Some station contests will have specific rules that may amend these eligibility values and these rules will be aired on the station during said contest.

The station shall not be liable for any claim by any winner for damages incidental thereto.

18. The stations shall have no responsibility for failure to win or claim any prize based on difficulties with telephone, facsimile, email, or internet difficulties, or any circumstances in any contest.

19. Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests heard on the radio station’s internet audio stream are slightly delayed from the time the contests are heard on the broadcast station, and will be running behind the broadcast signal. Thus, all contests heard are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means that when WMLL contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 10 when you hear the sound effect”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air.

20. The following are specifically related to E-contests and E-Mail Club promotions on 965themill.com: a. All appropriate information in required fields must be filled out or you will be disqualified. b. To win a prize you must reside within the listening area of WMLL, as defined at the exclusive discretion of WMLL management. c. Any problems with the internet or email are not WMLL’S responsibility.
