(iii) the Contest is subject to these Official Rules and you agree to comply with
these Official Rules. Idea Submissions that do not comply with these Official

11:59 PM GMT in order to be considered for advancement to the Demo Submission
(Round 2) period described in Section 5D of these Official Rules.
B. JUDGING OF IDEA SUBMISSIONS FOR POSSIBLE ADVANCEMENT TO
ROUND 2. For each of the four (4) Entry Sites, a panel of qualified judges (determined
by Sponsor and the Participating Partner of that Entry Site in their sole discretion) will
select up to one hundred twenty-five (125) highest-scoring Idea Submissions (subject to
the Platform allocations and Category minimums described below) from among all
eligible Idea Submissions received at that Entry Site during Round 1 in all six (6)
Categories (each an “Accepted Idea Submission,” and the entrant who submitted an
Accepted Idea Submission is a selected “Finalist”) based on application of the following
Idea Submission Judging Criteria:
(i) How effectively does the Idea Submission demonstrate innovation and user
experience? (up to 50 points);
July 18, 2013
-7-
legal/41541284_1
(ii) How effectively does the Idea Submission demonstrate usage of key technical
enabling vectors? (up to 40 points);
(iii) How viable is the Idea Submission for the Category in which it was
submitted? (up to 30 points); and
(iv) How effectively does the Idea Submission describe the proposed application?
(up to 20 points).
As indicated above, for each of the four (4) Entry Sites, up to one hundred twenty-five
(125) Accepted Idea Submissions will be selected subject to the following allocations and
Category minimums:
From each Entry Site, fifty (50) of the Accepted Idea Submissions must be entries
submitted in the AIO Platform Demo App Categories subject to the following:
(a) at least fifteen (15) of these Accepted Idea Submissions must be entries in the
Games Category; and (b) at least fifteen (15) of these Accepted Idea Submissions
must be entries in the Entertainment Category; and
From each Entry Site, seventy-five (75) of the Accepted Idea Submissions must
be entries submitted in the Tablet Platform Demo App Categories subject to the
following: (a) at least ten (10) of these Accepted Idea Submissions must be
entries in the Education Category; (b) at least ten (10) of these Accepted Idea
Submissions must be entries in the Healthcare Category; (c) at least five (5) of
these Accepted Idea Submissions must be entries in the Finance Category; and (d)
at least five (5) of these Accepted Idea Submissions must be entries in the Retail
Category.
To be clear, there will not be an equal number of selected Finalists in each of the six (6)
Categories because of the above Platform allocations and Category minimums.
In addition, an entrant's Idea Submission must score at least seventy (70) points or greater
for the Idea Submission to be eligible to be (and deemed) an Accepted Idea Submission.
In the event of a tie (or multiple ties) that impact the selection of the one hundred twenty-
five (125) Idea Submissions selected as Accepted Idea Submissions from an Entry Site,
the tied entrant whose Idea Submission received the higher score for criteria (i) above, as
determined by the qualified judges in their sole discretion, will be deemed a Finalist (and
that entry will be an Accepted Idea Submission). In the event of a continued tie, the still-
tied entrant whose Idea Submission is deemed to be the most marketable, as determined
by the qualified judges in their sole discretion, will be deemed a Finalist (and that entry
will be an Accepted Idea Submission). Sponsor and each Participating Partner reserve the
right to select fewer than one hundred twenty-five (125) Idea Submissions as Accepted
Idea Submissions from among entries received via that Participating Partner’s Entry Site
if (i) an insufficient number of such Idea Submissions meet the scoring threshold
described above; (ii) an insufficient number of eligible Idea Submissions are received;
and/or (iii) in their sole discretion, if an insufficient number of such Idea Submissions
July 18, 2013
-8-
legal/41541284_1
meet the Guidelines and Restrictions (as defined and described) in Section 6 of these
Official Rules). The judging of an Idea Submission will commence promptly after it is
submitted.
Since there are four (4) separate Entry Sites (where, pursuant to the above, there may be
up to one hundred twenty-five (125) Accepted Idea Submissions selected per Entry Site),
there may be up to five hundred (500) Idea Submissions (across all Entry Sites) that are
selected as Accepted Idea Submissions to advance to Round 2.
The odds of being selected to become a Finalist and move on to participate in Round 2 of
the Contest will depend on a combination of: (i) the total number of eligible Idea
Submissions received in each Category during the Idea Submission (Round 1) period; and
(ii) the score the Idea Submission receives by the judges in accordance with the Judging
Criteria outlined above.
Each selected Finalist will receive an email notification from Administrator or the
Applicable Participating Partner advising him/her that he/she has been selected as a
Finalist. Please check your email and spam filters. Such notice will (i) indicate that the
selected Finalist has the opportunity to participate in Round 2 of the Contest; and (ii)
identify which Idea Submission(s) submitted by the Finalist are Accepted Idea
Submissions eligible for Round 2.
C. FULFILLMENT OF LOANER DEVICES TO FINALISTS. Depending upon which
Category a Finalist’s Accepted Idea Submission falls within, Sponsor (or its designee)
will send each Finalist (or its authorized representative) a loaner device (AIO, Tablet or
both if entrant is a Finalist in both an AIO and Tablet Category, as applicable) (each a
“Loaner Device”) for temporary use to assist with the creation of the Demo Submission
(as defined in Section 5D of these Official Rules) subject to the following:
(i) The Loaner Device is subject to the terms and conditions set forth at
(http://aic2013.intel.com/static/docs/developer_system_loan.pdf);
(ii) selected Finalist must agree to and accept the above online terms and
conditions and provide his/her complete mailing address to which Loaner Device
will be sent; if Finalist does not consent to the terms and conditions of the
agreement, the Finalist may continue in the Contest and will merely not receive
the Loaner Device. Use of the Loaner Device is not required to participate.
(iii) Instructions and return postage will be included in packaging with the Loaner
Device; and
(iv) predicated on acceptance of the corresponding agreement, Loaner Devices
will be sent out to selected Finalist promptly after entrant is selected as a Finalist,
free of charge (including customs fees, etc.).
July 18, 2013

legal/41541284_1
In Sponsor’s sole discretion, any entrant who has entered on behalf of his or her employer
and/or a group may be required to provide confirmation that he/she is authorized to enter
on behalf of his/her employer and/or group in order to receive the Loaner Device and be
considered for a prize in the subsequent parts of the Contest. Dependent on (and subject
to) shipping times, customs requirements and other requirements, Loaner Devices will be
distributed between September 11, 2013 and September 18, 2013, properly packed.
Arrival of the Loaner Device to the Finalist is dependent on shipping times and customs.
Sponsor, Participating Partners, and Administrator will not be responsible for any
delayed (whether by customs or otherwise), late, lost, or misdirected Loaner Devices
regardless of impact on Finalist’s ability to participate in the Contest unless Sponsor,
Participating Partners, and/or Administrator act negligently or willfully.
For Ukraine Residents Only (or otherwise applicable): Sponsor will send a Loaner
Device to the Finalist, provided that the Finalist must conduct customs clearance of the
Loaner Device and Sponsor will compensate the Finalist for the incurred customs
clearance expenses upon submission by the Finalist of the relevant evidence in writing.

Submission is created or where Contest is offered; and
The Submission must be the original work solely of the entrant submitting the
Submission unless the entrant is entering on behalf of a group and/or his/her
employer and is in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 1 of
the Official Rules.
Nothing in these Guidelines and Restrictions shall require that a Submission be created
by an entrant specifically for this Contest, nor shall these Guidelines and Restrictions
prohibit an entrant from submitting a Submission that he/she previously published,
provided that the entrant has retained ownership and/or all necessary rights to exploit the
Submission in this Contest.
7. SPONSOR’S USE OF SUBMISSION. Submitting a Submission constitutes
entrant’s agreement to grant Sponsor and Lenovo a royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual
(or for the entire terms of duration of intellectual property rights), non-exclusive, sub-
licensable license (without an entrant’s separate consent) to use and exploit all
intellectual property rights including without limitation, to use, reproduce, modify,
publish, communicate to the public and publicly display such Submission in whole or in
part, on a worldwide basis, and to incorporate it into other works, in any form, media or
technology now known or later developed, including for administrative, promotional
and/or marketing purposes related to the Contest, other Contests conducted by Sponsor,
and the products and/or services of Sponsor and/or Lenovo. To be clear, such license
does not give Sponsor or Lenovo any right to sell your Submission to a third party, or to
offer it as a value-added premium in connection with a sale or lease. If requested, entrant
will sign any agreement or other documentation (and/or obtain the signature from
relevant third parties) that may be required for Sponsor or Lenovo to make use of the
non-exclusive rights entrant is granting to use the Submission (and/or that may be
requested to confirm such use). In granting Sponsor and Lenovo such license, entrant
hereby represents and warrants that the Submission does not in any way infringe upon
any third party’s intellectual properties (whether living or deceased). Intellectual
property ownership and rights to the Submission remain with the entrant (either with the
individual or the group or employer on whose behalf the individual entrant submitted the
Submission) except as provided herein. To the extent permitted under applicable law,
entrant consents to, and warrants that it has procured the consent from other creators of
copyright in the Submission to, any acts or omissions by the Sponsor and Lenovo and
each of their respective successors and assigns which would otherwise constitute an
infringement of the creators' moral rights (including, in particular, the right to maintain
July 18, 2013
-13-
legal/41541284_1
the integrity of the Submission) and waives any and all such moral rights in favor of
Sponsor and Lenovo. If requested, entrant must be able to provide such third party
consent to Sponsor and Lenovo in a form acceptable to Sponsor. By submitting a
Submission, each entrant accepts and acknowledges that Sponsor and Lenovo shall not be
obligated to use the Submission and that Sponsor and Lenovo, in their sole discretion,
shall have the right to refrain from using the Submission. Sponsor and Lenovo shall not
incur any liability whatsoever to the extent Sponsor and/or Lenovo choose(s) to refrain
from any exploitation of its rights herein.
For Residents of Ukraine Only: The entrant may be required to enter into an additional
license agreement with Sponsor and/or Lenovo in the form and substance complying with
Ukrainian law. Sponsor may send a template of such license agreement or a license to the
entrant by e-mail or by other means and, if sent to entrant, such template must be filled in
and printed out by the entrant and its executed hard copy must be sent to Sponsor by
mail. Provisions of this Section 7 are also applied to an Employer Entrant's
employee/each individual from a group of individuals – the author(s) of a Demo
Submission.
8. SELECTION OF WINNERS AND JUDGING CRITERIA FOR ROUND 2.
Within thirty (30) days after the Demo Submission entry deadline, a panel of qualified
judges (including judges with appropriate language skills) determined by Sponsor in its
sole discretion will select the five (5) highest-scoring Demo Submissions in each of the
six (6) Categories (where each person submitting such a Demo Submission is a “Demo
Finalist”) from among all eligible Demo Submissions received from the four (4) Entry
Sites during Round 2 (i.e., there will be a total of up to thirty (30) Demo Finalists) based
on application of the following Demo Submission Judging Criteria:
(i) How effectively does the Demo Submission demonstrate innovation and a
compelling user experience? (up to 50 points);
(ii) How effectively does the Demo Submission demonstrate usage of key
technical enabling vectors? (up to 40 points);
(iii) How likely is it that end users will adopt the Demo App for its intended
purpose and category? (up to 30 points); and
(iv) Does the Demo App perform as expected with robust stability and
functionality? (up to 20 points).
The odds of being selected as a Demo Finalist will depend on a combination of: (i) the total
number of eligible Demo Submissions received in each Category during the Demo
Submission (Round 2) period; and (ii) the score the Demo Submission receives by the
judges in accordance with the Judging Criteria outlined above.
Each Demo Finalist will be required to provide a new video, subject to Section 6, that
presents the features and innovative uses of his/her Demo App (“New Video”). The
July 18, 2013
-14-
legal/41541284_1
New Video cannot be the same video that you previously submitted in this Contest.
While the Demo App itself does not need to be translated into English, the New Video
must be presented in English via on-screen dialog, voice-over or subtitles. The New
Video may feature the voice and/or physical appearance of the Demo Finalist and/or the
voice and/or physical appearance of another person as long as such other person signs
and returns a release waiver as required by Sponsor and in accordance with Section 6. A
Demo Finalist may obtain assistance from another person to write the subtitle text if such
Demo Finalist is not fluent in English.
New Videos may be submitted via the Entry Site by uploading an unlisted link to the
Administrator’s Servers. The unlisted link will access the video the Demo Finalist has
uploaded to the designated video site (such as YouTube or YouKu) between November
13, 2013 at 12:01 AM GMT and November 20, 2013 at 11:59 PM GMT. Other specific
details about the New Video (including additional format, timing and other requirements
and limitations (if any)) will be provided to each Demo Finalist at the time of Demo
Finalist selection. A panel of qualified judges will be selected by the Sponsor in its sole
discretion to judge the New Videos.
Between November 21, 2013 and no later than December 9, 2013, the New Video of each
Demo Finalist will be judged and awarded points during this judging round based on
application of the same criteria and point structure indicated above in (i) – (iv). Sponsor
and judges reserve the right to refer to and consider the associated Demo Submission to
clarify and/or better understand the New Video. The points awarded for your New Video
will be added to your score for the corresponding Demo Submission, with the combined
score constituting your “Total Score.”
In order to be considered for the Overall Grand Prize, the AIO Platform Grand Prize or
the Tablet Platform Grand Prize, the Demo Finalist’s Total Score must be at least two
hundred-forty (240) points or greater.
* There will be up to one (1) Overall Grand Prize awarded to the Demo Finalist in any of
the six (6) Categories with the highest Total Score that meets the above required
threshold score.
* There will be up to one (1) AIO Platform Grand Prize awarded to the Demo Finalist in
any of the two (2) AIO Categories with the highest Total Score that meets the above
required threshold score. The winner of the Overall Grand Prize is not eligible to win the
AIO Platform Grand Prize (i.e., none of his/her New Videos will be considered for the
AIO Platform Grand Prize).
* There will be up to one (1) Tablet Platform Grand Prize awarded to the Demo Finalist
in any of the four (4) Tablet Categories with the highest Total Score that meets this
required threshold score. The winner of the Overall Grand Prize is not eligible to win the

Score must be at least two hundred ten (210) points or greater.
* For each of the six (6) Categories, there will be up to one (1) Category Prize awarded
to the Demo Finalist in that Category who has the highest Total Score that meets the
above required threshold. Winners of the Overall Grand Prize, the AIO Platform Grand
Prize and the Tablet Platform Grand Prize are not eligible to win a Category Prize (i.e.,
none of their New Videos will be considered for a Category Prize).
The odds of being selected as a prize winner will depend on a combination of: (i) the total
number of eligible New Videos submitted by each Demo Finalist in each Category during
the Demo Submission (Round 2) period; and (ii) the score the New Video receives by the
judges in accordance with the Judging Criteria outlined above.
In the event one (1) or more Demo Finalists tie with the same highest Total Score for any
of the prizes/Categories listed above, the winner for that prize/category will be selected
by Sponsor based on which of the tied entries the judges believe has the most potential
marketability. Sponsor reserves the right to select fewer than the potential nine (9)
winners, if, in its sole discretion, an insufficient number of New Video/Demo
Submissions meet the scoring criteria threshold described above or if Sponsor does not
receive a sufficient number of eligible New Videos.

General Requirements. All prizes will be in the form of a check, via PayPal or via bank
transfer as determined by Sponsor in accordance with applicable law. Limit one (1)
Demo Submission prize per person. If an entrant would be otherwise eligible for Demo
Submission prizes in excess of this limit (e.g., eligible for prizes in two different

receive, but, however, shall not be entitled to choose a prize less valuable than the other
one(s) such entrant may be entitled to. The entrant's other Submissions will be deemed
ineligible and the prize in the other Category will be awarded to the entrant with the next

cash or a cash equivalent (e.g., PayPal). A winner may be required to set up a PayPal

be responsible for tax-related obligations unless applicable law provides otherwise. If an
individual entrant who submitted a Submission on behalf of a group is a selected winner,
then such individual entrant will be responsible for the tax-related obligations unless
applicable law provides otherwise. For all non-U.S. winners, 30% of the prize value
accepted will be withheld and remitted to the IRS to the extent required to comply
with U.S. tax laws (subject to any applicable international agreements and/or
