Release: By accepting a prize, the winning Competitor (“Winner”) agrees to release and hold harmless Expertise Events, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, suppliers, distributors, advertising/promotion agencies, and prize suppliers (if any), and each of their respective parent companies and each such company’s officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claim or cause of action, including, but not limited to, personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of property, arising out of participation in the Competition or receipt or use or misuse of any prize.
Oz Comic-Con reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Competition, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond Oz Comic-Con’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Competition, as determined by Oz Comic-Con in its sole discretion. Oz Comic-Con reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any Competitor it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Competition or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules of this or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Competition may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Oz Comic-Con reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Oz Comic-Con’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
Limitations of Liability: Oz Comic-Con is not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, typographical errors, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Competition; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Competition; (4) technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the Competition or the processing of entries; or (5) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Competition or receipt or use or misuse of any prize. If for any reason a Competitor’s entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, Competitor’s sole remedy is another entry in the Competition, if it is possible. If the Competition, or any part of it, is discontinued for any reason, Oz Comic-Con, in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for the prize offered herein.
