The Voice on Snapchat

Voting Rules and Procedures

These Voting Rules and Procedures are subject to change at any time at the sole discretion of First Alternative Productions LLC (“Producer”).  Void where prohibited.

Voting (“Voting”) is simple and easy.  To vote, log in to the Snapchat App, tap on the Stories icon on the bottom right of your screen.  Next, tap the Discover button on the top right of your screen to locate The Voice Story (the “Story”).  While viewing the Story, swipe up to vote for your favorite contestant when prompted (the “Vote”).  A Snapchat account is required to submit your Vote.  If you do not already have a free Snapchat account, visit iTunes and/or Google Play store and download the free Snapchat app.  If you choose to submit your Vote via your web-enabled mobile device, data rates may apply.  See your wireless service provider for details on rates and capabilities.  Voting will be conducted pursuant to these Voting Rules and Procedures and any such other rules and procedures as Producer may from time to time designate.

Eligibility:  You must be 13 years of age or older to submit your Vote.  You must be a permanent legal resident of the 50 United States including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico (“Geographic Area”).  Votes must be cast by the authorized account holder of the Snapchat account from which the Vote is made.

Voting Period and Restrictions:  Voting is open during multiple voting periods (each a “Voting Period”) between October 7, 2018 and October 19, 2018.  Additional Voting Periods may be announced on this website at any time.  Each Voting Period will take place as follows:

Producer reserves the right to limit the number of Votes, in its sole discretion.  Notification regarding any such change will be announced on-air and/or posted on the Web site.

General Conditions:  Producer has the right, in its sole discretion, to void any Vote that appears, to have been made by a person not meeting the eligibility requirements set forth above, or to be an automated or duplicate Vote, and has the right to permanently disqualify from Voting any person it believes has violated these rules.  If for any reason the Voting is not capable of being run or implemented as planned, including, but not limited to, as the result of infection by computer viruses or bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, or any other cause beyond the control of Producer, which is likely to, or actually corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of the Voting, then Producer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw the transmission of any Vote and/or to terminate or suspend the Voting at any point and declare the Voting results based upon the Votes up to that point.  In the event of technical difficulties with the Voting, including, but not limited to, mobile or Internet service interruptions, Producer reserves the right to review the Votes for accuracy and to take any appropriate action, including, without limitation, voiding the Votes cast during the time period in which such technical difficulties occurred.  Producer, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, Finnmax LLC, Snap Inc., Talpa Media USA, Inc., and Horizon Alternative Television, Inc., and their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and advertising and promotion agencies, any other entity involved in the development or administration of the Voting, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and assigns (collectively the “Administrators”) are not responsible for any computer, network, technical, electronic, human or other errors or problems of any kind, for any injury or damage to participants or to any person’s computer or mobile phone relating to or resulting from Voting or downloading materials or software in connection with the Voting, or for Votes that are stolen, misdirected, garbled, delayed, lost, or late.  By participating, each individual agrees to release, indemnify and hold the Administrators harmless against any and all claims and liability of any kind arising in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, out of their participation in the Voting.  Administrators will take reasonable steps where practicable to prevent Voting outside of the Geographic Area; however, some Votes cast outside of the Geographic Area may be counted, and such individual waives any claims such individual may have against the Administrators as a result of the inclusion of such Votes.

Caution: Any attempt by you or any other individual to deliberately damage any online service, mobile phone service, or website, tamper with the Voting process, or otherwise undermine the legitimate operation of the Voting is a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an attempt be made, Administrators reserve the right to seek damages and/or other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Disputes:  THESE RULES, AND SUBMISSION OF YOUR VOTE, ARE GOVERNED BY, AND WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE FORUM AND VENUE FOR ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK. IF THE CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM IS NOT OTHERWISE RESOLVED THROUGH DIRECT DISCUSSIONS OR MEDIATION, IT SHALL THEN BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY JUDICIAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION SERVICES, INC., IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES OR SUBSEQUENT VERSIONS THEREOF (“JAMS RULES”).  THE JAMS RULES FOR SELECTION OF AN ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FOLLOWED, EXCEPT THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE EXPERIENCED AND LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW IN NEW YORK.  ALL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK.  THE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ATTORNEY’S FEES OR OTHER SUCH RELATED COSTS OF BRINGING A CLAIM, OR TO RESCIND THIS AGREEMENT OR SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR ANY OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF.
