Prize Draw Terms

1. General, organiser
Agreement to the terms and conditions of participation below is a prerequisite for participation in the competition. By participating in the competition, the participant accepts these terms and conditions of participation. The organiser of the competition is SKS GERMANY (subsequently referred to as “Organiser”). Participation in the giveaway takes place via the official SKS Facebook and Instagram accounts. This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Facebook. Participation is free of charge, voluntary, and not dependent on the purchase of any products. Legal recourse is excluded.

2. Prerequisites for participation
All individuals residing in the European Union with full legal capacity are allowed to participate. The organiser also reserves the right to exclude people from participation at its own discretion if there are justified reasons, for example

a) in the event of manipulations in connection with access to or running of the competition,

b) in the event of infringements of these terms and conditions of participation,

c) in the event of dishonest actions, or

d) in the event of providing incorrect or misleading information in connection with participation in the competition.

3. Period of participation, conclusion
Please find details about the start and the duration of the competition (participation period) with the information concerning the respective competition on social media channels. Users may participate in the competition within the time period which is stated. The organiser expressly reserves the right to terminate the respective competition without prior announcement and without providing any reasons. This is particularly the case for any reasons which would interfere with or prevent the competition running in line with the planned process.

4. Process of the competition, prize
The winners of the prize draw will be notified by email and announced via the comment function. If the competition is linked to a task, only those participants who have carried out the task correctly are entered into the draw. There will be no change to or cash payment of the prize. We will inform the winner via a private message. If the winner has not responded to the message informing them of their win within ten (10) days, the prize will be forfeited without replacement.

5. Liability
The organiser is liable for damage or loss which was caused by the organiser, its legal representatives, employees or agents, either intentionally or due to gross negligence.

In the case of an ordinary or slightly negligent infringement of essential contractual obligations (“Cardinal obligations”), the liability of the organiser is limited to the amount of damage or loss which could typically be predicted when the contract was agreed. An essential contractual obligation is one of the obligations necessary for enabling proper implementation of the contract, or the adherence to which was relied upon by the contractual partner or which the contractual partner was entitled to rely upon. Liability for ordinary or slightly negligent infringements of other obligations is ruled out.

Mandatory legal provisions such as unlimited liability for personal damage and loss and liability according to the Product Liability Act remain unaffected by the stipulations above.

In addition, the organiser will not be held liable for any damage or loss due to any impact on the availability of the competition Internet page as a result of technical faults beyond its control and force majeure, and attacks by third parties against the competition Internet page. The organiser will nevertheless do everything possible to ensure the reliability and full function of the competition Internet page.

In addition, the organiser will not provide any guarantee that the competition Internet page will function correctly on the respective participant device. The organiser reserves the right to modify, change or cancel the competition if there is a necessity to do so.

6. Data protection
The provision of personal data is a requirement for participation in the competition. Data which are absolutely essential for participation in the competition are marked as mandatory fields; participation is not possible if the data required for the mandatory fields are not provided.

The participant provides assurance that the information he/she has given, in particular first name, surname and address (email address) and any information relating to his/her age, are truthful and correct.

The organiser states that all personal data of the participant will not be passed on to third parties or ceded to third parties for further use (e.g. address data) without an appropriate legal basis. The one exception to this involves passing on this data to companies which may be commissioned with running the competition, which have to collect, store and use the data for the purpose of running the competition. The data are processed for the purpose of running the competition exclusively.

In the event of a win, the winner declares that he or she agrees to the publication of his or her name in the advertising media used by the organiser through acceptance of these terms and conditions of participation. This includes the announcement of the winner on the website of the operator and its social media platforms. All contributions which have been received and/or contents may similarly be used by us for commercial purposes (e.g. advertisements), and in particular published. In this respect the participants grant the organiser the right to use contributions and/or contents without limitations in terms of time and place, free of charge, without mentioning the name of the creator for purposes of advertising, meaning reproducing, publishing, editing etc. in particular.

Article 6 (1) (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation forms the legal basis for the processing of personal data for the purpose of running the competition. The data of the participants are on principle deleted within a period of 3/6 months following completion of the competition; the data of the winners form an exception to this and these can be processed in accordance with the aforementioned statements, as well as data which are required within the framework of a corresponding use of contributions and/or contents by the organiser.

The data protection regulations of SKS GERMANY also apply. These are available on the website via the link “Privacy / GDPR”. You can also consult our data protection officers via the contact details provided for all matters related to data protection.

7. Severability clause
If individual provisions of these terms and conditions of participation are ineffective or if there is a loophole, this does not impact on the effectiveness of the remaining provisions. A provision which is as close as possible to the contractual purpose and the legal provisions is used in place of the ineffective or missing provisions.

8. Legal domicile / applicable law
German law will apply exclusively in the event of disputes. The main office of the organiser is agreed as the legal domicile provided that this is legally permissible. If the participant does not have a general legal domicile in Germany or moves their residence to another country following participation, the main office of the organiser is similarly agreed as the legal domicile.

9. Contact
Please contact the organiser for any questions in relation to the running of this competition and/or the processing and use of personal data. Responsibility for the processing of personal information within the scope of the prize draw lies with
