Modifications to this policy
Nuke Cops reserves the right to modify this policy at any time without prior notification at our discretion. The responsibility to stay informed of any changes to this policy remains solely on you.
Contests
Nuke Cops may in the operation of the service hold various contest giveaways. Entry requirements include everything within this AUP being satisfied, in addition to being a registered member. Winners will be announced publicly after random drawing and will be contacted via the email address as kept within the Nuke Cops database associated with their accounts. One entry per registered member per contest only. In order for winners to receive their winnings, winners must supply a shipping address no more than 30 days beyond public winner announcement to "zx@nukecops.com". If such is not supplied, another random drawing will be made to find a suitable contestant. Shipment will require on average a $3.50 shipping and handling charge for United States deliveries. International Country winners may need to pay a higher shipping and handling fee. Winners may ask for insuring items prior to shipment. Nuke Cops is not liable for lost or damaged shipments and will not resend second copies. If as a winner you opt out from paying these minor fees, another random drawing will be made for a suitable contestant. Winners agree to allow Nuke Cops to publish their registered member name in formal contest winning announcements. Exact payment will be disclosed after contact with winners are made. Entering the contest does not obligate you to pay any fees, and does not obligate Nuke Cops to send winners their winnings. This is for entertainment purposes only. However, once shipping and handling fees are processed, the winnings shall be shipped immediately.
Notices
Notices to you may be made by email via newsletter, or posted prominently on the Service.
