Operation of the advent calendar

Participants will have the chance to open a window of the online advent calendar every day from December 1, 2023 until December 24, 2023.

 

 

Participation

Participation involves starting the advent calendar and then clicking on that day's window of the advent calendar.

There is a question behind each window of the advent calendar. To take part in the question you need to fill out and submit the participation form. The participation period lasts from 0:00 to 23:59 on every respective day. Submissions received after the end of the participation period shall not be considered in the draw.

 

Each participant can only submit one registration per day. Participants are strictly prohibited from using more than one email address to increase their chances of winning.

 

Participation in the prize draw is free of charge.

 

 

Eligibility

Only natural persons residing in New Zealand who have reached the age of 18 are eligible to take part in the competition. Participation is not limited to customers of the organizer and is not dependent on the purchase of goods or services.

If a participant does not have the capacity to enter into legal agreements, they will require the consent of their legal representative.

 

Persons and employees involved in the design and organization of the advent calendar shall not be eligible to take part in the advent calendar, nor shall their family members. In addition, the operator reserves the right, at their own discretion, to exclude persons from participating if there are legitimate reasons to do so, for example:

 

(a) if there is manipulation regarding access to or the running of the competition (b) if there are violations of these conditions of participation (c) if there is unfair conduct (d) if false or misleading information associated with participation in the competition is submitted.

 

 

Prize, notification of the win and delivery of the prize

In integrated competitions, a more detailed description of the prizes on offer will be shown directly, on the same day as the relevant competition, via the competition window.

The prize winners shall be determined through a draw based on the principle of chance, in which all participants will be involved. If the competition is linked to a task, only those participants who have successfully completed the task will be considered in the draw.

 

The winner of the draw will be promptly informed of the win via a separate email.

 

The prize can only be delivered to the winner. It is not possible to exchange the prize or to have it paid out in cash.

 

The operator shall bear any costs that may be incurred when shipping the prize. The winner shall bear any additional costs associated with claiming the prize. The winner shall bear the responsibility for any applicable tax applying to the prize.

 

If the winner does not respond within a three-week period, the prize may be given to another participant instead.

 

 

Termination of the advent calendar

The organizer expressly reserves the right to terminate the online advent calendar, along with integrated actions, at any time without giving any reason or prior notice. This applies, in particular, to any reasons that would disrupt or prevent the scheduled operation of the advent calendar.

 

 

Data protection

Participation in the advent calendar requires you to submit personal data. The participant shall ensure that the personal details submitted, especially first name, surname and email address, are true and correct.

 

The organizer hereby declares that none of the participant's personal data shall be passed on to third parties without consent, nor shall any third parties be given permission to use it.

 

An exception to this, the company commissioned to run the Advent calendar, SULCO TOOLS & EQUIPMENT, will collect, store and use the data for the purpose of running the Advent calendar and sending out the prizes.

 

In the case of a win, the winner shall agree to having their name and place of residence published in the advertising media used by the organizer. This shall also include the announcement of the winner on the operator's website and its social media platforms.

 

The participant may withdraw their consent at any time. The withdrawal must be addressed, in writing, to the organizer, using the contact details specified in the masthead of the advent calendar app. After consent has been withdrawn, the personal data of the participant that has been saved and collected shall be deleted immediately.

The advent calendar of the operator is exclusively governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Recourse through the courts is excluded.

 

 

Severability clause

If any of the provisions of these conditions of participation are rendered ineffective, in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining conditions of participation. The provision which is economically closest to the sense and purpose expressed by the invalid provision shall apply in lieu of the invalid provision. This provision shall be applicable mutatis mutandis to any potential loopholes in these conditions of participation.
