Sponsor reserves the right to announce a final Contest Period at any time by either revising the Official Rules or making the announcement on Yaymaker’s website, or both. By submitting an Entry, each Entrant agrees to the Official Rules and warrants that his or her Entry complies with all requirements set out in the Official Rules.
HOW TO ENTER
Contestants must share a photograph showing their “yay of the day” using #MakeYayAllDay. Each photograph must show positivity and happiness, and may contain Yaymaker products, but are not required to do so. Prior to submitting any photograph in connection with an Entry, Contestants represent, warrant and confirm that they have secured the permission of all persons in the photograph to do so and that they have obtained the consent of such person to the use of such photograph by Yaymaker, as Yaymaker sees fit.
All Entries and requests become the property of Yaymaker and will not be acknowledged or returned. In the event of a dispute over the identity of an Entrant, an Entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the social media account from which the Entry was submitted. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to the social media account at issue. Entry materials/data that have been tampered with or altered, or mass entries or entries generated by a scrip, macro or use of automated devices are void.
CONTEST PRIZES
Yaymaker will select two winners of the Contest each week during the Contest Term (each a “Winner”) from all of the eligible Entries submitted during the Contest Period. In addition, Yaymaker will select one grand prize winner at the end of the Contest Term (a “Winner” and the “Grand Prize Winner”) from all of the eligible Entries submitted during the Contest Period.

SELECTION OF WINNERS
Yaymaker will select Winners based on complete fulfillment of the Official Rules (in Yaymaker’s sole discretion) by random draw from all eligible entries at the time of the selection.
Each Winner will be notified by Yaymaker by direct message on the social platform from where the Winner submitted his/her Entry to the Contest, within five days following the conclusion of the selection of the Winner, and may be announced publicly on the Yaymaker blog (www.blog.yaymaker.com) and/or via Yaymaker’s social media accounts.

All submissions (winning or otherwise) may be utilized by Yaymaker for any purpose, including, but not limited to promotional materials, content on any social media channels, and Yaymaker marketing regardless of whether the Entry is chosen as a winning Entry.
If the selected winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to claim the prize within fifteen (15) days from the time award notification was sent, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected in the same manner as previously set forth herein.
All Entries must be submitted and received by Sponsor during the Contest Period. Proof of submission is not proof of receipt. Sponsor reserves the right to examine the original Entry submitted in order to confirm compliance with the Official Rules.
Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during Contest Period.

OTHER CONDITIONS
THIS CONTEST IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. Entrants agree that this Contest and these Official Rules shall be subject to and governed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of laws principles, and, as necessary the laws of the United States of America.
Entrants agree that any dispute, claim, action, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Contest shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to limited review by courts. Arbitrators may award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Entrants and Yaymaker agree that Mass. Gen. Laws c. 251, et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that Entrant and Yaymaker are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Official Rules and is specifically enforceable against Entrants and any other person depicted in an Entry.
If an Entrant or any other person elects to seek arbitration, each must first send to Yaymaker, by certified mail, a written notice of such claim (“Notice”). The Notice to Yaymaker must be addressed to: General Counsel, Yaymaker, 22 Kent Street, Somerville, MA 02143. The Notice must state the basis of such claim, including all facts related to such claim, all witnesses to such claim, and a complete statement of the damages such claim seeks, including a description of how such damages are calculated.
ENTRANTS, WINNERS, AND YAYMAKER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless an Entrant, Winner, and Yaymaker agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with another person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
An Entrant and/or Winner agree that any proceeding involving any dispute, claim, action, or controversy arising out of or in connection with the Contest shall be arbitrated, as set forth herein, solely and exclusively in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County, before either (i) JAMS arbitration service or (ii) such other arbitrator as may be agreed to in writing. If the parties are unable to agree on one of these two options, the arbitration shall take place before JAMS arbitration service, located in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Governing Law and Venue provisions set forth herein shall survive termination of these Official Rules, the Contest, and any Yaymaker event attended by an Entrant and/or Winner.
In the event the agreement to arbitrate is held to be invalid or unenforceable, which decision shall be made by the arbitrator only, an Entrant, Winner, and Yaymaker agree that any action or proceeding involving any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Contest, these Official Rules, or any Yaymaker event attended by Entrant and/or Winner shall be brought only in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and in such circumstance an Entrant, Winner, and Yaymaker hereto irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in respect of any such proceeding before (i) the federal District Court for the District of Massachusetts, located in Boston, Massachusetts or (ii) the Massachusetts Superior Court, Middlesex County.
To the extent permitted by law, the right to litigate, to seek injunctive relief or to make any other recourse to judicial or any other procedure in case of disputes or claims resulting from or on connection with this Contest are hereby excluded, and any Entrant and/or Winner expressly waive any and all such rights. Certain restrictions may apply. Entries void if the Sponsor determines the Entry is illegible, incomplete, damaged, irregular, altered, counterfeit, produced in error, submitted by any automated program, contain defamatory, repugnant, or offensive material, or if the Entry was obtained through fraud or theft, or misrepresents any fact; each of the foregoing to be determined in Yaymaker’s sole and exclusive discretion.
By entering, Entrants and/or Winner also agree (a) to be bound by these Official Rules; (b) that the decisions of Yaymaker are final and binding with respect to all matters relating to the Contest; and (c) that Sponsor may use any Entry and each winner’s name, photograph, likeness, recording and/or voice in any publicity or advertising relating to the Contest, the adventure of Winner as a result of their prize, or future promotions without compensation or approval (except where prohibited by law). All federal, state/provincial/territorial, and local taxes, fees and surcharges and taxes (whether foreign or domestic, and including income, sales, and import taxes) on the prize are the sole responsibility of a Winner. In the event that the selected Winner of any prize is ineligible, cannot be traced or does not respond within fifteen (15) days from the time a winner notification is sent as required by the these Official Rules, or refuses the prize, the prize will be forfeited and Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may choose whether to award the prize to another Entrant.
The Sponsor reserves the right to verify the validity of any Entry and/or Entrant (including an Entrant’s identity and address) and to disqualify any Entrant who submits an Entry that is not in accordance with these Official Rules or who tampers with the Entry process. Failure by the Sponsor to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights.
By entering this Contest, Entrants are opting in and consenting to receive communications from the Sponsor.
RIGHT TO CANCEL OR SUSPEND CONTEST
Subject to applicable law, the Sponsor reserves the right to amend, cancel, terminate or suspend the Contest (in whole or in part) if for any reason the Contest cannot be run as planned, including but not limited to: technical failure, computer virus, tampering, fraud, corruption of security, or proper administration of the Contest without providing any prior notice. In the event of termination, cancellation, interruption, suspension or delay of the Contest, the Sponsor reserves the right to still judge all received and valid and eligible Entries at the time of such cancellation, termination, or suspension to determine a Winner and award the Prize.”
If for any reason the Contest is not capable of running as planned, due to infection by computer virus, bugs, worms, trojan horses, denial of service attacks, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other reason that corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of this Contest, Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual(s) who tamper with the entry process, and/or to cancel, terminate, modify, or suspend the Contest.
DATA PRIVACY
By entering the Contest and voluntarily providing personal information required for Entry, Entrants consent to the collection, use, and disclosure by the Sponsor, or its designated agent, of the Entrant’s personal information to administer this Contest. Entrants further agree that personal data, may be processed, shared, and otherwise used for the purposes and within the context of the Contest and any other purposes outlined in these Official Rules and for any other purposes Yaymaker, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. The data may also be used by the Sponsor in order to verify the Entrant’s identity, or to otherwise verify the Entrant’s eligibility to participate in the Contest. Contestants have the right to access, review, rectify, or cancel any personal data held by Sponsor by writing to Yaymaker, 22 Kent Street, Somerville, Massachusetts 02143. Personal data will be used by Sponsor and its affiliates exclusively for the purposes stated herein.
Acceptance of the Prize by a winner constitutes permission for the Sponsor to use a winner’s name, address, prize won, statements made relating to the Contest, and other likeness of the winner for any and all promotional or business purposes without further compensation, except where prohibited by law. The name of the Winner may also be posted on Yaymaker’s website (www.yaymaker.com) or on social media pages during or after the end of the Contest Term.
Yaymaker’s Privacy Policy can be accessed at: yaymaker.com/about-us/privacy

In accordance with COPPA and these Official Rules, Yaymaker will not accept entries or associated information from individuals under the age of 13 at the time of their submission of their Entry.
MISCELLANEOUS
Any attempt by an Entrant or other individual, to deliberately damage any website or undermine the legitimate operation of this Contest, including but not limited to any fraudulent claims, is a violation of criminal and civil laws. Use of any automated system including robotic or form filling software to enter or participate in this Contest is prohibited and will result in disqualification of all Entries by any Entrant using such assistance.
