10. Conduct and Decisions.  By participating in the Contest, participants agree to be bound by the decisions of Company personnel.  Persons who violate any rule, gain unfair advantage in participating in the Contest, or obtain winner status using fraudulent means will be disqualified. Unsportsmanlike, disruptive, annoying, harassing or threatening behavior is prohibited. The Company will interpret these rules and resolve any disputes, conflicting claims or ambiguities concerning the rules or the Contest and the Company’s decisions concerning such disputes shall be final. If the conduct or outcome of the Contest is affected by human error, any mechanical malfunctions or failures of any kind, intentional interference or any event beyond the control of the Company, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Contest, or make such other decisions regarding the outcome as the Company deems appropriate. All decisions will be made by the Company and are final. The Company may waive any of these rules in its sole discretion. Any attempt by an entrant or any other individual to deliberately circumvent, disrupt, damage or undermine the legitimate operation of this Contest is a violation of criminal and civil laws. Should such an attempt be made, the Company reserves the right to seek civil and/or criminal prosecution and/or damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. Compliance with Law.  The conduct of the Contest is governed by the applicable laws of the United States of America and the State of North Carolina, which take precedence over any rule to the contrary herein. The Company shall follow the applicable laws for conducting contests, including where applicable notice to the state attorney general or consumer affairs office, posting of a prize bond, furnishing lists of winners, running specific online disclaimers, providing specific written information about the Contest, etc. as required by local and state law. Any failure by Company to enforce any rights granted or restrictions imposed hereunder or to take action against a user in the event of any breach hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver by the Company as to subsequent enforcement of rights or subsequent actions in the event of future breaches. The Company’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this paragraph shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The Company reserves the right, in its sole and unencumbered discretion, to amend these Contest Rules from time to time. If there is a conflict between the Contest Rules of a specific contest and the most current version of the Company’s General Contest Rules, the General Contest Rules will prevail. Failure to accept amendments made to the General Contest Rules may cause your entry to be immediately and automatically disqualified. If any term or provision of the General Contest Rules is declared void or unenforceable in a particular situation, by any competent judicial or administrative authority, this declaration shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation, and under such circumstances, the balance of the General Contest Rules shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

12. Miscellaneous. Void where prohibited by law. Odds of winning cannot be calculated since they depend upon the number of participating sponsors and the number of contestants. For prizes other than coupons, discounts, savings alerts etc, each winner must submit proof of eligibility and sign the Company’s release form to claim the prize(s). The Company may substitute prizes, amend the rules or discontinue the Contest at any time as announced at the Company’s website or affiliated platform(s) where the Contest is installed. The Company disclaims any responsibility to notify participants of any aspect related to the conduct of the Contest. All entries become the property of the Company and will not be returned.

The headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the General Contest Rules.

Entering the Contest more than once is prohibited.

The “$100,000 SAVINGS BONAZA” End Date occurs when the cumulative amount of savings and cash winnings from all sources, including participating sponsors equals or exceeds $100,000.00 unless the “$100,000.00 Savings Bonanza” Contest Rules Creator(s) determine(s) in their sole discretion to extend or end the Contest.

The dollar value of “Savings” are calculated by adding the difference between the regular price(s) and the “savings” price(s) of the products and services offered by participating sponsors. These “savings” can take the form of coupons, discounts, rebates, special offers and other price concessions made available from participating sponsors to qualified contestants and accessible through Company and Affiliate platforms, including but not limited to buylocali.com and pigglywigglyapp.com.

All cash prizes are based solely upon the winning proceeds of Official Lottery Tickets purchased by participating sponsors. Said proceeds will be divided equally among the Contest Winners less a twenty (20%) percent administrative fee retained by the Company.

A Winning Lottery Ticket triggers a semi final round during which every contestant will be emailed a list of knowledge based quiz questions. The one thousand (1,000) highest scoring Contestants will be invited to participate in consecutive rounds of knowledge based quizzes. The End Date of the contest occurs when all but 100 finalists have been eliminated.

Contestant eliminations will be based upon incorrect answers to the knowledge based quiz questions. The 100 finalists will share equally in the Cash Awards.

Once a week, the management of every participating sponsor shall do the following: 1) purchase a Ticket in the Lottery of their choice, 2) write “Savings Bonanza” on the back of the ticket and 3) secure the ticket in a safe place. All tickets are to be retained for a period of twelve (12) months after the End Date of the contest.

Participating sponsors grant the right of the “Savings Bonanza” Contest Organizers to inspect the then current Savings Bonanza Lottery Ticket at any time during the participating store’s normal hours of operation.

All announcements relating to the contest and the awarding of cash prizes will be made by email sent to all qualified contestants.

The “$100,000.00 SAVINGS BONAZA”, like all the Company’s contests is subject to the CHRONICLES COMMUNITY CREATIONS’ GENERAL CONTEST RULES.
