Voters can vote by doing the following: (a) all Voters will earn one (1) free vote every twenty-four (24) hours, which they can cast for their favorite Competitor, after Operator verifies Voter eligibility (whether via Facebook, SMS verification, payment method verification, or other process); and/or (b) Voters of eligible age can donate to cast additional votes (for one or more Competitors). Operator retains the right to provide additional means of voting (e.g. 2-for-1 votes), which may be offered to voters at any point during the Competition, at its sole discretion. “Qualifying Votes” are those placed in accordance with these Rules and the Terms of Use, which can also be found on the Website.

The winning Competitor(s) of each round of the Competition will be determined based upon the number of Qualifying Votes received, with those receiving the highest number of Qualifying Votes deemed the winner(s) of that round. “Bot” activity or any kind of robotic or automated voting mechanism is not an accepted form of voting and such votes will not be counted, if discovered. If this type of false voting is detected, the individual, associated IP address, email address, and mobile phone number will be banned from voting. At its sole discretion, Operator reserves the right to disqualify Competitors suspected in encouraging, soliciting, or otherwise knowingly participating in this type of activity, or any other voting activity Operator deems unfair.

Entrants/Competitors consent to a background check that may be performed, at the sole discretion of Operator, to verify information provided by Entrants/Competitors and compliance with these Rules, or for other reasons related to the Competition. If you are selected as the Grand Prize Winner, your information may also be included on the Website and/or on a publicly available “Winners List”.


GRAND PRIZE

The one (1) verified Grand Prize Winner in the Competition will receive a prize package valued at an approximate maximum retail value (ARV) of $70,000.00, comprised of (a) a $20,000 cash honorarium; (b) a "Weekend Getaway" in Palm Springs, CA (minimum 4-days/3-nights) for the Grand Prize Winner and one (1) guest, with accompanying spa services selected by Operator, valued at $10,000; and (c) the $40,000.00 estimated value of attending an exclusive photo shoot, to be photographed to be featured in a minimum two-page (2-page) spread in Woman's World magazine, with the exact number of pages for the interior-page pictorial to be determined by Operator (the “Grand Prize”). The Grand Prize Winner may refer to herself as the “Super Mom” or the "Super Mom Winner" in written and/or descriptive materials, but only if such use(s) and display(s) is/are purely non-commercial and in no event suggest or create any confusion whatsoever that Operator or Woman's World Magazine are endorsing or participating in any manner related to the use of their name, logos, or fonts.

The Grand Prize Winner will be photographed exclusively by a Super Mom-designated photographer in Palm Springs at a location determined by Operator, and must be able to travel to the "Weekend Getaway" and photo shoot within forty-five (45) days of the conclusion of the Competition. The Grand Prize Winner must have all necessary travel documents at that time, including passport and any applicable requisite Covid-19 vaccination/testing documentation. If the Grand Prize Winner is not available for the "Weekend Getaway" and photo shoot for any reason, including due to death or incapacitation of the Grand Prize Winner, Operator may select an alternate winner (“Alternate Winner”), by determining the Entrant with the next-highest number of votes from the Finals, and the Grand Prize will be transferred to said Alternate Winner. Winnings/Prize(s) will be provided only after receiving all necessary documentation in compliance with Competition eligibility, successful completion of feature photography at Operator's designated location. 

The Grand Prize Winner and their guest (if applicable) will be flown via round-trip coach airfare from a major United States airport that is situated near the Grand Prize Winner’s residence, as determined by Operator, to a major airport located near Palm Springs; will be accommodated in a hotel/resort designated by Operator for a minimum of 4 days/3 nights (2 queen or 1 king-size bed) for the purposes of participating in the "Weekend Getaway" (with associated spa services), attending the photo shoot, and to complete additional tasks and possible public relations appearances; and will receive meals (selected by Operator) and ground transportation (selected by Operator). Any changes in travel once flights or other arrangements are reserved will be the financial responsibility of the changing party.

The Grand Prize Winner will be announced on the Website. By agreeing to appear as the winner of the Competition, the Grand Prize Winner consents to the use of their name, photos/videos (including the photo shoot, filming, interview, etc.), and/or likenesses for advertising and trade purposes in connection with the Super Mom and/or Woman's World brands, including without limitation, the Super Mom Competition and in print and digital materials in the United States and any countries where the Super Mom and/or Woman's World brands exist, in any and all media known or hereinafter discovered, without territorial or time limitations and without additional compensation, except where prohibited. In the event there is an occurrence beyond Operator’s control, including but not limited to a force majeure, or act of nature, etc., Operator may elect, in its sole discretion, to offer a cash equivalency for any portion of the Grand Prize, in substitution for the current Grand Prize as described herein in this Section. By accepting the prize package or money, the Grand Prize Winner acknowledges compliance with these Rules. To the extent that any United States federal and/or state income or other taxes apply to the value of the prize(s) and/or award(s) provided to the Grand Prize Winner, the Grand Prize Winner shall be solely responsible for the reporting and payment of such taxes. Actual/appraised value may differ from the ARV at time of Grand Prize award. Grand Prize Winner will not receive the difference between the actual value of the Grand Prize or any Grand Prize component and the ARV of such Grand Prize or Grand Prize component.


ANCILLARY PROMOTIONS

Operator reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to conduct additional promotions during the Competition (each, if any, an “Ancillary Promotion”, and collectively, the “Ancillary Promotions”). Ancillary Promotions, if any, may be conducted in a manner that may or may not be related to elements of the Competition.

Prior to conducting, and throughout the duration of, any such Ancillary Promotion, Operator will provide the following information about any such Ancillary Promotion:

Examples of Ancillary Promotions may include, but are not limited to, promotions related to incentivizing individuals to enter the Competition or vote for Competitors in the Competition during a designated period. In addition to any specific Ancillary Promotion Rules, these Rules, to the extent applicable, shall govern the Ancillary Promotions.


CONDUCT

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE RULES AND/OR THE TERMS OF USE MAY RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION. Operator reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to take action against any individual participating in the Competition as a Competitor or a Voter, including removal from the Competition or the voiding of votes, for reasons including: (a) acting in any manner deemed by Operator to be in violation of these Rules or the Terms of Use; (b) acting in any manner deemed by Operator to be harmful to the Competition, other Competitors, etc.; or (c) acting in any manner deemed by Operator to be unsportsmanlike, disruptive, and/or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other person/entity.
