CONTEST RULES

We’re not much for rules here at iNerde. However, there are certain times in life when rules are necessary—such as when they help you win contests. So read the following, then get to entering. 

If you’re under 18, please make sure that your parent or guardian has read and agreed to these terms before you submit photos, text, or other content or information to iNERDE.

1. No purchase or payment of any consideration is necessary to enter the contest.

2. Entrants must send entries as required in the contest announcement in order to be eligible. Entries received after the deadline set forth in the contest announcement are ineligible, null, and void. iNERDE will not be responsible for and will not consider incomplete or incorrect entries. iNERDE is not responsible for entries that are sent to but not received by iNERDE for any reason.

3. All winners will be notified by the form/method of contact they provided to iNERDE when they initially entered the contest. If contest was entered by hashtags on Instagram, winner will be contacted on the same platform. If the winner does not respond to the notification within: forty eight (48) hours for contests entered via social media another winner will be chosen. Failure to respond within the time frame listed above shall mean that the provisional winner forfeits the prize.

4. Only one entry per person will be considered for contest entry unless the contest announcement specifically says that multiple entries are allowed.

All photos, drawings, text, and any other content or information (collectively and severally called “Materials”) that you submit to iNERDE shall become the sole and exclusive property of iNERDE, and iNERDE shall have no obligation to preserve, return, or otherwise make available to you or others any Materials.

7. By submitting Materials to iNERDE, you represent and warrant that the Materials do not infringe on any copyright, trademark, property rights, rights of privacy or publicity of any person, or any other right of any third party and that you have the full and unrestricted right to transfer the Materials to iNERDE free and clear of any claims or encumbrances.

By submitting Materials to iNERDE, you waive any privacy expectations that you might have with respect to the Materials.

10. You agree to hold iNERDE and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns harmless from and against—and hereby waive any right to pursue—any claims of any nature that arise in connection with iNERDE’s use of the Materials submitted to iNERDE and used in any manner in iNERDE’s sole and absolute discretion.
