The Top 20 will be notified within three days that they have won an invitation to participate in the live event (the “Event”). If a bar/restaurant within the Top 20 declines the Event, the Nominee with the next most votes will be invited to participate in their place in the Top 20 and will be offered the Event. There will be up to 20 bars/restaurants that will be offered the Event. Any Nominees who tie for the 20th most votes will be offered the Event. A list of the Top 20 will be posted at timeout.com/chicago on or before August 1, 2016.
Those Top 20 who accept the Prize will be required to execute forms releasing Sponsor and Guinness [DGUSA – 530 5th Ave, NY, NY 10036], and their employees, parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, from any liability prior to receiving inclusion at the Event. There is no obligation for participants to use Guinness as an ingredient and no obligation for them to purchase Guinness to participate in the event. Their acceptance of the Event constitutes permission to use their name and likeness for purpose of advertising and promotion on behalf of Sponsor without compensation. All federal, state, and other tax liabilities arising from the award of the Event to the Top 20 will be the responsibility of those accepting the event and not Sponsor.
