16) The following are specifically related to E-contests and E-Mail Club promotions on www.cool1019.com:
a) All appropriate information in required fields must be filled out or contestants will be disqualified.
b) To be eligible to win a prize, a contestant must reside within the listening area of COOL 101.9/WQQL, as defined within the exclusive discretion of COOL 101.9/WQQL management.

d) Contestants who attempt to register to participate on COOL 101.9/WQQL’s websites may be required to produce a printed copy of proof of registration before being allowed to participate in the contest.
e) 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 WQQL 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 participants who hear the contests
on-air.
17) All giveaways and contests are void where prohibited by law. All local, state and federal regulations apply. As a licensee of the FCC and a trustee of the public airwaves, COOL 101.9/WQQL reserves the right to interrupt and/or discontinue any contest or promotion (and not award the offered prize) at the discretion of COOL 101.9/WQQL management if world events, the national mood, or public safety so warrant. COOL 101.9/WQQL reserves the right to disqualify any winner if the contest rules have been violated in any way. COOL 101.9/WQQL reserves the right to amend the rules to any contest at any time. All decisions of COOL 101.9/WQQL are final.
18) Although COOL 101.9/WQQL will make reasonable efforts to conduct its contests substantially as announced or advertised, COOL 101.9/WQQL reserves the right in extraordinary situations to change or modify the rules of its contests as exigent circumstances may require. In such cases, COOL 101.9/WQQL will amend the rules for that contest and broadcast the amended rules as promptly as possible. In such case, the contest will be conducted in accordance with the amended rules.
19) A copy of these rules are available during business hours at the COOL 101.9/WQQL studios, 3501 E. Sangamon Ave, Springfield, IL 62702 and online at www.cool1019.com.
