Content Restrictions: When uploaded, your Content will be shared at
www.Persol.com and will be subject to moderation by Sponsor. Content may not be offensive, insulting, defamatory, slanderous,
pornographic, vulgar, obscene, pornographic or blasphemous, may not in any way violate principles of public order and morality or

industrial property rights or other third-party rights; must not include Content protected under copyright without express
authorization from the third parties. Entrant must have permission from all individuals that appear in the shared or uploaded
Content (if any) to use their name and likeness in the Submission and to grant the rights set forth herein. If requested, entrant

your Content will not be posted and you will not receive an entry into the Contest.
Entry Limit: You may only receive one (1) entry during the Contest Period,

Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than one (1) entry by using multiple/different email addresses, identities,
registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any

media or technology now known or later developed, including for promotional or marketing purposes. If requested, entrant will
sign any documentation that may be required for Sponsor or its designees to make use of the non-exclusive rights entrant is
granting to use the Content.
In Sponsor’s sole opinion, Submissions which do not meet any of these requirements and/or which Sponsor deems negative, offensive
