Terms and Conditions are a critical part of any contest. They not only set the rules for participants but also protect you as a contest organizer. ViralKit.com simplifies the process of creating these important documents with a tool to generate them automatically or the option to add your own. This guide will walk you through both methods.

Option 1: Add Your Own Terms and Conditions

If you have prepared your Terms and Conditions document, you can add it to your contest as follows:

Log in to your ViralKit.com dashboard and click on edit.
Scroll to the “add your own terms and conditions” section of your contest setup page.
Select “Yes” when asked if you would like to add your own terms/rules.
Paste your prepared Terms and Conditions into the text box provided.
Review the information to ensure it matches your contest’s details and legal requirements.
Save your contest to apply the changes.

Adding your own terms and conditions allows for complete customization and control over the contest rules, but requires that you ensure the terms are compliant with relevant laws and regulations.

Option 2: Use Pre-Built Terms and Conditions

For many, the legalities of contest rules can be daunting. ViralKit.com offers a convenient “Use Pre-Built Terms and Conditions” feature to streamline the process.

To use this feature:

Navigate to your contest dashboard and select the contest you wish to edit.
Scroll to the “add your own terms and conditions” section of your contest setup page.
Select “Yes” when asked if you would like to add your own terms/rules.
Click on the “Use Pre-Built Terms and Conditions” button.
You will be prompted to fill in specific fields to tailor the terms to your contest (fill in as many fields that are applicable to you):

Company Name: The legal name of the entity running the contest.
Company Address: The official address of the company.
City: The city in which the company is located.
State: The state/province in which the company operates.
Country: The country of the company’s operation.
Age of Eligibility: The minimum age required to enter the contest.
Retail Value of Prizes: The total retail value of all prizes being offered.
List of Prizes: A detailed list of all prizes available to win.
Start Date and Time: The official start date and time for the contest.
End Date and Time: The deadline for contest entries.
Company Email: An email address for contact and inquiries.
Privacy Policy URL: The URL to your company’s privacy policy.

Once you have filled in all necessary fields, click the “Generate Terms” button.
ViralKit will then create a set of terms and conditions based on the provided information.

Before using the pre-built Terms and Conditions, consider the following disclaimer:

ViralKit provides an official rules template for your sweepstakes. However, it is important to be aware that most states and countries have different laws and regulations for sweepstakes. ViralKit takes no responsibility for your compliance with these laws. It is your responsibility to ensure that your official rules are legally compliant with the regulations of your locality.

Finalizing Your Terms and Conditions

After generating or entering your Terms and Conditions, make sure to thoroughly review the document for any errors or legal compliance issues. Once you are satisfied with the document, save your changes. This will make the Terms and Conditions part of your contest and binding for all participants.

ViralKit’s tools for Terms and Conditions make it easier to run a legally sound contest. However, it’s always good practice to have your terms reviewed by a legal professional, especially if you expect a large number of participants or if your contest will be open to multiple jurisdictions.
