- 7. Photo Eligibility
7.1 Submission by Parent Only

Unless expressly allowed by the Official Rules, Photos must show a real child and must not materially alter the child’s appearance.

Unless otherwise stated in the Official Rules, a Parent may submit Photos of multiple Participants and may submit multiple Photos of the same Participant, subject to Site limits, category rules, and anti-abuse measures.
7.9 Content Safety Enforcement
Cutieville applies heightened content-safety standards because the Site involves Photos of children. Cutieville may reject, remove, blur, crop, restrict, report, or escalate any Photo, profile, comment, account, or related content where Cutieville reasonably believes that the content is unsafe, inappropriate, exploitative, sexualized, humiliating, illegal, harmful to a child, inconsistent with child-protection standards, or otherwise unsuitable for the Site.
Cutieville may also report content, accounts, users, payment activity, or conduct to law enforcement, regulators, child protection authorities, payment providers, hosting providers, fraud-prevention providers, or other relevant parties where Cutieville reasonably believes that the content or conduct is illegal, exploitative, abusive, fraudulent, harmful to a child, or otherwise creates legal, safety, regulatory, payment, or reputational risk.
- 8. Review, Verification, and Validation of Photos
8.1 Information Required
When submitting a Photo, you may be asked to provide the Participant’s legal name, birthdate, relationship to you, category, region, and other information reasonably necessary to administer the contest, verify eligibility, prevent fraud, and comply with law.
8.2 Verification Documents
Cutieville may request documents or information to verify the Participant’s age, your identity, your parental or legal guardian status, residency, eligibility, and prize entitlement. Such documents may include, where appropriate, birth certificates, identification documents, proof of guardianship, proof of address, or other reasonable verification materials.
You must not submit sensitive documents, identification documents, birth certificates, or other verification materials unless specifically requested by Cutieville through an approved verification process.

Verification documents will be used only for eligibility, fraud prevention, legal compliance, payment, tax, prize verification, dispute resolution, and recordkeeping purposes, as further described in the Privacy Policy.

8.5 Limited Editing
As part of review, you grant Cutieville the right to make limited edits to a Photo to improve technical quality, correct minor technical issues, crop or resize for display, remove red-eye, blur or remove a logo or prohibited text, or ensure compliance with these Terms. Cutieville will not intentionally alter the Participant’s physical characteristics except as necessary to remove prohibited or unsafe content.
8.6 Ineligible Photos
Cutieville may declare a Photo ineligible and remove it before, during, or after a contest if Cutieville reasonably determines that the Photo or related submission violates these Terms, the Official Rules, third-party rights, law, or Cutieville’s safety, integrity, or compliance policies.
8.7 Objection by Another Parent or Legal Guardian
If another parent or legal guardian of a Participant objects to the Participant’s participation or the display of a Photo, Cutieville may request proof of identity, parental or legal guardian status, custody rights, and the basis of the objection.
Cutieville may remove the Photo, suspend the Participant’s profile, pause prize payment, cancel or pause ranking visibility, or take other reasonable measures while reviewing the objection. Cutieville will use reasonable efforts to review substantiated removal requests within 96 hours.
Cutieville may refuse, delay, or limit removal where the request appears fraudulent, abusive, unsupported, legally disputed, inconsistent with applicable law, inconsistent with a court order, or where Cutieville reasonably requires additional verification before acting.

Votes received by or through vote exchange websites, bots, scripts, automated systems, fake accounts, duplicate accounts, account farms, vote farms, paid third-party voting networks, manipulated traffic, unauthorized promotions, hacking, credential sharing, or any other method that does not reflect genuine votes of real eligible Users may be cancelled and not counted.

9.5 Cutieville’s Role
Cutieville does not participate in voting and does not add, remove, modify, or manipulate votes except as reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, remove invalid or fraudulent votes, correct technical errors, conduct payment or fraud review, comply with law, or maintain contest integrity.
9.6 Server Records Control
Cutieville’s server records, vote logs, fraud logs, payment records, and verification records are the official records for contest administration, subject to applicable law.
9.7 High-Risk Voter Verification
If a Participant, Photo, User, vote pattern, payment method, IP address, device, location, traffic source, referral source, or other signal presents an elevated risk of fraud, manipulation, duplicate accounts, vote farming, bot activity, payment abuse, location circumvention, or other suspicious activity, Cutieville may require Users who vote for that Participant to verify their email address, phone number, identity, residency, payment ownership, or other relevant information.
Cutieville may block, disregard, reverse, cancel, or remove votes from Users who fail verification, refuse verification, provide false or incomplete information, use prohibited circumvention methods, or otherwise present a high risk of vote fraud or manipulation.

Users must not abuse the payment, refund, or chargeback process. Cutieville may suspend accounts, cancel votes, withhold prizes, disqualify entries, or take other reasonable measures where Cutieville reasonably determines that a User has engaged in fraud, unauthorized payment activity, chargeback abuse, identity misuse, bot activity, fake accounts, vote farming, or other manipulation, subject to applicable law.
10.7 Taxes and Currency
You are responsible for any taxes, duties, currency conversion fees, bank fees, payment provider fees, or other charges that may apply to purchases or prizes, except where Cutieville is required by law to withhold or remit such amounts.
- 11. Winner Determination and Tie-Breakers
11.1 Winner Determination
The eligible Photo that receives the highest number of Valid Votes before the Contest Deadline will be ranked first, subject to eligibility verification, fraud review, payment review, and these Terms. Additional prize rankings will be determined in descending order based on Valid Votes, unless otherwise stated in the Official Rules.
11.2 Review Period
Cutieville may conduct a fraud, payment, eligibility, residency, and verification review after the Contest Deadline before publishing final results or awarding prizes. Unless otherwise stated in the Official Rules, final results may take up to 72 hours after the Contest Deadline to verify and publish.
In the event of suspected fraud, payment abuse, chargebacks, stolen payment credentials, fake accounts, bot activity, vote farming, identity misuse, residency misrepresentation, location circumvention, eligibility disputes, parent or guardian objections, or other manipulation, Cutieville may extend the review, verification, and prize payment period for up to 90 days or for any longer period reasonably required by law, payment providers, law enforcement, regulators, courts, or other competent authorities.
11.3 Tie-Breaker
In the event of a tie, the tied Photo that first reached the tied number of Valid Votes, based on Cutieville’s server records, will be ranked higher.
If Cutieville cannot reasonably determine which Photo first reached the tied number of Valid Votes due to a technical issue, the tied Photo with the higher number of unique verified voting Users will be ranked higher.
If a tie still remains, Cutieville may split the applicable prize among the tied eligible winners or apply another objective, non-random tie-breaker disclosed on the Site. No winner will be selected by random draw.
