To participate in the prize draw, users must complete the customer satisfaction survey and register their information on the consent form. Participation is only possible within the entry period. Entries received after the closing date will not be considered in the draw.

Should a participant be restricted in his legal capacity, the consent of his legal representative is required.

Employees and family members of the Pepperl+Fuchs Group and its subsidiaries are excluded from participation. In addition the Organiser reserves the right, at its discretion, to exclude persons from participation if there are justified reasons, for example;

(a) in the event of manipulation in connection with access to or implementation of the competition, (b) in the event of violations of these conditions of participation, (c) in the event of unfair practices or (d) in the event of false or misleading information in connection with participation in the competition.

Winning, notification, and transmission of the prize

The following prizes will be awarded:

2 x £50 All4One voucher (2 in total).

The winners will be determined after the closing date for entries as part of a random prize draw among all participants.

The winners of the prize draw will be informed of the prize in a timely manner via a separate email.

The prize will only be handed over to the winner. An exchange, a self-pickup, or cash payment of the prize is not possible.

Any costs incurred for the shipment of the prizes will be borne by the Organiser. Any additional costs associated with claiming the prize shall be borne by the winner. The winner is responsible for any taxation on the prize. The Organiser assumes no liability for defects of the prize itself – except in cases of intent and gross negligence.

If the winner does not respond after two requests within a period of three weeks, the prize may be transferred to another participant.

Termination of the competition

The organiser 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.

The Operator’s competition is subject exclusively to the laws of the GDPR. The legal process is excluded.

Severability clause

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions of Participation is or becomes invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Participation. Instead of the invalid provision, the legally permissible provision that comes closest in economic terms to the meaning and purpose expressed in the invalid provision shall apply. The same shall apply in the event of a loophole in these Terms and Conditions of Participation.
