1. I have voluntarily applied to participate in the television program currently entitled “Big Brother Canada” (the “Program”) being produced by Insight-Big Brother Canada Ltd.

In order to be considered as a participant in the Program, I have made and will make statements and representations to Producer and to the Network regarding myself and my background. I understand that this information is being relied upon by Producer and by the Network in considering me for selection as a participant in the Program.

2. I hereby certify, represent and warrant that all statements, disclosures and representations made by me in my application to participate in the Program, in any other document or agreement that I have signed or will sign in connection with the Program or my participation in the Program, and that I otherwise provide to Producer, to the Network, or to anyone acting on their behalf, are true, accurate and complete. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, I certify that I have not withheld or mischaracterized any information regarding myself or my background.

3. If any statement, disclosure or representation is false, misleading or incomplete, Producer and/or the Network may remove me from consideration as a participant in the Program, may remove me from the Program, and/or may withhold from me or cause me to return any prizes, monies (including any compensation), or other items that I have won or received, including, without limitation, any prizes, monies, or other items already delivered to me.

4. I also recognize that proof of damages suffered by Producer and the Network in the event that I breach any provision of this certification will be costly, difficult and/or inconvenient.
