1. Program Overview
Bigfoot Prints, Inc. (“Sponsor”) is offering three performance-based bonus opportunities (each, a “Grand Prize Program” and collectively, the “Program”) to eligible business Participants, tied to achievement of specific unit milestones on the Bigfoot Prints platform (the “Platform”).
The three Grand Prize Programs are:
- Sales & Marketing Grand Prize – First Participant to reach one million (1,000,000) Qualifying Sales.
- Artist Grand Prize – First Participant to reach one million (1,000,000) Qualifying Prints.
- Print Shop Grand Prize – First Participant to reach one million (1,000,000) Qualifying Reprints.
Each Grand Prize Program is skill and performance-based and is not a game of chance. Participation is limited to approved business partners of Sponsor and is not open to individual consumers.

6. Verification and Disqualification
6.1 Milestone Verification
When Sponsor’s systems indicate that a Participant has reached the relevant 1,000,000‑unit milestone, Sponsor will:
- Conduct an internal audit of all relevant transactions/production data.
- Validate that the units meet the definitions of Qualifying Sales, Qualifying Prints, or Qualifying Reprints.
- Adjust for cancelled, refunded, fraudulent, or otherwise invalid transactions.
Sponsor may require Participant to cooperate with this process, including providing information reasonably necessary to confirm compliance with the Partner Agreement and these Terms.
6.2 Fraud, Abuse, and Prohibited Conduct
Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any Participant if Sponsor believes that:
- Any data has been manipulated, falsified, or artificially inflated (e.g., fake orders, self‑purchases solely to trigger the milestone, click‑farms).
- The Participant has violated applicable law, institutional rules, or these Terms.
- The Participant has engaged in conduct that Sponsor reasonably deems unethical or damaging to Sponsor’s reputation.
If disqualified, Participant forfeits any claim to the Grand Prize and may be removed from the Program.
6.3 Ties and Disputes
In the event that two or more Participants appear to reach the 1,000,000‑unit milestone at or near the same time, Sponsor’s timestamped internal records will control. If a tie remains, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either:
- Split the Grand Prize in a manner it deems equitable, or
- Determine a tie‑breaker criterion (e.g., earliest enrollment date or highest net valid units after audit).
All decisions by Sponsor on verification, disqualification, and tie resolution are final and binding, subject to any non‑waivable rights under applicable law.
7. Payout Structure and Taxes
7.1 Form of Grand Prize
Each Grand Prize may be structured as:
- A lump‑sum cash payment;
- Scheduled installment payments over a defined period;
- A revenue‑share or royalty enhancement up to an aggregate capped amount;
- An equity or profit‑interest grant; or
- A combination of the above,
as specified in a separate written prize agreement between Sponsor and the winning Participant.
7.2 Funding Conditions
Award and payment of any Grand Prize may be subject to:
- Sponsor’s receipt of sufficient funding or insurance coverage;
- Execution of prize documentation, tax forms, and releases;
- Compliance with applicable registration, bonding, or regulatory requirements;
- Institutional approvals where required (e.g., for incarcerated artist Participants).
Sponsor reserves the right to secure prize indemnity insurance or to place funds in escrow, and to condition payment on such arrangements.
7.3 Taxes
All federal, state, local, and foreign taxes and any other costs and expenses associated with acceptance and use of a Grand Prize are solely the responsibility of the winning Participant. Sponsor may be required to issue tax forms (e.g., Form 1099 or foreign equivalents) and may withhold taxes where required by law.
8. Publicity and Use of Name/Content
By participating in the Program and accepting a Grand Prize, Participant agrees that Sponsor may use Participant’s name, business name, logo, likeness (if applicable), city/state, and statements about the Program, along with information regarding Participant’s performance (e.g., leaderboard position, total units), for promotional, advertising, and publicity purposes, in any media now known or later developed, worldwide, without additional compensation, unless prohibited by law or limited by the Partner Agreement.
9. Compliance with Laws and Institutional Rules
Participants are responsible for ensuring that their participation, and Sponsor’s payment of any Grand Prize, complies with:
- All applicable federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations; and
- Any institutional rules or policies that govern their activities (including, but not limited to, correctional facility rules for incarcerated artists).
Sponsor may require written confirmation from relevant institutions or authorities before enrolling or awarding a Grand Prize to certain Participants.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sponsor and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or any lost profits, arising out of or in connection with the Program or any Grand Prize. Sponsor’s total aggregate liability with respect to any Participant shall not exceed the actual value of the Grand Prize, if any, properly owed to that Participant.
11. Modification, Suspension, and Termination
Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion and where permitted by law, to modify, suspend, or terminate any Grand Prize Program or these Terms, in whole or in part, including without limitation if:
- Sponsor’s business circumstances materially change;
- Required regulatory approvals or insurance cannot be obtained on commercially reasonable terms;
- Fraud or technical issues compromise the integrity of the Program.
Any material modification that adversely affects Participants who are already enrolled will be communicated in writing and, where required by law, will not apply retroactively.
12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and the Program will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State designated by Sponsor in the final version of these Terms, without regard to its conflict‑of‑law rules.
Any disputes arising out of or relating to the Program or these Terms shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provision in the applicable Partner Agreement. If no such provision exists, disputes shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the designated state and county, and Participant consents to the jurisdiction of such courts, except where prohibited by law.
13. Entire Agreement and Priority
These Terms, together with the applicable Partner Agreement and any written prize agreement, constitute the entire understanding between Sponsor and Participant with respect to the Program and supersede all prior discussions or understandings on this subject. In the event of conflict:
- Mandatory law and regulatory requirements control;
- Any prize agreement controls as to Grand Prize structure and payment;
- The Partner Agreement controls as to general business relationship;
- These Terms control as to Program mechanics and eligibility.
