HOW TO ENTER

Revgear is having a blogger contest to promote Revgear products through user-created and user-promoted blogs. By entering this Promotion, entrants accept and agree to be bound by these Official Rules. Any violation of these rules may result in disqualification. All decisions of the judges regarding this Promotion are final and binding in all respects.

1. PROMOTION PERIOD. Promotion begins at 12:01 a.m. ET on February 22, 2010 and ends at 11:59 PM ET March 22, 2010 (“Promotion Period”).

2. ELIGIBILITY. This contest (the “Promotion”) is OPEN ONLY TO LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE US WHO ARE 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AS OF THE DATE OF ENTRY, except officers, directors, members, and employees of the Sponsor, the judging organization (if applicable), or any other party associated with the development or administration of this Promotion, and the immediate family (i.e., parents, children, siblings, spouse), and persons residing in the same household, as such individuals. This Promotion is void outside the United States, and where otherwise prohibited.

3. HOW TO ENTER. Visit www.yovia.com/blogs/wp-signup.php and follow the instructions to create your blog if you have not already done so. Entrants represent and warrant that their blog content is the original work of such entrant, it has not been copied from others, and it does not violate the rights of any other person or entity. Entrants with a valid email address are invited to create as many blogs as they wish and/or post as many blog posts as they wish to their blog. All entrant information, including e-mail addresses, is subject to the respective Privacy Policy of the applicable Sponsor.

Entrants who meet eligibility requirements are required to create a Yovia blog and send the blog name, the entrant’s name and the entrant’s email address to editor@yovia.com in order to be considered part of the contest. Entrants must then write one or more blog posts to their blog about MMA, martial arts and related topics. Sponsor prefers at least one blog post per entrant to be on a topic related to Revgear, such as Revgear products.

4. ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of winning will be determined by the number of entries received.

5. ALL ENTRIES WILL BE PRE-SCREENED: All entries will be screened for appropriateness. No blog content that is deemed by our panel of judges to be pornographic, or is determined to be vulgar in any way, or is defamatory to anyone or any group, race, religion or nation will be allowed or displayed.

6. WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION The blog that receives the most traffic during the Promotion Period will be deemed the winner of the contest; the blog with the second-highest traffic will be deemed the second place winner. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, is disqualified on ethical grounds (see below), does not respond within five (5) days from the date the Sponsor first tries to notify him/her, and/or the prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, such potential winner forfeits all rights to win the Promotion or receive the prize, and an alternate potential winner may be selected. Upon contacting a potential winner and determining that he/she has met all eligibility requirements of the Promotion, including without limitation to the execution of required waivers, publicity and liability releases and disclaimers, such individual will be declared the “winner” of the Promotion.

Any potential winner who is found to have used dishonest, illegal or unethical practices in order to promote traffic to his or her blog (including but not limited to “spam” emails, “spam” comment posts, intentionally misleading links and other fraudulent methods) will be deemed disqualified from the contest with all prizes forfeited. The decision of the judges regarding the appropriateness of practices used to drive traffic to participating blogs is final.

7. PRIZE DESCRIPTION. The “Grand Prize Winner” will receive a bag of Revgear products valued at $218. The second prize winner (the person who maintains the blog with the second-most traffic received in the Promotion Period) will receive 20% off a purchase at Revgear (discount does not apply to other Revgear offers or clearance items).

8. TAXES. All federal, state and/or local income and other taxes, if any, are the winner’s sole responsibility.
