Competition T&Cs

1. General

These are the General Terms and Conditions for competitions organized by Golf House Direktversand GmbH and Golf House GmbH directly or in conjunction with a cooperation partner of Golf House Direktversand GmbH.

Legal recourse is excluded.

2. Online competitions

The online competition is organized by Golf House in cooperation with various other partners who provide the prizes for the competitions (prize sponsors). Golf House represents these cooperation partners and prize sponsors during the implementation of the competition and promises the prizes donated by them solely on their behalf. The respective prize sponsor is the sole promoter within the meaning of §657 BGB. Golf House is not obliged to provide any service of its own, unless Golf House itself is the sponsor of the prize in the specific case.

3. Conditions of participation

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any natural person of legal age is eligible to participate. Minors may not take part in competitions. For competitions with travel prizes in which rental vehicles are offered, the minimum age is 25 years. Prizes will not be distributed to minors. The following are also excluded from participation

a) Employees of Golf House Direktversand GmbH, Constantin Medien AG, the respective production companies responsible for the content, the participating providers, the participating prize sponsors and their respective relatives and legal representatives.

b) Persons who make use of unauthorized aids or otherwise gain advantages through manipulation.

The closing date for entries will be announced during each competition.

5. Implementation and processing

If several participants have found the correct solution in a competition, the winner will be drawn by lot.

Participation in the competition may require the provision of personal data, e.g. surname, first name, address, age, telephone number if applicable. All of this personal data will be treated by Golf House in accordance with the legal provisions (in particular data protection).

A winner will be informed of a win either in writing or by telephone. If the notification is made by telephone, Golf House will leave a message if the winner cannot be reached personally, if technically possible. The winner must inform Golf House within a period of 7 days whether he/she accepts the prize. If this deadline is not met, Golf House is entitled to draw a new winner and award the prize elsewhere. Claims for compensation by the initially drawn winner against Golf House are excluded.

A claim to a prize arises exclusively upon receipt of a prize notification from Golf House or other persons authorized by Golf House. The participant is responsible for the accuracy of the data provided. The personal details must be true, otherwise the participant will be excluded from the competition.

Golf House would like to point out that no further confirmation of the winner is required by calling back a premium service, mass communication service, shared-cost service or similar value-added numbers. Such requests do not originate from Golf House; we therefore strongly recommend ignoring such requests.

Golf House reserves the right to cancel or terminate a competition at any time without prior notice. Golf House makes use of this option in particular if, for technical or legal reasons, the proper execution of the game cannot be guaranteed. If such a termination was caused by the behavior of a participant, Golf House can demand compensation from this person for the damage incurred.

6. Winnings

Golf House will not reimburse any incidental or travel costs associated with the prize. There is no entitlement to substitute cash payment of non-cash prizes or to their subsequent modification. The prize claim is not transferable.

Golf House accepts no liability for damages incurred by a participant through the acceptance or use of prizes handed out. The entitlement to a prize lapses if the prize cannot be sent within six months of the first notification of the prize for reasons attributable to the winner.

Prizes in kind will not be paid out in cash under any circumstances. This also applies if the prize is no longer available in the version presented. The winner will then receive an equivalent replacement or a voucher from the cooperation partner to the value of the original prize. A voucher must be redeemed, and vouchers will not be paid out in cash. The claim to a prize or any replacement cannot be assigned.

b) Prizes in kind
The item presented as a prize in the competition is not necessarily identical to the item won. In fact, there may be deviations in terms of model, color, etc. The prize sponsor may select an item of medium type and quality equivalent to the item presented as a prize. Prizes in kind (with the exception of a car) and prize vouchers will be delivered directly by the prize sponsor or a third party commissioned by the prize sponsor to the address specified by the winner by forwarding agent, parcel service or post.

In the event that delivery is made by a forwarding agent, the forwarding agent will contact the winner to arrange a delivery date. Delivery is usually made on weekdays between 9.00 am and 6.00 pm. In addition to their address, the winner must provide an alternative address in their immediate vicinity. The winner agrees that the prize will be delivered to this alternative address if he/she is absent. If the shipping company does not find a person authorized to receive the prize at either the winner's address or the alternative address, a message will be left. The winner must bear the costs of a new delivery.

d) Travel
In the case of travel prizes, the prize will be processed exclusively through direct contact between the winner and the respective cooperation partner or a tour operator commissioned by the latter. If a travel date is not already specified in the competition itself, the cooperation partner or tour operator is solely responsible for determining the date of the trip. There is no entitlement to a specific travel date. If the trip is not carried out on the date or during the period specified by the prize sponsor or tour operator, there is no longer any entitlement to the prize.

Travel to and from the starting point of the trip (airport, train station, etc.) must be borne by the winner, unless otherwise stated in the competition or expressly agreed. The same applies to all costs incurred during the trip (minibar, telephone, etc.).

7. Data protection

The participant expressly agrees that the personal data provided by him/her may be stored by Golf House or a third party commissioned by Golf House. The participant also agrees that his/her data may be transmitted to the respective cooperation partner of the competition for the purpose of prize processing.

The participant is free at any time to revoke the consent given to Golf House in writing. The revocation must be sent to kundenservice@golfhouse.de.

8. Miscellaneous

Legal recourse is excluded. Should any of these terms and conditions be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining terms and conditions of participation and implementation. The conditions of participation and implementation may be changed by Golf House at any time without prior notice and without giving reasons. Amendments and ancillary agreements regarding the conditions for prize processing must be made in writing to be effective.

Depending on the competition, participation is possible, for example, by liking a post on our Facebook page, commenting on it or writing a message to Golf House as the operator of the Facebook page. In addition, the organizer sometimes holds creative competitions to determine a winner. To take part in such competitions, the participant must first post a photo/image or text on the Golf House Facebook page.

Additional conditions apply to such postings, as follows: The uploaded photo/image or the posted text entry must not infringe any third-party rights. It may therefore only be photos/images or texts that the participant has taken or created themselves. In particular, photos may not depict persons who do not consent to being depicted for this purpose, nor may they depict third-party works (architecture, art, brands, etc.) for which copyrights and/or ancillary copyrights exist and permission for use for this purpose does not exist.

Furthermore, uploaded photos/images or posted texts (e.g. poems) may not contain any illegal or immoral content, e.g. pornographic, inciting hatred, inhuman or otherwise contrary to the decency of all fair-minded people.

In the event of violations of these rules, the participant is responsible for any legal violations. In this respect, the participant shall fully indemnify Golf House against all third-party claims, including the necessary costs of legal defense and prosecution.

By posting the photo/image, the participant agrees that the photo/image may be published in the Golf House Facebook photo album, stating the participant's name (or Facebook profile name). The photo will only be used by us in connection with the competition. However, the participant is aware that posted photos/pictures or posted texts may also be discussed and linked via the Golf House website and third parties in social media (in particular Facebook).

For the use of the photo by Golf House, the participant transfers, free of charge, the right to reproduce and distribute the photo/image without temporal and spatial restrictions and to feed and store it in electronic databases (Facebook, Google image search and all services associated with these media), electronic data networks, telephone services, etc., and to use it for other purposes. the Organizer reserves the right to reproduce, distribute and store the images in electronic databases (Facebook, Google Image Search and all services associated with these media), electronic data networks, telephone services, etc. and to make them accessible to a large number of users by means of digital or other storage and transmission technology in such a way that they can receive the images on individual demand at short notice using a television, computer, cell phone including all transmission channels (cable, radio, microwave, satellite) and all methods (GSM, UMTS, etc.) and including all protocols (e.g. TCP/IP, http, WAP, HTML, XML, etc.). The organizer reserves the right not to publish photos/images or other posted contributions, or to publish them only in a shortened or modified form, provided that this does not distort the meaning or message.

The specific actions required to take part in a competition on the Golf House Facebook page can be found in the description of the competition on the relevant pinboard.

Participation after the specified date for the announcement of the prize is excluded. The electronically logged receipt by the organizer is decisive.
