MEMBERSHIP

In order to access or use some features of the Website, you will have to become a registered user. If you are under the age of eighteen, then you are not permitted to register as a user or otherwise submit personal information to keepthesweep.com. If you become a registered user, you will provide true, accurate and complete registration information and, if such information changes, you will promptly update the relevant registration information. During registration, you will create a user name and password (a “Membership”), which may permit you access to certain areas of the Website not available to non-registered users. You are responsible for safeguarding and maintaining the confidentiality of your Membership. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs under your Membership, whether or not you have authorized the activity.

An annual non-refundable membership fee ($25) will be applied and processed through payment options provided for the user (“primary member”). Membership will expire 365 days after completing the registration process. A renewal process will be provided as an option. During the initial registration or anytime for the duration of membership, primary members may add sweepstakes of their choice to their account for a fee. This fee is refundable within fifteen (15) days of adding said sweepstakes to primary member’s account or before the sweepstakes official entry deadline, whichever comes first. No refunds will be granted after a sweepstakes has expired. In the event sweepstakes are canceled for any reason beyond our control, keepthesweep.com will refund fees for canceled sweepstakes. Some charges may apply. Primary members will also have the option to add one (1) individual (spouse/partner) to their account for an additional ($25) non-refundable fee. Added individual (spouse/partner) will qualify for the same benefits as the primary member should he/she win any of the sweepstakes listed on the primary member’s account. Primary members will have login access to update their membership information. For security reasons, changes to some personal data may not be allowed. Keepthesweep.com will only recognize and accept the member’s name and/or individual’s (spouse/partner) name on the account prior to any official sweepstakes drawing and not thereafter.

Keepthesweep.com does not enter its members in sweepstakes. Therefore, members must independently enter official sweepstakes for a chance to become a winner. Registering with keepthesweep.com does not solely constitute coverage of federal, state, or property taxes for members who win sweepstakes. Members must add the sweepstakes to their account before the official sweepstakes deadline to complete the process. Members must also add the name of spouse/partner to their account prior to the sweepstakes deadline in order for the spouse/partner to qualify for claims. If you have already entered any official sweepstakes before becoming a member of keepthesweep.com and the official sweepstakes have not expired, you are still covered under these Terms and Conditions as a member. However, any official sweepstakes whose official deadline has already passed prior to the contestant becoming a member of keepthesweep.com can not be added to the member’s account.

SUBMITTING A CLAIM

We highly recommend consulting with a professional tax advisor before submitting a claim. Members or added individuals (spouse/partner) can not submit a claim unless sweepstakes are identified on their account prior to winning said sweepstakes. Claimants must maintain an active membership to file a claim or the claim becomes null and void.

Claim payouts are determined by the total collection of membership fees and other charges associated with a specific sweepstakes. You must be a primary member or added individual (spouse/partner) of keepthesweep.com and the winner of the same official sweepstakes posted on the primary member’s keepthesweep.com account in order to submit a claim. Name and address of winner of the official sweepstakes must match keepthesweep.com’s member profile. Claim forms may be downloaded from keepthesweep.com’s website or members may request by mail. Members or added individuals (spouse/partner) have sixty (60) days from the transfer date to submit claims. (Transfer date is when a prize is officially transferred to the winner and winner takes full responsibility of receiving such prize). The amount of federal income taxes paid out by keepthesweep.com on behalf of the primary member or added individual (spouse/partner) is not to exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the grand prize. Members may also choose to have state income and/or property taxes covered by KeeptheSweep for an additional fee. These options must also be selected before the chosen sweepstakes official deadline. Payments are made to the appropriate agencies for the year which the prize was awarded. Any other miscellaneous taxes are not included and are the sole responsibility of the claimant as well as any other taxes that occur as a result of any claim payouts except when multi-year tax options are selected. Members will have the option to select 1, 3, or 5 years tax coverage for sweepstakes added to their account. KeeptheSweep will pay a maximum of 35% on any previous federal payout associated with a claim until the term expires. State income taxes will also be based on previous payouts made by KeeptheSweep until the term expires. Property taxes will be based on the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the prize until the term expires.

The claim payout relates only toward the official sweepstakes total grand prize value (FMV) and does not include any other federal income taxes or capital gain by the claimant prior to or after winning the prize nor does it relate to the combination thereof. A cashier check will be payable directly to the Internal Revenue Service and will be received by the end of the first month of the following tax year (January). Verification will be provided to the primary member or claimant. Any refunds awarded to the primary member or claimant by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will not be challenged by WARNER SOLUTIONS, LLC or its affiliates. Primary members or claimants will be required to sign an affidavit of eligibility, release of liability and publicity, including, but not limited to, the use of claimant’s name, hometown and photograph without additional compensation (where lawful). Claims may be mailed to the following address:

Dallas, Texas 75201

SELLING PRIZE OR ACCEPTING CASH OPTIONS

Selling a sweepstakes prize prior to submitting a claim to keepthesweep.com will not void your claim. The Terms and Conditions of a claim payout are based upon the Fair Market Value (FMV) of a sweepstakes grand prize. If a primary member or added individual (spouse/partner) of keepthesweep.com decides on a cash option offered by the Sponor/Sponors of an official sweepstakes, he/she may still be eligible for claim benefits. However, cash options are usually less than the Approximate Retail Value (ARV) or Fair Market Value (FMV) of the grand prize. In this case, keepthesweep.com will pay up to a maximum of thirty-five percent (35%) of the cash received for members accepting cash options after winning a sweepstakes grand prize. All other Terms and Conditions apply.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION – BINDING ARBITRATION

In the Dispute Resolution Section only, “we” and “us” are used to refer to you and keepthesweep.com together.

(A) We each agree to first contact each other with any disputes and provide a written description of the problem, all relevant documents/information and the proposed resolution. You agree to contact us with disputes by contacting us at the address provided in these Terms and Conditions. We will contact you based on the contact information you have provided us.

(B) We each agree to finally settle all disputes (as defined and subject to any specific exceptions below) only by arbitration. In arbitration, there’s no judge or jury and review is limited. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms and limitations in the Terms and Conditions and can award the same damages and relief. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. We each also agree as follows:

(i) “Disputes” are any claims or controversies against each other related in any way to the Website, Website Content or these Terms and Conditions – this includes claims you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates or other representatives, and claims keepthesweep.com may bring against you.

(ii) If either of us wants to arbitrate a dispute, we agree to send written notice to the other providing a description of the dispute, previous efforts to resolve the dispute, all supporting documents and information, and the proposed resolution. keepthesweep.com will send notice to you based on the contact information you have provided keepthesweep.com and notice to keepthesweep.com must be sent to : WARNER SOLUTIONS, LLC, ATTN: Legal Department, 325 N. St. Paul Street, Suite 3100, Dallas, Texas 75201. We agree to make attempts to resolve the dispute. If we cannot resolve the dispute within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the notice to arbitrate, then we may submit the dispute to formal arbitration.

(iii) The FAA applies to the Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree the FAA’s provisions, not state law, govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.

(iv) The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its arbitration rules. If any AAA rule conflicts with these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions apply. You can obtain procedures, rules, and fee information from the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or www.adr.org.

(v) The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and will take place in Dallas, Texas. The federal or state law that applies to these Terms and Conditions will also apply during the arbitration.

(vi) We each agree not to involve any claims other than our own while we pursue arbitration. We each agree that any arbitration will be solely between us (not brought on behalf of or together with another individual’s claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in court.

(vii) The prevailing party in the arbitration will be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees, which are incurred in connection with the arbitration.

NO CLASS ACTIONS

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.

NO TRIAL BY JURY

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
