By participating in the Sweepstakes, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of Legendary Digital Networks, LLC, 2900 W. Alameda Ave., Suite 1500, Burbank, CA 91505 (“Sponsor”), which shall be final and binding in all respects.

This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Twitter.  Twitter is completely released of all liability by each entrant in this Sweepstakes.

ELIGIBILITY:  Only legal U.S. residents residing in the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry are eligible to enter. Officers, directors and employees of Sponsor and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, advertising and promotion agencies (all such individuals and entities referred to collectively, the “Sweepstakes Entities”), and each of their immediate family members and/or people living in the same household are NOT eligible to enter the Sweepstakes or win a prize.  This Sweepstakes is void where prohibited.

HOW TO ENTER:

To enter the Sweepstakes, you'll first need to become a registered user of www.Twitter.com ("Twitter”) or log into your Twitter account.  If you do not have an account, go to www.Twitter.com to create one. Twitter accounts are free. By submitting your information and creating a Twitter account, you agree to the Twitter, Terms of Use and Privacy Notice. If you do not agree to such Terms of Use and Privacy Notice, you cannot create a Twitter account, or participate in this Sweepstakes.  Additionally, to enter via Twitter, your account must be set to public.

During the Sweepstakes Period: (i) log on to your Twitter account and follow @nerdist (if you are not already following), (ii) then look for the Sweepstakes announcement (“Sweepstakes Announcement”) on Sponsor’s Twitter (@nerdist) feed, and enter the sweepstakes at this link: https://app.viralsweep.com/tp/122981/1666815488/3ed2dd34a8 , and you will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. By entering the Sweepstakes you affirm that you have read, understand and agree to these Official Rules.

Please Note: The content of your Twitter will not be judged and therefore will not increase or decrease your chances of winning the prize.  Tweets must be responsive to the “call to action” message and must not be obscene or offensive; must not depict alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, firearms/weapons, or any activities that may appear unsafe or dangerous or illegal; and must not be sexually explicit or suggestive, all as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.  Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, alter or remove any Tweet. Tweets must be suitable for presentation in a public forum, at the sole discretion of Sponsor. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same Twitter account.

Limit one (1) entry per person.  

The Twitter database clock will be the official time keeper for this Sweepstakes.  All requested information must be provided to be eligible to win.  Proof of submission is not considered proof of delivery to or receipt by Sponsor of such entry.  Entry must be made by the entrant. You are providing your information to Sponsor, not to Twitter. Entries made by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any other website or e-mail, including but not limited to, commercial sweepstakes, subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Sweepstakes.  Tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to the use of any device to automate the entry process, is prohibited and any entries deemed by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, to have been submitted in this manner will be void.  In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.  The Sweepstakes Entities shall not be responsible for incorrect or inaccurate entry information whether caused by Internet users or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes or by any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the entries in the Sweepstakes.  The Sweepstakes Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of entries.

USE OF THIRD PARTY PARTNER: Sponsor may use the services of a third party to administer the sweepstakes (i.e., ViralSweep). In the event that such third party partner is utilized by Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, all Sweepstakes entries must be made through the applicable third party platform in accordance with the third party’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. All personal information provided by you and entered into the third party platform will be subject to the third party platform’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION:  After the Sweepstakes Period, One (1) Grand Prize winner and two (2) Runner Up Winners will be selected in a random drawing conducted by Sponsor from all eligible entries received throughout the Sweepstakes Period.  Potential winners will be notified by direct message via Twitter or a comment on their Tweet.  Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason.  If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within three (3) days of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected. If any potential winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines a prize for any reason prior to award, such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected. Sponsor may successively attempt to contact up to three (3) potential winners of an applicable prize in accordance with such procedure, and if there is still no confirmed winner of such applicable prize after such attempts have been made, if any, such prize may go unawarded.
