  2. Among all participants who took the above aspects into account, the winner will be chosen by lot, guaranteeing the principle of randomness. The winners will be drawn by two HOMAG employees without notarial supervision.

5. Rights of Use, Indemnification and Responsibility

  1. The participants agree that photos in connection with the competition, the draw, the processing of the event will be used, disseminated and otherwise made publicly available to third parties by the organizer in online and offline media (e.g. in print).

This granting of rights is free of charge and without any restrictions in terms of space, content or time.

6. Processing

  1. It is not possible to pay out the prize in cash, in kind, exchange or transfer it to other persons. A participant can waive the prize. If a prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the prize claim expires.

The handing over of the prizes will be coordinated individually with the corresponding participants.
  2. The winners will be announced on June 10 and will be notified of the prizes by phone call or email and asked for confirmation.
  3. If the participant does not respond within a reasonable period of time (10 days) after being asked to do so twice, the prize can be transferred to another participant. Section 6.1 shall apply mutatis mutandis. If the contact options provided are incorrect (e.g. invalid e-mail addresses), the organiser is not obliged to find out correct addresses. The disadvantages resulting from the provision of incorrect contact details are at the expense of the corresponding participant.
  4. The prize can represent taxable income for the winner. Each winner is obliged to check this in accordance with the rules applicable to him or her and, if taxable, to pay proper tax.

  1. In the event of a breach of these Terms and Conditions, the Promoter reserves the right to exclude the entrant from the Competition.
  2. Furthermore, the organizer reserves the right to exclude participants who use unauthorized aids or otherwise gain advantages through manipulation (in particular collective or multiple participations).

Furthermore, untrue personal information and the use of "fake profiles" can lead to exclusion. If necessary, in these cases, prizes can also be withdrawn and/or reclaimed retrospectively.
