By participating, each participant accepts these conditions of participation. Only natural persons over the age of 18 who are resident in Germany are eligible to participate and win. By participating, each participant agrees that his/her profile name may be used by GLS Germany to determine the winners of the competition in compliance with the statutory data protection provisions. By participating, the participant warrants that all information provided by him/her is true and correct. Furthermore, the participant agrees that he/she may be contacted by GLS Germany via Facebook or Instagram for the purpose of notifying the winner if he/she has been determined as the winner. In this case and for the delivery of the prize, his address may also be stored and used. The stored data will be deleted no later than 6 months after the end of the sweepstakes.
Participation by:
To participate in the sweepstakes, participants must comment, hashtag, like, heart or share the post under the sweepstakes post on the official GLS Facebook or Instagram page. For exact conditions of participation, please refer to the current sweepstakes post.
The prize/period of the sweepstakes:
Please see our current sweepstakes post for details on the prizes and the entry deadline. The prizes cannot be paid out in cash or exchanged. If the winner(s) do not respond within one week, the claim to the prize will be forfeited. After the end of the sweepstakes, the winners will be drawn in a timely manner.
Determination of winners and notification of winners:
After the expiration of the designated sweepstakes period, the winners will be drawn at random from all participants by the GLS Social Media Team. Winners will then be notified of their win by GLS Germany via comment or private message. Thereafter, the winners will contact GLS Germany via private message (with name and delivery address) for the purpose of address determination. If one or more winners do not get back to us with their address within one week, they will forfeit their claim to the prize. For data protection reasons, we ask participants not to leave addresses on the pinboard or as a public comment. The prize packages will be delivered by GLS Germany to the delivery address in Germany provided by the winner within two weeks of receiving the winner's delivery address.
Exclusion from the competition:
GLS Germany has the right to exclude participants from participating in the sweepstakes who manipulate or attempt to manipulate the entry process, the sweepstakes and/or the offer, who culpably violate entry rules or GLS netiquette, or otherwise attempt to influence the sweepstakes and/or the entry process in an unfair manner. In this case, the corresponding Facebook or Instagram postings may be deleted. In such cases, GLS Germany is also entitled to subsequently disallow and reclaim any prizes that have already been handed out.
Reservation of right to change:
GLS Germany reserves the right to cancel a competition at any time for good cause and without prior notice. This applies in particular in the event of force majeure and if the competition cannot be carried out or continued for other organizational, technical or legal reasons or if manipulations become apparent.
