LitPitch Apple-a-Month Contest

Official Rules

The LitPitch Apple-a-Month Contest (the “Contest”) is intended to reward the three LitPitch members who, through May 16, 2008 (at 12:01 a.m. EST), refer the most “Unique Visitors” to www.LitPitch.com.

1. ELIGIBILITY. All individuals who have either Reader or Writer accounts on LitPitch.com during the Contest period are eligible, subject to the provisions of this Paragraph. ANY QUALIFIED ENTRANT WHO IS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 AND/OR A MINOR IN HIS/HER JURISDICTION OF RESIDENCE MUST HAVE PERMISSION OF PARENT (OR BOTH PARENTS WHERE REQUIRED BY LAW) OR LEGAL GUARDIAN TO BE QUALIFIED TO WIN ANY PRIZES. Only legal residents of the United States of America or Canada will be eligible to win. Anyone who has won or received a prize as a result of a LitPitch.com, Inc. contest in the 30 days prior to May 16, 2008 is ineligible to win any prize in this Contest. The Contest is not open to employees or independent contractors, or immediate family members (spouses, domestic partners, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, and grandchildren) and/or those living in the same household of employees or independent contractors of Sponsor and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, advisors, or advertising/promotion agencies.  No purchase is necessary, and any purchases of any services will not alter or enhance the chances of winning.

2. HOW TO WIN. Visitors to LitPitch are required to signup either as a Reader or Writer in order to participate. Each existing registered LitPitch member at the Contest inception and each new member, once registered, will be presented with specific contest instructions on the website. The instructions will provide the member with an account-specific URL that can be copied. The LitPitch member may send this link to friends, family or other individuals via email or any other method they desire. Each time a Unique Person clicks on the user’s link and visits the LitPitch website, the member’s account receives a Referral Point. At the end of the contest, the top three members with the most Referral Points will win the contest. For the purpose of this Contest, a Unique Person consists of a visit to the website from a unique IP address (i.e. a specific computer).

3. PRIZES. The following prizes will be awarded to the winners:

• First Place: Choice of (1) an Apple iPhone (8GB) or (2) an Apple iPod Touch (16GB)
• Second Place: Apple iPod Nano (4GB)
• Third Place: Apple iPod Shuffle (2GB)

Winners will be notified by e-mail and/or phone within five (5) days of the contest ending date. Prizes will be mailed to the winners within thirty (30) days of confirmation of the winner’s eligibility. If a winner is deemed ineligible, or confirmation of eligibility cannot be accomplished within (30) days of the contest ending date, the prize will be awarded to the eligible entrant with the next-most referral points. Prizes are non-transferable and may not be substituted.
