If a greater value item is selected, winner is solely responsible for ALL additional costs above the original Jem price.
NOTE: Please DO NOT contact Rich beforehand with "If I win, can I get..." questions.

* Winner is responsible for any tax, customs, import tariff or any other local fees necessary to accept receipt of the guitar not including shipment.

* Any registrants or winners who are NOT members or eligible will be disqualified and refunded.

* Prior contest grand-prize winners are NOT eligible. (Sorry Andy & Paul!)

Prize(s)
* Guitar is NOT returnable for cash or credit.
* Guitar has full warranty as if you'd purchased it brand new. Damage that occurs as a result of shipping will be covered under the carriers insurance, not Ibanez Rules.
* Consolation prizes may be awarded or rescinded and are subject to the same terms as the grand prize. Prizes will be announced in the private forum.
* By sending payment via Pay Pal you agree to terms and conditions and winner declared by Jemsite.com. In the case of any dispute the final decision will be made by Jemsite.com.
* Winner will be chosen by the prearranged SELECTION METHOD according to Jemsite.com. This method will be the same as prior contests.

* Grand prize winners are ineligible for future prizes for 6 months from end of competition.
* Any questions may directed to the private forum or to winajem@optonline.net

"Sounds like a scam and/or the winner will be prearranged" You're obviously not familiar with Jemsite (since 1997) and its upstanding and honest administration. We will gladly put you in touch with two other forum members who are enjoying the Jems they've won in previous contests.

Well, I'd like to help you out, but I've been unceremoniously rejected
due to not being in the freakin' club for 60 days. However, being an
incredible poet, I will entertain you with my latest masterpiece:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I wud like to participate
in this contest wit' U

I say let him in again, I mean ya need one guy to get this going, we got one, and everyones torturing him cause hes 6 days off..

Like kicking a guy when hes down.. No one thought this would get the amount of people it did cause of the entry.. But it went fast why prolong it.

We get him in, and were off and running, and then a new one can form and start it all over again at a new entry price.

(looking at calender) ..... it's only five days now! I'll bet he gets in anyway. I don't hear much chatter about anyone else wanting to get in. Those five days will fly by..... anyway, if he misses this one he can organize or get in on the next one. ;)

These were set from the start and 24 people already entered based on these rules. I know SOME of you feel it's fine, but unless we get 24 'yes, let him in's, i don't feel right doing it. If he wins, not only will there be a lot of whining, but we could get sued.

Besides, it'd take 5 days to get the unanimous response anyway.

If he's in on 8/20, that's just over a month for entry collection. We'll draw within a few days of the last entry, I promise. It's not so bad.

Mr. Snowfall, i assure you this is nothing personal. You seem like a swell guy and I hope you'll be the 25th entry. BTW...that 25th spot was offered to me free of charge, and i declined, so if you enter and win, you're having me over for dinner.
