The term "You" or "you" refers to any user or visitor of the website.
BenselsPencils.com has been established by Network Solutions as a website where you can submit an original drawing (the "Drawing") and vote on drawings (a "Vote") that have been submitted. For purposes of the website and these Terms of Use a Drawing or a Vote is considered Content on the website.
You may submit a Drawing and/or a Vote on a Drawing on the website. Drawings may be submitted from March 22, 2010 to April 2, 2010. The Drawing that receives the most votes from the visitors to the website between March 22, 2010 and April 9, 2010 will receive designation as highest vote recipient on the website (the "Best Drawing"). The individual who submits the Best Drawing shall qualify to have Network Solutions make a donation on such individual's behalf in the amount of up to $10,000 to the March of Dimes National Capital Area Chapter (http://www.marchofdimes.com/marylandmetrodc/) (the "Drawing Winner"). The process for such a donation will be that Network Solutions will donate $10,000 to March of Dimes National Capital Area Chapter, and the Drawing Winner can then claim $1.00/vote of that donation for his/her March for Baby team up to $10,000. The $1/vote claim will be calculated by the number of total votes that were submitted on the website for the Best Drawing. Network Solutions will make the entire donation directly to the March of Dimes National Capital Area Chapter.
The Drawing Winner will be announced by Network Solutions on April 14, 2010. To the extent that there is a tie in the number of highest votes that are received for more than one Drawing that was submitted on the website, the Drawings that all received the most votes will be posted on Twitter by Network Solutions and the first three tweets voting for one of the Drawings will determine the Drawing Winner.
