Terms of Service
HEMO-RAGE PAGE UNDERGROUND VIDEO CONTEST ("Contest") has ended as of 12/31/2012. We are no longer excepting videos for cash or prizes.
OFFICIAL RULES ONLY APPLY TO VIDEOS SUBMITTED BEFORE JANUARY 1st, 2013.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY
- 1. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Nutrex Research ("Sponsor") invites you ("Entrant") to record and submit your original video capturing your UNDERGROUND training, for an opportunity to win the $2,500 Monthly Prize and potentially the $10,000 Grand Prize. Create a video less than 4 minutes in length (the "Submission") and follow the instructions at www.hemo-ragepage.com ("Contest Website") to upload your Submission. All Submissions submitted will be screened for eligibility and compliance with the Official Rules before posting for public vote; such screening may take up to 3 business days. If Sponsor deems a Submission noncompliant with the Official Rules of the Contest or Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, such Submission will not appear on Contest Website or be eligible to participate in the Contest; see Rule #3 for Submission requirements. From the 1st day to the 25th of every month (the "Voting Period") up to and including the month of November 2012, all eligible Submissions which have been received and screened for eligibility will be available for voting on hemo-ragepage.com. Visitors will be given the opportunity to vote for their favorite Submission by following the online instructions. At the conclusion of each Voting Period, the top five (5) Submissions that received the most eligible "Votes" will move on to the monthly final selection process in order to choose the top 5 winners placing in the HEMO-RAGE PAGE video contest. Once the votes are in and the contest is completed, our judging panel will determine the order of the top 5 videos submission for the final selection process. After the judging panel's votes have been tallied, the data will be gathered, analyzed, and Nutrex Research Management will make a final selection and announce the winner of the HEMO-RAGE Page contest. The top 5 winners for the month are subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. See Rule #3 for Submission Requirements/Terms of Submission. SITES SUCH AS VOTE EXCHANGE, VOTE NOW, http://fiverr.com/gowithgaurav/give-100-unique-ip-votes-for-any-contestreward-websitefacebook-likes, etc. ARE PROHIBITED. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DISQUALIFY ANY CONTESTANT AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING FOR GENERATING VOTES WE DEEM TO BE SUSPICIOUS AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF NUTREX RESEARCH INC. The number of monthly Votes are determined by the total of actual HEMO-RAGE Page votes casted by clicking the "Vote Now" button under each video. Entrants can only submit one Submission per month and it may be removed by Sponsor at any time for any reason. The submission under a profile must have the profile member in the video, not just only being a Director of the video. If the profile memeber is not in the video submission, your video will not be eligible for the monthly contest. Prize will be awarded to the individual whose profile the video was submitted under. Videos submitted after the 25th of each month will be held for the following month's contest and posted on the first of that month. All of the First Prize Winners for the months of January 2012 - November 2012 will then be eligible for the Grand Prize of $10,000. These 11 (eleven) Submissions will be made available for voting on the HEMO-RAGE page for the Voting period of December 1-31, 2012. Grand Prize Winner will be decided by total number of votes in that voting period alone and our judging panel. All previously acquired votes are not counted. All first place winners are not eligble to participate in any other monthly contest for 2012 except for the Grand Prize.
