The decisions of WWE are final and not subject to appeal.

 

TWO (2) PRIZESEach prize winner will receive four (4) tickets (for the prize winner and three (3) guests) to a WWE live event in the prize winner’s local area (within 100 miles of winner’s residence), including a meet and greet with a WWE Superstar or WWE Diva (the “Event”) (the exact WWE Event, Event location, seat locations, identity of WWE Superstar or WWE Diva, and date selected by WWE in its sole discretion), a WWE t-shirt, and a WWE Community Champions certificate.  In addition, WWE may, at its option, choose to spotlight the prize winners in WWE Kids Magazine and/or on wwe.com.  Approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the prize: $225, each.

 

If an Event is not scheduled to take place in the prize winner’s local area within one (1) year of winner’s confirmation as a prize winner, WWE will substitute the stated prize with another prize of comparable or greater value in its sole discretion.  Note that WWE may not know the schedule of events for the full year at the time a prize winner is confirmed.  In such case, WWE will contact the prize winner once an Event is scheduled in the winner’s local area.  All prize winners must be accompanied to the Event by a parent or legal guardian, who must attend the Event at his or her own expense, unless such parent or legal guardian is among the prize winner’s chosen guests. In all cases, the prize winner’s guests, or the parent/legal guardian of any guest who is a minor in his or her state of residence, will be required to sign a Liability and Publicity Release (except where prohibited by law).
