Vator and the contest organizers have the right, in their sole discretion, to take whatever action they deem appropriate to uphold the integrity and reputation of Vator, the organizer and the competition, including the right to disqualify companies, void votes, or recalculate votes, in the event of, but not limited to, multiple votes from the same user from different IP addresses, or votes considered fraudulent, technical failures, errors or problems occurring with the site and/or Internet services, failure of judges to perform their duties, proxy voting or payment for votes. If we do not receive enough participants, Vator and its partners reserve the right to cancel the competition for lack of interest. But we will provide each participant with one complimentary Basic Admission ticket. This decision will be made by the third week of April.
