or arising under these Terms of Service, the modeling competition, our Privacy Policy, any transaction
made through this Website, our products and services, cookie policy, advertising, sharing of data or the
Website in general shall be resolved through final, binding arbitration. This arbitration obligation
applies regardless of whether the claim or dispute involves a breach of contract, tort, fraud,
misrepresentation, product liability, negligence, violation of a statute, or any other legal theory.
Both you and we specifically acknowledge and agree to waive your right to bring a lawsuit based on such
claim(s) or dispute(s) and your right to have such lawsuit resolved by a judge or a jury.
This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.). Any arbitration will be commenced and administered by JAMS under the rules of JAMS, including JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/. Provided JAMS' criteria are met by the nature of the dispute, the arbitration shall be conducted under JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Each party will pay the fees for his/her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. However, if you are unable to pay JAMS' costs, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. If JAMS is unavailable, unwilling, or otherwise unable to administer an arbitration in accordance with these official rules, then another administrator that will do so will be selected by agreement of the parties.
The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon both you and us. Additionally, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, except that this sentence shall not apply to the Class Action Waiver provisions described below. The arbitrator will render a decision in writing. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter judgment upon the arbitrator's decision/award. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.

dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to an alleged violation of a party's
intellectual property rights, including but not limited to claims of patent, copyright, trademark, or
trade secret infringement. This category of claims and disputes shall be resolved through litigation in
a court of competent jurisdiction, rather than through arbitration; (2) individual claims brought in
small claims court; (3) any claim that an applicable federal statute expressly states cannot be
arbitrated; and (4) any claim for injunctive relief.
You agree that any dispute, claim or lawsuit, regardless of form, that may arise out of or related to
these Terms or your use of the SITE, must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR of the action, omission, event or
occurrence giving rise to the dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit. After the expiration of the one-year period,
such dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit will be time-barred and prohibited, without regard to any longer
period of time which may be provided by any period of limitation or pursuant to law or statute.
You have the right to opt out of the arbitration requirement by sending written notice of your decision
to opt out to the following e-mail address:
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by video conference technology such as zoom, or based
on written submissions. Otherwise, the location of the arbitration proceeding shall take place in the
city or state where you reside, unless each party agrees otherwise, or at another mutually agreed upon
location.
If for any reason, any portion of these Terms, including this arbitration section, is found to be
illegal, void or unenforceable, that portion will be severed, and it shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of the remainder of these Terms which shall continue in full force and effect.
You agree that all matters relating to any claim or dispute, all matters relating to or arising under
these Terms of Service, the modeling competition, our Privacy Policy, any transaction made through this
Website, our products and services, cookie policy, advertising, sharing of data or the Website in general
will be governed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of New York without regard
to conflict of law provisions. You also agree that any dispute that is not subject to arbitration or
eligible for small claims actions shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction
located in Supreme Court, State of New York, County of New York or the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York and that you waive all objections to such jurisdiction and venue.
We may investigate any reported violation of these Terms of Service and take any action that we deem
appropriate. Such action may include, but is not limited to, issuing warnings, removing posted content
and/or reporting any activity that we suspect violates any law or regulation to appropriate law
enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties.

You may see advertisements for our products/services on other websites and mobile applications because
we work with outside advertisers to engage in remarketing and retargeting activities. This may
constitute the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information under certain privacy laws that may
apply to you. Through our relationships with these advertisers, we can target messaging to our users by
interest-based, demographic, contextual, and other means. These third party advertisers, which are
independent controllers, track your online activities over time and across websites and mobile
applications by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of third-party
cookies, web server logs, and web beacons.
They use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information our advertising partners may collect includes data about your visits to other websites and mobile applications that participate in the relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on our Website and on third-party websites and mobile applications that participate in the advertising networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
Some third-party advertising companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offer a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies (www.networkadvertising.org).
For Canadian residents, any profiling and tracking functions are deactivated by default. As a general principle, we apply a privacy-by-default approach, meaning that the highest privacy settings are enabled by default when you create an account or access our services. You may choose to adjust these settings at any time. You may choose to activate these features. If you provide your express consent, our third-party advertising partners may track your activities across different websites. Please note that even if you do not consent to profiling, you may still see non-personalized advertisements on our site.

In accordance with applicable laws,
This document outlines the terms for all four (4) types of promotions conducted by the sponsor: Sweepstakes, Contests, Competitions, and Tournaments.
Each promotion has its own promotion specification which details how to enter the promotion, eligibility requirements, start and end date, and other details applicable to that specific promotion. Promotion specifications shall be posted in the applicable section of this document.
To enter a promotion, an individual must meet all of the eligibility criteria included in the promotion specification including:
We may ask the participant to create requested content if it is needed for the voting, judging, or prize process.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, all sponsor recorded content becomes the property of the
Sponsor, and the participant irrevocably grants and assign to the sponsor all worldwide right, title,
and interest in this content and all works derived from it.
To the extent permitted by law, by entering or accepting a prize, the participant agrees to the following terms regarding their identity and content:
By submitting or contributing to promotional content the participant agrees to confirm these terms in
writing if requested.
To the extent permitted by law, by entering or accepting a prize, the participant agrees to the following terms regarding their identity and content:
By submitting or contributing to promotion content, the participant and their estate (heirs and
executors) acknowledge and agree to the following terms regarding how the content is handled:
Grant of License
By submitting promotion content to sponsor in connection with a promotion, participants hereby grant to sponsor, and any and all of Sponsor's affiliates, successors, assignees, and/or licensees, the non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, publicly perform, stream, modify, display and disseminate the Promotion Content, including any applicable videos or still images image, in perpetuity. For clarity, Sponsor may change or modify the Promotion Content as they see fit.
The following terms apply to Sponsor's use of Promotion Content:
Grant of License
By submitting promotion content to sponsor in connection with a promotion, participants hereby grant to sponsor, and any and all of Sponsor's affiliates, successors, assignees, and/or licensees, the non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, publicly perform, stream, modify, display and disseminate the Promotion Content, including any applicable videos or still images image, in perpetuity. For clarity, Sponsor may change or modify the Promotion Content as they see fit.
The following terms apply to Sponsor's use of Promotion Content:
All submitted user content and requested content must meet the following requirements:
The sponsor and administrator will moderate all user content submitted to the site. We will disqualify
any Entrant or user content that we deem inappropriate or violates these terms.
Moderation is typically fast, but due to technical reasons there may be delays in moderation time.
Competitors should not change their primary tournament image or video near the round end time; if
the newly submitted content is not moderated by the end of the round then they may automatically
lose.
To appeal a rejected submission, contact our support team through the site's live chat.
Each round of the tournament may have prizes for competitors depending on their rank in the round as specified by the tournament specifications.
To enter a tournament, an entrant must make an account on the website specified in the tournament
specifications and complete all required fields in the tournament entry form.
Competitors in tournaments will have a public profile as a feature of their user account; entrants can add media and text to their public profile to enhance it.
Judges and voters pay a lot of attention to the competitor's public profile. It is important to upload
high quality assets and complete all of the components to be competitive.
Competitors in tournaments can also track their tournament progression via the website by logging in
with their account.
Competitors can log into their account at
Each tournament entry requires entry materials to be submitted by the competitor for that particular tournament. Typically this includes at least one photo or video. Photos and videos require moderation approval before a tournament entrant can win a round. Photos and videos are reviewed pursuant to the requirements set forth herein. Without an approved photo or video for that tournament, the competitor's score will be 0 in all rounds.
Tournament competitors should not change the photo or video for a tournament in the final moments of
any round as it may not get approved in time resulting in the competitor losing the round.
All of the user materials submitted by competitors to the website are part of the competitor's entry in
the tournaments and will be considered as part of judging processes.
There are two types of Rounds: Voting Rounds and Judging Rounds. The rankings of competitors in voting
rounds are determined by Voters, and the rankings of entrants in judging rounds are determined by expert
judges.
Competitors in tournaments will have a public profile as a feature of their user account; entrants can add media and text to their public profile to enhance it.

Each tournament entry requires entry materials to be submitted by the competitor for that particular tournament. Typically this includes at least one photo or video. Photos and videos require moderation approval before a tournament entrant can win a round. Photos and videos are reviewed pursuant to the requirements set forth herein. Without an approved photo or video for that tournament, the competitor's score will be 0 in all rounds.
To ensure a fair competition, the competition administrator reviews all votes to determine which are legitimate and which are Cheated Votes.
Everyday each Voter can cast one Daily Vote for each competitor.
Dedicated fans are more valuable than sporadic bursts from one-time voters. Many competitions
encourage this through double votes for returning voters. For example, a dedicated fan who
supports a contestant across three tournaments could generate over 50 votes per week across the
tournaments by voting daily.
The daily vote reset time is midnight eastern standard time.
Votes cannot be purchased. Scammers may message contestants via social media offering to
sell votes, they may even try to show the contestant that the votes are being counted as
non-cheated votes by sending several before purchase. However, these scammers often take the money
and run, and when they do create votes they always get caught easily because they use bots.
Sometimes they lie and say their votes are legitimate from armies of voters or from marketing
campaigns - the purchased votes are never legitimate. Purchasing votes is against the terms of all
promotions and will result in disqualification.
Contestants are strictly prohibited from offering compensation, in any form whatsoever including monetary or otherwise, in exchange for votes. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any Contestant determined to be soliciting votes through an offer of compensation. Contestants, however, may request votes from friends, blog communities, social media groups, or similar communication mechanisms, provided that Contestants do not offer or provide any compensation, monetary or otherwise, as part of the request. If it is discovered that attempts were made by any individual to use (or attempt to use) any automated, script,

If it is discovered that attempts were made by any individual to use (or attempt to use) any automated, script,
Entrants can earn additional votes from a Voter when they acquire specific media featuring the
competitor. The Sponsor chooses how many Media Votes are earned for each piece of Voter acquired
media at any time, and this number is displayed on the Website and applicable promotion
specifications.
Each Voting Competition defines the types of media featuring a competitor that qualify for Media Votes. Voters may obtain such media by completing activities, using earned credits, or making purchases, as determined by the sponsor.
Declined transactions or refunds of such media will result in forfeiture of associated Media Votes.
Chargebacks and unauthorized transactions will result in Media Votes being classified as Cheated Votes, and may result in Voters or competitors being disqualified. See Cheating.
Media Votes cast for a competitor using the competitor's own financial means (including accounts,
credits, payment methods, or money) by any party will be determined to be Cheated Votes.
If applicable law limits or forbids the acquisition of certain media, those acquisitions will not be
permitted, and Media Votes resulting from them are invalid.

If Award votes are won from a previous round in a competition they will apply to the next Voting Round in the same competition, even if the next Round doesn't start immediately. Otherwise, if an Entrant earns Award votes for a competition when they are not in an Active Voting Round for that competition those Award votes are forfeited.
All Entrants receiving Award votes from the same activity will receive the same number of Award votes. Entrants will be told how many Award Votes they receive at the time the votes are awarded.
Since Award Votes may be earned from activities involving Public Votes, they are also subject to verification. The competition Administrator in its sole discretion may decide specific Award Votes are Cheated Votes if they are earned by illicit behavior such as the accumulation of Cheated Votes.
So that there is time to complete verification Award Votes may be counted within a Round after they are earned but before the Round End Time.
There are two ways this can happen: by crossing a Winner qualification threshold or a Runner-Up qualification threshold.
Automatic winner qualification applies immediately during the round, and automatic runner up qualification applies when the round ends.
How it works: The moment a competitor acquires more public votes than the specified Winner Qualification Threshold, they are immediately classified as a Winner and removed from the current group to advance to the next round.
Pre-qualified Candidates: If a competitor enters a group with a public vote count already higher than the Winner Threshold, they will not compete in that group at all. They are automatically declared a winner and assigned to the next round immediately.
How it works: This is calculated at the end of the round. If a competitor is set to be classified as a "Loser" based on ranking, but they have secured more public votes than the Runner-up Qualification Threshold, their status is changed to Runner-Up.
Expanding the Pool: Since this relies on vote counts rather than ranking spots, this mechanic may result in a higher number of total Runners-Up than originally planned for the round.
The competition administrator in its sole discretion may Disqualify an Entrant from any Competitions or Disqualify any individual Round Results to address Cheated Votes and keep the competition Fair.
Vote counts may not be displayed in real time, as determined in Sponsor's sole discretion, in order to prevent cheaters from learning which methods of cheating are effective.
Examples of sources of Cheated Votes:
Competitors can unpause their participation in a tournament via the website by navigating to the competitions page on the competitor dashboard and clicking the unpause button for that tournament.
Judges will score each competitor in the round with a score between 0 and 100 for each criteria, and the winner with the highest total score will be the winner. In the event of a tie, Judges will rescore tieing competitors.
Judging rounds will often feature an activity from participants which will be part of the judging process. Judges will evaluate the totality of the competitors entry and these activities. These activities may include any of the following:
Competitors will either advance to another round, repeat the current round, or be eliminated from the tournament based on the tournament specification and whether they completed that round as a winner, runnerup, or loser.
Retrying the round is subject to the round having another cohort that the contestant can move into.
Advancing to any other round in the same tournament resets the attempt count for the previous round.
When an extra life is used to repeat a round it does not count toward the maximum attempts.
Extra Lives are only automatically used under the following conditions:
Sweepstakes may have multiple methods of entry as defined by their sweepstakes specification. Entrants the specified number of entries each time they complete any of the listed entry methods.
The entry methods are as follows:
For further details on any applicable Sweepstakes, see the applicable Sweepstakes Specifications.
If an entrant deletes a photo that was featured in a digital magazine, it will be immediately removed from the digital issues it was in.
We strive to delete accounts and content immediately upon request. However, please be aware that due to technical reasons (such as system backups or internet caching), removed content may remain visible for a short period before completely disappearing from all views.

Technical & Delivery Failures
Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of participating in a Promotion, each Participant agrees
as follows:
Binding Arbitration Agreement
Except as otherwise stated below, any and all legal issue, claim or dispute arising out of or connected or related in any way to a Promotion, including but not limited to Prize awarded, shall be resolved through final, binding arbitration. Participant specifically agrees that, except as otherwise provided herein, entry into a Promotion waives all rights to bring a lawsuit based on such claim(s) or dispute(s) and the right to have such lawsuit resolved by a judge or a jury.
This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.). Any arbitration will be commenced and administered by JAMS under the rules of JAMS, including JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. If JAMS' criteria are met by the nature of the dispute, the Participant agrees that the arbitration shall be conducted under JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court of appropriate jurisdiction.
Each party will pay the fees for his/her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. However, if Participant is unable to pay JAMS' costs, Sponsor will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. If JAMS is unavailable, unwilling, or otherwise unable to administer an arbitration in accordance with these rules, then another arbitration administrator will do, to be selected by agreement of the parties.
Neither Participant nor Sponsor shall be permitted to obtain awards, and all parties hereby waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, or any other damages, including attorneys' fees, other than Participant's actual out-of-pocket expenses (i.e., costs associated with participating in this Promotion). The parties further waive all rights to have damages multiplied or increased.
The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon both Participants and the Sponsor. Additionally, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, except that this sentence shall not apply to the Class Action Waiver provisions described below. The arbitrator will render a decision in writing. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter judgment upon the arbitrator's decision/award. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of the Participant's relationship with us.
Excluded Disputes
Notwithstanding the binding arbitration requirement set forth in this section, Participant may bring qualifying claims in small claims court so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual, non-class, non-representative basis.
Class Action Waiver
To fullest extent permitted by applicable law, participants and the sponsor agree to bring any claim
or dispute, whether in arbitration, or court as permitted by these terms, on an individual basis only,
and not as a class action or collective action.
There shall be no right or authority for any claim or dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a
class or collective action ("Class Action Waiver"). The arbitration will decide the rights and
liabilities, if any, of the Participants and the Sponsor. The arbitration proceeding will not be
consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator may award
any remedy to which a party is entitled under applicable law, but remedies shall be limited to those
that would be available to a party in their individual capacity. Regardless of anything else in this
Arbitration Agreement and/or the applicable JAMS rules, the interpretation, applicability,
enforceability or formation of the Class Action Waiver may only be determined by a court and not an
arbitrator. This Class-Action Waiver will survive the termination of the Participant's relationship with
us.
Waiver of Jury Trial
Both participant and sponsor hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and
have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, except as provided herein.
We are instead mutually electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by
arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified herein. An arbitrator can award on an
individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would.
However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject
to very limited review.
One-Year Time Limit to Raise Disputes or Claims
One-Year Time Limit to Raise Disputes or Claims. Participants agree that any dispute, claim or lawsuit, regardless of form, that may arise out of or related to the Promotion, must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR of the action, omission, event or occurrence giving rise to the dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit. After the expiration of the one-year period, such dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit will be time-barred and prohibited, without regard to any longer period of time which may be provided by any period of limitation or pursuant to law or statute.
Location of Arbitration
Participant may choose to have the arbitration conducted by video conference technology such as zoom, or based on written submissions. Otherwise, the location of the arbitration proceeding shall take place in the city or state where Participant resides, unless each party to the arbitration agrees otherwise, or at another mutually agreed upon location.
