10. Past experience has confirmed that contests and other competitions generate substantially similar submissions or entries which closely resemble concepts and ideas that have been independently developed by MTVN before or after the Contest. Accordingly, entrants may subsequently see an MTVN presentation which seemingly incorporates an idea or concept or includes materials similar to that contained in their Submissions. Any similarity is purely coincidental and unavoidable in light of the volume of ideas which MTVN routinely considers in the course of its program development. Because of this possibility, contestants hereby agree to submit their Submissions under the following terms and conditions: (i) that MTVN may use any ideas, concepts, material, in whole or in part, contained in a Submission; (ii) that all materials submitted become the property of MTVN and Nokia and will not be returned; (iii) that all materials submitted are free from any lien or claim by anyone, including, but not limited to any union, guild or performance rights society; (iv) Entrants have obtained all rights, permissions and licenses necessary to use the Submissions for any purpose; (v) that no Submission or any part thereof infringes any trademark or copyright or otherwise violates anyone's right of privacy or publicity; and (vi) Entrants indemnify and hold harmless Viacom International Inc., CBS, MTVN, and Nokia from any claims, suits, losses damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise from any breach of the following conditions. All Entrants agree to the foregoing and in addition agree to obtain, upon request of MTVN and/or Nokia any documentation and releases necessary to prove their unrestricted ownership in all materials contained in their Submission and their right to use such materials without limitation for any purpose. They further agree, if chosen as a Weekly Winner or Grand Prize Winner, to assign all right, title and interest in all material and agree to sign such documentation as is necessary to formalize this assignment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Entrants agree that their Submissions may be used by MTVN in whole or in part for any purpose whatsoever without compensation to non-prize winning Entrants.
