• Intel is not responsible for incorrect or inaccurate member information, whether caused by you or any other persons or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the program.
• The membership to each of these levels is valid for 12 months from the membership start date to that level. All rewards are subject to availability and they may change at any time.     
  
  
• Points cannot be applied to the membership level until credited to the contribution account. We are not responsible for a failure, delay or error of points to be credited. If contribution points are not credited, you may contact us by writing to us at isn.support@intel.com.
• Points expire, if the relevant contribution account is closed or the Intel® Black Belt Software Developer program ends.
• A Member who continues to contribute and to collect points will be able to review the membership status and the points status online in the contribution account/ user profile.
• Points and membership status can only be earned, held, transferred or redeemed as set out in these rules. Any other use, award, sale, exchange or transfer of points or membership status, or attempt to do so, is a serious breach of these rules. Any points not earned and held in accordance with these rules will be invalid and cannot be redeemed for rewards.   
  
  
• If you no longer meet the minimum required criteria for your current membership level, you will not re-qualify for your current membership status, and you will be re-assigned or downgraded to the appropriate qualifying tier of membership without notice. You will still be required to meet the downgraded level's requirements. Your contribution account will be updated accordingly.
• You may be required to sign and return releases of liability, declarations of eligibility, and where lawful, publicity consent agreements, within five (5) days of acknowledged notification of prizes and rewards. If a member cannot be contacted, is ineligible (under these rules or due to a failure to comply with any of the other applicable policies, licenses, rules, and terms of service, fails to claim a prize, or fails to timely return the completed and executed releases/agreements as required), prizes and rewards may be forfeited, at Intel's discretion. Physical prizes awarded for the winning entries will be sent to developers within six (6) weeks from the date of the notification email or confirmation of the winning developer's physical address, whichever is later.
• Prizes and rewards are personal to the developer submitting the contributions and achieving a particular membership level and cannot normally be transferred. All prizes and rewards are subject to availability and they may change at any time. Intel may award substitute prizes and rewards of equal or greater value.
• The developer accepts responsibility for all federal, state and local taxes and fees in connection with the prizes and rewards. The developer shall be solely responsible to obtain all permissions and authorizations to collect and receive the prize in accordance with the laws of the developer's country of residence. This program is void where prohibited or restricted by law, and subject to applicable federal, state provincial and local laws. If the developer is a resident of a country in Latin America, cash prizes will be replaced by goods and/or services of equal value in Intel's sole discretion.
• Intel does not provide any warranty on the prizes and rewards. To the fullest extent allowable by law, Intel specifically disclaims any representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the prizes and rewards, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and implied warranties arising from course of dealing or course of performance.
• We may, on notifying you, immediately suspend or terminate your membership, if you breach these rules or if we reasonably believe that you have submitted a contribution in violation of these rules.
• Intel reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate the program at any time for any reason. In this case, your contribution account will be terminated or suspended.     
  
  
• You can withdraw your contribution at any time by notifying us. If a contribution is withdrawn your rights to a membership level benefit are lost.
• These rules apply to your contributions, your membership level, including the benefits, and the resources, unless we provide any items to you under more specific terms, in which case those more specific terms will apply to the relevant items. We may make changes to these rules at any time without notice to you. The most current version of the rules will be provided to the developer with the invitation and it can be requested by email at any time. Contributing to the program or accepting prizes and rewards will constitute acceptance of the revised rules.
• Our only responsibilities with respect to the Intel® Black Belt Software Developer program are set out in these rules which are subject to the laws of Delaware. We will only be liable to a member who suffers loss as a result of our breach of these rules and, if so, our sole liability will be to credit to the relevant contribution account any points which have been wrongly deducted or should have been credited but were not. These Rules prevail in the event of any conflict or inconsistency with any other communications, including advertising or promotional materials.
• You can contact us by logging onto the Intel Software Network web-site. For any feedback on the level of your membership, the program or accumulated points participants can contact Intel by writing to us at isn.support@intel.com.
• If Intel improperly denies you any prizes, rewards or points, Intel's entire liability and your sole and exclusive remedy will be limited to a distribution of the equivalent amount of prizes, rewards and points as set forth above. By participating in the program, you waive any and all rights to bring any claim or action related to such matters in any forum beyond one (1) year after the first occurrence of the kind of act, event, condition or omission upon which the claim or action is based.
• Intel does not personally verify or endorse the contributions that are submitted. Intel is not responsible for the use of any contributions nor does Intel guarantee that the contribution is legally sharable, virus free, or free of errors. Under no circumstances will Intel be liable for any such contribution, including, but not limited to, any claims, errors or omissions, or damages of any kind.
