​

In the event the winner is subject to or the subject of any order or legal process issued by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the affairs of the winner (i.e. garnishment, child support order, judgment, lien, and the like), Radio Dabang’s delivery of the prize to the official representative of the governmental entity claiming a right to the prize shall be thus deemed as Radio Dabang awarding the prize to the winner. Radio Dabang shall be entitled to rely in good faith, upon any documents presented by the representative seeking to collect the prize in lieu of the winner. Radio Dabang shall not be liable for any claim by any winner for damages incidental thereto.

​

Radio Dabang’s decision is always final.

The person operating the telephone at Radio Dabang has the final decision as to who is the winning caller. Radio Dabang shall have no responsibility for contestant’s inability or failure to participate, failure to win or claim any prize based on malfunction or difficulties with telephone, cell phone, texting, email, or internet access, or any other circumstances in any contest beyond Radio Dabang’s control.

​

For any contest involving on-line voting: If an entrant receives irregular votes, including but not limited to, votes generated by a robotic, programmed, script, macro, or other automated means, Radio Dabang reserves the right to disqualify the entrant in its sole discretion and/or use another means to determine the winner(s), ex. – random selection or appointing a panel of judges.

​

The following are specifically related to online content, E-contests, and E-Mail Club promotions on RadioDabang.com or the Radio Dabang mobile app:

​

All appropriate information in required fields must be entered correctly and completely or you will be disqualified. To win a prize you must reside within the listening area of Radio Dabang as defined at the exclusive discretion of Radio Dabang management or be actively using the Radio Dabang mobile app.

​

Any problems with the internet or email are not Radio Dabang’s responsibility.

​

Contestants who register to participate on our website may be required to produce a printed copy of proof of registration before being allowed to participate in the contest.

​

Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests may not be heard at all on Radio Dabang. Contests heard on the radio station’s internet audio stream may be slightly delayed from the time the contests are heard on the broadcast station, and will be running behind the broadcast signal. Thus, all contests heard on the internet are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means that when Radio Dabang contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 9 when you hear the sound effect”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air.

​

A copy of these rules is available during business hours at the Radio Dabang studios 6161 Savoy Dr #910, Houston, TX 77036
