void where prohibited
Contest fine print
A legal phrase appearing on sweepstakes, contests, and promotional offers indicating that the offer doesn't apply in jurisdictions where laws forbid it: See official rules. Void where prohibited by law.
The phrase shifts legal responsibility—participants in restricted areas enter at their own risk.
It appears so routinely in fine print that it functions almost as background noise.
