11. Content Submissions (Applicable where entries include user-generated content)

11.1 General

Where a Promotion requires you to submit content (e.g., photos, videos, or text), you confirm that:

  • the content is your own original creation;
  • it does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; and
  • it does not contain defamatory, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise unlawful material.

By submitting content, you grant the Organizer a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, and distribute your submission for the purpose of running and promoting the Promotion, for the duration of the Promotion and for a reasonable period thereafter.

The Organizer reserves the right to reject any submission that does not comply with these requirements, without notice.

12. Changes and Cancellation

The Organizer reserves the right to modify, suspend, or cancel any Promotion at any time for good cause, including technical failures, fraud, or circumstances beyond its control. Where possible, notice will be posted on the Promotion page. Participants have no claim against the Organizer arising from such modification or cancellation, except where caused by the Organizer's willful misconduct.

13. Complaints and Disputes

13.1. If you have a complaint or dispute regarding the conduct of a Promotion, please contact us in the first instance by email to the email support address set out in Section 18 with the subject line "PROMOTION DISPUTE – 2026 BitLife Film Festival Awards – BitLife". We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 business days and aim to resolve it within 30 days.

14. Limitation of Liability

14.1 General

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Organizer is not liable for:

  • technical malfunctions, interruptions, or failures affecting entry or the Promotion;
  • lost, delayed, or misdirected entries;
  • loss or damage to prizes in transit; or
  • any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from participation in a Promotion.

14.2 UK and CAN Participants

The Organizer's liability is not limited for damages caused by willful misconduct or gross negligence, or for personal injury or death. For other damages caused by slight negligence, liability is limited to foreseeable, typical damages arising from a breach of a material contractual obligation. Mandatory consumer protection rights under the law of the participant's country of residence remain unaffected.

14.3 US Participants

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE ORGANIZER'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO ANY PARTICIPANT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PRIZE WON (OR $50 WHERE NO PRIZE IS WON). THE ORGANIZER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE LIMITATIONS, SO THEY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL.

Each US participant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Organizer and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from their participation in a Promotion or breach of these Terms.

This Promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with any social media platform, including but not limited to Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook/Instagram), X Corp. (X/Twitter), TikTok Ltd., Google LLC (YouTube), or any other platform. Any questions about this Promotion should be directed to the Organizer, not to any platform. By participating in a Promotion conducted through a social media platform, you agree to comply with that platform's applicable terms of service and community guidelines. The Organizer accepts no liability for any breach by a participant of a platform's terms of service.

16. Official Rules

Section A – For US Participants Only

A.1 Privacy (US – CCPA/CPRA)

Personal data collected from US participants is used solely to administer the Promotion. We do not sell or share participants' personal information. California residents have the right under the CCPA/CPRA to: know what data is collected; request deletion; opt out of sale or sharing of data; and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To exercise these rights, contact: dpo@stillfront.com. Other state privacy laws (including the VCDPA, CPA, and CTDPA) may provide additional rights to residents of those states.

This Promotion is not directed at children under the age set out in Clause 3.1.4. If you are under the set out age, do not enter.

A.2 State-Specific Registration

In US-States where required registrations have not been completed, residents of those states may be excluded from that Promotion; this will be stated in the Promotion-Specific Terms.

A.3 Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver (US)

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to a Promotion or these Terms shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures and JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards, rather than in court.

YOU AND THE ORGANIZER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

The arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, California. Either party may seek emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

A.4 Governing Law (US)

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Section B – For UK Participants Only

B.1 Governing Law (UK)

These Terms, to the extent they apply to UK Participants, are governed by the law of England and Wales. The choice of German law in Section A.2 does not apply to UK Participants.

B.2 Dispute Resolution (UK)

UK Participants may bring a claim before the courts of England and Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, as appropriate to their place of residence. Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory right of a UK Participant to bring a claim before a competent court or authority under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or any other applicable UK law. Section 13 (Complaints and Disputes) applies equally to UK Participants.

B.3 Severability (UK)

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable under UK law, that provision shall be severed to the minimum extent necessary. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect and, where possible, the severed provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects its original intent.

Section C – For Canadian Participants Only

C.1 Skill-Testing Question (Canada)

Before being declared a winner, each selected CAN Participant must correctly answer, unaided and within the time stated in the notification, a mathematical skill-testing question administered by the Organizer. A selected entrant who fails to answer the question correctly forfeits the prize, and an alternate winner will be selected in accordance with Section 8.

C.2 Quebec

This Promotion is not open to residents of the Province of Quebec.

C.3 Privacy (Canada)

Personal information collected from CAN Participants is handled in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation, and is used solely to administer the Promotion. To exercise your rights of access, correction, or withdrawal of consent, contact dpo@stillfront.com.

C.4 Governing Law and Disputes (Canada)

These Terms, to the extent they apply to CAN Participants, are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. CAN Participants may bring a claim before the courts of their province or territory of residence. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer protection right available to a CAN Participant under applicable provincial law. The arbitration agreement and class action waiver in Section A.3 do not apply to CAN Participants. Section 13 (Complaints and Disputes) applies equally to CAN Participants.
