GENERAL COMPETITION RULES

  • These are the general competition rules of Monreef. If there are special competition rules for a competition, these general rules apply in addition to the special rules. In the event of any conflict between these regulations and the special competition regulations, the special regulations will take precedence.

  • Preface

    These competition rules determine the general rules with regard to the participation conditions for all competitions that Monreef organizes via its website, other online channels (such as Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok) or in any other way. If specific conditions apply to a competition, special competition rules will also be drawn up for that competition.

    The provisions of special competition rules take precedence over other provisions of these general competition rules.

  • Conditions of participation

    In principle, anyone who is 18 years or older at the time of the competition can participate in a Monreef competition, with the exception of employees of the Monreef and their immediate family members up to the first degree. Minors may only participate in a competition if they have the express consent of both parents or their guardian. If a minor takes part in a competition, de Monreef assumes that he / she has permission from his / her parents / guardian. If the minor cannot provide this consent, he or her may be denied further participation in the competition at any time, or his / her right to a prize be taken away.

    With the exception of any communication costs associated with the participation (eg paying fixed number, SMS, MMS,…), the participant does not owe any compensation or contribution to Monreef for participation in a competition.

    Only 1 member of the same family in the sense of a small family or living at the same address can win a prize in the context of the same competition. After winning a prize, the participant cannot automatically win another prize within the framework of competitions organized by Monreef for 4 weeks from the announcement of the winner. In the event that the participant would have been selected as the winner for two or more (quasi) simultaneous running matches of Monreef, the participant will only win the prize of the competition in which he took part first.

    2.4. Anyone who is declared the winner of a competition without fully complying with all participation conditions automatically loses their right to the prize, without any right to compensation and without any recourse.

  • Course of the competition

    If the competition is a knowledge question, the participant will be asked to provide the correct answer. If several participants submit a correct answer, the winner among them will be determined by a tiebreaker question or by drawing.

    In the event that the competition involves a creative input by the participant, such as a photo, drawing (or painting), text or video, the winner or winners will be determined by Monreef according to the assessment criteria set by him. By participating in a competition with creative input, the participant grants Monreef the permission to publish this creative input, without any compensation being due, and without any limitation in time and space: • to publish on the (whether or not for mobile use adapted website (s) of Monreef and other online channels (such as Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Pinterest…); The participant declares to have the necessary rights (intellectual property rights and personality rights) to allow this use of his creative contribution and indemnifies Monreef against all possible claims in connection with his creative contribution. This means that a creative contribution must be original, may only be created by the participant (s) and that no copyright or otherwise protected material from third parties has been incorporated in it (unless he / she has all necessary permissions from the rightholders). Monreef is under no circumstances obliged to effectively publish and use a creative contribution and can remove a creative contribution at any time and for any reason.

  • Prizes

    The prize may not be exchanged or converted into cash in any way, through any channel.

    Monreef can change a price at any time for production or substantive reasons.

    The prize is limited to the “naked” prize as further described in the special competition rules or in another way. It can in no way be assumed that Monreef would provide or award additional services or products linked to the price.

    If the prize includes the right of access to participate in a certain activity (such as an event, guided visit, ...) then the prize also includes only that right of access, unless stated otherwise. It is the organizer of the activity who determines all 4 conditions. For example, he can request to be present at a specific time or place, or limit the right of access in time. If, for whatever reason, the winner cannot be present at the required time, he cannot claim compensation or compensation from Monreef and / or the organizer. If the organizer cancels the activity for any reason, the winner will not be entitled to an alternative prize or monetary compensation.

    If the prize is a gift voucher, its validity may be limited in time. If, for whatever reason, the winner cannot exchange the gift voucher before the expiry of its validity, he cannot claim any compensation or compensation from Monreef and / or the organizer.

    If the price concerns objects for which a guarantee scheme applies, the right to guarantee must be exercised directly with the manufacturer, importer or seller.
