CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION IN THE CHIO AACHEN LIVE-QUIZ 

The following terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions of Participation”) apply exclusively to the participation and realisation of the competition. Insofar as the masculine form is used in the conditions of participation, the term applies accordingly to female and diverse persons:

1 Organiser

The competition is organised exclusively by the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein e.V. (ALRV), Albert-Servais-Allee 50, 52070 Aachen (“Organiser”).

2 Competition period

The competition will be held on 07.07.2024 in the period between 14:30 and 16:00 (“competition period”).

3 Eligibility to participate

3.1 Only natural persons with legal capacity who have reached the age of 18 are eligible to participate in the competition. The Organiser reserves the right to request proof of age and to refuse participation (possibly retroactively) if this is not provided.

3.2 There is no entitlement to participate in the competition. Participation in the competition is voluntary and free of charge.

3.3 Employees of the organiser and Aachener Reitturnier GmbH and their family members are excluded from participation in the competition. All persons involved in the conception and realisation of the competition and their family members are also not eligible to participate in the competition. Participation via competition agencies or other third parties who charge a fee for their services is not permitted.

3.4 The Organiser reserves the right, at its own discretion, to exclude persons from participation if there are justified reasons, in particular (a) in the event of manipulation in connection with access to or implementation of the competition, (b) in the event of unfair conduct or (c) in the event of false or misleading information in connection with participation in the competition. Sections 9 and 10 remain unaffected.

4 Procedure of the competition

4.1 Participation takes place by taking part in the CHIO Aachen Live Quiz, which will be made available to visitors of the CHIO Aachen 2024 in the main stadium as part of the CHIO Aachen STAWAG TV in the CHIO Aachen App after the announcement of the moderator.

4.2 By participating in the competition, the participant expressly recognises these conditions of participation.

4.3 Each person may only participate once. It is strictly forbidden to use multiple accounts to increase the chances of winning. Violations will result in immediate exclusion from the competition.

5 Prize

5.1 The prize of the CHIO Aachen Live Quiz on 07.07.2024 includes two tickets for the CHIO Aachen CAMPUS Live-Training with Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and Benjamin Werndl.

5.2 After the closing date for entries, a winner will be chosen from all participants according to a points system for the most correct answers and the best answering speed.

5.3 The prize is non-transferable (see section 9 in particular) and cannot be paid out in cash. It is also not possible to exchange the prize. The participant is responsible for any taxation of the prize.

6 Change of the prize

The organiser reserves the right to change the prize at any time without prior notice. The participant is not entitled to any claims (e.g. compensation) if the prize is changed by the organiser.

7 Postponement/Cancellation/Cancellation

In the event of unforeseen circumstances that make it impossible to hold the event, the organiser is entitled to cancel, postpone or, if necessary, terminate the event.

7.1 If the event is postponed or cancelled, the prize remains valid. In this case, the participant can return the prize free of charge (e-mail is sufficient). The participant is not entitled to any claims (e.g. compensation for damages or expenses). This also applies if an event is cancelled.

7.2 If the event is cancelled or if it has to take place in whole or in part with the exclusion of spectators in accordance with a competent association or authority, the prize shall be forfeited without compensation. In such cases, the organiser shall not be liable to the participant for futile expenses (e.g. futile travel and accommodation costs).

8 Notification and transfer of the prize

8.1 The winner will be informed promptly after the end of the competition via a display in the live quiz window on their own mobile phone screen.

8.2 The participant must respond within the same day after the prize notification has been sent. If the participant does not respond within the same day of the prize notification being sent, a new winner will be determined.

8.3 If the winner has provided contact details and these are incorrect (e.g. email address), the Organiser is not obliged to determine the correct details. Any disadvantages resulting from the provision of incorrect contact details shall be borne by the winner.

8.4 The prize must be collected personally by the winner following the competition. The pick-up location will be communicated by the moderator in the stadium after the end of the competition.

8.5 The winner’s full name may be published.

9 Prohibition of disclosure

The prize is awarded exclusively for private, non-commercial use by the participant. Commercial or non-commercial resale or use is prohibited and remains the sole right of the organiser. In particular, the participant is prohibited from publicising the prize

– offer or sell the prize publicly, in particular at auctions or on the Internet (e.g. on eBay, classified ads, Facebook) or on sales platforms not authorised by the Organiser (e.g. viagogo etc.); or

– to sell or pass on to commercial or business resellers or ticket dealers; or

– to use or allow to be used commercially or commercially without the express prior written consent of the Organiser, in particular for the purposes of advertising, marketing, as a bonus, as a promotional gift, as a prize or as part of an unauthorised hospitality or travel package.

In the event of a breach of this provision, the Organiser is entitled not to deliver the prize to the Participant before handover or dispatch, to block the tickets concerned and to refuse the Participant access to the tournament site without compensation or to expel him/her from the tournament site and to impose an appropriate contractual penalty of up to EUR 2,000.00 on the Participant.

10 Violation of the conditions of participation

In the event of a breach or reasonable suspicion of a breach of the conditions of participation by the participant, the organiser is entitled to exclude the respective participant with immediate effect. In such a case, the organiser is entitled to disallow the prize or, if necessary, demand its return.

11 Premature termination of the competition

The organiser reserves the right to cancel or terminate the competition at any time for good cause without prior notice and without giving reasons. Good cause shall be deemed to exist in particular if, for technical or legal reasons, the proper organisation of the competition can no longer be guaranteed. Claims for damages are excluded in this case.

12 Liability

The organiser is only liable for damages incurred by the winner due to material defects or defects of title in the event of malice, intent or gross negligence, otherwise liability for material defects or defects of title is excluded, unless the breach concerns an obligation that is essential for achieving the purpose of the contract (cardinal obligation). In this case, the organiser shall be liable for the foreseeable, typically occurring damage. The organiser is liable without limitation for culpably caused damage to life, body or health.

13  Tournament rules

The participant will be sent the organiser’s tournament rules when the prize is sent. The participant recognises these rules as binding and undertakes to comply with the relevant regulations.

14 Amendments and changes

In the event of a change in market conditions or the legal situation or supreme court rulings, the organiser is entitled to amend or change these conditions of participation, provided that the change is reasonable for the participant, taking into account the interests of the organiser. The participant will be notified of all changes. The additions or amendments shall be deemed approved if the participant has not objected to them in writing or online in the specified manner (e.g. by e-mail) within a period of four weeks after receipt of the amendments or additions, provided that the organiser has expressly referred to this fiction of approval in the notification.

15 Choice of law, legal process

German law shall apply. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. Recourse to the courts is excluded. The place of jurisdiction is, as far as permissible, Aachen.

16 Final clause

Should individual clauses of these conditions of participation be invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining clauses or the remaining parts of such clauses. In the event that a provision is invalid, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace it with a provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision. The same applies to a loophole in these conditions of participation.
