STANDARD OFFICIAL RULES

1. HOW TO ENTER: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

To enter online sweepstakes and contests, listeners register online at http://www.theloon.com/. If entries are permitted by other means (e.g., by telephone, mail or telefax), the other permitted forms of entry will be indicated on our website and may periodically be included in on-air promotions on KLIZ-FM 107.5 (“The Power Loon” or “Station”).

To enter on-air sweepstakes contests, listeners can enter as explained by the on-air talent (i.e., caller #10, etc) on The Power Loon.

By entering, you are providing the information to the Station, and not Facebook.

 

To enter text message sweepstakes and contests, listeners will be asked to use a text-messaging enabled wireless device to text a specified “keyword” to a specified five digit number. After you send in the text-message you will receive a confirmation text validating one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes.  You will be charged for each text message sent or received from your handset according to the terms and conditions of your Service Agreement with your wireless carrier. Your standard text and data rates may apply.  Each wireless carrier’s rate plan may vary, and entrants should contact their wireless carrier for information on text messaging rate plans and charges relating to your participation in the sweepstakes or contest.  Any text message form of entry into a sweepstakes or contest will be deemed made by the named account holder whose mobile phone number is assigned at the time of entry to the text-messaging enabled wireless device used to text the entry.  Each text message sent to or received by a service subscriber of any wireless carrier may incur a standard text messaging charge in accordance with that carrier’s (Terms and Conditions) applicable to such subscriber’s particular voice/data rate plan. Contact your wireless carrier for text messaging plan details.

Deadlines for entering will typically be stated on the station website or announced by our on-air talent and may periodically be included in on-air promotions.

Unless otherwise indicated on our website or as explained by our on-air talent or in our on-air promotions, there is a limit of one entry per contest per person; any person submitting more than one entry per contest may be disqualified.

Station is not responsible for problems accessing the Station websites or Facebook page, for problems sending a text, technical or atmospheric conditions that disrupt the completion of a website or text entry, or any other problems which may or may not result from station sweepstakes and contests.

Note that webcasts of Station’s programming are typically on a delayed basis, which may affect a webcast listener’s ability to participate in any contest or sweepstakes.  Station will not accept collect calls. Station is not responsible for telephone line unavailability, busy signals on the sweepstakes or contest line, operator interference, technical or atmospheric conditions that disrupt the completion of the phone call, telephone system malfunctions, or any other telephone problems or human error which may or may not result from any sweepstakes or contest.

HOW WINNERS ARE CHOSEN AND NOTIFIED:  The criteria and process for selecting winners will typically be stated on the website or as explained by our on-air talent and may periodically be included in on-air promotions.  Unless otherwise stated, winners will be notified by e-mail and/or phone. THE POWER LOON is not responsible if the winner is unable to be notified via the e-mail address submitted to enter the contest.

3. PRIZES:  The number of winners, the specific prizes to be awarded, and the values of prizes will typically be stated on the website or as explained by our on-air talent and may be periodically included in on-air promotions.
