Terms and Conditions in Competitions
1. General Information
Participation in competitions organized by Vonmählen GmbH is only possible under the terms and conditions outlined here. By participating in the competition, participants accept these conditions. The competition is not tied to the use of any specific social network. Vonmählen currently uses Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn for contests, and the contests are in no way sponsored, supported, or organized by the respective social networks. Vonmählen reserves the right to cancel or terminate the competition at any time without prior notice or explanation.
2. Terms of Participation, Duration, and Prize
The requirements for participation, the duration of the competition, the prizes, and information about the prize draw can be found in the description of the contest post on the respective social network or in the email newsletter. To participate in our contests, your profile must be public and include a reference to a social network. Individuals aged 18 and older who reside in Germany or Austria are eligible to participate. Individuals under 18 may only participate with the consent of their legal guardian.
Only one registration per participant using a single email address is permitted.
Using multiple email addresses to increase chances of winning is not allowed.
The winner is responsible for covering any additional costs incurred from claiming the prize.
3. Usage Rights
Images that violate Instagram’s guidelines, German law, and/or copyright laws will be removed without prior notice after notification. The participant will then be excluded from the competition. By providing content, particularly images, participants declare that the content is free of third-party rights, meaning it either originates from them or they have obtained the consent of the creators as well as the consent of the individuals depicted in the images or videos. Participants indemnify the organizer against all claims by third parties arising from the content provided by the participants. Participants agree to reasonably assist the organizer in defending against such claims.
4. Prize Processing
It is not possible to redeem the prize for cash, exchange it, or transfer it to another person. Winners will be notified via the direct messaging function of the respective social network or via email. Winners must provide their contact details and address within 5 business days (from the date of prize notification) via "direct message" to the Vonmählen page on the respective social network or to the provided email address. If winners do not confirm acceptance of the prize within this period, their claim to the prize expires without compensation. There is no obligation to accept the prize. If a participant does not confirm acceptance of the prize within one week, the prize will be forfeited. If the contact information provided (e.g., email addresses) is incorrect, the organizer is not obligated to research the correct details. Any disadvantages resulting from providing incorrect contact information are the responsibility of the participant.
5. Data Protection
To the extent that personal data of participants is collected as part of the competition, this data will be collected, processed, and used exclusively for the purpose of conducting the competition by the organizer and deleted within 7 days after the competition ends. The participant agrees to this. The participant may revoke this consent at any time in writing via letter, fax, or email. The participant is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data they provide.
6. Final Provisions
Legal recourse is excluded.
