40. The following are specifically related to E-contests and E-Mail Club promotions on mix959.com:
    1. All appropriate information in required fields must be entered correctly and completely or you will be disqualified.

    4. Contestants who register to participate on our website may be required to produce a printed copy of proof of registration before being allowed to articipate in the contest.
41. Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests may not be heard at all on Mix 95.9FM. Contests heard on the radio station’s internet audio stream may be 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 on the internet are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means that when Mix 95.9FM contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 9 when you hear the sound effect,” or a contest that requires a specific texter to text a key word to our short code of [Insert short code] or other number specified in the contest, such as “98th person to text “win” to [Insert short code] 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.
42. A copy of these rules is available during business hours at the Mix 95.9FM studios 2294 Clements Ferry Road Charleston, SC 29492 or online at mix959.com/contests.
