  1. No purchase is necessary to participate/win.
  2. To be a member of The Loyal Listener Club, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate.
  3. You must live within the immediate local broadcast area of WXCY-FM as defined by Arbitron TSA to participate/win. In the event that a winner comes from outside the local area, the prize will be awarded to the next highest local bidder.  
  4. New Loyal Listener Club participants will receive a one-time bonus of 600 points just for registering.
  5. One Loyal Listener Club account per person.  Anyone found to have multiple accounts will have ALL of their accounts deleted.
  6. Bonus point keywords will be given on-air, at live broadcasts and station appearances, and via other activities as part of the promotion. You must be present at on site locations to receive your keyword  and/or points. Different keywords will have different point values.  Keywords must be entered into your Loyal Listener Club account by 11:59pm on the day following the announcement of that keyword to receive the points associated with that keyword.
  7. Loyal Listener Club players are fully responsible for retrieving keywords at the appointed times and/or locations and entering keywords into their accounts, with no exceptions.  WXCY is not responsible for distractions, missed words, misunderstandings, acts of nature, or events outside of our control which may cause a player to miss a keyword or not enter a keyword into their account by the keyword deadline.
  8. Any person found to be cheating in any way will be terminated from the program without notice.
  9. Guessing: Anyone found to be guessing keywords, or randomly entering words into the system, will be eliminated from play for that day.  He/she will be permitted to play the following day.  Any player found to be guessing a word prior to its public release will lose the points for that keyword.  A second violation will result in the deletion of that player's account.
  10. All points are calculated and monitored by WXCY.  The electronic point totals in our files are final.
  11. Merchandise is awarded based on a bidding system.  The merchandise will be auctioned off for the highest amount of points bid in a given time while an online auction is underway.  WXCY studio clocks will be the only time recognized for auction start and end times.  Once verified by WXCY, winning bidders will be notified via email.
  12. Only the actual account holder may place a bid during an auction (i.e., you may not have a friend or spouse make a bid from your account using your points).
  13. When you place a bid on an item, a hold will be placed on your account for the amount of the bid.  Those points will remain on hold and unavailable for other bids until you are either outbid or the auction is settled.  If your bid is not the winning bid, the points of the non-winning bid will be fully available for use in the next auction. All bids are final - bids cannot be removed or changed. Be sure to doublecheck the item you are bidding on and the value of your bid before submitting a bid. Winners will be notified by e mail and you'll be informed of pick up or mailing procedures.  In the event that your prize is mailed, for your convenience, WXCY is not responsible for lost, mis-routed or damaged prizes.
  14. Some auction items will be multiple items, meaning that there is more than one copy of that item to be bid on.  Multiple item auctions will include language in their description to the effect of, There are x copies of this item up for bid.  The top x bidders will each win a copy where x is the number of items available.  Although there are multiple copies of the item available, all prizes are limited to one per bidder, meaning you may not place more than one bid, in the hopes of winning more than one copy. At the end of an Auction, if there are players with the same bid amount eligible for the prize, the player(s) who placed their bid(s) first will be among the winners.
  15. Two times per year, WXCY will close the current auction series followed by a time period of one week where the Loyal Listener Club will be shut down.This will occur during the week of the 4th of July and again the week between Christmas and the New Year. At that time, all accounts will revert back to a base of 600 points, and a new auction series will begin. WXCY will announce the pending close of a current auction series on air and/or by e mail at least 3 weeks prior to the close of that series.
  16. Loyal Listener Club households may only claim one grand prize item (valued at over $500.00) in any 12 month period. Loyal Listeners may only win one prize per household per auction. Loyal Listener Club members accumulating $600 or more in merchandise and/or services in any calendar year will receive a 1099 form at the end of the year for tax purposes.
  17. Unless otherwise noted in the description of the item, all prizes must be picked up by the winner at WXCY's studios at 707 Revolution St., Havre de Grace, MD, 21078, on Thursdays between the hours of 1pm to 5pm. If you absolutely cannot make it between those times, you must call 410-939-1100 to schedule an appointment to pick up your prize.  A picture ID is required for identification.  The address on your picture ID MUST match the address you provide WXCY under your user account.  WXCY will not release a prize if the addresses do not match.  Any items unclaimed for 14 days revert back to the Loyal Listener Club program.
  18. Employees, agents, successors, assignees, advertising agencies, promotional companies, immediate family members, household members, sponsors, agents, affiliates, parent companies, vendors, suppliers of WXCY, Delmarva Broadcasting Company, and others acting on their behalf, shall be ineligible to participate/win.
