(the "Entry Period"). If a
Tweet is more than one post in length it will be considered as one entry with
the first post considered the entry. Participating Tweets must contain
the hash tag #FuturamaV7DVD in order to be eligible. Due to the privacy
settings of individual participants, not all Tweets may be viewable by all @FoxHomeEnt
followers. Any Tweets using the tag #FuturamaV7DVD tweeted by @FoxHomeEnt,
@ComedyCentral will not be counted as an eligible Tweet and therefore will not
be included in the Tweet count. The decisions of @FoxHomeEnt are final and binding on all matters relating to
determining eligibility of Tweets. Limit: one entry per person per day
and each entrant may enter using only one Twitter account or email address per
day. Sponsor’s determination that an entrant has created multiple Twitter
accounts and/or email accounts in order to exceed the limits on entries
permitted by these Official Rules will result in the disqualification of all
entries from such accounts. Automated Tweets or Tweets sent via a bot
will be disqualified. Online entrants are subject to all notices posted online
including but not limited to the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy.
In the event of a dispute over
who submitted a winning entry, the authorized subscriber of the Twitter account
used to participate in the Sweepstakes at the actual time of entry will be
deemed to be the entrant. The authorized account subscriber is defined as the
natural person who is assigned a Twitter account by Twitter. All entries
must comply with all Twitter rules, regulations, policies and guidelines,
including without limitation, the Twitter Terms of Service and Rules available
at http://twitter.com. If your Twitter
account settings are set to “protect” your Tweets, your updates/responses may
not be visible to @FoxHomeEnt and may thus not be received by Sponsor unless
you previously consented to permit @FoxHomeEnt to see your Twitter
updates. A wireless mobile device is not required to enter the
Sweepstakes. All entries have an equal chance of winning. All entries
become the property of the Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.
