1. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION SUBMITTED AND PERSONAL CONSENT. The Submission Form states Your name, address, e-mail address, and other information along with Your submitted content (such submitted content is referred to herein collectively as the “Work”).

Chipotle is under no obligation whatsoever to use or publish the Work in any manner. You understand and agree that none of the materials submitted by You will be returned to You, including the Work and any other submitted material or information. You agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions provided in this Agreement and by Chipotle’s decisions, which will be final in all respects, regarding publication of the Work and any content received from other submitters. You release and hold harmless each Chipotle entity, their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates, their respective successors and assigns, and those acting under their permission, from any and all claims that You may have in connection with Your submission of the Work or other material, Chipotle’s use or publication of such material, or otherwise in connection with the Project. You acknowledge and agree that neither Chipotle nor any other person has made any representation, warranty, or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, in connection with the Project.

By submitting the Work and any other material, You agree to transfer, and do hereby transfer, any and all of Your rights, title, and interests in and to the Work, including but not limited to any and all copyrights, trademark rights, and any and all other rights that may exist, throughout the world, to Chipotle. You agree that Chipotle, as the exclusive owner of all rights in and to the Work, will have the worldwide, perpetual right to copy, display, reproduce, exhibit, edit, modify, assign, license, register for copyrights and trademarks, distribute, sell, and otherwise use and exploit the Work and all elements and/or derivative works thereof, in whole or in part, alone or with other materials, in any media now known or hereafter created or devised, for any reason whatsoever. For clarity, You are expressly prohibited from displaying, publishing, or otherwise using the Work, including without limitation posting the Work on any social networking, user-generated content, or other website or e-mailing the Work to any other person; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 3, You are expressly permitted to use the Work in your résumé, curriculum vitae, portfolio, or other professional history for the purpose of communicating Your past experience and the nature and quality of Your work product. By submitting the Work You expressly waive, to the extent permitted by law, (a) any “moral rights” and “droit moral” You may have in the Work, and (b) any rights You may have in the Work pursuant to the Visual Artist Rights Act or, if applicable, California Civil Code section 987, Massachusetts Gen. Laws Ch. 231, §85S (the Massachusetts Art Preservation Act), or other similar laws, however denominated, throughout the world. You further covenant not to assert or sue Chipotle under such rights or on the basis of any other claim of any proprietary right or interest in the Work.

4. NO PAYMENT OR OTHER COMPENSATION. You understand that Chipotle has no obligation to use or publish the Work in any manner in any media or to pay You any amount at the time of submission. If Chipotle, in its sole discretion, chooses the Work for publication, You may be considered for such promotional consideration, monetary or otherwise, as Chipotle determines to provide in its sole discretion, however, you agree that you have no right to any such consideration. Any consideration which Chipotle determines to award will be the sole and exclusive payment to which You will be entitled under this Agreement, and You will not receive payment of any other amount. For clarity, Chipotle may use the Work in print or other media without any payment to You, regardless of when you submit the Work, and intends to potentially select one or more similar works for use on Chipotle’s product packaging as determined by Chipotle in its sole discretion. If You breach this Agreement for any reason, any cash or other award granted to you will be immediately forfeited.

5. YOUR REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES. You represent and warrant that (a) You are the exclusive owner of the Work and all elements thereof; (b) You have the full power, authority, and right to enter into this Agreement and to grant all of the rights granted herein, including, without limitation, permission(s) from any and all producers or property owners associated with the Work, and/or contributors of intellectual property included in the Work; (c) Chipotle’s use or ownership of the Work as provided for herein will not infringe the rights of any third party, including but not limited to copyrights, trademark rights, “moral rights”, rights of privacy, rights of publicity, and/or any other intellectual property rights; (d) the Work does not defame, disparage, or place in a false light any person or entity; (e) the Work is suitable for use in advertising, is factually substantiated, and is otherwise compliant with applicable advertising laws; (f) the Work is Your fully original creation and the Work has not been previously published or used in any way by any third parties; (g) You will not use Chipotle’s logos, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and/or any other intellectual property of Chipotle for any purpose other than for incorporation into and production of the Work; (h) You have obtained all required executed releases in connection with the Work and you have sent all such releases to the address provided; (i) the Work consists of text only and does not include any graphics, images, photographs, music, or other content other than text; and (j) You are a legal resident of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia who is 14 years of age or older as of the date of entry, and are not an employee, officer, director, or agent of Chipotle or an immediate family member or person living in the same household of such individuals.

6. RESTRICTION ON USE OF CHIPOTLE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. You acknowledge that, other than for the limited purpose of creating the Work, You will not have any right or permission whatsoever to use, transfer, or license, in any way, any of Chipotle’s intellectual property, including but not limited to Chipotle’s logos, trademarks, trade names, and/or copyrights (“Chipotle’s Intellectual Property”), even as Chipotle’s Intellectual Property may be embodied in the Work.

9. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with and will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein without regard to conflict of law principles. All litigation arising from or relating to this Agreement will be initiated and prosecuted exclusively in any court of competent subject matter jurisdiction in Denver, Colorado, and the parties consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts over them and to the convenience of proceeding in such courts. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, You hereby waive and covenant not to assert any right to a trial by jury in any claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise. Any such proceeding will instead be tried by a judge sitting without a jury.

If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited or adjudged by a court to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, such provision will to the extent required be severed from this Agreement and rendered ineffective as far as possible without modifying the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and such provision will not in any way affect any other circumstances or the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.
