The 2011 Talenthouse campaigns begin at various dates to be determined (“TBD”) based upon each specific campaign (the “Campaign” or “CI”), and the related official rules (the “Official Rules”) of each Campaign. By entering a submission (the “Submission”), each participant (the “Participant”) agrees to the terms and conditions stated herein (the “Terms and Conditions”) and the Official Rules (together, the “Campaign Rules”) and warrants that his or her Submission complies with all requirements set out in the Campaign Rules. The CIs are skill-based Campaigns and chance plays no part in the determination of winners.

WHO MAY ENTER

The Campaign is open only to individuals who have reached the age of majority in their respective jurisdiction. Individuals under the age of majority are prohibited from entering any Talenthouse Campaign, as in their jurisdiction of residence at the time of Submission. The Campaign is not open to residents of, and is void in, the following territories: Florida, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Puerto Rico, the Province of Quebec, Sudan, or Syria. The Campaigns are also void where prohibited.

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998), Talenthouse is prohibited from collecting, and hereby represents and warrants that it will not collect personal information from a child in any manner that violates the regulations prescribed under subsection (b) of COPPA. Also, pursuant to COPPA, Talenthouse prohibits conditioning a child’s participation in a game, the offering of a prize, or another activity on the child disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in such activity.

Similarly, upon Talenthouse’s request, each Participant must assign all copyright and other tangible and intangible property rights in their Submission, which is an original work, to Talenthouse or the Host or Artist of a specific CI, as well as to consent, if necessary or warranted, to the reproduction, distribution, display, and / or creation of derivative works of the Submission in connection with the CI and promotion of the CI, in any media now or hereafter known, with all assignments and consents to be in form(s) provided by Talenthouse.
