2. Scope and competition-specific information

These terms and conditions apply to all competitions that the organizer runs on its channels at

Instagram ([@privatebraugasthoefe]) and Facebook ([@braugasthoefe]), including posts published jointly with a member business (cross-posting or joint posts). Specific details for each giveaway are provided exclusively in the respective giveaway post. This applies in particular to:

• the participation period and the participation deadline,

• the date of the draw,

• the member company that provides the profit and in which the profit may be transferred

to be redeemed.

The content specified in the respective contest post at the time of participation is decisive. If a contest post does not explicitly state a closing date for entries, the opportunity to participate ends seven (7) days after publication of the post at 11:59 p.m. (CET/CEST). If a contest post contains information that deviates from these terms and conditions, the information in the contest post takes precedence.

Instagram or Facebook are available.

Employees of the organizer and participating member companies, persons involved in the conception and implementation of the competition, and their respective family members are excluded from participation. Participation via automated services, competition clubs, multiple or fake accounts, and third parties is prohibited. Only one entry per person is permitted; multiple comments from the same person on the same competition post will be counted as one entry.

4. Participation

Participation is free and independent of the purchase of goods or services. No costs beyond your own internet connection will be incurred. Participation is achieved by fully completing the participation steps outlined in the respective competition post within the participation period. These typically include:

1 follow the organizer's channel as well as the channel of the participating member company,

2 Like the competition post and

3 Comment on the competition post.

Comments that violate applicable law, the terms of service or community standards of the respective platform, or accepted ethical standards will not be considered. By participating, participants acknowledge and accept these terms of participation.

5. Win

The type and scope of the prize are specified in the respective competition entry. The prize is provided by the member business named therein. Cash payment, exchange, or transfer of the prize to other persons is excluded. Any incidental expenses associated with claiming the prize (e.g., travel, accommodation, additional food and beverage costs) are the responsibility of the winners themselves, unless otherwise stated in the competition entry. If the prize is to be redeemed at the member business, redemption must be arranged in advance and must take place within 6 months of notification of the win, unless a different deadline is specified in the competition entry. Any applicable taxes on the prize are the responsibility of the winners.

6. Determining the winners

The winners will be determined by the organizer after the participation period has ended, through a random selection from all participants who have fully met the participation requirements. The draw is not public. Legal recourse regarding the selection of the winners is excluded.

7. Notification and delivery of the prize

The winner will be notified within seven days of the draw by replying to the competition post and/or by direct message via the respective platform.

Winners are requested to contact the organizer within seven (7) days of receiving notification and provide the information necessary for prize delivery. If no response is received within this period, the prize claim will be forfeited; in this case, the organizer is entitled to draw a substitute winner.

9. Premature termination and modification of the competition

The organizer reserves the right to cancel, terminate, or modify the competition in whole or in part at any time without prior notice if proper execution cannot be guaranteed for technical or legal reasons. This does not give rise to any claim by the participants.

10. Liability

The organizer is liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, as well as for damages caused by intent or gross negligence. In the case of a slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the event and on whose compliance participants may regularly rely), liability is limited to the foreseeable damages typical for this type of contract. Otherwise, liability is excluded. Mandatory legal provisions, in particular those under the [relevant legal provision], remain unaffected.
