The Contest is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and is void where prohibited or restricted by law.

Proof of such consent may be required at any time.

 2. Agreement to Official Rules

By submitting a Submission (defined below), Participant (defined below) fully and unconditionally agrees to and accepts these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final and binding. Winning a Prize is contingent upon the Participant being compliant with these Official Rules and fulfilling all other requirements set forth herein.

 3. Contest Period

The Contest begins on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 at 2:00 PM CT and ends on March 26, 2019 at 11:59 PM CT (the “Contest Period”). As further described below, Sponsor may post up to three individual trivia questions on Whataburger’s official Snapchat page (each a “Question”) at various times over the course of each Tuesday during the Contest Period. Sponsor will begin accepting Submissions (as defined and further discussed in Section 4) for each individual Question immediately upon Sponsor’s posting of such Question and will continue to accept Submissions for such Question until the earlier of the following: (a) the First Correct Answer (as defined in Section 5) has been received by Sponsor, or (b) 11:59 PM CT on the Tuesday on which the Question was first posted. In the event the First Correct Answer to a Question is received prior to 11:59 PM CT on the Tuesday during which the Question was posted, Sponsor may then post another Question for which it will begin accepting Submissions on the same basis as specified in the preceding sentence. In no event will Sponsor post more than three Questions on any Tuesday during the Contest Period. Answers to Questions submitted outside of the Contest Period or after the First Correct Answer has been received by Sponsor are not eligible to win a Prize.

 4. How to Enter

Each Submission must be made in accordance with these Official Rules. To enter the Contest, individuals must attempt to correctly answer the applicable Question by sending a text response or video response to Whataburger’s official Snapchat page. Subject to all of the other provisions of these Official Rules, a person who answers a Question will be considered a “Participant”, and that person’s answer submitted to Whataburger’s official Snapchat page within the Contest Period will be the “Submission”. Submissions can only be made via Whataburger’s official Snapchat page, either in a text response or in a video response to the applicable Question posted by Sponsor. Each Submission must contain only a single answer and respond to a single Question. Any purported Submission that includes multiple answers will be disqualified. Submissions will not be acknowledged or returned.

5. Winner Selection

As Submissions are received by Sponsor, the Submission will be judged by one or more members of the Whataburger Social Media Team as either correct or incorrect. The first Submission received for the applicable Question that is judged correct (the “First Correct Answer”), and for which Submission the potential winning Participant fully complies with these Official Rules, including those contained in Section 8, will be the “Winning Submission” for the applicable Question. If a Submission is made via text, the answer in the Submission must be spelled correctly to be considered correct. If a Submission is made via video or audio, the answer in the Submission must be pronounced correctly to be considered correct. Each Participant that submitted a Winning Submission for a Question and fully complies with these Official Rules will receive a Prize, for a total of up to 12 Prize winners, i.e., there will be only a single winning Participant per Question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while a Participant may submit multiple Submissions, each Participant is only eligible to win, at most, one Prize. Incorrect Submissions, or answers to Questions received by Sponsor outside of the Contest Period or after a First Correct Answer has been received by Sponsor, will not receive a Prize regardless of whether the Participant who submitted the First Correct Answer fully complies with the Official Rules, including Section 8 below.

6. Winner Notification

The Sponsor will attempt to notify each potential winning Participant via direct message to the potential winner’s social media account after his or her Submission is judged to be the First Correct Answer. To win the Contest, the potential winning Participant must comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements, including consent of a parent or legal guardian where applicable. In the event that a potential winning Participant declines the applicable Prize or is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, elect to award the applicable Prize to another winning Participant, or Sponsor may elect at its sole discretion not to award the Prize, or Sponsor may cancel the Contest in its sole discretion.

 7. Prizes

No more than one winning Participant per Question will be chosen, as described in Section 5 above, for a total of up to 12 Prizes awarded. Each winning Participant will receive a gift card valued at $150 (each a “Prize”), which is approximately equivalent to the value of the cost of 52 orders of medium french fries (i.e., “Whataburger Fries-for-a-Year”).

Once a potential winning Participant has submitted all required Prize Verification Forms (as defined in Section 8), Sponsor will send a Prize to that winning Participant. A Minor will not be allowed to receive a Prize without the proof of consent of the Minor’s parent or legal guardian and the parent or legal guardian’s complete acceptance of these Official Rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Official Rules, a Participant is only eligible to win, at most, one Prize no matter how many correct answers such Participant submits to any one or more Questions.

No transfer, substitution, or cash equivalent for all or any portion of a Prize is allowed except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. A Prize or any portion of a Prize is non-transferable and may not be given, bartered, substituted, sold, or exchanged for cash or another Prize. Unused components of a Prize have no redeemable cash value. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute any listed Prize for one of equal or greater value for any reason.

8. Winner Verification and Prize Conditions

In addition to the other requirements in Section 6 above, the potential winning Participant (and the parent or legal guardian of any Minor chosen as a potential winning Participant) will be required to sign and return to Sponsor any legal documents that Sponsor may require including but not limited to, a Winner’s Affidavit (which may contain a publicity release and an assignment of ownership of all rights, title and interest in and to the winning Participant’s Submission, subject to a limited personal use granted to such Participant), and an IRS Form W-9 (collectively, “Prize Verification Forms”), within the amount of time specified in the email or other notice by which the Sponsor delivers the Prize Verification Forms to the potential winning Participant.

9. General Conditions

In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Contest is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but not limited to fraud, virus, bug, worm, unauthorized human intervention, or other technical problem, or in the event the Contest is unable to run as planned for any other reason, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either (a) suspend the Contest to address the impairment and then resume the Contest in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules, or (b) terminate the Contest and, in the event of termination, award Prizes only to those Winning Submissions verified under these Official Rules before the time of the impairment. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to damage the platform or undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages (including attorneys fees) and any other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Failure by Sponsor to enforce any provision of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
