If requested, Participant will sign any documentation required for Administrator, Sponsor or their designees, successors, assignees and licensees to make use of the non-exclusive rights Participant is granting to use the Entry. Released Parties (as defined below) are not responsible for lost, late, stolen, incomplete, inaccurate, invalid, un-intelligible, garbled, delayed or misdirected submissions, all of which will be void.

Any Entries that do not comply with the above Guidelines will not be eligible to win a prize. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any Entry, the Authorized Account Holder of the email address used to register for Participant’s Hackster account will be deemed to be the Participant. The “Authorized Account Holder” is the natural person assigned the email address used to register for the Hackster account, as that is determined by the Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. The potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. Any attempt by a Participant to obtain more than one entry by using multiple/different identities, email addresses, and/or any other methods will void that Participant’s Entry and may be disqualified. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, illegible or misdirected Entries, which may be disqualified, or for any error, human, technical or otherwise.


Administrator and Sponsor reserve the right in their sole discretion to disqualify any individual they find to be tampering with the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules and Terms.


5. Winner Selection: Administrator will randomly select three (3) potential winners, per Drawing Entry Period, from all eligible Entries received during the Entry Period, for a total of eighteen (18) potential winners, on or around the date(s) set forth in the chart in Section 4. Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible Entries received. Non-winning eligible entries from previous Drawing Entry Periods will not roll over to subsequent Drawing Entry Periods.


6. Prize Notification and Delivery: Administrator will announce the potential winner(s) on https://events.hackster.io/game-night-with-amd and will notify each potential winner by email shortly after they are drawn on the Drawing Date. Within five (5) business days of the Administrator’s notification, winner must supply any requested information for the administration of the Sweepstakes. If you are a potential winner, Administrator may require you to sign an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability/Publicity Release. Canadian residents will be required to correctly answer a mathematical skill testing question in order to be confirmed a winner. You are advised to seek independent counsel regarding the possible tax implications of accepting a prize. The Administrator will not provide additional tax documentation. If you do not complete the required forms as instructed and/or do not return the required forms within five (5) business days, we may disqualify you and select an alternative winner. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails to respond to the notification within the required time period; fails or refuses to fully complete, sign and return the Affidavit; fails to provide the requested information; fails to correctly answer the skill testing question; the prize or notification is returned as undeliverable; or is determined by the Administrator and/or Sponsor to be otherwise ineligible, they forfeit the applicable prize. If for any reason a potential winner is disqualified, the prize may be awarded to a potential alternate winner, selected by random drawing from among remaining Eligible Entries. Only one (1) alternate drawing will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. Prizes will be distributed approximately six (6) to eight (8) weeks after receipt of the requested information from the winners. Potential winner(s) may waive their right to receive a prize, in which case an alternate winner may be selected in the manner described above.
