CONTEST RULES

1. No purchase or payment of any consideration is necessary to enter the contest.
2. Cash-prize entrants must post American Fever Video entries to YouTube and then formally submit each entry’s URL to this website in order to be eligible to win. Entries received after the July 4, 2012, deadline set forth in the contest announcement are ineligible, null, and void. Arterial Witness will not be responsible for and will not consider incomplete or incorrect entries. Arterial Witness is not responsible for entries that are sent but not received by Arterial Witness for any reason.
3. Winners will be notified via the information they provided to Arterial Witness when they entered the contest. We seek contact information such as email and website addresses and particularly telephone numbers only to facilitate communication at that time. No further use will be made of personal information provided to Arterial Witness. If a winner does not respond to the notification, another will be chosen. Failure to respond shall mean that the provisional winner forfeits the prize.
4. A prize of US $1,000 shall be granted to the contest winner as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Arterial Witness. Decisions by Arterial Witness are final. No further compensation shall be received by any contestant.
5. Arterial Witness may choose to designate further categories of distinguished video entries, as explained in the Contest Introduction, but these shall not be eligible for any cash award.
6. All videos (collectively and severally, “Materials”) posted to YouTube and submitted by you to Arterial Witness shall become the sole and exclusive property of Arterial Witness, in perpetuity. Arterial Witness may use, reproduce, edit, display, transmit, prepare derivative works of, modify, publish, and otherwise make use of Materials in any and all media, whether now known or hereinafter created—throughout the world and for any purpose—without compensation to you of any kind.
7. By submitting Materials to Arterial Witness, you represent and warrant that the Materials are your original creation and do not infringe any copyright, trademark, property rights, rights of privacy or publicity of any person, or any other right of any third party and that you have the full and unrestricted right to transfer the Materials to Arterial Witness free and clear of any claims or encumbrances.

9. You acknowledge and agree that Materials submitted by you and posted to YouTube may be made available by Arterial Witness for viewing, rating, reviewing, and commenting by the public. You acknowledge that comments or ratings that you disagree with or are unhappy about may be published or otherwise become associated with Materials that you submit to Arterial Witness. By submitting Materials to Arterial Witness, you waive any privacy expectations that you may have with respect to the Materials.
10. You agree to hold Arterial Witness and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns harmless from and against—and hereby waive any right to pursue—any claims of any nature arising in connection with Arterial Witness’ use of the Materials submitted to Arterial Witness and used in any manner in Arterial Witness’ sole and absolute discretion.
