Winner Determination: Winners

a.
Judging
Phase: During the Judging Phase, a panel of qualified judges determined by
Sponsor in its sole discretion will select [10] entrants with the
highest-scoring Entries (the “Top Entry” or “Top Entries”) based on the following
criteria (“Judging Criteria”): 25% “Originality”, 30% “Creativity” and 45% “Quality”.
b.
In
the event of a tie, the entrant whose Entry received the highest score for “Quality”,
as determined by the qualified judges, in their sole discretion, will be deemed
the potential Grand Prize winner. Sponsor
reserves the right to select fewer than 10 Top Entries if, in its sole discretion,
it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible
and qualified Entries.
6.
Notification: The potential winners will be notified by email
on or about Sept 6th, 2019. Except where prohibited, each potential
winner will be required to sign and return a Winner Declaration & Consent,
which must be received by Sponsor, 10 days of the date notice or attempted notice
is sent, in order to claim his/her prize.
If any potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and/or return the Winner Declaration & Consent
within the required time period, refuses the prize, is ineligible to win the
prize, or prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon
compliance with these Official Rules; all prizes claimed in accordance with
these Official Rules will be awarded. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified or the prize is forfeited for any reason,
Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner using the
skill-based criteria set forth above from among all remaining eligible
Entries. Only three (3) alternative
winners will be selected, after which Sponsor retains the discretion to donate
the applicable prize to a charity of Sponsor’s choosing.

8.
General Terms:
a.
By
participating in this Contest, each participant agrees:
(1) To the extent allowable under applicable law and, in Australia, subject to
and without excluding, restricting or modifying any rights or remedies to which
the participant may be entitled as a consumer under the consumer guarantee
provisions of the Australian Consumer Law in relation to the operation of the
Contest and any prize won, to release and hold harmless Sponsor and its agents
from any and all liability or any injury, loss, damage, right, claim or
action of any kind arising from or in connection with this Contest or any
Contest-related activity or the receipt, possession, use or misuse of any prize
won, except for residents of the United Kingdom and France with respect to
claims resulting from death or personal injury arising from EA’s negligence and
for residents of the United Kingdom with respect to claims resulting from the
tort of deceit or any other liabilities that may not be excluded by law;
For Residents of Austria, Germany, Poland, Switzerland: By participating
in this Contest, each participant acknowledges: (1) In regard to the Prize and
any other products or services given by Sponsor and its affiliates free of
charge, the Sponsor shall only be liable for intent and gross negligence. (2)
In all other cases, the Sponsor shall only be liable to cases of intent and
gross negligence. In case of slight negligence, however, the Sponsor is only
liable for the breach of essential contractual obligations, such as delay or
impossibility of performance, which the Sponsor can be made responsible for.
The liability in the event of breach of such an essential contractual obligation
is limited to the typical contractual damage, whose occurrence could be
expected by the Sponsor upon conclusion of the contract on account of the
circumstances known at that time. “Essential contractual obligations” as
previously stated are those obligations whose fulfillment is essential to
enable the proper implementation of the contract and the achievement of its
purpose and whose observation you as an end consumer may rely upon. The
foregoing limitations of liability shall not apply in the case of explicit guarantees
by the Sponsor, in case of malice and injuries to life, body or health as well
as in the case of mandatory statutory regulations.
(2) That EA’s decisions will be final and binding on all matters related to
this Contest;
(3) That by accepting a prize, EA may use your name and place of residence
online or in any other media, in connection with this Contest, without payment
or compensation to the winner or anyone else, except where prohibited ; and
(4) The Contest is governed by the laws of the United States and all claims
must be resolved in the United States.
For Residents of Australia, the
Contest is governed by the laws of the United States provided that the entrant
will not be deprived of his or her statutory rights and legal protection as a
consumer granted by the laws of Australia. Court of jurisdiction shall be
entrant’s country of residence.
For Residents of Austria, Germany,
Poland, Switzerland, notwithstanding, nothing in these Official Rules shall
have the effect to deprive you of the consumer protection rights granted to you
by the laws of your residence that cannot be derogated from by agreement.
b.
EA
reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Contest, or any part of
it, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor impairs the integrity
or proper functioning of the Contest, as determined by Sponsor in its sole
discretion. If
terminated, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, determine the winners from
among all non-suspect, eligible entries received up to time of such action
using the judging procedure outlined above. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, reserves the
right to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry
process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these
Official Rules or those of any other Contest or in an unsportsmanlike or
disruptive manner and void all associated entries. Any attempt by any person to deliberately
undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of
criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves
the right to seek damages and other remedies (including
attorneys’ fees) from any such person to the fullest
extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s
failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a
waiver of that provision.
c.
Winners
are responsible for any applicable taxes on prizes.
9.
Winner(s) List: Winner List requests will only be accepted after the end the Promotion
Period (listed above) and no later than October 24th, 2019. If you send an e-mail to battlefieldsocial@ea.com
on or before October 18th 2019 we will provide you with a list of confirmed winners.
[1] Cash may be the easiest prize to deliver but it is not
lawful as a prize in all countries. For
example, Brazil, Hong Kong, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, and Turkey
prohibit or severely restrict cash as a prize. A gift card to one particular store or site
may be permissible, but a card that can be used like cash would not be
allowed. Also, note that some jurisdictions,
such as New Zealand and the United States, restrict the use of certain types of
goods as prizes. Video games or merchandise
related to video games are not likely to be problems as long as age
restrictions are observed based on ratings. In some jurisdictions, such as China, travel
prizes may be difficult to administer due to restrictions on travel. Also, in some jurisdictions, such as China,
there are limits on the prize value for individual prizes.
