Long Legal Version:

Entrant waives intellectual property rights, privacy/publicity rights or other legal or moral rights that might preclude the Sponsor's use of the Submission, and agrees not to sue or assert any claim against the Sponsor for the use of the Submission or Entrant's Likeness or statements.
Entrant agrees to indemnify and hold Sponsor, its agencies and Project Parties and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders or other partners, and any of their employees (collectively, the "Indemnitees"), harmless from any and all claims, damages, expenses, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liabilities (including settlements), brought or asserted by any third party against any of the Indemnitees due to or arising out of the Entrant's Submission, or the Entrant's conduct in creating a Submission or otherwise in connection with this Contest, including but not limited to claims for trademark infringement, copyright infringement; violation of an individuals right of publicity or right of privacy; or defamation. Entrant further agrees to release Sponsor from any and all claims that any advertising subsequently produced, presented, and/or prepared by or on behalf of Sponsor infringes Entrant's rights with regard to any elements, characters or ideas contained in any Submission.
GENERAL CONDITIONS: Potential Semi-Finalists will be required to irrevocably assign and transfer to Sponsor any and all rights, title and interest in his/her Entry, including, without limitation, all copyrights, and agree to waive all moral rights in that Entry. Semi-Finalists will be required to complete, sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, Copyright Assignment and, where lawful, a Publicity Release. In addition Semi-Finalists will be subject to a background check. Semi-Finalists will also be required to obtain signed publicity releases from all identifiable individuals featured in Semi-Finalists’ chosen Entry. All completed documents must be returned to Sponsor within 5 days of the date notice was sent or Semi-Finalist status will be forfeited and an alternate Semi-Finalist may be selected. Notification of Semi-Finalist or Winners status must be kept confidential until their Entries are publicly revealed by Sponsor. The Grand Prize and Runner-Up Winners may also be required to sign additional documents, as deemed necessary by Sponsor in its sole discretion, prior to their Entry airing on TV. Grand Prize and Runner-Up Winners are solely responsible for any taxes on their respective prizes, and will receive an IRS Form 1099 for the value of their prize. No substitution of prize is offered, except at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Prizes are non-transferable. If for any reason the Project is not capable of running as planned, including without limitation, infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes which corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Project, Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion to cancel, modify or terminate the Project. Further, Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual deemed to be (a) tampering or attempting to tamper with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or any Sponsor or YouTube; (b) violating the Official Rules; (c) violating the YouTube Terms of Service, or (d) acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person. Sponsor reserves the right to require grand prize and/or runner-up Winners to submit to a confidential background check to confirm eligibility as a condition of awarding the prize to help ensure that the use of any such person in advertising or publicity for the Contest will not bring Contest Parties into public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavorably on the Contest as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND RELEASE: No liability or responsibility is assumed by Sponsor or Contest Parties resulting from any user's participation in or attempt to participate in the Contest or ability or inability to upload or download any information in connection with participating in the Contest. No responsibility or liability is assumed by the Sponsor or Contest Parties for technical problems or technical malfunction arising in connection with any of the following occurrences which may affect the operation of the Contest: hardware or software errors; faulty computer, telephone, cable, satellite, network, electronic, wireless or Internet connectivity or other online communication problems; errors or limitations of any Internet service providers, servers, hosts or providers; garbled, jumbled or faulty data transmissions; failure of any email transmissions to be sent or received; lost, late, delayed or intercepted email transmissions; inaccessibility of the Web Site in whole or in part for any reason; traffic congestion on the Internet or the Web Site; unauthorized human or non-human intervention of the operation of the Project, including without limitation, unauthorized tampering, hacking, theft, virus, bugs, worms; or destruction of any aspect of the Project, or loss, miscount, misdirection, inaccessibility or unavailability of an email account used in connection with the Project. Sponsor and Project Parties are not responsible for any typographical errors in the announcement of prizes or these Official Rules, or any inaccurate or incorrect data contained on the Web Site.

Sponsor and the Project Parties are not responsible for any personal injury or property damage or losses of any kind which may be sustained to user's or any other person's computer equipment resulting from participation in the Project, use of the Web Site or the download of any information from the Web Site. By participating in the Project, the Entrant releases Sponsor and Project Parties from any and all claims, damages or liabilities arising from or relating to such Entrant's participation in the Project. By accepting a prize in the Project, Winners agree that the Sponsor and Project Parties shall not be liable for any loss or injury resulting from participation in the Project, acceptance or use of any prize. Sponsor and Project Parties are not liable in the event that any portion of the Project or scheduled commercial broadcast is cancelled due to weather, fire, strike, acts of war or terrorism, or any other condition beyond their control (a "Force Majeure Event"). Should a Force Majeure Event occur, Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to air the Grand Prize and Runner-Up Prize winning submissions at another time or make a reasonable substitution in its sole discretion.
Oh yeah, and we reserve the right to alter the project requirements (including prizes and participant eligibility) at any time at our sole discretion.
