Participants are prohibited from attempting to access, modify, or damage any protected/secured network or other computer systems without authorization. Any individual that engages in illegal activity will be disqualified from participation and may be subject to criminal and/or civil liability.
- During the course of the Event, staff or volunteers may take photos or videos of the Event and its participants. By signing these Terms of Participation I grant to the County of Marin ("County") and its representatives the right to use my (or my minor child's) name, likeness, image, voice, and/or appearance as may be embodied in any recordings taken by or made on behalf of the County. I agree that the County has ownership of and may use such material without restriction and without my prior inspection or approval. Such uses include but are not limited to social media postings, announcements, news releases, websites, and promotional or informational materials in any medium. I acknowledge that I will not receive any compensation for the use of such images, recordings, or likenesses.
- I agree that if any portion of this form is held invalid, the remainder will continue in full legal force and effect.
- During the course of the Event, participants may have the chance to receive door prizes and/or a cash prize for the winning ideas generated during the Event, as determined solely by the Event Panel Judges.
- Door Prizes. Door prizes will be given out to some participants during the course of the Event. Participants must be present in order to receive items being given away as door prizes.
- Cash Prizes. Cash prizes for ideas generated during the Event will be awarded based on the winning ideas created. Decisions about the winning ideas will be made by a panel of judges, and all decisions of the judging panel are final and are not appealable. The prize amounts listed in the event materials, including the event website, are based on then-current pledges of donations, and no prize amounts are guaranteed at any level until final prize awards are given via check (which may occur after the Event). Participants must make a presentation regarding their final idea on the day of the Event to the judging panel in order to qualify to receive one of the prizes for designing app/software.
- Each winner must provide the Company with valid identification and a valid taxpayer identification number or social security number before any prize will be awarded. In order to receive any cash prizes, each qualifying participant must complete additional tax-related paperwork (I.R.S. Form W-9). Participants cannot receive payment without completing this paperwork but are welcome to participate without completing this paperwork if they waive access to a cash prize. Any person winning over $600 in cash prize(s) from the Company will receive an IRS form 1099 at the end of the calendar year and a copy of such form will be filed with the IRS by the County. A recipient of a cash prize may have other tax reporting obligations. The County makes no representation about tax requirements and participants acknowledge their individual responsibility for the determination and payment of any taxes due on prize money.
- Cash prize amounts awarded to a team will be split equally among all team members who are eligible to receive a cash award. Any change from this payment structure must be unanimously agreed upon by all members of the team in advance and provided to County in a writing signed and dated by all team members.
During the course of the Event, teams will collaborate to create ideas, applications, webpages, and/or software. By participating in the Event, you, the participant, agree that any ideas, applications, webpages, and/or software you participate in creating will be jointly and severally owned by each member of your team. This means that each member of your team, regardless of their contribution, will have the full right to use the end product and any ideas created in any way they wish without having to gain additional permission from any other member of the team, including through the creation of derivative works, modification and/or commercialization of the product/idea, or licensing it.
