- GIFTS: Each gift is live event tickets, awarded as either tickets to a specific event or a StubHub eGift Card, up to a $300 value, as determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion (“Gift”). Each Gift is provided to the Gift Recipient, and not the Nominator. Gift Recipient has no obligation to participate in any Gift activity with the Nominator.

Upon selection, each potential Gift Recipient will be notified by Sponsor via the Gift Recipient’s e-mail as entered on the Nomination and will be required to reply to Sponsor’s notification with indication that he/she has read and agrees to the Program Terms & Conditions. If a notification e-mail is retuned as undeliverable, a potential Gift Recipient fails to return the respond to Sponsor’s notification within five (5) calendar days, if any Nominee is found to be ineligible or not in compliance with these Terms & Conditions, or declines to accept the Gift, the Gift may be forfeited, in Sponsor’s sole discretion.
Sponsor will attempt to notify potential Gift Recipients as set forth above, but Sponsor is not responsible for any undelivered e-mails, including without limitation e-mails that are not received because of a Gift Recipient’s privacy or spam filter settings which may divert any Program e-mail, including any notification e-mail, to a spam or junk folder. If a Gift is unclaimed, unredeemed, or returned as undeliverable, it will not be provided. If, after a good- faith attempt, Sponsor is unable to provide or deliver a Gift, the Gift may not be provided. Gifts will be e-mailed to each Gift Recipient within 2 - 4 weeks of verification. The Program Entities shall not be held responsible for any delays in providing a Gift for any reason. A Gift will only be awarded to a verified Gift Recipient.

Gift Recipients agree that by posting any comments or other materials, they grant Sponsor and/or Sponsor’s designee the perpetual right to use these comments and materials for promotion, trade, commercial, advertising, and publicity purposes, at any time or times, in all media now known or hereafter discovered. Agreement to share live event experiences is not a condition of accepting a Gift, and Gift Recipients may elect to not share the experience with Sponsor. If a Gift Recipient agrees to share his/her live event experience Sponsor will send a publicity release to the Gift Recipient to execute.
By sharing a live event experience, Gift Recipients agree to allow Sponsor and/or Sponsor’s designee the perpetual right to use their name, biographical information, photos and/or likeness, and statements for promotion, trade, commercial, advertising, and publicity purposes, at any time or times, in all media now known or hereafter discovered including live television, world wide, including, but not limited to, on the World Wide Web and Internet, without notice, review, or approval and without additional compensation except where prohibited by law.
