Five (5) potential Reader Expert Panel product reviewers will be selected
each month based on their short writing samples, evaluated by the editors of SEEK
FIRST, and will be notified by email and/or telephone. If a potential product
reviewer cannot be contacted, does not respond within five (5) days, or
products to be reviewed are returned as undeliverable, such potential product
reviewer forfeits all rights to participate in the promotion, and an alternate
Reader Expert Panel member may be selected. All decisions of the editors are
final and binding in all respects. Reader Expert Panel members will be permitted
to keep the products they have reviewed, which will vary in retail value.
Income and other taxes, if any, are the sole responsibility of the winner.
