4. HOW DO I ENTER THE CONTEST?
No purchase is necessary to enter the Contest. Enter using the method of entry outlined below. No entries will be accepted by any other means.
To enter the Contest: (i) listen to the Station at approximately 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. each weekday (Monday-Friday only, excluding statutory holidays) during the Entry Period for a cue to text, and (ii) within two (2) minutes of any such cue to text (the “Entry Window”), send the Station a message that starts with the provided keyword to 123-321. Such message may be sent via a cellular telephone that is capable of two-way messaging. Your carrier’s standard text message or short code message and data rates may apply. By sending a message to the Station in accordance with these Official Rules, you agree to being put on-air by the Station.
Following the close of each Entry Window, the Station will conduct a random draw in Toronto, Ontario from among all eligible messages received during such Entry Window (the “Eligible Messages”), to select one (1) entrant to be deemed a qualifier/potential prize winner. Non-selected messages will not carry forward to any other draw. The Station will contact such selected entrant using the information provided in the message they sent; however, in the event the Station is unable to make contact with a selected entrant for any reason within 3 days, the Station may disqualify such selected entrant and randomly select an alternate entrant from among remaining eligible messages received during the applicable Entry Window until the Station successfully makes contact with an eligible qualifier/potential prize winner.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event of any technical issues relating to the Station’s messaging platform (as determined by Rogers), a cue to text may be altered to a cue to call, such that the Station would prompt its listeners to call the Station and the 7th eligible caller to reach the Station following any such cue to call would be deemed a qualifier/potential prize winner. In the event of a cue to call, the following additional terms and conditions apply:
If the telephone line is dead when answered, or no audible response is heard, or no one responds after five seconds, the Station will answer the next call in sequence and the next call in sequence will replace that call, and so on and so forth. In the event a call is cut off before all personal data is collected, the Station will use reasonable efforts to make contact with the cut-off caller, provided enough personal information was gathered in order to correctly identify the cut-off caller. In the event two or more calls come through on the same line, all such callers will be advised to hang up and try again, and the next call in sequence will replace that call. In the event the Station answers a call and identifies the caller as an individual already qualified in this Contest or ineligible to participate in this Contest, the Station will answer the next call in sequence and the next call in sequence will replace that call, and so on and so forth. The Station’s online stream may be a delayed stream of the Station’s radio signal and may vary depending on your computer’s memory capacity and the speed of your Internet connection. For that reason, it is recommended that listeners listen to the Station in “real time” by turning on an actual radio.
5. WHAT IS THE GAME AND HOW DO I PLAY?
Once a finalist is confirmed, the finalist will have the opportunity to play the on-air KiSS 105.3 $5,000 Secret Sound (the “Game”). The Station will play the audio for the confirmed finalist. The finalist will be given the opportunity to identify the sound. If the sound is correctly identified, the contestant will win the current cash amount available in the jackpot. Cash jackpots will start at $500 and will increase by $50 each contest occasion when the sound is incorrectly guessed, totaling $5,000. Each contestant deemed a “winner” will be part of the overall $5,000 winnings.
