Following submission of the completed Beta Program registration form, Sponsor will turn on the feature flag for Entrant’s Airtable account, allowing Entrant to build an app on the Airtable platform (a “Block”) using Sponsor’s provided SDK. After Entrant has built their Block in accordance with all requirements in these Terms, including this How To Enter Section, Entrant must open source their Block under an open source license (MIT preferred) that can be shared with Sponsor via a public Github repository upon submission. Then, Entrant must go to the Devpost Contest webpage at https://airtable.devpost.com/ and following the instructions to complete and submit an entry form with all required information, including, without limitation, the following, for receipt by Sponsor before the end of the Contest Period (the “Entry”):

The email must also identify for which Category (defined below) the Entrant is submitting their Block for consideration. Each Block may only be submitted into one (1) Category, however Entrant may submit more than one (1) Block (either to different Categories or the same Category). A Block that is submitted by a Team may not be separately submitted by an Individual and vice versa. Entrant may also include a screenshot to accompany their user story blurb. All information, text, video, images, code, software, or other content that an Entrant submits to Sponsor as part of this Contest is referred to collectively as the Entrant’s “Entrant Content”.

Entries must be submitted and received by Sponsor during the Contest Period and in strict accordance with these Terms. Sponsor’s email server clock will be the official timekeeper for this Contest. For purposes of this Contest, only complete Entries that are actually received by Sponsor at the email address provided above and during the Contest Period will be considered. Other proof of submitting or attempting to submit an Entry (such as, without limitation, a printed, saved or copied “sent” email) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of the Entry for purposes of this Contest. Those who do not abide by these Terms and the instructions of Sponsor and its representatives and provide all required Entrant Content may, in Sponsor’s discretion, be disqualified. Entries (or participation that does not qualify as an “Entry”) that are incomplete, lost, late, misdirected, mutilated, fraudulent, illegitimate, incomprehensible, garbled, or generated by a macro, bot, or other automated means will not be accepted and will be void. Entries or participation made on behalf of an Entrant by a third party not affiliated or associated with that Entrant (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) or originating through any commercial promotion subscription, notification, or entering services will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Contest. No Released Party will have any responsibility or liability for any dispute regarding any Entrant. In the event that any dispute regarding an Entry or Entrant cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the Entry will be deemed ineligible and the Entrant disqualified. As a condition of entering the Contest, without limiting any other provision in these Terms, each Entrant gives consent for Sponsor and its agents to obtain and deliver their name, address and other information and Entry to third parties for the purpose of administering this Contest and complying with applicable laws, regulations, and rules. ENTRIES MAY NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGED, WILL NOT BE RETURNED AND, IN FACT, MAY BE DESTROYED. KEEP A COPY OR THE ORIGINAL OF EACH ELEMENT OF THE ENTRY.

WINNER SELECTION/NOTIFICATION: Eligible Entries will be judged by a panel of judges chosen by the Sponsor in its sole discretion (the “Judges”). Each eligible Entry in all Categories will be scored by Judges on each of the following weighted criterion (the “Criteria”):

1. Imagination (Extent to which the Block demonstrates creativity): 40%
The extent to which the block shows creativity and addresses a use case that has never been possible until now. How far can you push the boundaries of the Blocks SDK?

2. User impact (Extent to which the Block unlocks new user value): 20%
What is the magnitude of the impact delivered to the user? To what extent does it unlock new user value?

3. Design execution (ease of use, design & UI/UX): 20%
Is the solution intuitive and elegant? Is user navigation easy and simple?

4. Functionality execution (quality of submission, lack of errors, security best practices): 20%
How ready is this Block for wider distribution and user consumption?

To determine the winners in the event of a tie, the Entry receiving the highest score in the first criterion will be deemed the potential winner. If there is still a tie at that point, the Entry receiving the highest score in the second criterion will be deemed the potential winner. If there is still a tie at that point, the Entry receiving the highest score in the third criterion will be deemed the potential winner. If there is still a tie at that point, the Entry receiving the highest score in the fourth criterion will be deemed the potential winner. All Judges’ decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to this Contest.

The five (5) eligible Entries receiving the highest scores in Category 1 and the two (2) eligible Entries receiving the highest scores in each remaining Category (Category 2 and 3) will be deemed the potential winners in that Category (each, a “Category Winner”), subject to verification. The one (1) eligible Entry receiving the highest overall score among all Entries received in all Categories will be deemed the potential “Overall Winner,” subject to verification. Sponsor reserves the right to contact Entrants for verification purposes and administration of the Contest. Winners will be chosen as specifically described, and not using any random drawing or method incorporating chance. Sponsor or its designee will attempt to notify the potential winners on or around July 15, 2020 using a method of Sponsor or Devpost’s choosing using the contact information provided in the Entry.

Potential winners will be required to complete, execute, have notarized (if applicable), and return an Affidavit/Declaration of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (unless prohibited by law), tax documents, and related prize-acceptance documents (collectively, “Winner Documents”) within the time frame specified and in the form provided by Sponsor, without revision, or prize may be forfeited. In the case of a winning Team, the prize will be awarded to the Team Leader. If any individual member of a Team, or Team Leader refuses to comply with the foregoing requirements and other requirements of Sponsor, their Entry may be disqualified at any time in Sponsor’s sole discretion with no liability or responsibility to the respective Team or any Individual within that Team, even if other Team members have complied with the requirements. The Winner Documents, if applicable, must be received by Sponsor from the potential winner five (5) days of Sponsor sending the documents to the potential winner (or other time frame as stated in the Winner Documents) or prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected. If any notification or other Contest-related communication is returned as undeliverable, or if a selected potential winner cannot be reached or does not respond as instructed after Sponsor has attempted to notify that potential winner, that selected winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected (time permitting and in Sponsor’s sole discretion). Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification procedures in connection with the selection of any alternate potential winner, if any. The prize claim and Winner Documents are subject to verification by Sponsor. All prizes legitimately claimed will be awarded. Sponsor will not be obligated to pursue more than three (3) alternate winner (time permitting) for each prize for any reason.

Prizes will be payable to the Entrant, or, if the winner is a Team, the prize will be payable to the Team Leader. Team Leader is responsible for equitably distributing the prize among all Team members and Sponsor will not be responsible disputes among Team members. Prizes are payable via any means of the Sponsor or Devpost’s choosing, whether electronic or not, and are payable only after receipt of the Winner Documents and any other required forms. A winning Entrant may be required to provide a mailing address, bank information, and/or create an account with an electronic payment provider of the Sponsor or Devpost’s choosing in order to receive payment.

To the fullest extent allowable under applicable law, all taxes (including, without limitation, national, federal, state, provincial, territorial, prefectural, and/or local taxes), as well as any expenses arising from acceptance or use of the prize and not specified in these Terms as being provided as part of the prize, are the sole responsibility of the winner.

In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Terms will otherwise remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. If the Contest is not capable of running as planned for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify or suspend the Contest and award the prize based on eligible Entries received prior to cancellation, modification, or suspension, if any, or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor.

GOVERNING LAW/DISPUTES/ARBITRATION: YOU AGREE THAT THESE OFFICIAL RULES AND YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE CONTEST ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. BOTH YOU AND SPONSOR WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO BRING OR RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THE JAMS (DEFINED BELOW) RULES TO THE CONTRARY, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY OR ANY JURISDICTION TO HEAR THE ARBITRATION AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN, OR OTHERWISE COMBINE THE CLAIMS OF DIFFERENT PERSONS INTO ONE PROCEEDING.

FOR ENTRANTS WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES, THE PARTIES EACH AGREE TO FINALLY SETTLE ALL DISPUTES ONLY THROUGH ARBITRATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE SPONSOR SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN OR HAVING JURISDICTION OVER SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA AND ANY OTHER COURT WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES. IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY AND REVIEW IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION AND AWARD IS FINAL AND BINDING, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, AND JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, ANY CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CONTEST WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A SOLE ARBITRATOR UNDER THE STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES OF JAMS INC. (“JAMS”) OR ANY SUCCESSOR TO JAMS. IN THE EVENT JAMS IS UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO SET A HEARING DATE WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS OF THE FILING OF A “DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION,” THEN EITHER PARTY CAN ELECT TO HAVE THE ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY ANOTHER MUTUALLY AGREEABLE ARBITRATION ADMINISTRATION SERVICE WHO WILL HEAR THE CASE. IF AN IN-PERSON HEARING IS REQUIRED, THEN IT WILL TAKE PLACE IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA, CHICAGO, IL, NEW YORK CITY, NY, LOS ANGELES, CA, ATLANTA, GA OR DALLAS, TX (WHICHEVER IS CLOSEST TO YOUR RESIDENCE) OR IN YOUR HOMETOWN, BUT ONLY IF JAMS RULES SO REQUIRE. THE FEDERAL OR STATE LAW THAT APPLIES TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES WILL ALSO APPLY DURING THE ARBITRATION. DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WILL NOT BE CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDINGS THAT INVOLVE ANY CLAIMS OR CONTROVERSY OF ANOTHER PARTY, INCLUDING ANY CLASS ACTIONS OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IF FOR ANY REASON ANY COURT OR ARBITRATOR HOLDS THAT THIS RESTRICTION IS UNCONSCIONABLE OR UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DOES NOT APPLY AND THE DISPUTE MUST BE BROUGHT IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. SPONSOR AGREES TO PAY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND ARBITRATOR'S FEES IN ORDER TO CONDUCT THE ARBITRATION (BUT SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDING ANY TRAVEL OR OTHER COSTS OF ENTRANT TO ATTEND THE ARBITRATION HEARING). EITHER PARTY MAY, NOTWITHSTANDING THIS PROVISION, BRING QUALIFYING CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. IN NO EVENT WILL YOU SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RESCISSION, INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OR TO ENJOIN OR RESTRAIN THE OPERATION OR EXPLOITATION OF THE CONTEST.

Further, in any such dispute, under no circumstances will any Entrant be permitted or entitled to obtain awards for, and hereby waive all rights to claim, incidental or consequential damages. The prior limitation on damages is not intended to limit the Released Parties’ obligation (if any) to pay prevailing party costs or fees if recoverable pursuant to applicable law.
