By accepting the prize, the winners agree that Sponsor, Related Entities, all prize providers, and their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees will have no liability or responsibility for any injuries, losses, or damages of any kind resulting from participation in the contest and/or the acceptance, possession, or use of any prize, and they will be held harmless against any claims of liability arising directly or indirectly from participation in the content and/or the prize
