"Pulidora + Polishing" Promotion Rules

These Regulations (hereinafter the “Regulations”) aim to establish, define, and limit the terms and conditions of the promotion that will be carried out and organized by FERRETERÍA EPA SA, corporate tax ID 3-101-354271, who shall be referred to hereinafter and for the purposes of these Regulations as “The Organizer” and/or Ferretería Epa SA / EPA”.

The provisions herein shall be mandatory for Participants (see definition of Participant below) who voluntarily, and in compliance with these provisions, decide to participate in the Promotion held by EPA. Participation in the Promotion implies that the Participant acknowledges and respects these rules and procedures, which shall be considered final with respect to the Promotion and are known and accepted as final. Any violation of said rules and/or procedures established for the Promotion will imply the immediate exclusion of the Participant, without any liability on the part of Ferretería EPA SA.

By virtue of the above, by the mere act of participating in the Promotion, Participants accept all the rules of these Regulations unconditionally, including those clauses that limit the Sponsor’s liability. Likewise, they agree to submit to the Organizer’s decisions in any matter related to the Promotion.

The granting of any of the prizes will be conditional upon compliance with each and every applicable law, as well as the provisions of these Regulations. The Organizer reserves the right to disqualify and/or demand the return of prizes and/or benefits granted to those participants who directly or indirectly fail to comply with the rules and conditions established herein.


SECTION A. GENERAL PROVISIONS:

Article A1: Regarding the Promotion: The purpose of these Regulations is to establish, regulate, limit, and clarify the guidelines and/or conditions under which the Promotion named “PULIDORA + POLISHING” (hereinafter referred to as the “Promotion”) will be governed, which belongs to and is primarily sponsored by Ferretería EPA SA (hereinafter referred to as the “Sponsor” and/or the “Organizer”).

Article A2: This Promotion is for a limited time, starting at 12:00 hours on March 29, 2019, and ending at 23:59 hours on March 31, 2019, or until total stock of the prize, which is specified and informed in Annex A of these Regulations, is exhausted. Whichever comes first.

Article A3: Any individual who wishes to participate in this Promotion may do so, provided they are of legal age and possess a valid, up-to-date personal identification document recognized by the Government of the Republic of Costa Rica.

Article A4: The Promotion is directed at individuals, final consumers of Ferretería EPA SA. Therefore, manufacturers, distributors, resellers, legal entities, government entities, and other persons considered as such shall not participate in this Promotion.

The Organizer reserves the right to disqualify from the Promotion or to demand the return of prizes granted by virtue of these Regulations when there are well-founded reasons to believe that the participant is not acquiring products for their personal use or that of their family circle, but rather with the intent to resell, distribute, or with the intent to acquire the participating items for the sole purpose of participating in the Promotion and subsequently returning said products before the promotion period ends.

The fact that a person participates a number of times that significantly exceeds what is reasonable and expected of an average contestant (3 times per day) will lead the Organizers to presume that their participation has been manipulated for the purpose of increasing their probability of winning.

Article A5: The following terms starting with capital letters and definitions used in these Regulations shall have the meaning established, with the understanding that such meaning shall be applicable to both the singular and plural forms thereof.

“Customer or Participant” means any of the individuals who participate in the Promotion with the limitations of Articles A3 and A4, both of these Regulations.

“Points of Sale” means solely and exclusively through purchases made on the digital platform epaenlinea.com.

“Personal Data” means the data that each Participant must provide to the stand promoter(s) to register the invoice, which are (i) Full Name; (ii) Valid and up-to-date personal identification number, duly recognized by the Government of the Republic of Costa Rica; (iii) Phone numbers; (iv) Proof of purchase number. Such information will be used solely by the Organizer for the purposes of the Promotion, a situation to which customers consent; therefore, it may not be used for commercial or advertising purposes.
