(including the right to make derivative works of) the entry and materials and

Sponsor an exclusive, worldwide, fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual,
transferable license, with the right to sublicense, to reprint, display,
reproduce, perform, use, and exhibit (including the right to make derivative
works of) the entry and materials and information submitted on and in

Each entrant warrants
that the entry and materials and information provided do not contain information
considered by entrant, its employees or personnel, or any other third party to
be confidential, and that the entry, materials and information provided do not
violate any laws or regulations. Entrant agrees that Sponsor has the right to
verify the ownership and originality of all entries and that, upon Sponsor’s
request, entrant must submit a written copy of any release or permission
entrant has received from a third-party granting entrant the right to use such
property. Entrant understands and acknowledges that in the event a submission
is selected as a winning entry, and entrant’s ownership, rights and the
originality of the entry cannot be verified to the satisfaction of Sponsor or
is in any other way ineligible, Sponsor may select an alternate winner based on
the same winner selection process set forth in these Official Rules.
Except to the extent
prohibited by law, entrants waive the benefit of any “moral rights” or “droit

or otherwise provide to Sponsor associated with the Contest (“Entrant
Content”). In addition, when an entrant creates, appears in, uploads, or posts
