbled,
scrambled, delayed, or misdirected transmissions or computer hardware or
software malfunctions, failures or difficulties; (iv) failures or malfunctions
of phones, phone lines or telephone systems, any error, omission, interruption,
defect or delay in transmission, processing, or communication; (v)
non-delivered, misdirected, blocked, or delayed email notifications; (vi)
printing, typographical or other errors appearing within these rules, in any
Contest-related advertisements or other materials; or (vi) any other errors,
problems or difficulties of any kind, whether human, mechanical, electronic,
network, computer, telephone, mail, typographical, printing or otherwise
relating to or in connection with a Contest, including, without limitation,
errors or difficulties which may occur in connection with the administration of
the Contest, the processing of entries, the announcement of the prize or in any
Contest-related materials, or the cancellation or postponement of any
event. The Releasees are also not
responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by
Website users, tampering, hacking, or by any equipment or programming associated
with or utilized in a Contest. The
Releasees are not responsible for injury or damage to participants’ or to any
other person’s computer related to or resulting from participation in a Contest
or downloading materials from or use of the Website.
15. Laws and Rules. Except
as otherwise set forth above, Contests will be run in accordance with these
rules, which are subject to amendment by Rogers without notice or liability to
you. Contests are subject to all
applicable federal, provincial and municipal laws and regulations. These rules are governed exclusively by the
laws of the province or territory in which you reside, and you submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of such province or territory. Rights and
remedies may vary by province or territory.
16. Cancel and Amend. Rogers reserves the
right to cancel, modify, or suspend any Contest or to amend these rules at any
time and in any way, without prior notice, for any reason whatsoever. Without limiting the foregoing, if for any
reason a Contest is not capable of running as originally planned, for example
as a result of tampering or infection by computer virus, bug, corruption,
security breach, or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Rogers, Rogers
reserves the right to cancel or suspend the Contest and/or conduct a random
draw from all previously received eligible entries.
17. Conduct. Rogers reserves the
right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to disqualify without notice any
entrant that it finds to be: violating these rules; tampering or attempting to
tamper with the entry process or the operation of a Contest or the Website;
acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with the intent to annoy,
abuse, threaten or harass any other person; or attempting to undermine the
legitimate operation of a Contest. Any
attempt by an entrant or any other individual to undermine the legitimate
operation of a Contest may be a violation of criminal and/or civil laws. Should any such attempt be made, Rogers
reserves the right to seek remedies and damages to the fullest extent permitted
by law, including criminal prosecution, and to ban or disqualify an entrant
from the applicable Contest and any future contests.
18. Identity of an Online Entrant. If a dispute arises regarding the identity of
any loyalty club entrant, social media entrant, or other online entrant, the
applicable entry will be deemed to have been submitted by the authorized
account holder of the account provided at the time of entry. An entrant may be required to provide proof
that he or she is the authorized account holder of the account associated with
a particular entry. The individual
assigned by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other
organization responsible for assigning the applicable type of account is
considered the authorized account holder.
Whether or not an individual constitutes the authorized account holder
in question will be determined by Rogers in its sole discretion; and, if the
name of the authorized account holder does not accord with the full name
provided at the time of entry, the applicable entry may be disqualified at Rogers’s
sole and absolute discretion.
