These conditions of participation apply unless it is expressly agreed that different conditions of participation apply. Any participant’s conditions of participation that are different from, contradict or provide additions to these conditions of participation are hereby rejected. These conditions of participation apply even if Hoval allows a participant to participate in the competition without Hoval being aware of conditions of participation that deviate from or contradict these conditions of participation. By participating in the competition, the participant declares that they agree to these conditions of participation.

d) Providing incorrect or misleading information when participating in the competition

Only the prizes specified for the competition in question shall be awarded. The winner shall be determined from all eligible participants who have submitted their entry form within the specified period.

The winner shall be determined after the end of the entry period by drawing a name at random from all the participants. Hoval shall be solely responsible for the draw.

The prize winner shall be notified via email shortly afterwards and must confirm that they have received this notification within two weeks. If they do not confirm this within two weeks, Hoval shall be entitled to determine a new winner through another random draw. The prize shall be handed over solely to the winner.

Unless otherwise agreed, the prize shall be sent to the winner by post, using the address provided upon entry.

The winner shall be solely responsible for paying any taxes on the prize.

No cash equivalent shall be granted and the winner may not exchange the prize or collect it themselves. The winner accepts any changes to the prize that become necessary for reasons outside Hoval’s responsibility.

By accepting the prize, the winner consents to Hoval publishing their full name on the company website and social media channels, particularly Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Hoval expressly reserves the right to end the competition without prior notice and without the need to give any reason. This particularly applies in the event of any circumstances arising that would disrupt or prevent the competition running as planned.

Hoval shall not be liable for any damage that arises from participation in the competition or in connection with the competition, unless there has been a deliberate or grossly negligent breach of legal duties. Additionally, Hoval shall not be liable for damage arising from the availability of the competition website being disrupted by technical problems, attacks by third parties or other force majeure circumstances outside Hoval’s responsibility. Hoval shall do everything that is technically feasible to ensure that the competition website remains reliable and functional. Additionally, Hoval makes no guarantee that the competition website will function correctly on the participant’s device.

Hoval reserves the right to end or amend the competition at any time without prior notice if the competition cannot be guaranteed run correctly for technical or other reasons or if it appears that the integrity of the competition has been compromised. This shall not give rise to any claims on the part of the participants.

In addition to these conditions of participation, the policies put in place by Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn apply to the competition. The competition is in no way sponsored, supported or organised by Facebook. Hoval is the sole point of contact and bears sole responsibility.
