16. Pulse 101.7 KPUL-FM 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 Pulse 101.7 KPUL-FM’s control.
17. The following are specifically related to E-contests and E-Mail Club promotions on Pulse1017.com:
a. All appropriate information in required fields must be filled out correctly and completely or you will be disqualified.

d. 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.
e. Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests may not be heard at all. 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 are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means that when Pulse 101.7 KPUL-FM contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 10 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.
18. A copy of these rules are available during business hours at the Pulse 101.7 KPUL-FM studios 33365 335th Street, Waukee, IA 50263.
