Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, especially if you are a student but also for any other designer, you always retain the right (including during such ninety (90) day period) to include details of the Design in your personal portfolio for purposes of securing employment. Once the ninety (90) days have passed, even if your Design has not been selected as the winner by Brikk, Brikk may still choose to continue to use your Design for marketing purposes (e.g., on its Platform or on television, or in email or printed media) pursuant to the license granted above; however, you are free to use the Design for any commercial or non-commercial purpose and to request that Brikk stop using the Design by notifying Brikk by email at community@brikk.co. Following receipt of your notice, Brikk will remove your Design all of its marketing materials in a reasonably timely manner; however, you acknowledge and agree that Brikk is not obligated to remove Designs from, and retains a limited right to use the Designs in, its existing marketing materials, including without limitation where such removal would be impractical (such as in print media that has already been distributed). In addition, if your Design is to be used elsewhere, you cannot use the Brikk web community (the "Community") to promote the Design or the person or entity using the Design. You further agree not to use the Community to promote the products and/or services of any person or entity that operates in competition, directly or indirectly, with Brikk, as determined in Brikk’s sole discretion. Brikk reserves the right to choose your Design as the winner even after the ninety (90) day evaluation period has passed, on the condition that the Design has not yet been used for commercial purposes.
Winner Selection
There will be 3 potential winners (1 primary winner and 2 runners-up) in this Challenge. Brikk will pick in its sole discretion the top winning entry, including the overall winning Design, in its sole discretion based on the criteria set forth below. In selecting the winning entry, Brikk will take into consideration ratings and comments provided by its industry partners and jury members in connection with the Designs. Brikk Platform users may also view, rate and provide comments on a Design for the period of time designated on the Challenge web page following the submission and acceptance of a Design. Brikk will also consider, among other things: (i) judging criteria listed on the Challenge, (iI) feasibility of the Design and/or (iii) marketability. Awards are contingent upon the recipient signing an Affidavit of Eligibility, assignment and other documentation relating to the Prize (as defined below) that will be sent via email ("Award Agreement"). The Award Agreement must be returned to Brikk within 48 hours in order for the recipient to be officially recognized. If the winner is unable to accept the Prize, or if the winner does not return the signed Award Agreement within 48 hours after Brikk's emailing of the same, Brikk may automatically disqualify the winner and may select another winner in accordance with this Section. Among other things, the winner must agree to grant Brikk permission to use his/her name, photograph, and likeness for advertising and promotion of this and similar promotions and/or the Brikk's products or services without additional compensation, unless prohibited by law; and the winner must sign any applicable forms required by tax authorities. A Prize will only be awarded to a winner if he/she complies with all of these Challenge Submission Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement.
Selected Design
If your Design is selected as a winning entry by Brikk (a "Selected Design") and in consideration for a Prize awarded to you by Brikk pursuant to these Challenge Submission Terms and Conditions, you hereby assign and agree to assign to Brikk all right, title, and interest (including any and all intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world) in and to such Selected Design, and every part or piece thereof. You shall assist Brikk, at Brikk's expense, to further evidence, record, and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights assigned. You hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Brikk as your agent and attorneys-in-fact to act for and in your behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by you. To the extent allowed by law, this Section and any license or grant to Brikk hereunder includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as moral rights, artist's rights, moral rights or the like. To the extent any of the foregoing is ineffective under applicable law, you hereby provide any and all ratification and consents necessary to accomplish the purposes of the foregoing to the extent possible, including without limitation the grant of any exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, full-transferable licenses that give rights comparable to ownership by Brikk. You will confirm any such ratification and consents from time to time as requested by Brikk.

For the sake of clarity, if your Design is selected as a winning entry, you may no longer use, or allow others to use, such Design in any capacity except for listing the Selected Design as your work and as a winning entry as part of your professional portfolio. In addition, if applicable, Brikk may expect to, but is not obligated to, choose one of the Selected Designs as the basis for manufacturing a product; however, if it does choose one of the Selected Designs for that purpose, then Brikk [will award you the prize indicated in the Project Brief according to your placement in the Challenge]. You also agree to make yourself available to Brikk, upon reasonable request and at no additional charge, to answer questions about your Selected Design and to assist Brikk, at its sole discretion, with the production process of the product.
If you work (or have worked) for a company who might claim an interest in the Design, you promise to consult the company's legal counsel as to any restriction or ownership that company might have on your designs so that you might legally assign your Design to Brikk as described above.
