By participating or attempting to participate in a Contest, each entrant (an “Entrant”) will be deemed to have received, understood, and agreed to the applicable Short Rules and the Contest Rules.

ZML may also cancel or remove a Contest from a Third Party Service, curiocity.com at any time without prior notice to entrants.

Can my entry be rejected by ZML?

A Selected Entrant will only be declared a winner (a “Winning Entrant”) if the Selected Entrant correctly answers, unaided, a mathematical skill-testing question, and completes, signs, and returns the Release (as described below).

What is the Release and how do I complete it?

Prior to being declared a Winning Entrant, a Selected Entrant is required to execute and return a legal declaration and release form (the “Release”), which, among other things:

1. confirms the Selected Entrant’s eligibility and compliance with the applicable Short Rules and the Contest Rules;
2. acknowledges acceptance of the prize(s) as offered; and
3. indemnifies and releases ZML and its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, and/or related companies and each of their respective employees, directors, officers, suppliers, representatives and agents, as well as any Third Party Service used in relation to administering the Contest (collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all liability for:
1. any personal injury, death, damage to or loss or destruction of property;
2. any stolen, late, incomplete, illegible, inaccurate, misdirected, lost, misrouted, scrambled, damaged, delayed,

8. any other errors, problems or difficulties of any kind, whether human, mechanical, electronic, or otherwise,
relating in any way to the Contest, including those errors, problems, or difficulties that may relate to the
administration of the Contest, the processing of entries, the advertising of the Contest, or the announcement of
any prize or the identity of the Selected Entrant.

If the executed Release is not returned within 48 hours from when sent to the Selected Entrant, the Selected Entrant will be disqualified and the prize(s) will be forfeited. In accordance with the applicable Short Rules and the Contest Rules, ZML, in its sole discretion, may select another Selected Entrant, and award the prize(s) to such Selected Entrant if they are declared a Winning Entrant.

What are the odds of winning a prize?

The odds of winning any prize depend on the number of valid entries received in the Contest in which such prize is being offered.

How does a winner claim a prize?

The Winning Entrant will be notified within 7 days of selection in the manner specified in the Short Rules, and must reply within 24 hours of being notified, unless otherwise specified in the Short Rules.

How are prizes distributed?

A prize may be provided to the Winning Entrant by ZML or the third party providing the prize in the Contest. [In the event that any prize is provided directly by a third party to a Winning Entrant, ZML accepts no liability for any undue delay in the distribution of a prize. The third party will be responsible for shipping and providing all prizes to Winning Entrants within a reasonable time period. If the third party will provide the prize, ZML will provide the Winning Entrant’s shipping information to the third party promptly upon completion of the Contest.]

The Winning Entrant must accept the applicable prize(s) as rewarded and may not be exchanged for cash or any other product(s) or service(s) except by ZML. ZML reserves the right to substitute any prize with another of equal or greater value.

Except as otherwise indicated by ZML, the Winning Entrant must personally take delivery of the applicable prize(s) as instructed within [72 hours] of being notified that the prize(s) are available or within such other time period as the Winning Entrant may reasonably be advised by ZML. If instructed in writing by the Winning Entrant, ZML may mail the prize(s) to the Winning Entrant’s mailing address in Canada. If a Winning Entrant fails to take delivery of any prize as instructed, such prize may be deemed forfeited and ZML reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to select another eligible entry as a potential winner.

How will my personal information be collected, used, and disclosed?

By entering a Contest, the Entrant consents to ZML’s collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information as ZML deems necessary for the administration of the Contest as described in the applicable Short Rules, the Contest Rules and for promotional purposes, as applicable. Each Entrant agrees that if they become a Selected Entrant or Winning Entrant, ZML may disclose and use their personal information (including name, address, telephone numbers, and/or email addresses) to administer the Contest and deliver the prize(s).

Personal data submitted online becomes the property of ZML. An Entrant may access and obtain a copy of their personal information upon written request to [email protected].
