Multiple entries, automated entries (e.g. bots), bulk entries via competition service providers or other attempts at manipulation are not permitted.
The organiser reserves the right to exclude participants from the competition in the event of a breach of these terms and conditions or on suspicion of manipulation. In such cases, prizes may also be revoked retrospectively and reclaimed.

3. Prize
The specific prize will be announced in the competition terms and conditions.

4. Selection of Winners & Notification
Winners will be selected once the entry deadline specified in the competition announcement has passed.
Unless otherwise stated, winners will be selected at random (by lottery) from among all eligible entrants. Winners will be notified via the relevant social media platform or by email.

This process may be repeated up to three times.
The announcement of the winners is subject to change. The decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Liability for simple negligence is excluded, except in cases of personal injury or where liability is mandatory under law. The organiser accepts no liability for technical faults, internet outages, platform failures or data loss.
7. Data Protection
By entering the competition, the participant expressly agrees that the organiser may store the necessary data, e.g. first name, surname and email address, for the duration of the competition and beyond.
