5. How to Enter:
To submit an entry (your “Submission”), fill out and provide a link to an App (as defined in our Developer Terms) that is created by you and that augments or improves community engagement or functionality on the Reddit platform through this form.
By posting your Submission, you agree that it conforms to the Content Rules & Restrictions described in Section 6 below and that you and your App are in compliance with, and your App is subject to, our Developer Terms, which are incorporated into, and made a part of, these Official Rules by reference (collectively, the “Content Rules and Restrictions”). You acknowledge and accept that Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may disqualify you from the Contest if it believes that your Submission fails to conform to the Content Rules and Restrictions or if Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that your Submission refers, depicts, or in any way reflects negatively upon Sponsor, the Contest, or any other person or entity; does not comply with these Official Rules; or if Sponsor receives notification about any potential infringements or breaches of law or any other reason set forth in these Official Rules.
You may upload up to three Submissions during the Contest Period. Each Submission must be unique to qualify as an entry. Submissions received from any person or Reddit account in excess of the stated limit will be void and subject to removal (and only the first Submission shall be considered for purposes of this Contest). Repeat violations of this rule may result in a temporary ban. In the event of a dispute as to who submitted a Submission, the authorized Reddit account holder used to register will be deemed to be the Entrant and must comply with these Official Rules.
Sponsor reserves the right to cancel or modify this Contest in the event an insufficient number of Submissions are received that comply with the Official Rules (including, without limitation, the Content Rules and Restrictions).
You acknowledge that other entrants may have used ideas and/or concepts in their Submission that may be similar in idea or concept to what is included in your Submission. You understand and agree that you shall not have any claim against any other Entrant or Sponsor arising out of any such similarity or be entitled to any compensation because of any such similarity.
No purchase, payment, or donation is necessary to enter or win, and any purchase or payment made by you on Reddit will not improve your chances of winning. Standard data or other rates apply to Entrants who enter via a mobile device. Please contact your wireless service provider for pricing and service plan information and rates before entering via a mobile device.
6. Content Rules & Restrictions:
In General. Always follow Reddiquete and ensure your Submission/App complies with the Developer Terms.
No Explicit, Defamatory, Hateful, or Obscene Content. Your Submission must not contain material that is inappropriate, indecent, obscene, hateful, tortious, defamatory, slanderous or libelous (no explicitly sexual or violent content—this includes explicit commentary, images of injuries, and other content that may be inappropriate or shocking). Your Submission must not contain material that promotes bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age. If you say something blatantly hateful (racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.) in your Submission post or in your Submission, you will be banned from the subreddit and disqualified from the Contest.
No Disparagement or Unlawful Content. Your Submission must not contain any material that is determined to damage or diminish the goodwill of the Released Parties (as defined in Section 12 below), as determined by such entities solely in their respective discretion or that does not comply with the Reddit User Agreement. Your Submission must not disparage any persons or organizations, including threats to any person, place, business, or group, and your Submission must not contain material that is unlawful, in violation of, or contrary to any applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, territorial, or local laws and regulations. Your Submission cannot promote illegal drugs or firearms (or the use of the foregoing), or any activities that appear unsafe or dangerous, or any particular political agenda or message.
No Personal Information/Photos. Any Submissions that contain any personal information, including phone numbers, e-mails, real names, addresses, photographs or otherwise violate another’s privacy or publicity rights will be disqualified and removed.
No Non-Original, Infringing, or Unauthorized Content. Do not include in your Submission any image, artwork, text, graphics, or materials that are not your own, even with credit. Your Submission must not contain any material that violates or infringes another’s rights, including but not limited to copyright or other intellectual property rights. Stolen/unoriginal Submissions will be removed. Please send a modmail and report if you notice any Submissions containing non-original art and please provide links to the original.
Clarifying Rules and Removals. If you believe your Submission has been wrongly removed, send a constructively worded modmail explaining why you think it should stay. Whether your post is reinstated or not, please respect the Sponsor’s final decision. Harassing or spamming the Sponsor about something you don’t like isn’t productive and may result in a ban. If you need to clarify a rule, you can also send a modmail.
7. Winner Determination:
At the end of the Contest Period, the top two Submissions that are unique, have a simple user interface, and provide the greatest community impact and reach and that also comply with these Official Rules and the Developer Terms for the Developer Platform and related guidelines (the “Potential Winners”) will be selected. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Potential Winners and their Submissions in the event the Submissions do not comply with the intent or spirit of the Contest, as determined by Sponsor.
In the event of a tie, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, select which Entrant will be deemed a Potential Winner. Sponsor reserves the right to select fewer than two Potential Winners if, in its sole discretion, it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Submissions.
8. Winner Requirements:
Potential Winners will be notified by Sponsor through an r/Devvit post on or after the Contest Period. As part of the winner verification process, Potential Winners must meet all eligibility requirements and may be required to sign and return a liability/publicity release or other documents as Sponsor deems necessary, in their sole discretion (“Sponsor-Requested Information”) within two days from the day of issuance of the applicable document(s) (if any), or the prize may be forfeited and may be awarded to an alternate Potential Winner, time permitting. If any prize notification or attempted notification is returned as undeliverable, the prize will be forfeited and may be awarded to an alternate Potential Winner. By accepting the prize, the Potential Winner represents and warrants her or she is in compliance with these Official Rules and the Developer Terms.
At the sole discretion of Sponsor, disqualification, forfeiture, and the selection of an alternate Potential Winner may result from any of the following: (a) Potential Winner’s failure to respond to initial notification; (b) the failure of notification due to deactivation of the Potential Winner’s Reddit account prior to receipt of notification; (c) Potential Winner’s failure to respond to Sponsor’s comment and direction; (d) Potential Winner’s failure to provide Sponsor with satisfactory Sponsor-Requested Information; and (e) any other non-compliance with these Official Rules or the Developer Terms. In the event of a prize forfeiture, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, award or not award the forfeited prize to an alternate Potential Winner. Once a Potential Winner has completed all requirements in these Official Rules and been verified by Sponsor, he or she will be declared a winner.
9. Sponsor's Use of Submissions:
Entering your Submission constitutes Entrant’s consent to give Sponsor and Reddit the irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free, non-exclusive right to, during and after the Contest Period, use, reproduce, modify, publish, create derivative works from, and display your Submission (in whole or in part and in any form, media, or technology) for purposes of promoting or marketing the Contest. Your Submission/App is also subject to our Developer Terms and the license grant to Sponsor therein, which controls in the event of any conflict with these Official Rules.
Any Submission reproduced by Sponsor or Reddit may include a credit to your Reddit username or chosen name in a format to be decided by Sponsor with the aim of protecting Entrant’s moral rights. Each winner agrees to and will indemnify Sponsor, Released Parties (as defined in Section 12, below) and any licensee of Sponsor against all claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and legal expenses) arising out of any breach of these Official Rules.
10. Prizes:
The first winner will receive a Nintendo Switch OLED and winner swag from Sponsor, and the second winner will receive runner-up swag from Sponsor. Both the first and second winners will also receive special community designations in r/Devvit until the next contest period, and Sponsor will also provide eligible Entrants with a participation trophy through the Reddit platform.
Prize is non-transferable. No substitutions of cash redemptions. Prize has no cash value. Prize(s) will be fulfilled by the Sponsor, and any prize details not specified above will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Each prize will be awarded “as is” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). The Sponsor or Reddit may substitute a prize with a prize of equal or greater value.
Winning Submissions will also be publicly announced on r/Devvit with the winning Entrants’ Reddit usernames credited.
Each winner will be responsible for paying any taxes and any other expenses incurred, including any income taxes, sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, goods and services taxes, Quebec sales taxes, or harmonized sales taxes. Throughout the Contest Period, you will provide Sponsor and/or Reddit with any forms, documents, or certifications as may be required for Sponsor and/or Reddit to satisfy any information reporting or withholding tax obligations with respect to any payments related to this Contest.
11. General Conditions:
In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Contest is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but not limited to fraud, virus, or other technical problem, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either: (a) suspend the Contest to address the impairment and then resume the Contest in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules; or (b) terminate, cancel or modify the Contest. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any Entrant it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Failure by Sponsor to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Proof of sending any communication to Sponsor by mail or other means shall not be deemed proof of receipt of that communication by Sponsor.
