The competition is not affiliated with the respective social media platform (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.) and is in no way sponsored, endorsed or organised by it. The Organiser is the sole point of contact and the party responsible.
2. Participation & Eligibility
Participation in the competition is free of charge and independent of the purchase of any goods or services.
Eligible to participate are natural persons aged 18 or over who are resident in the EU or the EEA, unless otherwise stated in the relevant competition announcement.
The following are not eligible to enter:
Employees of the organiser and its affiliated companies, agencies involved in the organisation of the competition, and their respective family members.
Participation is subject to the conditions described in the relevant competition announcement (e.g. commenting, liking, sharing, completing a form, etc.).
Multiple entries, automated entries (e.g. bots), bulk entries via competition service providers or any other attempts at manipulation are prohibited.
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.
Participants are personally responsible for ensuring that the contact details they provide are accurate and up to date.
Illegal, offensive, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate content will result in exclusion from the competition.
3. Prize
The specific prize will be announced in the competition notice.
The prize is non-transferable, non-exchangeable and cannot be redeemed for cash, unless expressly stated otherwise.
Should a prize be unavailable for reasons beyond the organiser’s control, the organiser reserves the right to provide a prize of equivalent value.
Any travel or additional costs not expressly stated as part of the prize must be borne by the winner.
4. Selection of winners & notification
Winners will be selected after the closing date for entries specified in the competition announcement.
Unless otherwise stated, the selection will be made at random (by draw) from among all eligible entrants. Winners will be notified via the relevant social media platform or by email. If a winner does not respond within 48 hours (or the timeframe specified in the competition announcement) of being notified, their claim to the prize will lapse and a replacement winner will be selected. This process may be repeated up to three times.
The announcement of the winners is subject to change. Legal recourse is excluded.
5. Amendment or termination of the competition
The organiser reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the competition prematurely at any time for good cause without prior notice.

Should damage arise as a result of a participant’s culpable conduct, the organiser is entitled to claim compensation.
6. Liability
The organiser shall only be liable for damage resulting from wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
Liability for slight negligence is excluded – except in the case of personal injury or mandatory statutory liability. The organiser accepts no liability for technical faults, internet outages, failures of the relevant platform or data loss.
7. Data Protection
By taking part in 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. Participants are free to withdraw their consent at any time and thus withdraw from the competition. The organiser points out that none of the participant’s personal data will be made available to third parties. The winner consents to the publication of their name.

Austrian law shall apply exclusively, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction shall be the court with subject-matter jurisdiction at the organiser’s registered office. Legal recourse is excluded.
