The Your California Show (URCA) will conduct all Contests, including on-air contests, email and online contests held on YourCaliforniaShow.com, and contests conducted through the URCA’s social networking accounts (e.g., Facebook, Twitter), substantially as described in these rules, and by participating each participant agrees as follows:
No purchase is necessary. Void where prohibited. All federal, state, and local regulations apply.
Unless otherwise specified, only legal U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older with a valid Social Security number at the time of entry are eligible to participate in URCA contests. Individuals age 13 to 17 may be eligible to participate in URCA contests with the approval of a parent or legal guardian, provided that the parent or legal guardian is a legal U.S. resident at least 18 years of age with a valid Social Security number at the time of entry in the contest.
Employees, agents and affiliates of URCA, contest sponsors, and their immediate family members and household members are not eligible to participate or win contests. The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents, siblings, grandparents, children, grandchildren and cohabiting significant others.
URCA reserves the right to limit the number of times an individual may enter a contest or drawing. Unless otherwise specified, an individual who has won a URCA contest prize (of any value) is not eligible to win another one for sixty (60) days from the date the first prize was won. An individual who has won a prize with a value of $600.00 or more is not eligible to win another URCA contest prize for six months from the date the original prize was won.
Potential contest winners will be selected by URCA in its sole discretion. If it is determined by URCA that a candidate is not eligible to receive a prize, another candidate may be selected for eligibility consultation and this process will continue on until such time as an eligible candidate is found. In the unlikely event that no candidates are found to meet the specifications, then the prize will go un-awarded. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by and at the sole discretion of URCA.
Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Other Signal Delivery: Due to the time delay that exists between URCA’s analog over-the-air signal and URCA’s online webcast, listeners who listen to URCA online may hear Contest information or a cue to call later than listeners listening to URCA’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener winning this Contest may be diminished.
All State, Local, Federal and or other taxes, duties, tariffs, title fees, licensing fees, or other fees for prizes awarded become the sole responsibility of the winner. All those who win a prize or prizes valued $600 or more in a given calendar year will be issued an IRS Form 1099 to report their winnings.
All prizes are awarded “as is.” Prizes are nontransferable and cannot be exchanged, sold, or redeemed for cash or other prizes. No substitute prize will be awarded to a winner who declines to accept a prize.
Unless otherwise stated, the odds of winning a URCA contest depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to the number of eligible entries received and the number of listeners participating at any given time.
URCA shall not be responsible for a failure of participating sponsors to deliver the prizes or any part thereof.
All entrants and winners agree that URCA shall have no liability for any injury, misfortune, or damage to either persons or property incurred by entering, participating in, winning, or losing any contest and/or by the use or non-use of any prize received in connection with this contest.
Unless otherwise specified, all prizes must be claimed within ten (10) business days of winning, excluding holidays. After such time, ownership of said prize reverts back to URCA to be disposed of at its discretion. The winner then loses all claims and rights to said prize.
Proper identification must be presented by any winner to claim prize. As a condition to receiving the prize, any potential winner must complete and sign a Winner’s Affidavit and Release, releasing URCA from all liability in connection with winner’s participation in the contest and acceptance, use, or non-use of the prize.
