Once the promotion has ended, information will be collected from the participants who meet the requirements mentioned and who have participated during the validity of the promotion.

The winners of the prizes indicated in this Regulation will be selected from among all those persons who have participated, through a random drawing to be held on September 14, 2021, at the headquarters of Ferreterías EPA; the drawing will be carried out by those in charge of the Marketing Department. An Act / Sworn Statement must be drawn up regarding this situation before 2 witnesses, stating the names of the winning Participants and their respective alternates; a total of 2 alternates will be selected. This information may also be presented to a Notary Public so that they may attest to the fulfillment of the requirements and the process of the Promotion by means of a Notarial Act, in accordance with this Regulation. The organizer reserves the right to modify the mentioned date of the drawing for convenience, provided that the chances of being selected for each of the participants are not modified.

Next, the correct participation of the selected winner will be verified. In the event that they do not meet the requirements, the selected person is discarded and the first alternate is verified following the same protocol, and so on until the alternate winners are exhausted. In the event that the participation meets all requirements, the winner will be contacted via a private message to the "EPA Costa Rica" Facebook page and will have a period of one (1) business day once the message is sent to report and send their personal data (full name, identification number, phone, etc.), in order to contact the winning winner via telephone within a maximum period of three (3) business days.

Likewise, the winning participant may not claim or request from Ferretería EPA S.A. any additional expense generated by the collection of the Prize, such as transport or the cost associated with it in case of not having the necessary means to transport and/or install it in the place they freely decide.

Likewise, the winning Participant authorizes Ferretería EPA S.A., in a free and spontaneous manner, to use their image rights and name in promotional campaigns and any type of advertising carried out by Ferretería EPA S.A., without being able to request any remuneration for it.

The awarding of any of the prizes will be conditioned upon compliance with each and every applicable law and regulation, as well as compliance with the provisions of this Regulation.
