SELECTION CRITERIA: KTLA will review submissions to select up
to nine people to participate in the next stage of Creep or Keep (the “Featured
Participants”). KTLA will select the “Featured Participants” based on, among
other things, its determination of which participants offer the best potential
for interesting television viewing and the estimated extent to which the
individuals will engage an audience and their potential “date.” Selection is in
the sole discretion of KTLA and is determined by neither luck nor skill.
VERIFICATION: KTLA will attempt to contact the Featured
Participants in accordance with the information supplied to KTLA with the
submission. Featured Participant must respond to initial notification within 12
hours and may be required to present valid photo ID, signed affidavit or
declaration of eligibility, liability release, publicity release, tax forms or
other legal documents to KTLA after initial notification by any deadlines set
by KTLA. Featured Participants must also be willing to undergo a background
check if requested. If any Featured Participant: (a) cannot be contacted
directly by, or does not respond to, KTLA within 6 hours of initial attempted
notification, (b) fails to satisfy any eligibility or verification requirement
herein, (c) declines to participate in Creep or Keep, (d) does not provide any
required documents by the deadlines, or (e) is otherwise determined to be
ineligible, KTLA in its discretion may disqualify that individual and, select an
alternate Featured Participant. By participating in the Program, all entrants
acknowledge compliance with and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions
and the decisions of KTLA, which are final in all respects.
DATES AND MATES: All nine Featured Participants will be
required to come to KTLA by no later than May 6, 2016 to film short individual
profile videos (the “Profiles”), which may be posted to KTLA.com and KTLA’s
social media accounts. Of the nine Featured Participants, three will be designated
“daters,” and six will be designated “potential mates.” The nine Featured
Participants will be divided into three groups (one dater and two potential
mates in each) to go on short dates (approximately 10 minutes each) on May 9,
10 or 11, 2016 in which each dater will go out with each of his or her
potential mates (the “Dates”). The Dates will be recorded for potential
broadcast on KTLA and posting on KTLA.com and on KTLA’s social media accounts.
During the Profiles and Dates, all Featured Participants must wear a disguise (to
be supplied by KTLA) and cannot remove the disguise while in the presence of
the dater or potential mate, as the case may be. The dater will pick his or her
potential mate based on which one he or she liked the best. Each Featured
Participant may be requested to do one final, short interview prior to the
first Final Reveal (as defined below) on May 11, 2016 (the “Final Interview”).
The Final Interview will be filmed and may be broadcast on KTLA and posted on
KTLA.com and on KTLA’s social media accounts. The Featured Participant will not
be required to wear a disguise for the Final Interview.
FINAL REVEAL: KTLA will hold final reveals on the KTLA
5 Morning News on May 16, 18 and 20, 2016 (the “Final Reveals”) between 4:00
a.m. and 10:00 a.m. PT. Certain Featured Participants will be invited to
participate in the Final Reveals—one dater and one potential mate for each of
the three groups. During each Final Reveal, which may be broadcast live or on
tape by KTLA and may be posted on KTLA.com and on KTLA’s social media accounts,
the Featured Participants will finally see each other without any disguises.
KTLA will attempt to give each Featured Participant approximately 72 hours
advance notice of the Final Reveal, and Featured Participant must arrive at the
station by no later than 5:00 a.m. PT on the date of the Final Reveal. If
Featured Participant is unavailable on the designated date or late for the
Final Reveal, Featured Participant will not be able to participate in the Final
Reveal and will not receive a hotel stay and dining certificate as set forth
below. If KTLA cancels the Final Reveal, KTLA will attempt to reschedule but
cannot guarantee that there will be an open date on the calendar. The
opportunity to appear on the KTLA 5 Morning News is not an offer of employment,
and Featured Participant represents and warrants that his or her appearance on
the KTLA 5 Morning News will not violate any union or guild agreement. The
Featured Participants agree to comply with and conform to generally accepted
broadcast standards with regard to conduct, dress and language during their
appearances on KTLA-TV, and such compliance will be determined by KTLA staff in
their sole discretion. KTLA reserves the right to reschedule the date of any
Final Reveal because of breaking news, technical problems or unforeseen
scheduling conflicts. KTLA reserves the right to conduct the Final Reveals
without broadcasting them on television, or to record the Final Reveals and
broadcast them on a later date.
HOTEL STAY AND DINING: Each Featured Participant will
receive accommodations for at least one person for one night at a hotel of KTLA’s
choosing, as well as an associated certificate or credit for dining at an
establishment near the chosen hotel. Each Featured Participant is responsible
for any applicable fees, federal, state/provincial and local taxes, if any, and
any other unspecified expenses associated with acceptance or use of the hotel
stay and dining certificate. Hotel accommodations are subject to availability
and must be used by May 1, 2017 (unless otherwise indicated on a printed
certificate).
