You may also include additional content as part of your comment regarding your interest in the OLD PARR sponsored  “THE HUNGRY POST virtual house party” but you are not required to do so to enter the Sweepstakes nor will doing so increase your chances of winning a prize in the Sweepstakes.  In such case:

 

Any content, material or information included in comment shall not be confidential, proprietary or trade secret. Prospective entrant represents and warrants that the comment is their sole, original work and that it does not infringe upon the rights of any other party, including but not limited to any intellectual property, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any other party.* No comment shall (a) reference persons consuming alcoholic beverages; (b) reference persons conducting themselves in an inappropriate manner; (c) contain material that would imply that the consumption of alcoholic beverages is acceptable before or while operating machinery, driving a vehicle or undertaking any other activity that requires a high degree of alertness or physical coordination; (d) contain any material that would degrade or demean the human form, image or status of women, men or the members of any group based on race, religion, ethnic background, sexual orientation or any other minority status; or (e) include a reference to any person who is or may be under 21 years of age (including but not limited to tagged friends).  Obscene, provocative, lewd or otherwise objectionable content or those which reflect poorly on the OLD PARR brand as well as content which is irrelevant to the theme of one’s interest in the upcoming OLD PARR sponsored  “THE HUNGRY POST“ virtual house party” are prohibited and will not result in Sweepstakes entry (even if person posting such comment is eligible for the Sweepstakes and otherwise fully complied with these Official Rules) and the determination of the appropriateness/relevance of any comment is at the sole discretion of  Sponsor and/or The Hungry Post, LLC. Should Sponsor or The Hungry Post, LLC identify any comments which are violative of the preceding requirements, Sponsor and/or The Hungry Post, LLC each reserve the right to petition Facebook, Inc./Instagram to remove such comments from the Instagram social media platform and to otherwise take any and all necessary and appropriate actions so as to protect their respective legal rights (this is in addition to the person posting such comment not being entered in the Sweepstakes).

 

*Prospective entrant further represents and warrants that his/her identification of tagged friends in his/her comment/entry was with the prior consent of each such tagged friend and that such identification therefore does not infringe upon the rights of any of the tagged friends.

 

ANY ADDITIONAL CONTENT INCLUDED IN A POSTED COMMENT REPRESENTS SOLELY THE VIEWS/OPINIONS OF THE PROSPECTIVE ENTRANT HIM/HERSELF AND DOES NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS/OPINIONS OF SPONSOR OR THE HUNGRY POST, LLC IN ANY MANNER. SPONSOR AND THE HUNGRY POST, LLC WILL NOT REVIEW ANY SUCH ADDITIONAL CONTENT PRIOR TO THE POSTING OF SAME BY PROSPECTIVE ENTRANTS AND BOTH ENTITIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN CONJUNCTION THEREWITH.

 

One (1) entry per person. (However, a person who is a legal U.S. resident of Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey or New York State MAY enter the Sweepstakes as well as being the tagged friend of one [1] or more other entrants.) Commenting more than once, use of multiple Instagram accounts or any other method to violate the preceding entry limit will result in voiding of all entries made by such person with disqualification of such person. (However, such disqualification will not affect the eligibility of friends tagged in such person’s entry assuming that such tagged friends are (a) legal U.S. residents of Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey or New York State and (b) choose to enter the Sweepstakes themselves.) A given Instagram account may only be used by one (1) person to participate in the Sweepstakes as an entrant and/or a tagged friend.

 

Sponsor is not responsible for telephone or cell phone service disruptions or other equipment or service issues that might affect a person’s ability to access the official OLD PARR Instagram page and/or THE HUNGRY POST Instagram page and thereafter enter the Sweepstakes or the ability of the Sponsor to notify the winners. Sponsor assumes no responsibility for lost, late, damaged, misdirected, illegible, corrupted, jumbled, garbled, incomplete, inaccessible, incorrect entries or other Sweepstakes materials, all of which are void.    All entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned. Any acknowledgment of receipt of entry, including any reply comment posted by The Hungry Post, LLC on its official Instagram page or any comment posted by Sponsor on the official OLD PARR Instagram page does not constitute any representation of eligibility for the Sweepstakes nor is it otherwise binding upon the Sponsor or The Hungry Post, LLC.

If additional content is included in a comment/entry, the nature of such additional content will not be taken into account in the winner selection procedure provided that such additional content is in compliance with these Official Rules including Rule 2 above.

Winner agrees that an electronic signature/affirmation or facsimile version of the declaration shall have the same legal force and effect as a hand-signed document; but, should Sponsor and/or The Hungry Post, LLC determine in their sole discretion that the electronically signed/affirmed/facsimile version of the declaration is unreliable or unacceptable in any respect, award of the prize will be made contingent upon winner returning the original “hard copy” of the declaration bearing his/her actual physical signature.  If winner cannot be located or does not respond to attempt to be contacted within six (6) hours,  prize will automatically be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Except where prohibited, acceptance of prize constitutes winner’s consent to use of his/her name, likeness and biographical data for advertising and promotional purposes without additional compensation.
