SYVUM QUIZENIUS CONTEST RULES
ELIGIBILITY : The Syvum Quizenius Contest ("SQC") is an online web contest open to all internet users worldwide. There are no restrictions to be eligible to enter and win. Employees of Syvum Technologies Inc. ("SYVUM") and the immediate families and members of the household of any such employees are not eligible to enter or win.
HOW TO ENTER AND WIN : Only registered members of Syvum are eligible to win prizes. While you may try a contest as a "Guest", any top scores you receive will not be eligible for winning prizes. There are no restrictions in terms of the number of entries submitted by a person. Multiple entries may be submitted on the same day from the same Syvum User ID. Entries received between 12:00:00 AM, GMT on the first day of a month and 11:59:00 PM, GMT on the last day of the same month shall be eligible for the monthly drawing. Entries become the property of SYVUM. Eligible entrants must visit www.syvum.com and participate in the Syvum Quizenius Contest (SQC) by answering as many questions as they can from the Syvum database of quiz questions after registering as Syvum Members by filling out the electronic member registration form, including the entrant's name, email address, user id and password. SYVUM shall not be responsible for lost or misdirected messages, unavailable network connections, failed, incomplete, garbled or delayed computer transmissions, online failures, hardware, software or other technical malfunctions or disturbances or other communications failures or circumstances affecting receipt of entries or entrants' ability to participate in the SQC. By entering, each participant agrees to be bound by the rules and regulations of the SQC. The winners will be selected from those entrants who have correctly answered the maximum number of quiz questions. In case of a tie where entrants have correctly answered the same number of quiz questions, the prize will be shared or a single winner will be picked at random from the entrants who tied. The winners and prizes will be decided by SYVUM, whose decisions shall be final. It is the responsibility of the winners to claim their prizes by sending an email from the address used by them during registration as a Syvum Member. If a winner fails to respond within 25 days of the end of the contest, prizes will be forfeited and may be awarded to an alternate winner chosen, or added to the next month's prize fund. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person submitting an online entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the person in whose name the email account is registered. Winner may be required to provide evidence that winner is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the winning entry and complete an affidavit of eligibility and any applicable releases.
PRIZES : Prizes consisting of Amazon.com gift certicates (valued between five dollars and thirty dollars -- US $5-$30) will be awarded to three or more winners every month. Each winner is eligible to only one prize (gift certificate). Please go to the Amazon.com web site to read more about how to use and redeem Amazon.com gift certificates. Taxes, customs duties, shipping costs, and like amounts in connection with the prizes are the winner's responsibility.
