• (e) Grantees May Replace or Remove Audio. Grantees may, at any time and in their sole discretion, mute, replace, or remove the audio in any Submission, including replacing the Designated Track with a different track.

Grantees may also decline to use or display any Submission whose audio cannot be cleared.

6. Consents From Others. You are solely responsible for obtaining, before you submit, every consent and permission needed for your Submission. By accepting these Terms you make the representations and warranties in this Section 6. In particular:

• (a) Consent of People Who Appear. Every person who appears in your Submission (other than you) must, before you submit, have given you their express consent to (i) appear in your Submission, (ii) your entering the Submission in the Competition, and (iii) your granting the rights in Section 7 on their behalf, including the Grantees’ use of their name, voice, image, and likeness as described in Section 7. By submitting, you represent and warrant that you have obtained each such person’s consent.

• (b) Videographer Consent. If anyone other than you films the video (that is, it is not a selfie video), that person must also, before you submit, have agreed that you may enter the video in the Competition and grant the rights in Section 7, and that the person claims no rights in the video that would limit those rights.

• (c) Location Permission. If the video is filmed on property that you do not own or control, the owner or manager of that property must also have given you permission, before you submit, to film there and to use the footage in the Competition and as described in Section 7.

• (d) Minors. No person under the age of 18 may appear in your Submission unless you are that person’s parent or legal guardian. Only a parent or legal guardian may give consent for a minor. If a minor appears in your Submission, you consent to the minor’s participation on the minor’s behalf, you grant the rights in Section 7 and give the release in Section 16 on the minor’s behalf, and you represent and warrant that you are the minor’s parent or legal guardian and have the legal authority to do so.

• (e) Your Representation and Warranty. By submitting, you represent and warrant that, before submitting, you obtained the consents and permissions described in this Section 6 from every person who appears in or contributed to your Submission and from any location owner or manager; that each was freely and knowingly given, covers your entry of the Submission in the Competition and the Grantees’ use of it as described in these Terms, and has not been withdrawn or limited; and that, if a minor appears, you are the minor’s parent or legal guardian.

• (f) Cooperation; Additional Releases. You agree to work with the Grantees in good faith to obtain any additional release, consent, or permission that the Grantees determine is necessary or advisable in connection with your Submission, including from any person who appears in or contributes to it or from any location owner or manager. You will promptly give the Grantees any contact information they reasonably request and will use reasonable efforts to have each such person sign any release the Grantees provide. If a release or consent the Grantees require is not obtained, or the Grantees are not satisfied that you have the consents described in this Section 6, the Grantees may disqualify your Submission, decline to use it, or edit, blur, or remove any person or other element from it, without liability to you.

• (g) Additional Documents. Grantees may require you, if you are selected as a finalist or as the winner, to sign and return additional documents within three (3) business days of notice. These may include an affidavit of eligibility, additional releases or waivers, and tax forms. If you do not sign and return them on time, or refuse to sign them, you may be disqualified and you will forfeit any prize and any chance to appear in the Awards broadcast or in the Competition.

7. Rights You Grant. In consideration of the opportunity to participate in the Competition and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which you acknowledge, you agree as follows:

• (a) License to Your Submission. You grant to the Grantees an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable and sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right and license, throughout the universe and in any and all media, formats, and platforms now known or hereafter devised, to use, reproduce, edit, excerpt, modify, adapt, translate, combine with other material, distribute, transmit, publicly perform, publicly display, broadcast, stream, exhibit, make available, and otherwise exploit your Submission, including the video, images, audio (other than the Designated Track and other third-party material), your description, and all results and proceeds of your Submission (together, the “Materials”), in perpetuity, including for the following purposes:

  • (iii) the advertising, marketing, publicity, and promotion of the Competition, the Awards, the Soul Train franchise, BET, CBS, the other Grantees, and their respective networks, programs, platforms, products, services, sponsors, and advertisers, including in on-air, digital, social, out-of-home, print, and press materials and in Competition awareness promos made using some or all submitted videos; and

  • (iv) any other purpose connected with the business of the Grantees, in each case without further notice to you, approval from you, or payment to you.

• (f) Ownership. As between you and the Grantees, you retain ownership of your Submission, subject to the rights granted in this Section 7. If any right granted in this Section 7 cannot be granted by license under applicable law, you assign it to the Grantees to the extent needed to give effect to this Section 7.

• (g) Moral Rights. To the extent permitted by law, you waive, and agree not to assert, any “moral rights” or similar rights you may have in the Materials.

• (h) Irrevocable; Remedies. The rights granted in this Section 7 are irrevocable. You may not withdraw your Submission or the rights granted after you submit. If the Grantees breach these Terms, your remedies will be limited to damages. You will not be entitled to terminate or rescind the rights granted or to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition, or exploitation of the Awards, the Competition, or any Materials.

• (i) No Obligation to Use. The Grantees are not required to use, post, or broadcast any Submission, even if it is selected as a finalist or as the winner. The Grantees may remove any Submission at any time. The license in this Section 7 continues in either case.

You represent and warrant that: (a) you are eligible to enter and every person in your Submission is eligible (subject to Section 6(d) as to minors); (b) the information you provide is true, accurate, and complete; (c) you created and recorded the Submission, or, if someone else recorded it, that person has consented to your submission of it as described in Section 6(b); (d) your Submission is original to you, complies with Sections 4 and 5, and does not infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of privacy or publicity, or other right of any person, or any law; (e) you have the full right to grant the rights in these Terms; (f) you have obtained all consents and permissions required under Section 6, and each remains in effect; and (g) no consent from, or payment to, any other person is required for the Grantees to exercise the rights granted in these Terms.

9. No Compensation; Non-Union. Other than any prize awarded under Section 12, you are not entitled to any payment or other compensation for your Submission, your participation in the Competition, any appearance in the Awards broadcast or elsewhere, or the Grantees’ use of the Materials or your name or likeness. The Grantees have no further obligation to you, monetary or otherwise. You are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement that applies to the Materials. You agree that neither these Terms nor your Submission is subject to any collective bargaining agreement, including those of SAG-AFTRA or the AFM, and that no residuals or other payments are due in connection with the Materials.

10. Judging and Selection of Finalists. After the Submission Period closes, a judging committee appointed by BET will review all eligible Submissions that comply with these Terms and select ten (10) finalists on or about November 6, 2026. Each Submission will be evaluated on the following criteria, weighted equally: (i) connection to the original Soul Train Line, while putting your spin on it; (ii) creativity and originality; (iii) energy and entertainment; (iv) personality and authenticity; and (v) overall impact and shareability. The ten (10) Submissions with the highest overall evaluations will be selected as finalists. If Submissions are tied for the last finalist position, BET will break the tie in its sole discretion. The decisions of the judging committee are final. BET will notify each finalist by email and/or phone. A finalist must confirm eligibility and return any additional documents as required by Section 6(g). If a finalist is ineligible, is disqualified, or does not respond within twenty-four (24) hours after notice, BET may replace that finalist with another eligible Submission.

11. Finalist Voting and Selection of the Winner. The ten (10) finalists will be announced, and their Submissions featured, on the official contest website and the Soul Train Awards social media channels beginning on or about November 7, 2026. Fans may vote for their favorite finalist through the official voting page on the official contest website until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 15, 2026 (the “Voting Period”). Only votes cast through the official voting page during the Voting Period are eligible and counted. Each voter must provide a valid email address and may vote once per day. Votes cast by automated means, scripts, bots, multiple or false email addresses, paid or incentivized voting, or any other method that circumvents these rules are void, and the Grantees may disqualify any finalist who engages in or benefits from them. At the close of the Voting Period, the Grantees will verify and tally all eligible votes. The finalist who receives the highest number of eligible votes will be the winner (the “Winner”), subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Terms. If finalists are tied, BET will break the tie in its sole discretion. The Winner will be notified after the Voting Period closes and must return any additional documents as required by Section 6(g). If the Winner is ineligible, is disqualified, or cannot be reached within twenty-four (24) hours after notice, the finalist with the next highest number of eligible votes will become the Winner. The Winner will be announced during The Soul Train Awards 2026 broadcast on BET on November 27, 2026.

12. Prizes. The Winner will receive (a) a cash prize of $5,000 (the “Grand Prize”) and (b) the opportunity to have the Winner’s Submission featured during The Soul Train Awards 2026 broadcast, subject to Section 7(i). Each of the other nine (9) finalists will receive a $500 cash prize and recognition as an official finalist on the official contest website and designated Soul Train Awards social media channels. Prizes are awarded only to the person who submitted the winning or finalist Submission, are not transferable, and may not be exchanged for a substitute or for cash, except that the Grantees may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if a prize becomes unavailable. The Grantees will pay or deliver each prize only after the recipient returns the documents required by Section 6(g). Each recipient is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes on the prize and must provide any tax forms the Grantees request. A recipient who does not meet these requirements forfeits the prize.

13. Administration of the Competition. The Grantees may, in their sole discretion, modify, suspend, or terminate the Competition at any time and for any reason before the winner is selected. The Grantees may disqualify any person who tampers with the entry or voting process, violates these Terms, or acts in a disruptive or unsportsmanlike manner. All decisions of the Grantees are final.

14. Confidentiality. If you are selected as a finalist or the winner, you agree to keep that status, and any non-public information about the Competition or the Awards that you receive, confidential until it is publicly announced by the Grantees, and not to disclose it without written authorization from BET.

15. Privacy. The personal information you provide, including your name, email address, and mobile number, will be collected and used to administer the Competition and as described in the BET Privacy Policy https://privacy.paramount.com/policy, the Greenfly, Inc. Privacy Policy https://www.bet.com/legal/ozgasg/terms-of-use, and Paramount’s Privacy Policy at https://privacy.paramount.com/policy. By submitting, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and agree to those policies.

16. Assumption of Risk; Release of Claims. Dancing is a physical activity, and you take part in the Competition at your own risk. On behalf of yourself, each minor who appears in your Submission, your heirs, next of kin, spouse or spousal equivalent, guardians, legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns (the “Releasing Parties”), you irrevocably release and forever discharge the Grantees, Greenfly, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensees, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, and causes of action, whether now known or unknown, arising out of or in connection with the Competition, your Submission, your participation or appearance in the Competition or the Awards, or the exercise of any right granted in these Terms. This includes claims for injury, illness, death, loss of or damage to property, violation of any right of privacy or publicity, defamation, and emotional distress. The Releasing Parties will not sue or assert any claim against any of them in respect of these matters.

17. Indemnity. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Grantees, Greenfly, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensees, and assigns from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with (a) any breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, or agreement you make in these Terms, or (b) your Submission, your participation in the Competition, or the Grantees’ exercise of the rights granted in these Terms.

18. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability. The Competition is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Grantees and Greenfly will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to the Competition or these Terms.

19. Governing Law and Arbitration. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and performed entirely in California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Competition, or your Submission, including its enforcement, arbitrability, or interpretation, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS in Los Angeles, California [or by video conference, at your election], under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules (for claims under $250,000) or the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules (for claims over $250,000) in effect when the request for arbitration is made. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding and will include a written decision. The arbitration, including its existence and all filings and testimony, will be confidential except as required by law. The parties will allocate the arbitrator’s fees and costs as required by the JAMS rules and applicable law. Each party bears its own attorneys’ fees, except as the arbitrator may award under applicable law. Claims may be brought only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding. Subject to this Section, any court action may be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

20. General. These Terms (including the Official Rules) and any releases and additional documents you sign in connection with the Competition are the entire agreement between you and the Grantees about your Submission and supersede all prior understandings. No Grantee or other person has made any promise or representation not contained in them, and you are not relying on any such promise or representation. These Terms may be changed only in a writing signed by the parties. These Terms bind you and your heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives, and benefit the Grantees and their successors and assigns. You may not assign these Terms. The Grantees may freely assign them, in whole or in part, to any person or entity. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect. Any rule of law that would construe an ambiguity against the drafter is waived. Sections 4(d), 7, and 8 through 20 survive the end of the Competition. Your electronic acceptance of these Terms is the legal equivalent of your signature. Void where prohibited by law.
