All Billboard Entries suspected of violating intellectual property rights, or any local, state or federal law(s) will be ineligible. Entrants assume all risk of damaged, lost, late, incomplete, invalid, incorrect or misdirected Billboard Entries. All information collected from Billboard Entries shall be deemed collected and judged in the United States.
