WCKC CONTEST AND PROMOTIONS RULES
Revised October 23, 2016
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL
NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.
Unless otherwise specified by, LLC, WCKC –107.1 The Drive or its
programming provider Up North Radio, LLC (“the Station”), these rules cover routine contests
and promotions conducted by the Station. These rules may be amended by separate specific rules
for major contests or promotions conducted by the Station or its sponsors.
The contest or promotion (the “Promotion”) will take place during the dates and times specified
in the official rules of the Promotion (the “Promotion Period”) or as announced on-air. The
Station may change the dates and/or terms of the Promotion without prior notice. Any material
changes will be broadcast on the Station and, if applicable, posted on its website located at
www.1071TheDrive.com.
To be eligible to enter or participate in the Promotion, listeners must follow the instructions set
forth in the official rules of the Promotion or as announced on-air and must fulfill all of the
eligibility requirements of the Promotion. Unless otherwise specified, the Promotion is open to
all listeners of the Station who are legal U.S. residents, 14 years of age or older and who live in
the Cadillac, MI Area. Must be 21 or older if prize relates to alcohol, bars, casinos or travel.
.
You can only win a prize valued at $50 or more or event tickets valued at $100 or more (per
ticket) from WCKC, Up North Radio once every 30 days but
remain eligible to win prizes of $600 or greater, which can be won only once every six
months. Only one winner per household in any WCKC single promotion.
Employees of the Station, its licensee, the licensee’s parent, subsidiary and affiliated entities, Station’s
advertising
and promotional agencies, its participating sponsors, other radio stations in the
Cadillac Area and the members of their immediate families and/or households are ineligible to
participate or win. For on-air Promotions, there is no limit to the number of times a listener may
attempt to call-in; however a listener may only qualify once.
Entrants are required to provide truthful information and the Station will reject and delete any
entry that it discovers to be false or fraudulent. The Station will disqualify any entry from
individuals who do not meet the eligibility requirements, and the Station will also delete any
online entry knowingly received from persons under the age of 13 in compliance with the
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
.
Promotion prizes and their values will be indicated when the Station announces the Promotion.
Unless otherwise announced, all prizes or prize certificates must be picked up at the offices of
the Station located at 8082 East M-115 Cadillac, MI 49601. Prizes may be claimed during
regular business hours between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Promotion
winner(s) will be required to present valid government-issued photo identification and provide
their complete address, date of birth and phone number to claim a prize. Unless otherwise
permitted by the Station, winner(s) must claim his or her prize in person, and a prize cannot be
claimed by third parties on behalf of the winner. If a Promotion is open to entrants under the age
of 18 and a winner is under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must claim the prize. Failure
to comply with these requirements will result in the forfeiture of the prize. A winner will forfeit
any prize or prize certificate not claimed within thirty (30) days (or sooner for time sensitive
prizes) of winning. Unless otherwise specified or required by law, if a prize is not claimed no
alternate winner will be selected and the prize will become the property of the Station. The
Station, solely at its discretion and only with the consent of the winner, may opt to deliver the
prize to the winner by mail or overnight courier. In such event, the winner assumes the risk of the
prize’s loss and the Station will not be responsible for the safe arrival of the prize or prize
certificate. There is no substitution, transfer or cash equivalent for prizes, except that the Station
may, at its sole discretion, substitute prizes of comparable value or cash. Each prize is expressly
limited to the item(s) announced by the Station and does not include taxes, gratuities or any other
expenses. Other restrictions may apply.
Decisions of the Station’s management with respect to the Promotion are final.
Potential winner(s) will be selected and notified of their prize in the manner announced by the
Station. Promotion winner(s) must execute and return any required Affidavit of Eligibility and/or
Release of Liability Prize Acceptance Form within ten (10) days of winning or being notified of
winning (or sooner for time sensitive prizes) or prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner
may be selected. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the required
affidavit of eligibility and/or liability/publicity release within the required time period, or if a
prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize.
Payments of all federal, state and local taxes related to the award of a prize are solely the
responsibility of the winner of the prize. The winner will be required to complete and submit an
IRS Form W-9 with the winner’s full Social Security Number or the equivalent for receipt of any
prize valued at $600 or more or for any prizes awarded by the Station in a calendar year with an
aggregate value of $600 or more and such winnings will be reported to the IRS. Failure to submit
a complete W-9 or equivalent will result in forfeiture of the prize.
By participating in the Promotion, the winner(s) agree to have his or her name, voice and
likeness used in any advertising or broadcasting material related to such Promotion, without
further compensation, and (where permitted by law) to sign a publicity release confirming such
consent prior to acceptance of the prize.
Prior to awarding any prize or prize certificate, the Station in its sole discretion may require the
winner of such prize (and his or her travel companion(s), if any) to sign a liability release, which
holds harmless the Station, its licensee, its parent, subsidiary, and affiliated entities, their
respective officers, shareholders, directors, employees, agents and representatives and all of their
successors and assigns against any and all claims or liability arising directly or indirectly from
the prize or participation in the Promotion. The Station is not responsible for (i) lost, stolen,
mangled, misdirected, postage due, illegible, incomplete or late entries; (ii) telephone or mobile
service outages, delays, busy signals, facsimile transmission errors, equipment malfunctions and
any other technological difficulties that may prevent an individual from completing his/her
telephone call or from sending a text message (if applicable, message and data rates may apply,
and the Station is not responsible for any fees incurred by an entrant for this method of entry); or
(iii) entries not received due to difficulty accessing the internet, service outage or delays,
computer difficulties or other technical difficulties.
Station reserves the right to cancel, terminate or modify the Promotion if it is not capable of
completion as planned, including, without limitation, as a result of infection by computer virus,
bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention or technical failures of any sort. The Station reserves
the right to make changes in the rules of the Promotion, including, without limitation, the
substitution of a prize or equivalent value, which will become effective upon announcement. If
due to circumstances beyond the control of the Station, any event related to the Promotion or
prize is delayed, rescheduled, postponed, cancelled or has a change of venue, the Station reserves
the right, but is not obligated, to cancel or modify the Promotion and shall not be required to
award a substitute prize.
The Station is not responsible for typographical or other errors in the
printing, the offering or the administration of the Promotion, or in the announcement of a prize.
The Station, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to disqualify any person tampering with the
entry process or the operation of the Station’s website. Failure to comply with the rules of the
Promotion may result in a contestant’s disqualification and/or forfeiture of any prize or prizes. If
the Station makes a good faith determination that an entrant has cheated or committed fraudulent
activity in connection with a Promotion, the Station reserves the right to disqualify that entrant
from entering and/or winning future Promotions.
