(2) Voluntary Participation: Participation in a promotion is voluntary. Acceptance of any promotional reward, giveaway, or other item of value offered in a promotion is voluntary. Promotions that require persons to compete with other persons, play games, or complete tasks, or any similar activities carry a risk of personal injury or death. Participation is at the person’s own risk. The State of Oregon, its agents, officers, and employees and the Oregon State Lottery Commission and the Oregon State Lottery, its agents, officers, and employees, are not liable for any personal injury, loss, or consequential damage arising from, related to, or caused by a person’s participation in any promotion. Possession, use, or participation in any activity resulting from the acceptance of a promotional reward, giveaway, or other item of value awarded to a person by the Lottery carry a risk of personal injury or death. Such acceptance is at the person’s own risk. The State of Oregon, its agents, officers, and employees and the Oregon State Lottery Commission and the Oregon State Lottery, its agents, officers, and employees, are not liable for any personal injury, loss, or consequential damage arising from, related to, or caused by a person’s acceptance of any promotional reward, giveaway, or other item of value awarded to the person by the Lottery. (3) Disputes: In the event a person disagrees with the Lottery’s determination that the person is not eligible to participate in a promotion, or has not complied with the terms and conditions of a promotion, and therefore should not receive a promotional reward, giveaway, or any other item of value offered by the Lottery, the Lottery’s determination is final. At the sole discretion of the Lottery, and if the person is eligible, the Lottery may provide the person with the opportunity to enter another promotion, or may provide the person a ticket or share from any current Lottery game. This is the person’s sole and exclusive remedy. Statutory/Other Authority: OR Const. Art.
