Official Rules and Contest Agreement
July 23, 2007

There is NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY to enter or win the Viewzi On-line contest (“The Contest”). Purchasing a product or service will not affect your odds of winning. Void where prohibited by law. By entering The Contest you consent to be bound by these Official Rules, which shall constitute a contract between you and Viewzi. All decisions of Viewzi with respect to The Contest shall be final.

 

CONSUMER DISCLOSURE.

You have not yet won. The true name of the sponsor of The Contest is Viewzi, Inc.(collectively, with its successors, assigns, designees or licensees, “Viewzi”) with a principal place of business at 3116-D, Commerce Street, Dallas, TX 75230.

 

ELIGIBILITY.

To be eligible, you must be a resident of one of the 50 states of the United States or the District of Columbia, be at least 18 years old as of the date of entry, and not reside in Florida, New York, Rhode Island, Arizona, and Puerto Rico. Officers, directors, and employees of Viewzi, its affiliates, including Jackson Walker L.L.P., as well as those individuals’ immediate family members and the residents of their households are not eligible.

 

PROMOTIONAL PERIOD.

The promotional period (“Promotional Period”) begins on June 23, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. Central Standard Daylight Time (“CT”) and ends at 09:00 p.m. CT on June 23, 2007 (the “Termination Date”). During the Promotional Period, views may be submitted for review by the panel of judges. Viewzi reserves the right to extend the Promotional Period at its sole discretion.

 

HOW TO ENTER.

To enter The Contest, you must upload your view (the “View”) via www.viewzoo.com within the Promotional Period or deliver your view via to a Viewzi employee via digital media or electronic transfer and agree to these Official Rules and Contest Agreement (“Contest Agreement”). You will be deemed to have entered The Contest only once your view and Contest Agreement have been received and processed by a Viewzi staff member. No responsibility is assumed by Viewzi for late, incomplete, stolen, misdirected, or corrupted entries.

 

USE OF DATA.

By participating in The Contest, entrants hereby agree to Viewzi’s collection and usage of their personal information.

 

METHOD OF DETERMINING WINNER.

If at least 10 entries are received by Viewzi within the Promotional Period, a total of 3 winners (Best Sports View, Best Entertainment View, and a people’s choice award that can be from any category) will be selected by a panel of three judges. The selection of the said winners is completely within the discretion of the panel of judges. The names of all winners will be posted on the Viewzoo website and individual winners will be notified by email or telephone on the 23rd. Entries will not be carried forward to subsequent contests conducted by Viewzi. If Viewzi is unable to locate the winner within 7 days of the drawing (e.g., email address is invalid, mail is returned as undeliverable, etc.), that person will become ineligible for the prize and an alternate winner will be selected.

 

PRIZES AND ODDS.

The prize for the Best Sports View is $1,000 in cash.

The prize for the Best Sports View will only be awarded if there are at least 5 qualifying entries; provided, however, Viewzi reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to award the $1,000 to the Best Sports View winner even if there are not at least 5 qualifying entries.

The prize for the Best Entertainment View is $1,000 in cash.

The prize for the Best Entertainment View will only be awarded if there are at least 5 qualifying entries; provided, however, Viewzi reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to award the $1,000 to the Best Entertainment View winner even if there are not at least 5 qualifying entries.

The prize for the “People’s Choice Award” is a Nintendo Wii, with a retail value of about $300.

The Nintendo Wii will be awarded regardless of the number of entries; if there are less than 5 qualifying entries in either of the Best Sports View or the Best Entertainment View categories, and Viewzi does not, in its sole and absolute discretion, award the $1,000 prize to either one of these, then the Nintendo Wii will be awarded to either the People’s Choice Award winner or the winner of one of the two other contests in the event a prize has not been awarded for both. No assignment, transfer or substitution for cash of a prize is permitted. Viewzi will arrange for delivery of the prize to the winner either in person or by mail. All taxes, as well as any title, inspection, license and registration fees, are the sole responsibility of the winner. The odds of winning The Contest depend on the number of eligible entries received.
