Any Video submission that constitutes or contains an endorsement or opinion about TopDog or its services must: (a) reflect the Entrant's honest, genuine opinion; (b) clearly and conspicuously disclose the material connection between the Entrant and TopDog (i.e., that the Entrant submitted the Video as part of a contest for a chance to win a prize); and (c) not make any claims about TopDog's services that are not substantiated by actual, verifiable experience.

3.3 Social Media Disclosures

Every Video posted on Instagram in connection with this Contest must include, in the caption or on-screen, all of the following disclosures: (i) the hashtag #topdoglawchallenge; (ii) a clear and conspicuous disclosure of the Entrant's material connection to TopDog, such as #Contest #Ad or equivalent plain-language disclosure (e.g., "This is a sponsored contest entry"); and (iii) the attorney advertising disclaimer set forth in Section 3.4. TopDog's failure to enforce this requirement as to any particular Entrant shall not constitute a waiver of this requirement as to any other Entrant.

3.4 Required Content Disclosures

All Video submissions must include or be accompanied by the following disclosures as required by applicable attorney advertising rules:

• A clear and conspicuous statement that the Video was submitted in connection with a sponsored contest conducted by TopDog.
• The following disclaimer must be displayed clearly on-screen for no fewer than three (3) seconds and spoken in the Video: "Attorney Advertising. TopDog Law, P.A.

TopDog shall have no obligation to obtain music licenses on behalf of any Entrant, and any Video containing unlicensed third-party music will be disqualified.

4.1 Swag Box Prize Winners

The first five hundred (500) Entrants in this Contest that submit qualifying Videos will each receive one (1) Swag Box Prize (as described below) (each a "Swag Box Prize Winner"). Each potential Swag Box Prize Winner will be notified of winning within fourteen (14) days of entry via email at the email address provided in the Entrant's entry form. TopDog is required to send only one (1) notification email. Notification shall be deemed to have occurred immediately upon transmission by TopDog. TopDog reserves the right, but not the obligation, to attempt additional contact via telephone or other means, in its sole discretion. If a potential Swag Box Prize Winner cannot be contacted, or if TopDog does not receive a response within fourteen (14) days of entry of notification, the Swag Box Prize will be forfeited. If a potential Swag Box Prize Winner fails to verify their personal information, including name, date of birth and state of residency, or complete and submit all documents required by TopDog within five (5) business days of notification, the Swag Box Prize will be forfeited. Forfeited Swag Box Prizes will not be re-awarded.

4.3 Grand Prize Winner Selection

The Grand Prize Winner shall win the one (1) Grand Prize (as described below). In the event that no Video submission meets TopDog's criteria for the Grand Prize, TopDog reserves the right to not award the Grand Prize to any Entrant. Because this Contest involves skill-based judging, it is not a lottery or sweepstakes, and odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on the number of eligible entries received and the relative quality thereof.

4.5 Grand Prize Winner Employment Status

The Grand Prize Winner will be engaged by TopDog as a temporary, part-time independent contractor solely for purposes of participating in the production of the Commercial. As such, the Grand Prize Winner:

• Failure to maintain communication with TopDog, as reasonably required.
• Failure to comply with all applicable attorney advertising rules or these Contest Rules during production of the Commercial.
• Misconduct or violation of TopDog's applicable company policies.
• Any other lawful reason that TopDog reasonably considers just cause for terminating the Grand Prize Winner's relationship with TopDog.
