Terms & Conditions
CONTEST TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Submission Fee & Scope of Service
By submitting your music and remitting the associated fee, you are engaging WhozFire LLC ("WhozFire") for the limited purpose of having your submission reviewed by our internal curation team. This fee constitutes consideration for a service rendered—namely, evaluation of your music for potential inclusion in a WhozFire competition. This is not a guarantee of placement, advancement, or prize eligibility.
2. Review and Selection Criteria
WhozFire's internal review committee evaluates all submissions based on artistic merit, originality, brand alignment, and production quality. Determinations are made at the sole and absolute discretion of WhozFire and its agents. Criteria are subjective and may vary depending on the format, demographic targeting, or theme of a given tournament.
3. Communication of Results
Artists whose submissions are not deemed suitable for the competition will receive notification to that effect via the contact information provided at the time of submission. Lack of placement does not constitute a reflection on artistic merit and does not entitle the artist to a refund or reconsideration.
4. No Refund Policy
All submission fees are strictly non-refundable. This includes, but is not limited to, circumstances wherein an artist is not selected, is disqualified, or is removed from the competition.
5. Legal Acknowledgement
By submitting your music, you expressly acknowledge, represent, and warrant that you are authorized to bind yourself (or your business entity, if applicable) to these terms, and that you have read and agreed to all provisions set forth herein and in the full WhozFire Terms & Conditions.
