POSTING OF ENTRIES:
Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, elect to post one or more video entries on www.southafrica.net.

Entrant further releases and agrees to hold harmless Sponsor from any and all liability associated with possible posting of video entry, including his/her express acknowledgment that if video entry is posted (a) he/she will NOT receive any compensation in conjunction therewith nor will he/she have any right of review or approval relative to same; (b) the video entry as posted on www.southafrica.net may differ from the video entry as submitted by entrant and may not be fully functional at all times, due to technological limitations/malfunctions/errors or other cause; (c) Sponsor may accompany the video entry with comment/commentary and/or other content in its sole discretion; (d) video entries may be displayed on www.southafrica.net in any pattern, sequence or format, and such pattern/sequence/format may or may not be rotated or varied, in Sponsor’s sole discretion; and (e) Sponsor will determine the form/content of attribution of video entry to entrant or may refrain from attributing video entry to entrant altogether, in its sole discretion. Nothing herein obligates Sponsor to post any video entries on www.southafrica.net and Sponsor shall have no liability should it elect not to post a video entry for any reason. A POSTED VIDEO ENTRY REPRESENTS SOLELY THE VIEWS/OPINIONS OF THE INDIVIDUAL ENTRANT WHO CREATED SUCH VIDEO ENTRY AND DOES NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS/OPINIONS OF SPONSOR IN ANY MANNER. SPONSOR IS ACTING AS A PASSIVE CONDUIT FOR THE POSTING OF VIDEO ENTRIES AND HAS NO OBLIGATION TO AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN CONJUNCTION WITH SCREENING, MONITORING OR REVIEWING THE CONTENT OF VIDEO ENTRIES.
