SWEEPSTAKES DESCRIPTION:  The 1MT’s Mornings on 1 Mug Giveaway (the “Promotion”) takes place during the 1 More Thing broadcast on NY1’s Facebook Live feed scheduled to take place from 10:31 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) to 10:55 a.m. ET on Thursday, October 26, 2017 (the “Promotion Period”).  Entry in the Promotion does not constitute entry into any other promotion, contest or sweepstakes. By participating in the Promotion, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of Spectrum News NY1, 75 Ninth Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10011 (“Sponsor”), which shall be final and binding in all respects.

ELIGIBILITY:  Only legal United States residents who are eighteen (18) years of age or older and reside in the Spectrum News NY1 service area are eligible to enter. Employees, officers and directors of Sponsor, Charter Communications Operating, LLC, their parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, agents, successors and assigns, and Sponsor’s advertising and promotion agencies (collectively, the “Promotion Entities”) and the immediate family members, and/or those living in the same household of each, are ineligible to enter the Promotion or win a prize.  Promotion is void where prohibited by law. 

HOW IT WORKS: During the Promotion Period, watch the Facebook Live feed of “1 More Thing” at https://www.facebook.com/ny1.  During the broadcast, watch for the Promotion call to action inviting consumers to respond in the form of a comment on the Facebook Live feed (the “Comment”).  The first three (3) eligible viewers who respond to the call to action as directed will receive a prize, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.  By posting a Comment, you affirm that you have read, understand and agree to these Official Rules. 

In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.  The Promotion Entities shall not be responsible for incorrect or inaccurate entry information whether caused by Internet users or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Promotion or by any technical or human error, which may occur in the processing of the entries in the Promotion.  The Promotion Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of entries.  Incomplete entries will be disqualified.

COMMENT GUIDELINES: All comments must be in compliance with the Terms of Service of Facebook.com.  Comments must not include any intellectual property or the trademark of any other party.  Comments must not be obscene or offensive; must not depict alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, firearms/weapons, or any activities that may appear unsafe or dangerous or illegal; and must not be sexually explicit or suggestive, all as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.  Comments must not violate or infringe the rights of any third party, including but not limited to rights of copyright, trademark, publicity or privacy.  Any questions, comments or complaints regarding this Promotion should be directed to Sponsor and not to Facebook. Entries that are incomplete or generated by script, macro or other automated or mechanical means, that have been submitted through illicit means or by any means which subvert the entry process or that do not conform with or satisfy any or all of the conditions set out in the Official Rules will be void. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same Facebook account.

Entrants understand that they are posting their Comment at their sole risk.  Sponsor is not responsible for any claims arising from the Comment, specifically including, but not limited to, claims for intellectual property infringement and privacy rights violations, as well as violations of the respective social media site’s terms and conditions.

GRANT OF RIGHTS: Each entrant into the Promotion hereby irrevocably grants to Sponsor, its designees, affiliates, successors and assigns, the non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully paid, universal license to use, copy, sublicense, transmit, distribute, publicly perform, publish, delete or display the Comment in any media now known or hereafter devised including, but not limited to all forms of electronic media, print media and all forms of internet and wireless protocol in perpetuity and throughout the universe for advertising, marketing, publicity and promotional purposes in connection with the Promotion and other promotions.  Sponsor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to edit, composite, morph, scan, duplicate, or alter the Comment for any purpose which Sponsor deems necessary or desirable, and each entrant irrevocably waives any and all so-called moral rights they may have therein.

WINNER NOTIFICATION:  The potential prize winners will be contacted via a reply to their Comment and/or via Messenger with instructions on how to verify eligibility and claim the prize. Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason.  If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within seventy-two (72) hours of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected.  Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will attempt to contact up to three (3) potential winners of a prize in accordance with the above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it remains unclaimed.  If any potential prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such potential prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate prize winner may be selected.  The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received in each social platform and the number of prizes available for that social platform.

PRIZE/APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE: Three (3) Prizes are available.  Each Prize consists of a Mornings on 1 coffee mug with an approximate retail value of $4.03 each.  Limit one (1) Prize per person.

GENERAL PRIZE CONDITIONS: Prize winners shall be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize.  Any potential prize winner may be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”).  If winner fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents within five (5) days of prize notification (or a shorter time if required by exigencies), winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected.
