The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the state courts of Georgia and the federal courts located with such state and county with respect to any action, dispute or other matter pertaining to or arising out of these rules and all contests.

By entering any PMB Broadcasting contest, participant acknowledges and agrees that: (a) any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of, relating to, or connected with the contest or prize awarded will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action or representative action; and (b) any and all claims, judgments and awards will be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering the contest but in no event attorneys’ fees.

16. Specific types of contests:

On-air contests: For on-air giveaway contests, the contest will begin as soon as the announcer announces on-air the number of the caller necessary to win the contest. For example, if the announcer states that the 9th caller will be the winner, the contest will begin as soon as this announcement is made.

Calls for participants are taken in the order that they are received. In the event that more than one voice is heard on the telephone line, the winner will be the first person to speak. If the judge(s) or announcer is not able to determine which caller was first, a random drawing will be held to determine the winner. All persons that call in for on-air contests must be available by telephone at the number left on the designated station’s contest line. If the announcer asks listeners to text in to win, the designated texter will win. Standard text messaging rates apply for any text contests. If a participant is selected by the announcer but does not answer the telephone, they will be disqualified, and the next numerical participant will be designated the winner. If winners are announced on-air and are told to call back within a certain amount of time to claim a prize, they must call the announced designated station’s contest line within the specified time frame to claim the prize. If the time lapses, the winner will be disqualified, and another participant will be selected to win the prize. PMB Broadcasting is not responsible for any landline or cellular telephone malfunctions during the course of any contest. PMB Broadcasting does not assume any liability for faulty, mis-transcribed, misdirected/misdialed telephone communications or technical difficulties experienced by callers throughout the call-in portion of any contest. Please note that for listeners listening to any PMB Broadcasting radio station on a web stream or via a mobile app, there may be a delay between what is heard on-air, and the broadcast heard through the web stream or mobile app. All on-air contests are based on the timing of when a listener is directed to call in through an on-air transmission, and not when it is heard through the web stream or mobile app.  All calls on the contest line are recorded for possible playback use and PMB Broadcasting assumes no responsibility for winner’s inability to get through the contest lines for any reason.

Mail/facsimile contests: To enter a contest via mail or facsimile, participants must complete all the information deemed necessary to declare a winner. Only one (1) entry per person will be accepted unless otherwise specified on-air or in separate contest rules. Winning entry(s) will be drawn at random from all valid entries received. PMB Broadcasting is not responsible for late, misdirected, lost or mutilated mail, entry forms or faxes. No liability is assumed for any malfunction of computer equipment, fax machine equipment or fax machine telephone lines. If an entry is illegible or does not supply all information deemed necessary to declare a winner, the entry will be deemed invalid and another entry will be selected.

Internet contests: To enter an online contest, participants must complete all the information deemed necessary to declare a winner. PMB Broadcasting does not assume any liability for any malfunction of the internet or individual computer systems. When entering a contest via an advertiser’s web banner or logo hyperlink, PMB Broadcasting is not responsible for prize fulfillment or any aspect of the contest. PMB Broadcasting is simply a “link” to that advertiser’s site.

To enter a contest on any station site at www.pmbsites.com, participants must complete all the information deemed necessary to declare a winner. Only one (1) entry per person for each contest unless noted otherwise. Winning entry(s) will be randomly selected from all valid entries received. If an entry is illegible or does not supply all information deemed necessary to declare a winner, the entry will be deemed invalid and another entry will be selected.

PMB Broadcasting is not responsible for failure to receive online entries due to transmission failures or technical failures of any kind, including, without limitation, malfunctioning or unavailability of any network, hardware or software, whether originating with sender or PMB Broadcasting. Winner(s) of the on-line contest will be randomly selected from all entries. The odds of winning a prize depend on the number of entrants and eligible entries received for each drawing.
