Conditions of participation

Participation in the competition of the Chocolate Museum Cologne, hereinafter referred to as the operator or organizer, is free of charge and is governed exclusively by these conditions of participation.

To take part in the competition, you must like or comment on a post from the Chocolate Museum. Participation is only necessary within the specified participation period. Entries received after the closing date will not be considered in the draw.

Only one submitted registration per participant will be entered into the competition. It is strictly forbidden to use multiple email addresses or multiple Facebook profiles to increase your chances of winning.

Participation in the competition is free of charge.

Eligible participants

Natural persons are eligible to participate. Participation is not limited to customers of the organizer and is not dependent on the purchase of goods or services.

If a participant has limited legal capacity, the consent of their legal representative is required.

All persons involved in the conception and implementation of the competition and employees of the operator, as well as their family members, are not eligible to participate in the competition. In addition, the operator reserves the right to exclude persons from participation at its own discretion if there are justified reasons, for example

(a) in the event of manipulation in connection with access to or execution of the competition,

(b) in the event of breaches of these conditions of participation,

(c) in the event of unfair trading or

(d) in the event of false or misleading information in connection with participation in the competition.

Winning, notification and transfer of the prize

As soon as a winner is determined, the draw ends. The winner(s) will be informed by a personal message.

The prize will be sent by post. For this purpose, the winner must provide his/her address. All data will be deleted immediately after the prize has been handed over by the organizer; the winner(s) declare(s) their consent to this. The participant is aware that messages via Facebook may end up in the miscellaneous folder and are therefore not immediately displayed. Participants are advised to call up the competition post approx. 24 hours after the closing date so that they can independently find out the name of the winner(s) listed. Users who do not respond to a prize notification within one week forfeit their claim to the prize. Prizes can only be sent to addresses in Germany.

Termination of the competition

The organizer expressly reserves the right to terminate the competition without prior notice and without giving reasons. This applies in particular to any reasons that would disrupt or prevent the competition from running as planned.

Data protection

Personal data must be provided in order to take part in the competition. The participant assures that the personal details provided by him/her, in particular first name, surname and email address, are true and correct, and the organizer points out that all personal data of the participant will neither be passed on to third parties nor made available to them for use without consent.
