to the extent permitted by applicable law.
To the extent permitted under applicable law, you consent to, and warrant that you have obtained
the written consent from all other creators of content in the Submission to, any acts or omissions
by the Sponsor and each of their respective successors and assigns which would otherwise
constitute an infringement of the creators' moral rights, if any, (including, in particular, the right
to maintain the integrity of the Submission, moral right to first distribution and the moral paternity
right) and waive any and all moral rights in favor of Intel. If requested, you will provide the third
party consent to Intel in a form acceptable to Intel.

any exploitation of its rights.
9. SELECTION OF WINNERS AND JUDGING OF PROJECT SUBMISSIONS. A panel
of qualified judges (determined by Intel in its sole discretion) will evaluate and calculate a score
for all Submissions. The score assigned to each Submission is based on the following criteria
(“Submission Judging Criteria”):
(i) How innovative is the idea in devising new and unique ways to deploy the Intel®
Joule™ Module and Intel® Joule™ Developer Kit?
(up to 50 points)
(ii) How creative is the idea in making use of the hardware and software components
of the Intel® Joule™ Module and Intel® Joule™ Developer Kit?
(total of up to 30 points comprised of points for the following criteria)
Sensor and actuator utilization (up to 10 points)
Overall Intel® Joule™ utilization (up to 10 points)
Other technical aspects (up to 10 points); and
(iii) What is the market potential for your idea?
(up to 20 points)
Within about 30 days after the end of the Entry Period, all Submissions will have been evaluated
and, if found valid, assigned points based on the above criteria (“Score”). The process of
evaluating your Submission is called a “scoring round.” Intel reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to conduct multiple scoring rounds based on the above criteria or one equivalent to it.
The Scores for the Submissions will be ranked from highest to lowest to determine the winners of
the following three (3) prizes (each a “Prize”):
One (1) Grand Prize (Highest Score)
One (1) Second Place Prize (Second Highest Score)
One (1) Third Place Prize (Third Highest Score)
December 1, 2016

If two Submissions vying for a Prize have equal Scores, the Submission with the higher Score in
criteria (i) will be designated the winner of that Prize. If the score in criteria (i) is tied, the tie will
be broken by comparing the Scores in criteria (ii). If the score in criteria (iii) is tied, the tie will
be broken by conducting another scoring round with the two tied Submissions.
Intel reserves the right to select fewer than the three potential number of winners indicated in these
Rules, if, based on the judging results, an insufficient number of Submissions meet the criteria
described above.
The odds of being selected a winner will depend on the quality of your Submission which is expressed
as the score the Submission receives from the judges in accordance with the Submission Judging
Criteria indicated above.
All Scores are confidential to us and will not be made publicly available nor released to Challenge
participants.
10. PRIZES. All the Prizes are awarded as consideration of the technical work of the winners,
in recognition of personal merit, and to encourage future technological development for the benefit
of society as a whole.
All Prizes are valued in United States dollars (“USD”).

between actual and ARV of the Grand Prize. The travel stipend and other travel related portions
of the Grand Prize is only awarded if the winner goes on the trip. The Prizes are subject to

unavailable or cannot be awarded for any reason.

Important: Intel seeks no promises or favoritism for itself or any of its affiliates in exchange for
your participation in the Challenge. You certify that any potential Prize is not in exchange for an
agreement to influence a recent, pending, or anticipated act or decision that may result in Intel
obtaining or retaining a business advantage.
11. WINNER NOTIFICATION, PRIZE FULFILLMENT, AND TAXES. If you are a
Prize winner, we will notify you within four weeks after judging is completed. The notification
will be sent to the email address you provided during registration, so please check your email and
spam filters.
At time of notification (or soon thereafter), we will send each winner a template version of the
documents listed below. To be verified as a winner and receive the applicable prize, within five
business days of sending the email, you need to complete, sign, and send back to us the documents
listed below along with a copy of a valid identification suitable for proof of identity, residency,
and age (“Proof of ID”).
The documents are as follows:
1. An affidavit (or declaration) of eligibility, liability, and publicity release
(“Declaration”). Among other things, the Declaration reaffirms your acceptance
of the Rules, including the liability releases by you and your companion and grants
of rights listed in the Rules;
2. An IRS W-9 form if the Prize you are eligible to win is valued at $600 or more; and
December 1, 2016
-8-
3. Other documents as needed to confirm your acceptance of the prize as described in
these Rules.
Collectively, the Proof of ID and the documents listed above are the “Prize Documents.”
The Challenge Entities will not be held liable for any selected winner notification that is lost,
intercepted, or not received by any selected winner for any reason, unless we engage in willful
misconduct or negligence related to the winner notification.
We may determine, in our sole discretion, that a selected winner has forfeited the Prize if the
selected winner: (i) cannot be reached or does not accept the Prize per the Rules within five
business days; (ii) declines or cannot accept, receive, or use a Prize for any reason; (iii) fails to
comply with the eligibility requirements; (iv) fails to execute or return the Prize Documents, as
instructed; or (v) does not comply with these Rules.
If a selected winner forfeits a Prize during the five business day notification period, an alternate
winner will be selected using the following process.
The Score of selected winners who forfeit a Prize will be disqualified, and all Scores below it will
move up in the winner selection ranking. By way of example, assume the selected winner with
the second highest Score forfeits the Prize. If you had the third highest Score before that person
forfeited, then after they forfeit, your Score becomes the second highest Score, and you win a
Second Place Prize instead of a Third Place Prize. Alternate winners need to comply with the
eligibility, notification, and other requirements set forth in these Rules. This alternate winner
selection process will be repeated until three Prizes are awarded unless there are insufficient
eligible Submissions.
We will confirm your status as a winner within four weeks of receipt of all the required Prize
Documents. We are not responsible for delays and any inconveniences in distributing Prizes unless
we engage in willful misconduct or negligence related to the Prize distribution.
General Prize-Related Requirements. The United States restricts the export and/or distribution of
certain items and prizes to specific excluded/listed persons. We will comply with these restrictions
and requirements based on our sole assessment of these requirements.
As applicable, the monetary portion of all Prizes will be awarded in the form of a U.S.-issued
check, via PayPal, or via bank transfer, as determined by Intel, in accordance with applicable law.
If you win a Prize, you may be required to set up a PayPal account in order to receive it. Unless
indicated otherwise, all other expenses associated with a Prize, receipt of the Prize (such as PayPal
transaction fees), or the use of a Prize are not included and are your sole responsibility.
Travel Costs. Unless otherwise listed as part of the Prize, you are responsible for all personal
expenses and incidental costs and for obtaining all required travel documents (passports and visas),
permissions, and insurance. Travel restrictions, conditions, and limitations may apply. We are
not responsible if you are unable to use the travel related Prize or if travel is delayed, postponed,
or cancelled for any reason.

Taxes. Reporting and payment of any applicable national, federal, state, provincial, municipal,
local, or other taxes associated with receipt or use of a Prize are solely your responsibility.
