In particular, the Promoter shall not be liable under this provision for any loss or damage arising from the impairment of the availability of the competition site in the event of technical faults or force majeure events over which it has no control. However, the Promoter will make every effort to ensure the reliability and operability of the competition site. Furthermore, the Promoter does not guarantee that the Facebook and Instagram competition platforms will function properly on the respective participant terminal.
Finally, the organiser is not liable for any infringement of the rights of third parties by the participant, in particular in the event of a breach of the participant's obligations under § 6.
In the event of a breach of these conditions of participation, the organiser reserves the right to exclude the participant from the competition. In such cases, prizes may also be subsequently withdrawn and reclaimed.
Insofar as the liability of the organiser is excluded or limited in accordance with the provisions of this exclusion of liability, this also applies to the personal liability of organs, employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

The organiser shall observe all data protection regulations within the scope of the competition. The organiser will not pass on any personal data to third parties or sell address data. The organiser will store the personal data of each participant solely for the purpose of the competition.

§ 10 Place of Jurisdiction / Applicable Law

In the event of disputes, German law shall apply exclusively. As far as legally permissible, the organiser's registered office is agreed as the place of jurisdiction. If the participant does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or moves his/her place of residence abroad after participation, the organiser's registered office is also agreed as the place of jurisdiction.

§ 11 Reservation of right to make changes

The Promoter reserves the right to cancel the competition at any time without prior notice for good cause. In the event of termination of the competition for good cause, the organiser shall inform the participants thereof without delay.

The organiser accepts no liability for lost chances of winning due to technical connection problems or similar. Cancellation shall not affect the entitlement of winners who have already been determined.
Furthermore, the organiser may amend or supplement these terms and conditions of participation and the implementation of the competition at any time within the scope of the statutory provisions. In the event of such changes, participants will receive a notice requesting their consent. In the event of an objection, the competition may be terminated immediately by either party.
