General Contest Rules

Rob, Arnie and Dawn 
General Contest Rules

These rules apply to all contests conducted by the Rob, Arnie and Dawn show unless otherwise set forth in specific contest rules for a particular contest. In certain cases, particular contests may have their own specific additional or alternative rules (in whole or in part) which will be set forth in a separate addition to these rules or in contest rules specific to a particular contest and will be available at www.robarnieanddawn.com


Who Can Enter

1. To enter, contestants must be legal residents of the State(s) of California or Nevada who are 16 years of age or older. Show reserves the right to examine identification and may reasonably choose to accept or deny awarding. 

2. Employees (including, without limitation, part-time or temporary employees) of any of RAD’s affiliate Stations, contest sponsors and any other radio stations within an affiliate market (defined as any radio station with its main studios located within a diameter of fifty (50) miles from the location of the affiliate radio station’s building), and their respective parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliated companies and advertising and promotion agencies at any time during the applicable contesting period and the immediate family and other household members (i.e., spouses, parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, roommates, housemates, significant others, partners and siblings) of each of the above are NOT eligible to enter and/or to win the Contest. 

3. Persons who have won another contest or promotion of any kind from the show or affiliates within the immediately preceding thirty (30) days or who have won prizes valued over $600 within the immediately preceding six (6) months are NOT eligible to enter and/or to win any other show contest (only the first chronologically awarded prize will be awarded), unless expressly specified otherwise in contest rules for the specific contest at issue. Contestants may only win one prize per contest (other than a grand prize winner who also wins a qualifying prize in that same contest), unless expressly specified otherwise in contest rules for the specific contest at issue. 

Entry/Winning 

4. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. 

5. Contestants may enter as often as they wish but only one winner per family or household per contest (only the first chronologically prize won will be awarded), unless expressly specified otherwise in contest rules for the specific contest at issue. 

6. Show is not responsible for any technical difficulties experienced due to overload, busy signals, loss of phone service, electronic problems or any other factor that may prevent an individual from completing a phone call, receiving an email, accessing the Show website, or for any technical malfunction related to any telephone connection, servers, routers, or any other technical problem that may impact entry, participation or prize claim. Show not responsible for any printing errors. 

7. All entries become the property of the Show and will not be acknowledged or returned. Entries received that are mutilated, tampered with, illegible, or from ineligible entrants will be void. Entries that are determined to be fraudulent will be void, and the person making such an entry barred from further participation in that contest. Incomplete entries may be disqualified in Show’s sole discretion. 

8. One or more contests may be announced from time to time. Show may run more than one contest simultaneously, but entries will only be solicited for one contest at a time. 

9. Depending on the contest, the Show will designate the required method of entry. The following apply to the applicable entry method designated: 

a. For call-in contests, entrants will be asked to call in on a designated telephone line (the phone number will be given on the air) at a particular time or times. At the time that calls are solicited, the criteria for winning will be announced (e.g., first six callers, tenth caller, first caller with the correct answer). Only those calls to the specific phone number provided, at the time calls are solicited, shall be eligible to win. Calls to any other phone number are not acceptable. Winners will be selected in accordance with the criteria announced when calls are solicited. If the Show receives less that the requested number of calls (e.g., only 9 callers when the Show is looking for the 10th caller to win), Show reserves the right to re-conduct that contest at a later time or cancel that winning opportunity and not award the associated prize.  For call-in contests that require entrants to answer questions or perform in some other manner, such contest will be judged by Show personnel, and the decision of the judges will be final as to all matters, including (i) the order in which calls were received and (ii) whether any answer required to be given is correct or the “best” or most desirable (based on any lawful criteria show deems desirable). By calling the show line, each contestant gives permission and consents to Show’s recording and/or broadcasting contestant’s name, voice, participation, and the substance of the contestant’s telephone call. Contestant agrees that no additional compensation will be paid for such usage. WARNING: Online listeners to streamed broadcasts may experience a lag in transmissions due to buffering limitations. Contest Participants should not rely on streamed broadcasts. 

b. Certain call-in contests (as described in subsection (a) immediately above) may also provide that the call-in winner is also then automatically qualified for an entry in a grand prize drawing. In such event, the date and/or time of such grand prize drawing will be announced on-air and/or available at www.robarnieanddawn.com.  

c. For mail-in contests, entries must be received at the announced address by the announced deadline. Such entries will only be accepted by first class United States mail and not by fax, hand delivery, overnight or same day courier, unless expressly specified otherwise in contest rules for the specific contest at issue. Only one entry is permitted per envelope (multiple entries within the same envelope will be disregarded). Mail-in entries must be legible and contain all information required. 

d. For entry box contests, entries must be deposited in the official entry box by the announced deadline. Unless otherwise specified, only official entry blanks are eligible (no mechanical reproductions will be accepted). Official contest entry blanks are only available at the location of the official entry box while supplies last. 

e. For internet based entries entrants will be asked to go to a particular website on particular days and times to enter a contest, as announced on-air or on the applicable Website. Criteria for winning and/or conditions for entry will be announced on-air and/or on the Website. Winners will be selected in accordance with the criteria set forth on-line and/or on-air with respect to the particular contest and may include one or more the following types of modes of entry/winning, without limitation: (a) answering survey questions, (b) correctly answering trivia questions, (c) making predictions or guesses with respect to certain upcoming events, (d) submitting essays (of specified lengths), photos, or audio, or (e) simply completing entry forms with contact information. For internet contests that require entrants to answer questions, submit materials or perform in some other manner, such contest will be judged by Show personnel, and the decision of the judges will be final as to all matters, including (i) the order in which emails or on-line entries were received and (ii) whether any answer or submission required to be given is correct or the “best” or most desirable (based on any lawful criteria Show deems desirable). For all internet based entries, use of robotic, automatic, programmed or similar entry modes is prohibited and will be void.  

f. Certain mail-in, entry box, and/or internet contests may also provide that qualifying winners in such contests are also then automatically qualified for an entry in a random grand prize drawing or other grand prize winner determination, as described on-air and/or online. In such event, the date and/or time of such grand prize drawing will be announced on-air and/or on a Website.  

g. For contests involving Show’s obligation to notify qualifiers or finalists or where there is a deadline for prize claims, if the Show did not have actual contact (in person or telephonic) with the winner as part of the contest, Show will only be required to leave one message at the number provided in the entry form (if applicable) or provided at the time that the show collected the winner’s information (by phone or in person). If no answer or answering machine is reached, Show will not be obligated to attempt any further contact. However, Show reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to attempt to contact any qualifier/entrant/finalist/winner more than once and shall not be required to attempt to contact all qualifiers/entrants/finalists/winners an equal number of times.  

h. Any of the Show contests may require that one or more selected entrants listen for their name to be announced on-air as a potential winner. In such events: (i) only the actual person who entered can win and must be the person who calls in (persons having the same name will be disqualified if not the actual entrant), (ii) call-ins will only be eligible to win if the specific telephone number announced on air is the one called within the designated time, and (iii) the call-in call must be received and answered by the Station within the exact period of time announced. 

Prize(s) 

10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or stated on-air, no person will be entitled to receive any prize until after their eligibility has been confirmed or accepted by Show and all required paperwork (including, without limitation, liability release agreements) have been completed by the pending winner within the required deadlines. 

11. All prizes awarded on-air must be picked up or received in a fashion arranged and agreed upon by show personnel. Failure to agree to terms forfeits prize.

Any person who refuses to sign the Release and/or provide a social security number or complete or provide any other documents required by the Show by the deadline required will forfeit any and all contest prizes.

16. Specific restrictions regarding awarded prizes will be provided, if applicable, to the winner. Unless restrictions delivered to a specific winner differ from the following, the following will apply generally to prizes awarded in Show contests:

Show is not responsible for any expenses incurred by contest winners as a result of such cancellations or delays. 
b. Any prize that is awarded in the form of a gift certificate may have an expiration date and use of such certificate may be based on availability and include black-out periods, restrictions or excluded items (for example, tax, tips, alcoholic beverage, or goods from a particular manufacturer). Gift certificates are only redeemable at the locations for which they are specified.
c. Any prize involving the award of cash will be paid in the form of a company check, payable only to the winner and no other person. Checks will be ready for pick-up within 60 business days after winning.
