I have not asked the user to give all rights for, or transfer the ownership of, their entry to me. My contest must be free to enter (don't forget to check your local lottery laws!). Me and any third party have not manipulated metrics on the YouTube service, including numbers of views, likes, dislikes, or subscribers, such that those metrics fail to reflect genuine user engagement with the YouTube service. I have not associated or affiliated YouTube with my contest without YouTube's prior written consent. This prohibits, among other things, expressly stating or doing anything that suggests that YouTube is involved with or has endorsed your contest in any way. II. My Official Contest Rules: I have a set of "Official Rules" which: a. include links to the YouTube Community Guidelines and indicate entries which don’t comply will be disqualified: https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/poli... b. state all disclosures required by all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, including U.S. sanctions. c. are wholly compliant and consistent with the YouTube Terms of Service. My contest is being conducted, and all prizes awarded, as outlined in my Official Rules. I am responsible for my rules and all aspects of my contest administration. YouTube is not a sponsor of my contest and you are required to release YouTube from any and all liability related to my contest. Privacy notice: If you win, you will have to email me your address to ship the prizes too. I will write the address on the envelope and delete the email after the prize is shipped.
