WinnerPicker LLC, and its related companies, collectively, we call "WinnerPicker", provides software, websites and other online services to enable its Sponsors to operate sweepstakes, contests, Promotions and other market data gathering activities, collectively called Promotions or Services, through various forms of social media (Sites). WinnerPicker Promotion Software and Services are designed to allow Sponsors to gather personally identifiable information from individuals who choose to enter a particular Promotion together with anonymous data regarding the Promotion itself. Individuals who participate in Promotions or Service are called Entrants or Users. WinnerPicker gathers this data for use by the Sponsors for various marketing purposes, including targeted marketing of its products. WinnerPicker takes its privacy obligations to both the people who enter the Promotions (Users) or (Entrants) and to its Sponsors very seriously and WinnerPicker complies with various state, federal and international privacy policies. To learn more about WinnerPicker's privacy policy, please visit http://winnerpicker.com/privacy.
1.1 Fees; Charges; Taxes. Fees and any other charges for the use of WinnerPicker Services are described on the Site at: http://winnerpicker.com/pricing. Fees may change from time to time. If we change them, we will give you at least 30 days' notice before implementing the change. If they do change, your continued use of our Services after the change indicates your agreement with the new fees and charges after the effective date of the change. Any change to fees and other charges will not be applicable to the billing period in which the change occurs. You are responsible for all taxes applicable to the fees, if any, in any applicable jurisdiction.
Fees paid to WinnerPicker for products and service offered on the Site, unless otherwise specified in writing, are non-refundable. If your use of the Site is terminated by us because of your breach of these Terms, we will retain fees and charges paid by you for your use of the Site. If we terminate your use of the Site for any reason other than your breach of these Terms, we will refund your subscription fee on a pro rata basis.

You are responsible for all activity on your WinnerPicker account, and for all charges incurred by your WinnerPicker account.
Users and Entrants to Promotions and Services are bound by the contents of the WinnerPicker User Agreement (http://winnerpicker.com/terms) which also specifies rules of conduct to be followed by WinnerPicker and its Sponsors in order that we and you can take advantage of our contractual rights specified in the WinnerPicker User Agreement. While you may provide your own Website's terms of service agreements for Users and Entrants, you acknowledge you have read and understood the WinnerPicker User Agreement and that anyone utilizing WinnerPicker software, websites and other online services to access Sponsor's websites is also covered by the Terms of Service contained in the WinnerPicker User Agreement.
4.1 WinnerPicker collects personally identifiable information for the use of its client Sponsor and to assist the Sponsor in the administration of the Promotions. Such use may include notifications related to the Promotion, assistance to the Sponsors with prize fulfillment and marketing analysis, submission of information to third-parties selected by the Sponsor. WinnerPicker limits access to all personally identifiable information gathered within its organization and data is never shared outside of the company, with the exception of the Sponsor of the Promotion and designated administrators of the Sponsor, or to comply with governmental or legal requests, except via direct authorization by the Client in the case of a joint sponsorship marketing or Promotions campaign or other Client Sponsor authorized activity. Personally identifiable information collected from different Sponsor Promotions is never shared with anyone other than the Sponsor on whose behalf the information was collected, (except as limited above) and the information belongs to that Sponsor and is to be used solely in accordance with that particular Sponsor's Privacy Policy. If individual Users or Entrants desire to "opt out" of the receiving marketing or other information from your Website that User or Entrant's action will be handled in accordance with your Privacy Policy. WinnerPicker requires, and you agree, to use the data which WinnerPicker collects on your behalf in accordance with generally accepted privacy standards for both offline and online data which includes your provision of an "opt out" method for individuals who have provided personally identifiable information. You are responsible to secure and maintain the data WinnerPicker collects on your behalf when such data is in your possession.
4.2 WinnerPicker's proprietary Promotion technology also has the ability to collect data other than personally identifiable information for various kinds of Promotions it facilitates online. WinnerPicker may collect information about the User/Entrant's computer configuration, such as browser type, operating system, or ISP domain name. WinnerPicker may collect information about the site the User/Entrant last visited prior to the Promotion or about User/Entrant activity during its visit to the Promotion site. This information may be used by WinnerPicker to administer the technical and operational aspects of this site, and may include using User/Entrant IP address to help diagnose problems with our server. User/Entrant IP addresses may also be used to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. WinnerPicker may use a cookie, a piece of data stored on the User's hard drive containing information about the User, to assist in performing some or all of these activities and also to limit Entrant's ability to play a Promotion more times than allowed, if such a restriction applies to your Promotion.
4.3 From time to time, you and WinnerPicker may agree to allow WinnerPicker to offer Entrants to a Promotion an opportunity to "opt-in" to receiving marketing information from WinnerPicker and third party Sponsors. Typically, your agreement to allow third party Sponsors to receive-participate in Promotions will require you be granted reciprocity to participate in that Sponsor's Promotions. In such cases, on the Promotion registration page, a WinnerPicker "opt-in" question will appear clearly explaining to potential Entrants and Users that by checking the box they will be agreeing to share their personally identifiable information with WinnerPicker for such limited purposes. When individuals "opt-in" to receive information from WinnerPicker, they are agreeing to receive email and other notices from WinnerPicker, including marketing messages, surveys, special offers and notices about other Promotions. Such notices may come from WinnerPicker itself or its Sponsors, including you.
4.4 You are forbidden from requesting anyone to submit personal medical information, social security information, payment card details, or financial information in WinnerPicker Promotions or Services.
Sponsors distribute Promotions and other media utilizing tools/ services offered on the Sites by WinnerPicker and Entrants and Users may enter or engage with such Promotions and media. As a Sponsor, you acknowledge and agree that WinnerPicker merely facilitates the distribution of Promotions and media and understand that the Site provides no safeguards ensuring that your Promotions and media comply with any law, rule, regulation or policy. You are responsible for Promotions and media distributed through the Site and for ensuring that such Promotions and media comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. You are responsible to provide the official rules of the Promotion including any applicable privacy policy, and any additional information or links provided in the Sponsor's terms of use. Entrants are required to agree to the Sponsor's terms of use including all linked terms, conditions, and policies before entering any Promotion. You acknowledge that WinnerPicker is not responsible or liable for the failure of any User or Entrant, (or any third-party) to comply with the rules, terms, conditions, policies, and applicable laws, rules, or regulations governing any of your Promotions. You acknowledge and agree that WinnerPicker is not liable for the content of any Promotion or media distributed through your Site. In the event that Users provide you with personally identifiable information, you acknowledge and agree that WinnerPicker is not responsible or liable for Sponsor's use or distribution of information provided by Users. You further agree to hold harmless WinnerPicker and its parent companies, affiliates, and subsidiaries; and their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, representatives, professional advisors, and contractors from any and all claims, losses, liability, damages and/or costs (including attorneys' fees and costs) arising from your use of the Service. Your agreement to hold us harmless includes, without limitation, all of your claims related to the posting or removal of Content, User Content, or entries to or from the Site.

WinnerPicker will process and investigate proper notices of alleged copyright or other intellectual property infringement related to your Content on its websites or servers and will respond appropriately, following the guidelines of the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act and other applicable intellectual property laws. Where appropriate, and regardless of the merits of the alleged infringement, our response may include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice from you, or about your site, we may notify the owner or administrator of the affected Site or Content so that he or she can make a counter notification. WinnerPicker will, following appropriate investigation, terminate or disable access by repeat infringers. Claims of alleged copyright or other intellectual property infringement must be in writing and directed to WinnerPicker's designated agent.

7.1 These provisions for Service apply to all Users and Entrants of the WinnerPicker websites and/ or the Sponsor's services and websites, collectively, the Sites, including Users who are also contributors of user submitted content, information, and other materials or services on the websites and/or the services.
7.2 Promotion content may contain links to Sponsor websites and/or third party websites that are not owned or controlled by WinnerPicker and, in order to access some features of the Promotion which are provided by, with or through a Sponsor or third party, Users and Entrants may have to create an account with such Sponsor or third party and/or enter into a separate commercial relationship with such entity. Users and Entrants are informed that WinnerPicker has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, terms of use, privacy policies, or practices of any Sponsor's or third party's websites or services. Users and Entrants are also informed that, in addition, WinnerPicker is not able to censor or edit the content of any third party website or service, and its ability to control the content of a Sponsor's website is limited by the terms of our Subscription Agreement with you. Accordingly, we encourage Users and Entrants to be aware when they access some features of a Website or Services which are provided by, with or through a Sponsor or a third party, to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party's website and service that they access. You agree to undertake these responsibilities for maintaining the content of your Promotion Website, to comply with Federal Trade Commission rules and regulations for advertising and marketing on the Internet and to monitor the content of any social media that you link to your website.
7.3 WinnerPicker offers functionality that utilizes YouTube API Services. By using this functionality, you are agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms).
8.1 Through its Website, WinnerPicker supports the submission by Entrants, Users and other users of content, which may include videos, text, graphics, pictures, photos, or other communications (collectively, "User Submissions"), and also supports the hosting, sharing, and/or publishing of such User Submissions. To the extent your Site accepts User Content it is with the understanding the User is responsible for its own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. In connection with User Submissions, Users affirm, represent, and warrant that: (a) Users own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize WinnerPicker to use all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all User Submissions to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Website and these Terms of Service; and (b) Users have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable individual person in the User Submission to use the name and likeness of each and every such identifiable individual person included in a User Submission in order to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Website and the Promotions and Services. WinnerPicker cannot and does not represent User submissions will comply with such provisions and WinnerPicker does not have the ability to ensure such compliance.
8.2 You understand that when using the Website and/or the Services, you will be exposed to User Submissions from a variety of sources, and that WinnerPicker is not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of or relating to such User Submissions. You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to User Submissions that are inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against WinnerPicker with respect thereto, and agree to indemnify and hold WinnerPicker, its owners/operators, affiliates, and/or licensors, harmless to the fullest extent allowed by law regarding all matters related to your use of the Site.
We take security seriously. We strive to maintain a reliable and secure environment for your Promotion activities. However, no system is perfectly secure or reliable; the Internet is an inherently insecure medium, and the reliability of hosting services, Internet intermediaries, your Internet service provider, and other service providers cannot be assured. When you use the Site, you accept these risks, and the responsibility for choosing to use a technology that does not provide perfect security or reliability. In particular, Sponsors who choose to accept information on this Site or pay for Services offered through this Site, accept these risks to the security of that information.
The Site contains links to third-party Web sites ("Third-Party Sites") and third-party content ("Third-Party Content") as a service to those interested in this information. Third Party Sites include social network platforms, User, Entrant and Sponsor sites, payment processors and other payment intermediaries that you may use in connection with your use of the Site. If you use links to Third-Party Sites, any Third- Party Content or service provided there are at your own risk. WinnerPicker does not monitor or have any control over, and makes no claim or representation regarding, Third-Party Content or Third-Party Sites. WinnerPicker provides these links only as a convenience, and a link to a Third-Party Site or Third-Party Content does not imply WinnerPicker's endorsement, adoption or sponsorship of, or affiliation with, such Third-Party Site or Third-Party Content. WinnerPicker accepts no responsibility for reviewing changes or updates to, or the quality, content, policies, nature or reliability of, Third-Party Content, Third-Party Sites, or Web sites linking to the Site. When you leave the Site, our terms and policies are no longer applicable. You should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third-Party Site, and should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third-party.
