Here are the Rules and Regulations for CHCH News daily prizes:
1. From time to time, Channel 11 Limited
Partnership ("Sponsor"), may offer contests ("Contests") via
the Sponsor television station, other televisions stations owned by or
affiliated with Sponsor, the internet, telephone, or radio
(the "Services") that are offered by the Sponsor alone or in connection
with a prize supplier (“Prize Supplier”).
2. In each such Contest, the available
prize(s) will be set out in the advertising or promotional materials
soliciting entries for the Contest in question (as applicable)
("Promotional Materials"). If a contest offered by any of the
other Channel Zero entity(ies) which includes Metro 14 (a.k.a. CJNT),
Movieola – The Short Film Channel, Silver Screen Classics,
OUAT Media and AOV (“Channel Zero Entity(ies)”) has
a set of official contest rules (as opposed to these Official Rules)
that apply specifically to that Channel Zero Entity contest
(“Channel Zero Entity Contest”), the terms of those
specific official contest rules will govern that specific Channel Zero
Entity Contest. These Official Rules govern all other
Contests offered by Sponsor in connection with the Services.
Unless otherwise indicated in the official contest rules or Promotional
Materials for the particular Channel Zero Entity Contest, entry into
one contest does not constitute entry into any other promotion, contest
or sweepstakes of any other Channel Zero Entity. Contest
offered on CHCH News will be subject to these Official Rules.
By participating in any of the Contests that are offered by CHCH News,
each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and
abide by these Official Rules (or the Official Rules for the specific
Channel Zero Entity Contest) and the decisions of Sponsor,
which shall be final and binding in all respects.
3. Unless otherwise indicated in the
Official Rules or Promotional Materials for a particular Sponsor
Contest, each “Contest Period” starts at 5:30 a.m.
on Monday, and ends at 5:29 a.m. the following Monday (with the
exception of statutory holidays where it commences at 5:30 a.m. on the
Tuesday following the statutory holidays and ends at 5:29
a.m. on the following Tuesday). All times are Eastern
Standard. No purchase necessary. Only one (1) entry per person per
Contest Period. In the case of multiple entries, only the first
eligible entry will be considered.
4. TO ENTER: Entry into the individual
Contest is by telephone entry only. Eligible participants may follow
the instructions as given by our CHCH News hosts, anchors or announcers
and dial 905-645-2002 OR 1-877-211-6688 (the "Entry Number") to enter
the Contest.
5. METHOD OF WINNING: The potential winner(s) for
each Contest will be selected by the order in which they successfully
call the Entry Number. Unless otherwise stated on air, the potential
winner(s) shall be the first (1st) person to successfully reach the
Entry Number, as determined by the Sponsor or its designated
representative, whose decisions are final and binding with respect to
each Contest. Odds of winning will depend upon the number and timing of
eligible entries received for the applicable Contest.
6. GENERAL ENTRY CONDITIONS: Entries
generated by script, macro or other automated means and entries which
by any means subvert the entry and/or participation process will be
void. Should multiple users of the same telephone number enter the
Contest and a dispute thereafter arises regarding the identity of the
entrant, the authorized telephone subscriber of said telephone number
at the time of entry will be considered the entrant and must comply
with these Official Rules. “Authorized telephone
subscriber” is defined as the natural person who is assigned
a telephone number by a service provider or other organization which is
responsible for assigning telephone numbers for the telephone number
associated with the entry. In the event a dispute regarding the
identity of the individual who actually submitted the entry cannot be
resolved to Sponsor's satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed
ineligible. Entrants may be required to submit proof of being
the authorized telephone subscriber of the telephone number associated
with the submitted entry. Sponsor’s database clock
will be the official time keeper for entries into each
Contest. Other "proof" of entering information through the
Services does not constitute proof of delivery or receipt.
Sponsor and/or the applicable Channel Zero Entity reserve the right to
modify the scheduling of a Contest without prior
notification.
7. ELIGIBILITY: Each Contest is open only
