    The Promotion consists of a Contest and a Sweepstakes. As explained in detail below, in the Contest, winners will be determined based on their skill in playing a Game and achieving a personal high score as compared to other contestants who play a Game during the applicable Promotion Period. In the Sweepstakes, winners will be determined via random drawing from among all eligible entries received (by completing a Game and by mail) for a given Promotion Period. By completing a Game and achieving a score, a person will be entered once in both the Contest and the Sweepstakes. You are NOT required to complete a Game to enter the Sweepstakes. But, a Game must be completed to participate in the Contest.

    To enter, visit http://www.LeverageHQ.com (the “Website”) and sign in as follows: (1) If you are an existing TNT.tv registered user, simply sign in with your current member name and password; (2) If you are not an existing TNT member, follow the directions provided to register and create a "team member" user ID and password. (Participants are solely responsible for the security and safekeeping of their passwords.) Registration is free and is subject to the TNT Privacy Policy (see below) and Terms of Use of www.tnt.tv. Limit one (1) registration per person and per email address. A registrant is solely responsible for assuring that his/her registration information is current and Sponsor and Administrator shall have no liability due to failure to contact a potentially winning participant due to incorrect, out-of-date or incomplete registration information. Participants will have the opportunity to complete up to six (6) games (each, a “Game”) over the course of the Entry Period. A new Game will be added to the Website each week during the Entry Period according to the schedule above. Instructions on how to play each Game will be provided on the Website and are made a part of these Official Rules and are incorporated herein by reference.

  • CONTEST ENTRY: To compete for the LEVERAGE Weekly Contest select the Game that is specified for the Promotion Period (Promotion Periods chart above). For each Game played in accordance with the Instructions, you will receive a point total (also referred to as a “score”) after you have completed the Game. The point total reflects the skill of your performance in playing the Game. Your score from each Game you complete will be posted to the Game Leaderboard for that Promotion Period. You may play the Game (and compete in the Contest) as often as you like during the respective Promotion Period. The highest score achieved by you during a Promotion Period will automatically replace all your lower scores on the Leaderboard. Only a person’s highest score for a given Promotion Period will count in the Contest. Only scores recorded during the individual Promotion Period will count towards the Leverage Weekly Contest.
  • LEADERBOARDS: The Game Leaderboards posted on the Website are intended to reflect the point values of the highest-ranked players for each particular Game during an applicable Promotion Period. Contestants whose point totals appear to qualify them for mention on the Leaderboard will appear by username. Reasonable efforts will be made by Sponsor and Administrator to maintain and accurately reflect the highest number of points that contestants have earned as well as their rankings as compared to other contestants during a given Promotion Period. However, Sponsor and its agents (including Administrator) shall not be responsible for technical errors of any kind which may cause inaccurate or incomplete information to be reflected at any given time. Sponsor may update the Leaderboards at time(s) of its sole choosing and Sponsor may correct erroneous listings on Leaderboards at any time in its sole discretion without liability of any kind. Notwithstanding listings on Leaderboards, a contestant is not a potential prize winner in the Contest unless and until he/she is notified personally by Sponsor or its agent to such effect (See “Winner Determination”). Contestants should maintain their own records of their participation in the Contest.

    ALL SCORES ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR/ADMINISTRATOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL RESPECTS AND NOT SUBJECT TO APPEAL. A "SCREEN SHOT" IS NOT PROOF OR EVIDENCE OF ACHIEVING A PARTICULAR SCORE IN THE CONTEST. A CONTESTANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE, EVEN IF THE FINAL SCOREBOARD ON THE WEBSITE SHOULD SO INDICATE, UNLESS AND UNTIL SAID CONTESTANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING SCORE HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY SPONSOR AND ADMINISTRATOR AND SAID CONTESTANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED PERSONALLY BY SPONSOR AND/OR ADMINISTRATOR THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. SPONSOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS.
  • WINNER DETERMINATION: Potential Weekly Contest winners will be selected following each Promotion Period (see chart above). Administrator will verify the accuracy of all eligible contestants' point totals for the Game for that Promotion Period. The contestant with the highest score during the Promotion Period will be deemed the Weekly Contest winner. In the event of a tie during any Weekly Contest/Promotion Period, the winner of the respective prize will be determined by the contestant with the best time. If a contestant has previously won a Weekly Contest prize they will not be eligible to win another even if such contestant has the highest score for that Weekly Contest; such contestant’s score will be disregarded and the applicable prize potentially won by the contestant with the next highest score for that Weekly Contest. Points are usable only by Sponsor and Administrator for internal purposes of ranking of contestants in competing in the Contest as set forth in these Official Rules and contestants have no ownership or property rights in points/scores. All potential winners will be confirmed following each Promotion Period by Administrator whose decisions (along with those of Sponsor) are final and binding on all matters related to the Contest.
  • SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY: Participants will receive one (1) entry for each Game completed in full compliance with the provided instructions and these Official Rules. (The score achieved in completing the Game has no affect on Sweepstakes entry, and one is merely required to complete the Game to receive a Sweepstakes entry.) Multiple entries in excess of the following limitation will not be counted and may result in disqualification of all entries by such person. There is a maximum of six (6) entries in total (i.e., one (1) entry per Promotion Period) by completing Games per person, per email address and per registration. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, for any reason, offer fewer than six (6) Games during the Entry Period. TO ENTER THE SWEEPSTAKES BY MAIL (without completing a Game): On a 3”x5” card, handprint your full name, phone number, email address (if any) and date of birth. Send in an envelope via USPS to The Leverage Weekly Sweepstakes c/o LeadDog Marketing Group, 159 W. 25th St., 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10001. Mail in entries must be postmarked by 2/24/10 and received by 3/3/10. Entries received after 3/3/10 are void. Limit one (1) entry per outer mailing envelope and per mailing address. Limit one (1) mail in entry per Promotion Period (see Promotion Periods chart above) for a total of six (6) mail-in entries.

    Registrations, completed Games, entries generated by script, macro or other automated or mechanical means, or by other means that subvert or intend to subvert the registration/entry/Game play process (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) are void and may result in disqualification. Any attempt to cheat in or during the contest will result in disqualification. All registrations/entries become the property of Sponsor and acknowledgement of receipt of entry does not constitute representation of eligibility of entry for drawing or contest.
  • WEEKLY SWEEPSTAKES RANDOM DRAWING: Potential Weekly Prize winners will be randomly selected following each Promotion Period (as described in the Promotion Periods chart above) from among all eligible entries received for each Promotion Period. To be eligible for any Promotion Period the entry must be received and recorded by the Administrator’s computer by the End Date of that Promotion Period. All non-winning entries for any Promotion Period will not be carried forward to subsequent Promotion Periods. Drawings will be conducted by Sponsor and Administrator, whose decisions are final and binding on all matters related to the Promotion.
  • PRIZES, ARV AND ODDS (FOR SWEEPSTAKES):
    • WEEKLY CONTEST PRIZE: (6 winners total; 1 winner per Promotion Period): One (1) “Leverage Prize Pack”.

      Odds of winning a Weekly Sweepstakes Prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received for a given Weekly Promotion Period.

      Limit one (1) prize in Promotion per person/email address/mailing address/household/registration.

      Sponsor reserves the right to substitute for any reason whatsoever a prize (or portion thereof) of comparable or greater value, in its sole discretion. Prizes are awarded “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied by Sponsor. No substitution or transfer of prize by potential winners except with Sponsor’s written permission or where required by law. Prizes are not redeemable for cash. If, after a good faith effort (such effort being determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion), an eligible participant cannot be confirmed as a winner, such prize may not be awarded, in Sponsor’s sole discretion; and, Sponsor shall have no liability in conjunction therewith.
  • GENERAL PRIZE CONDITIONS: Potential winners will be notified by e-mail, phone and/or mail, or in such other manner as determined by Sponsor. If notification is by email, failure to respond to the initial verification e-mail within one (1) U.S. business day after notification or return of e-mail notification as undeliverable after one (1) attempt will result in disqualification without compensation of any kind. Each prize winner shall be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize and will receive a 1099 tax form reflecting fair market value of the prize awarded. The potential winners will be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, tax acknowledgment form, and (where legal) a Publicity Release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”). If a winner is not of the legal age of majority in his or her state of residence (a “minor”), at Sponsor’s sole option, applicable prize either will be awarded in the name of parent or legal guardian of winner, or parent or legal guardian of winner will be required to ratify and sign Prize Claim Documents (on behalf of minor winner). If a winner (or such winner's parent or legal guardian) fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents within two (2) days of prize notification, the winner may be disqualified and the prize may be awarded to an alternate winner; for the Contest, the alternate winner will be the contestant with next highest score during the applicable Promotion Period and, for the Sweepstakes, the alternate winner will be drawn from the remaining eligible entries received for the applicable Promotion Period.
  • LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY: Sponsor, Administrator, and each of their agencies are not responsible for failed, partial or garbled computer transmissions, or for technical failures of any kind, including but not limited to electronic malfunction or damage of any network, hardware or software. If for any reason the Promotion (in whole or in part, including any Game) is not capable of running as planned, including infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, acts of God, terrorism or threats thereof, fraud or technical failures beyond Sponsor's control that corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Promotion, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Promotion (in whole or in part) and/or disqualify any individual who tampers with (or attempts to tamper with) the entry process/Game play process/operation of the Promotion (or any part thereof). In such event, Sponsor shall conduct the Promotion and make prizes available for the affected part of the Promotion in a manner that is fair, appropriate and consistent with the spirit of these Official Rules, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Notice of cancellation/termination/modification/suspension of Promotion will be posted on the Website for at least fourteen (14) days.
