entries which closely resemble concepts and ideas that have been independently developed by any one or more of
the Contest Entities before or after the Contest. Accordingly, entrants may subsequently see a presentation by any
one or more of the Contest Entities which seemingly incorporates an idea or concept or includes materials similar
to that contained in their entries. Any similarity is purely coincidental and unavoidable in light of the volume of
ideas which the Contest Entities routinely consider in the course of their business. Because of this possibility,

Entities may use any ideas, concepts, material, in whole or in part, contained in an entry, (ii) that all physical
