Identification of Entrants
Each entry you submit will be automatically tracked in our database. If you are deemed a prize winner, and are notified by Amazing Inventions, you must respond within thirty (30) days with your registration details, which must identically match the information included in each game file of entries in order for a prize to be awarded. In the event of a dispute, the information in the aforementioned file will govern. Entries will be deemed made by the person under whose name the entry was registered, regardless of who actually submitted the entry. Be sure to use the correct log in name and your own e-mail address.
Notification
Prize winners will be notified within 3 to 24 hours via email to confirm registration details and make payment arrangements. Payments are generally made via PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account, please provide your full name and mailing address upon entry. If you are a winner, we will mail you a money order.
Prizes
The results of all tournaments offered on the Site depend on the number of the players participating in such tournaments; precise odds of winning are therefore unavailable. Prizes are generally cash amounts, which are deposited directly into winners' accounts. The cash value of prizes offered in Limited Entry tournaments will be disclosed at the beginning of such tournaments. If a Limited Entry tournament has to close prematurely, such as for maintenance or technical problems, the prize for the tournament will be paid. Except where otherwise noted, in all tournaments with actual cash entry fees, the Site retains a portion of the aggregate total as a management fee.
After each quiz closes, the player with the highest total score wins. Payment will be made to the winner within a few hours after the quiz closes. The winner of each quiz receives a 50% payout of the total cash entries for that specific quiz. If the winner accepts PayPal, payment will be made the same day. Otherwise, we will mail a money order. (If you do not have a PayPal account, be sure to include your full name and address in the "notes" section when you make your payment. If you win, we will mail you a money order.) For a list of winners, click the "winners" list on the Amazing Inventions homepage. Lists of winners will be posted on the Site immediately following each tournament, except in the case of tournaments with substantial (as determined by the Site in its sole discretion) prizes, where lists may be delayed for up to five business days while verification of the results takes place in order to help prevent potential abuse.
Amazing Inventions does not offer refunds for technical failure of your computer, a missed contest time, disputed questions, or any other dispute. If you have a question about a payment or credit, please contact us. If appropriate, we will provide you with a credit towards a future contest.
