Each entrant warrants to the Promoter that the Creation submitted by such entrant is an original work of the entrant which does not infringe any rights of any third party. A breach of the warranty set out in this condition will result in the entrant's Creation being invalid and entrant's potential disqualification from the Competition. In addition, each entrant hereby indemnifies the Promoter and Administrator against all loss, damages and costs incurred by a Promoter or the Administrator arising from that entrant's breach of the warranty set forth in this condition.


2. Prize Draw: For each eligible Creation you submit during the Submission Phase (see Rule 4 for specific dates), you will receive one (1) entry into the draw for the applicable Monthly Entry Period. Non-winning entries will carry over into subsequent Entry Periods. Limit: Ten (10) entries per entrant during the Submission Phase.

For Competition, Prize Draw and Public Voting (See Rule 6(a)(ii), below): Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address.

6. Winner Determination:

1. Competition: Competition winners will be selected according to the process set forth below:
   
   
   1. Judging Phase I: During Judging Phase I (see Rule 4 for specific dates), a panel of two (2) qualified judges one (1) from Sponsor and one (1) from Administrator (the "Judges"), whose decisions as to the administration of this Competition and the selection of the Semi-Finalists are final and binding in all matters, will select from amongst all eligible Creations received during the Submission Phase one hundred (100) semi-finalist Creations ("Semi-Finalists"). The Judges will evaluate the Semi-Finalists based on their Creations using the following criteria (the "Judging Criteria"):
      
      
      • 33% creativity;
      • 33% quality; and
      • 34% relevance to Competition theme of how you make your mark and Write Out Loud® (see Section 5(a)).
      
      In the event of tie, the entrant whose Creation the Judges determine to demonstrate the highest quality will be deemed the Semi-Finalist.
      
      
   2. Voting Phase: During the Voting Phase (see Rule 4 for specific dates), the Semi-Finalists will be posted at http://sharpie.co.uk. Each individual who meets the eligibility requirements set forth in Rule 1 will be invited to vote for the Semi-Finalist that he/she believes is best. Limit: Each participant may vote one (1) time per day during the Voting Phase. The three (3) Semi-Finalists who receive the highest number of votes will be finalists ("Finalists"). In case of a tie, Promoter, in its sole discretion, will select the Finalist from the tied Semi-Finalists based on an application of the Judging Criteria set forth in Rule 6(a)(i), above.
   
   
   
   3. Judging Phase II: During the Judging Phase II (see Rule 4 for specific dates), David Beckham, whose decisions as to the administration of this Competition and the selection of each potential Grand Prize winner are final and binding in all matters, will select from the Finalists, the potential Grand, First and Second Prize winner using the Judging Criteria outlined in Rule 6(a)(i) above. The Finalist who receives the highest score will be a potential Grand Prize winner; the Finalist in who receives the second highest score will be a potential First Prize winner, and the Finalist who receives the third highest score will be a potential Second Prize winner. In the event of tie between two (2) or more Finalists, the Finalist the Judges determine to demonstrate the highest quality will be deemed the winner from amongst the tied Finalists. Potential winners will be notified on or around 21 September 2009.



2. Prize Draw: Administrator is an independent judging organisation whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Prize Draw and the selection of the potential Prize Draw winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Prize Draw. Administrator will randomly select the potential Prize Draw winners, from all eligible entries received during the May Monthly Entry Period on or around 15 June 2009, during the June Monthly Entry Period on or around 13 July 2009 and for the July Monthly Entry Period on or around 17 August 2009. Non-winning entries will carry over into drawings for subsequent Monthly Entry Periods. Potential Prize Draw winners will be notified the week following the respective drawing date.

7. Winner Requirements: Potential winners will be notified by email, mail or phone on or around the dates set forth in Rule 6. The potential Grand Prize winner (parent/legal guardian if a minor) will be required to sign and return to Administrator a confirmation of eligibility form, and liability/publicity release (except where prohibited) (the "Confirmation"), where permitted, within five (5) calendar days of notification. If any potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, or fails to sign and return the Confirmation within the required time period (if applicable), he/she forfeits the applicable prize and his/her Creation(s) will be disqualified for further consideration. Failure to comply with these requirements and or the Official Rules for any reason, return of prize notification or prize as un-deliverable or disqualification of any winner for any reason will result in forfeiture of applicable prize. If a potential winner of any Competition Prize forfeits a prize or is disqualified for any reason, the Judges will select the Finalist whose Creation received the next highest score, and/or the Semi-Finalist whose Creation received the next highest number of votes during the Voting Phase as an alternate potential winner. If a potential Prize Draw winner forfeits a prize or is disqualified for any reason, Administrator will select from all eligible entries received during all Monthly Entry Periods an alternate potential winner. This course of action may continue until the particular prize is won and claimed, or for up to three (3) alternates (after which the applicable prize will remain un-awarded), whichever occurs first (if time permits). Acceptance of any prize shall constitute and signify the winner's agreement and consent to Promoter use of the winner's name, city, state, province, country, likeness, photo, Creation and/or prize information in connection with the Promotion or with respect to Promoter's brand, products, ad campaigns, worldwide, including the Internet, without limitation and without further payment or consideration, except where prohibited by law.
