11. Facebook, Instagram and TikTok waiver
The competition carries no affiliation to Facebook, Instagram or TikTok and is not sponsored, supported or organised by Facebook, Instagram or TikTok in any way. Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are not responsible for any content associated to this competition. VE Refinery is at the receiving end of all information provided by participants. All information provided is used exclusively to establish the winner of this competition and is thereafter professionally deleted and/ or destroyed. The data is never passed onto third parties. Throughout the course of this competition, VE Refinery follows TikTok, Instagram and Facebook‘s "Guidelines for Promotions" as well as Swiss law regarding competitions (Lottery Law, Lottery Act, trading legislation and Code of Obligations). All related questions, comments and complaints should not be directed to Facebook, Instagram or TikTok but to us via hello@ve-refinery.ch.
12. Liability
The participant guarantees that his/ her contribution does not include any competition, brand or copyright infringements. Moreover, the participant guarantees that he/ she is the owner of all usage and protection rights associated to text and pictures (in particular but not limited to copyright and trademark rights), unencumbered by third parties‘ claims. Moreover, he/ she guarantees that the text/ or picture does not break any law and does not contain any insults, false facts, pornography, racist or otherwise offensive or illegal content.
13. Other
We can at any time change the requirements regarding participation or winning eligibility. If there is a good reason, we have the right to end or suspend the competition without warning. A discontinuation could follow for important reasons, in particular if an orderly continuation can no longer be guaranteed on account of technical or legal reasons. We can exclude individual participants if we have proof of individuals breaking participation eligibility requirements, (attempted) rigging, etc. Legal action may be taken. Where the conditions exist for exclusion, prizes can be subsequently revoked or claimed back. In the event of an exclusion on justifiable grounds, the participant is not entitled to make any claims against us. Should individual clauses in the participation requirements be made void, the validity of the remaining participant requirements remains unaffected. The invalid clauses are then substituted by an individual and appropriate provision, which most closely matches the purpose of the invalid clause.
No correspondence will be conducted. The judges‘ decision is final.
