20. The following are specifically related to E-contests and E-Mail Club promotions on Townsquare stations websites:

  1. All appropriate information in required fields must be filled out or you will be disqualified.
  2. To win a prize you must reside within the listening area of Townsquare Media MARKET, as defined at the exclusive discretion of Townsquare Media management.
  3. Any problems with the internet or email are not Townsquare Media’s responsibility.

21. Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests heard on a Townsquare Media station’s internet audio stream are slightly delayed from the time the contests are heard on the broadcast station, and will be running behind the broadcast signal. Thus, all contests heard are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 45 seconds or more. This means that when Townsquare Media station contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 10 when you hear the sound effect”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air.

22. All giveaways and contests are void where prohibited by law. All local, state, and federal regulations apply. As a licensee of the FCC and a trustee of the public airwaves, Townsquare Media reserves the right to interrupt and/or discontinue any contest or promotion (and not award the offered prize) at the discretion of Townsquare Media management if world events, the national mood, or public safety so warrant Townsquare Media reserves the right to disqualify any winner if the contest rules have been violated in any way. Townsquare Media reserves the right to amend the rules to any contest at any time. All decisions of Townsquare Media are final.
