Only Submitted Videos that are submitted in accordance with all applicable rules governing this Contest will be eligible for selection. All entrants agree to the foregoing and in addition agree to provide, upon request of the Sponsor, any documentation and releases necessary to prove their unrestricted ownership in all materials contained in their Submitted Video and the Sponsor's right to use such materials without limitation for any purpose, without any compensation.
