LM Media General Contest Rules
Important: These General Contest Rules apply unless a specific contest has separate official rules. If the specific rules conflict with these General Contest Rules, the specific rules control.
How to obtain the rules. A copy is available during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, at WYBB-FM, 59 Windermere Blvd Charleston, SC 29407, or by mailing a self-addressed, stamped envelope to that address. Material terms for individual contests may also be posted on the Station’s website as announced on air.
Eligibility and Entry
No purchase necessary
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE THE ODDS OF WINNING. Contests are void where prohibited and are subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
Age and residency
Unless the specific contest rules state otherwise, entrants must be legal residents of Kentucky who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry. The Station may limit eligibility to persons whose primary residence is within 50 miles of 59 Windermere Blvd Charleston, SC 29407. Contests involving alcoholic beverages require entrants to be at least 21 years old. A specific contest may impose additional age, residency, travel, licensing, or other eligibility requirements.
Household and frequency limits
Unless otherwise stated, only one person per household may enter a contest. No person may win more than one prize from a contest sponsored or conducted by LM Media within any 30-day period. A person may win a seasonal, major, or one-time contest only once during that contest’s stated duration.
Ineligible persons
Employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives of LM Media, participating sponsors, prize providers, advertising and promotion agencies, and any radio, television, or cable company operating within 100 miles of the Station’s broadcast transmission tower are not eligible. Their immediate family members and household members are also ineligible. For these rules, immediate family includes a spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, and cohabiting significant other.
Entry limits
Unless the specific contest rules state otherwise, limit one entry per person per contest. Automated, bulk, duplicate, incomplete, late, illegible, corrupted, or fraudulent entries may be disqualified. Entries become the property of the Station and will not be returned.
Winner Selection and Notification
Winner selection and odds
Winners will be selected as described in the specific contest rules. When a winner is selected by random drawing, the drawing will be made from all eligible entries received. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries, the number of prizes available, and, for call-in or other time-sensitive contests, the number of persons participating at the relevant time.
Notification and verification
A potential winner is subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with all rules. The Station may contact a potential winner using the telephone number, email address, social-media account, or other contact information supplied at entry. If a potential winner cannot be reached within the time stated in the specific rules, fails to respond, cannot verify eligibility, or declines the prize, the potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate may be selected, if time and circumstances permit.
Identification and documents
Before receiving a prize, a winner must provide identification reasonably satisfactory to LM Media and may be required to sign an eligibility affidavit, liability release, publicity release, tax form, and any other documents reasonably required by LM Media or the prize provider.
Prizes
Claiming prizes
Unless otherwise stated, prizes must be claimed in person at the Station between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, within ten business days after the winner is notified. Event tickets must be claimed no later than two business days before the event unless the Station provides different instructions. A prize not claimed by the applicable deadline is forfeited and may be awarded to an alternate winner or otherwise disposed of at the Station’s discretion.
Prize conditions
Prizes are awarded as is, with no substitution or cash redemption, except that LM Media may substitute a prize of equal or greater value when necessary. Prizes are nontransferable unless LM Media approves a transfer in writing. If a winner cannot or will not accept all prize conditions, the prize is forfeited and the winner has no claim to an alternate prize or compensation.
Taxes and expenses
The stated approximate retail value is based on information reasonably available to LM Media. Winners are solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes and all costs not expressly included in the prize. A winner must provide any tax information required by law. LM Media will issue an applicable IRS information return when required, including for prizes and awards totaling $2000 or more in a calendar year.
Tickets travel and events
For ticketed events, LM Media is not responsible for cancellation, postponement, schedule changes, seat location, lost or stolen tickets, or acts or omissions of the venue, promoter, performer, carrier, or prize provider. If a prize includes travel, the winner and any guest are responsible for required identification, travel documents, insurance, incidental expenses, and compliance with provider rules unless the specific contest rules state otherwise.
No warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, LM Media and the released parties disclaim all express and implied warranties concerning a prize, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Manufacturer or provider warranties, if any, apply according to their terms.
Contest Administration
Station decisions
By entering, each participant agrees to these rules and to the final decisions of authorized Station personnel concerning eligibility, administration, winner selection, and interpretation of the rules. LM Media may disqualify anyone who violates the rules, tampers with an entry or contest system, gains an unfair advantage, uses fraudulent means, or engages in disruptive, abusive, harassing, threatening, or unsportsmanlike conduct.
Technical and other disruptions
LM Media is not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, incomplete, corrupted, or undeliverable entries or communications, or for failures of telephone, wireless, Internet, streaming, computer, server, platform, or other systems. If fraud, technical failure, human error, force majeure, or another event beyond reasonable control affects the integrity or operation of a contest, LM Media may suspend, modify, cancel, or terminate the contest and determine an equitable resolution consistent with applicable law.
Signal delay
Streaming, mobile-app, smart-speaker, satellite, and other digital delivery methods may be delayed compared with the Station’s over-the-air broadcast. A listener using a delayed signal may hear a cue or contest information later than an over-the-air listener, which may reduce that listener’s chance of winning a time-sensitive contest.
Material terms and changes
Each contest’s material terms will be disclosed on air, online, or both, as applicable. When material terms are posted online, the Station will maintain them for at least 30 days after the contest ends. Any material change made during a contest will be disclosed as required by applicable law and will be reflected in the posted rules.
Attempted interference
Any deliberate attempt to damage, disrupt, tamper with, or undermine the legitimate operation of a contest, telephone system, website, application, or related technology may violate civil or criminal law. LM Media reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Publicity Privacy and Platforms
Publicity release
Except where prohibited by law, accepting a prize grants LM Media, its stations, sponsors, and affiliates permission to use the winner’s name, city and state, photograph, likeness, voice, statements, and audio or video recording for contest administration, station promotion, publicity, and related purposes in any media, without additional compensation or notice.
Personal information
LM Media may collect and use information supplied by entrants to administer a contest, verify eligibility, contact winners, deliver prizes, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations. Information may be shared with sponsors, prize providers, vendors, and service providers as reasonably necessary for those purposes and as described in the applicable privacy policy. Entry does not require consent to receive promotional email or marketing messages. Any optional marketing consent will be requested separately and may be withdrawn without affecting an otherwise valid entry, subject to applicable law.
Children’s privacy
Online contests are not directed to children under 13, and LM Media does not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If LM Media learns that such information was submitted without legally required parental consent, it will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Third party platforms
A contest conducted through Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, or another third-party platform is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with that platform unless expressly stated. By entering, participants release the applicable platform from claims arising from the contest to the extent permitted by law. Entrants must comply with the platform’s terms and policies. Questions about the contest should be directed to the Station, not the platform.
Release and Limitation of Liability
Release. By entering and, if selected, accepting a prize, each participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to release and hold harmless LM Media, the Station, participating sponsors, prize providers, promotional partners, platforms used to administer or promote the contest, and each of their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives from claims, injuries, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from participation in the contest or the acceptance, possession, use, misuse, or award of a prize, except to the extent such a release is prohibited by law.
Limitation. Nothing in these rules limits any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
Governing Law
Unless prohibited by applicable law or stated otherwise in the specific contest rules, these rules and each contest are governed by the laws of the South Carolina Legislature, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction serving Charleston County, South Carolina.
