Preliminary remark

Participation in the marketing campaign of Rupa Werbe Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, hereinafter referred to as the organiser, is free of charge and does not constitute any obligation to purchase.

§ 1 Procedure

The duration of the marketing campaign depends on the publicised participation period. Within this period, participants will have the opportunity to take part in the marketing campaign.

§ 2 Participation

In order to participate in the marketing campaign, it is necessary to register in the marketing portal or on the social media platform and to answer or fulfil the question or task, unless mere registration is already sufficient for participation.

In the event of a win, the organiser will ask the winners to provide personal details (first name, surname and address), which the winners must submit to the organiser within 7 days of notification. The submission of this personal data will be used to transfer the prize. Participants warrant that the personal details they have provided, in particular their first name, surname and address, are true and correct. If this information is not provided or is incorrect, the entitlement to the prize will be forfeited. In this case, the organiser is entitled to select a winner subject to the further requirements of these conditions of participation.
