SELECTION OF AWARDEES

b) 25%: Fun and engaging gameplay;
c) 25%: Creativity using the Lightship ARDK;

review the actual code of Entries from the finalists. The Judges will run the finalists’ Entries submitted and
test them.
All Judges’ decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to this Contest. Each Entrant
acknowledges that other Entrants may have created ideas, concepts or assets contained in their Entry

secondary prize. All eligible Entries that are deemed by Judges as containing full runnable code will be
eligible for an Entry Prize.
In the event a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, the Entry that received the next highest total
score will be chosen as the potential winner. Entrants acknowledge that judging of this kind is by its
nature subjective. Organizer reserves the right not to award all prizes or to choose fewer than the stated
prizes if, in its sole discretion, it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Entries. An
entry may only receive one Prize - for example, a Category Prize winner will not also be eligible to

attempt, then such potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be
selected from among all eligible entrants based on the judging criteria described herein. Each potential
winner of a Grand Prize or Category Prize must sign and return any applicable documents sent by

final and binding.
Organizer informs that all communication with Awardees will be done through his/her email address given
during the registration and submission process via the submission form on the Loak website.

in connection with the selection of any alternate potential Awardee, if any. If an Award is legitimately

running as Organizer intended, including lack of sufficient or high quality Entries, infection by computer
virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes which
corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of the Contest,
Organizer reserves the right at its sole discretion to cancel, terminate, modify, or suspend the Contest and
if terminated, Organizer may elect not to select any potential winners or to determine the potential winners
for the Contest from among all eligible entrants received prior to action taken using the judging criteria
specified above. Organizer further reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who violates these Terms or
tampers with the submission process or any other part of the Contest or Contest Site. Any attempt by an

Organizer reserves the right to seek any and all remedies available from any such entrant to the fullest
extent of the applicable law.
8. NOT AN OFFER OR CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT: Under no circumstances shall a submission
into the Contest, the awarding of a prize, or anything in these Terms be construed as an offer or contract
of employment with either Organizer, Sponsor, or the Contest Entities. Entrants acknowledge that Entries
have been submitted voluntarily and not in confidence or in trust. Entrant acknowledges that no
confidential, fiduciary, agency, or other relationship, or implied-in- fact contract now exists between
entrant and Organizer or the Contest Entities and that no such relationship is established by entrant’s
submission of an Entry under these Terms.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Entrant hereby releases both Organizer and Sponsor from any and all
liability in connection with the prizes or entrant’s participation in the Contest and further acknowledges
that neither Organizer nor Sponsor are responsible for: (a) lost, late, damaged, destroyed, delayed,
stolen, leaked, misdirected, incomplete, or illegible garbled entries, YouTube posts or comments, or
YouTube posts or comments received through impermissible or illegitimate channels, or Entries received
through impermissible or illegitimate channels, all of which will be disqualified; (b) technical failures of any
kind, including but not limited to the malfunctioning of any telephone, computer online systems, computer
equipment, website, server provider, network, hardware, or software; (c) the unavailability or
inaccessibility of any website or service; (d) unauthorized intervention in any part of the entry process or
the Contest; (e) printing, typographical, electronic, or human errors which may occur in the offer or
administration of the Contest or the processing of Entries; or (f) any injuries, damages, or other losses
related to testing or playing the Entries, using Sponsor technology, or as otherwise related to this Contest.
Entrants agree that any and all claims, judgments, and awards shall be limited to actual out of pocket
costs incurred, including costs associated with entering the Contest (but not the development of the Entry)
but in no event attorneys’ fees; and entrants waive all rights to claim any punitive, incidental,
consequential, and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all
rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR INTENTIONAL ACTS SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
