accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official
Rules and the decisions of Paramount Vantage, 5555 Melrose

residents of the fifty (50) United States (and the District
of Columbia), located in the U.S. at the time of entry, (ii)

(the “Website”) and log in to your Facebook account,
or visit www.facebook.com,
log in to your account, and use the search function to access
the “American Teen” official Facebook page (the

Page, follow the steps to become a fan of the Picture. You
will automatically receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes
after you successfully become a fan of the Picture. All entries
must be received by the end of the Promotion Period. The database
clock tied to the Official Picture Page will be the official
timekeeper for this Sweepstakes.
Limit
one (1) entry per person and/or email address and/or Facebook
user. No mechanically reproduced, illegible, or incomplete,
entries will be accepted. The use of any device to automate
the entry process is prohibited. NOTE: Entry must be made
by the entrant, and only at the Official Picture Page. Entries
made by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating
at any other website or e-mail address, including but not
limited to commercial sweepstakes subscription notification
and/or entering services, will be declared invalid and disqualified
for this Sweepstakes. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole
discretion to disqualify any individual who is found to be
tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes
or the Official Picture Page. Except as otherwise stated in
these Official Rules, personal information collected in connection
with this Sweepstakes will be used in accordance with the
Facebook privacy policy found at the Website and Sponsor’s
online privacy policy found at http://www.paramount.com/paramount.php.
WINNER
SELECTION: At the end of the Promotion Period, Sponsor or
its designee will conduct a drawing from among all eligible
entries received, using randomization methods selected by
Sponsor in it sole discretion. Potential Grand Prize winners
will be notified by telephone, e-mail, and/or mail using the
contact information provided at the time at the time of entry
and/or as available via their Facebook profiles. In addition,
if Sponsor elects, the announcements also will be posted online
at the Official Picture Page. Sponsor shall have no liability
for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not
received by the potential Grand Prize winner for any reason.
Time is of the essence in awarding each Grand Prize. If any
potential Grand Prize winner does not respond within twenty-four
(24) hours of the first notification attempt, or if the Grand
Prize is declined or a notification is returned as unclaimed
or undeliverable to any potential Grand Prize winner, such
potential Grand Prize winner will forfeit his or her Grand
Prize and an alternate Grand Prize winner may be selected.
If any potential Grand Prize winner is found to be ineligible,
or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules
or declines a Grand Prize for any reason prior to award, such
potential Grand Prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate
Grand Prize winner may be selected. Sponsor may successively
attempt to contact up to two (2) potential winners of each
Grand Prize in accordance with such procedure, and if there
is still no confirmed winner of the Grand Prize in question
after such attempts have been made, the applicable Grand Prize
may go unawarded. In the event a dispute as to the identity
of an entrant cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction,
the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.
PUBLICITY
RELEASE: By participating in the Sweepstakes, in addition
to any other grants which may be granted in any other agreement
entered into between Sponsor and any entrant in and/or winner
of the Sweepstakes, each entrant irrevocably grants the Promotion
Entities and their respective successors, assigns and licensees,
the right to use such entrant’s name, likeness, and
biographical information, and any other personal characteristics,
in any and all media for any purpose, including without limitation,
advertising and promotional purposes as well as in, on or
in connection with the Picture, its theatrical release, the
DVD of the Picture, the Official Picture Page or the Sweepstakes
or other promotions, and each entrant and/or Grand Prize winner
hereby release the Promotion Entities from any liability with
respect thereto.
PRIZES:
Four (4) Grand Prizes are available. Each Grand Prize consists
of a five (5) day/ four (4) night trip to attend the Lollapalooza
music festival in Chicago, Illinois, which includes (i) round-trip
coach-class air transportation between the major airport closest
to winner’s home and Chicago, Illinois, (ii) four (4)
nights’ hotel accommodations, (iii) one (1) three (3)-day
VIP pass to the Lollapalooza music festival, (iv) One Hundred
Dollars ($100) in spending money, and (v) VIP access to select
Picture screenings and parties (as determined by Sponsor,
in its sole discretion). The approximate retail value (“ARV”)
of each Grand Prize is $1,250. The total ARV of all Grand
Prizes is $5,000. Each Grand Prize winner must be eighteen
(18) years of age or older in order to redeem the Grand Prize
and participate in the Grand Prize activities. In the event
a Grand Prize winner’s home is close enough to Chicago,
Illinois, such that air transportation is deemed by Sponsor
in its sole discretion to be unnecessary, the applicable Grand
Prize will not include air transportation from such Grand
Prize winner’s residence and no other substitution or
compensation will be provided in lieu thereof. The Grand Prize
winners must possess all required travel documents, including
visas and valid passports, if and as applicable, and comply
with any applicable hotel check-in requirements, such as presentation
of a major credit card. All aspects of the travel portions
of the Grand Prize must be conducted on such dates as determined
by Sponsor in its sole discretion. The dates of travel are
currently anticipated to be July 31, 2008, through August
4, 2008, with attendance at the Lollapalooza music festival
from August 1, 2008 through August 3, 2008. The dates of departure
and return are subject to change at Sponsor’s sole discretion.
Airfare may not include government taxes, Passenger Facility
Charge or September 11th Security Fee. Airline tickets are
non-refundable/non-transferable and are not valid for upgrades
and/or frequent flyer miles. Other travel restrictions and
blackout dates may apply. All airline tickets are subject
to the vagaries of flight variation, work stoppages, and schedule
or route changes. The ARV for travel prizes may vary depending
upon points of departure and destination and fare fluctuations.
Sponsor reserves the right to structure travel routes and
select hotels in its sole discretion. The ARV for travel prizes
is an estimate made before the Sweepstakes begins. A Grand
Prize winner will not receive cash or any other form of compensation
if actual travel costs are less than the estimate made in
these Official Rules. The round trip air transportation element
for any travel prize begins and ends at the point of departure.
No interest will be awarded on cash prizes. In the event any
Grand Prize winner engages in behavior that (as determined
by Sponsor in its sole discretion) is obnoxious or threatening,
illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass
any other person, Sponsor reserves the right to terminate
the trip or other applicable experience early, in whole or
in part, and send the Grand Prize winner home with no further
compensation. The travel portion of the Grand Prize must be
redeemed and travel must be completed by August 4, 2008.
All Grand
Prize winners must be able to travel to Chicago, Illinois
on July 31, 2008, and the Grand Prize activities will continue
through August 4, 2008. If a potential Grand Prize winner
cannot attend on the dates specified, the applicable Grand
Prize will be forfeited in its entirety and may be awarded
to an alternate Grand Prize winner.
No cash
alternative or prize substitutions will be allowed, except
Sponsor reserves the right to substitute prize(s) of comparable
value if a prize listed is unavailable for any reason. In
the event the trip and/or event listed in the Grand Prize
description does not or cannot take place as scheduled or
at all, for reasons including but not limited to scheduling
conflicts, cancellations, postponement, an event of force
majeure, or for any other reason, then in lieu of attending
the trip and/or applicable event, the Grand Prize winners
will receive $100, and such amount plus the remaining components,
if any, of the Grand Prize, shall constitute full satisfaction
of Sponsor’s prize obligation to the Grand Prize winners,
and no other or additional compensation will be awarded. All
details and other restrictions of the Grand Prizes not specified
in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its
sole discretion. The Grand Prizes are non-assignable and non-transferable.
Applicable portions of the Grand Prizes will only be delivered
to addresses in the U.S.
GENERAL
PRIZE CONDITIONS: The Grand Prize winners shall be solely
responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and
the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees
or costs associated with the applicable Grand Prize. The potential
Grand Prize winners will be required to execute Affidavits
of Eligibility, Liability Releases, and Publicity Releases
(where legal) (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”).
The Liability Release that potential Grand Prize winners are
required to sign will provide, without limitation, that the
Promotion Entities will be held harmless from and against
any and all costs, injuries, losses or damages of any kind,
including, without limitation, death and bodily injury, due
in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to the applicable
Grand Prize winner’s participation in the Grand Prize
activities or any other Grand Prize-related activity. If a
Grand Prize winner is under the age of majority in such Grand
Prize winner’s state of residence (a “minor”),
at Sponsor’s option, the applicable Grand Prize either
will be awarded in the name of the parent or legal guardian
of such minor Grand Prize winner, or the parent or legal guardian
of such minor Grand Prize winner will be required to ratify
and sign Prize Claim Documents. If a Grand Prize winner (or,
in the case of a minor, such minor Grand Prize winner’s
parent or legal guardian) fails or refuses to sign and return
all Prize Claim Documents within the time specified by Sponsor
during the potential Grand Prize winner notification process
(or a shorter time if required by exigencies), the potential
Grand Prize winner may be disqualified and an alternate Grand
Prize winner may be selected.
GENERAL
LIABILITY RELEASE/FORCE MAJEURE: Entrants (or if minors, their
parents or legal guardians) agree that the Promotion Entities
(a) shall not be responsible or liable for any losses, damages
or injuries of any kind resulting from participation in the
Sweepstakes or any Sweepstakes-related activity, or from entrants’
acceptance, receipt, possession and/or use or misuse of the
prize(s), and (b) have not made any warranty, representation
or guarantee express or implied, in fact or in law, with respect
to the prize(s), including, without limitation, to such prize’s
quality or fitness for a particular purpose. Sponsor assumes
no responsibility for any damage to an entrant’s computer
system which is occasioned by accessing the Official Picture
Page or participating in the Sweepstakes, or for any computer
system, phone line, hardware, software or program malfunctions,
or other errors, failures, delayed computer transmissions
or network connections that are human or technical in nature.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sponsor
is not responsible for incomplete, illegible, misdirected,
misprinted, late, lost, damaged, stolen, or postage-due entries
or prize notifications; or for lost, interrupted, inaccessible
or unavailable networks, servers, satellites, Internet Service
Providers, websites, or other connections; or for miscommunications,
failed, jumbled, scrambled, delayed, or misdirected computer,
telephone or cable transmissions; or for any technical malfunctions,
failures, difficulties or other errors of any kind or nature;
or for the incorrect or inaccurate capture of information,
or the failure to capture any information. Sponsor reserves
the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual
who is found to be tampering with the entry process or the
operation of the Sweepstakes or the Official Picture Page,
to be acting in violation of these Official Rules, or to be
acting in an unsportsman-like or disruptive manner, or with
the intent to disrupt or undermine the legitimate operation
of the Sweepstakes, or to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass
any other person, and Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages
and other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent
permitted by law. In the event an insufficient number of eligible
entries are received or Sponsor is prevented from awarding
prize(s) or continuing with the Sweepstakes as contemplated
herein by any event beyond its control, including but not
limited to fire, flood, natural or man-made epidemic, earthquake,
explosion, labor dispute or strike, act of God or public enemy,
satellite or equipment failure, riot or civil disturbance,
terrorist threat or activity, war (declared or undeclared)
or any federal state or local government law, order, or regulation,
public health crisis (e.g. SARS), order of any court or jurisdiction,
or other cause not reasonably within Sponsor’s control
(each a “Force Majeure” event or occurrence),
then Sponsor shall have the right to modify, suspend, or terminate
the Sweepstakes. If the Sweepstakes is terminated for Force
Majeure before the designated end date, Sponsor will (if possible)
select the winners from all eligible, non-suspect entries
received as of the date of the event giving rise to the termination.
These Official Rules cannot be modified or amended in any
way except in a written document issued in accordance with
law by a duly authorized representative of Sponsor. The invalidity
or unenforceability of any provision of these rules shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid
or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these rules shall otherwise
remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with
their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not
contained herein.
GOVERNING
LAW/JURISDICTION: ALL ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEABILITY
OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES OR THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF ENTRANTS
OR SPONSOR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES SHALL BE GOVERNED

ARBITRATION
PROVISION. By participating in this Sweepstakes, each entrant
agrees that any and all disputes the entrant may have with,
or claims entrant may have against, the Promotion Entities
relating to, arising out of or connected in any way with (i)
the Sweepstakes, (ii) the awarding or redemption of any prize,
and/or (iii) the determination of the scope or applicability
of this agreement to arbitrate, will be resolved individually
and exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered
by the National Arbitration Forum (the “Forum”)
and conducted before a sole arbitrator pursuant to the Code
of Procedure established by the Forum. The arbitration shall
be held at a location determined by the Forum pursuant to
the Code of Procedure, or at such other location as may be
mutually agreed by the participant and Sponsor. The arbitrator’s
decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of
these Official Rules and any of the other agreements referenced
herein that the applicable participant may have entered into
in connection with the Sweepstakes. There shall be no authority
for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative
basis; arbitration can decide only the participant’s
and/or Sponsor’s individual claims and the arbitrator
may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or
parties who may be similarly situated. The arbitrator shall
not have the power to award punitive damages against the participant
or Sponsor. For more information on the Forum and/or the Forum’s
Code of Procedure, please visit their website at www.arb-forum.com.
If any part of this Arbitration Provision is deemed to be
invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the balance
