It’s summertime and for many it’s a time to be outdoors, go on family vacations, spend time in the sun and eating delicious foods. It’s also a time for taking pictures and capturing those fun family memories. Blue Cross and Blue Shield wants to help celebrate those special moments, while also giving you an opportunity to win a prize at the same time! Every couple of days, we’ll be posting photo prompts based on food and nutrition, movement and activities for you to use, do and share! At the end of the month, every photo shared is an entry to a raffle for a prize and winners will be announced at the end of each month.

  1. GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION. These Official Rules shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the United States Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the State of Illinois (without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof). Each entrant agrees that any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, relating to or connected with this Promotion shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by binding arbitration, which will be conducted in Chicago, Illinois in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties, if possible, and shall be an Illinois resident. If the parties fail to reach agreement upon the appointment of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following receipt by one party of the other party’s notice of desire to arbitrate, the arbitrator shall be selected from a list or lists of persons submitted by the AAA. The selection process shall be that which is set forth in the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules then prevailing, except that if the parties fail to select an arbitrator from one or more lists, AAA shall not have the power to make an appointment but shall continue to submit additional lists until an arbitrator has been selected. Each entrant further agrees that under no circumstances will an entrant be permitted to obtain any punitive, incidental, special, consequential and/or other damages, including, without limitation, lost profits (collectively, “Special Damages”) suffered by an entrant, and each entrant hereby waives all rights to claim Special Damages and all rights to have such damages multiplied or increased. YOU (ENTRANT) AND SPONSOR EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.  IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU (ENTRANT) AND SPONSOR EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
  1. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of these Official Rules is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision will be deemed modified in such manner as to render such provision valid, legal, and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law in such jurisdiction. The remaining provisions of these Official Rules shall not be affected thereby, and shall continue in full force and effect.
