ARTICLE FIVE: DRAWING PROCEDURE AND PRIZE COLLECTION.

Once the promotion has concluded, all entries that meet the mentioned requirements and participated during the validity of the promotion will be compiled.

The winners of the prizes indicated in this Regulation will be selected from among all those who have participated. The random drawing will take place on February 16, 2021, at the central offices of Ferreterías EPA, and will be conducted by those in charge of the Marketing Department. A Minute/Affidavit shall be drawn up before 2 witnesses regarding the names of the winning Participants and their respective alternates; a total of 2 alternates will be selected. This information may also be presented before a Notary Public so that they may attest to the compliance with the requirements and the process of the Promotion by drawing up 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 favored 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 selection 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 private message on the "EPA Costa Rica" Facebook page and will have a period of one (1) business day once the message is sent to report back and send their personal data (full name, identification number, phone, etc.) in order to contact the favored winner by phone within a maximum period of (3) business days. In the event that the selected person cannot be reached within a maximum of 3 call attempts during this period, the next corresponding alternate winner will be contacted following the same protocol, and so on until the alternate winners are exhausted. Once all winners are confirmed, the announcement of the winners will be made. The winner will be announced starting February 22, provided that all of the above mentioned in this article has been verified; otherwise, the organizer reserves the right to modify the announcement date until all the necessary data for publication has been correctly verified. The winner will be announced only on the "EPA Costa Rica" Facebook page in a post on the wall.

After the aforementioned drawing is held and the respective person favored and/or winner of the prize is identified, in accordance with the previous Articles of this Regulation, and once the winner is contacted following the procedure by an EPA representative, they will be indicated the place, date, and time for the delivery and collection of the corresponding Prize. In this sense, the winner must sign a receipt for their prize, as well as a release of liability document for Ferretería EPA S.A., where all the limitations and conditions of the granted Prize will be expressed, releasing the Sponsor from all liability for the use and/or consumption thereof. Likewise, the favored winner may not claim or request any additional expense from Ferretería EPA S.A. generated by the collection of the Prize, such as transport or the cost associated with it, in the event that they do not have the necessary means to transport and/or install it in the place they freely decide.

If the conditions established in this Regulation are not met or if the necessary verification of the official winner's data cannot be performed, an alternate winner will be automatically selected and the data verification and prize delivery will proceed taking into account the specifications of this Regulation.

The Winner must collect their Prize within a period of no more than 1 month from the moment they are contacted by Ferretería EPA S.A. collaborators, at the hours, days, and place established to collect the previously agreed-upon Prize.

Failure to do so will result in the loss of the right to the same, and the winner will not be able to claim damages and/or losses from Ferretería EPA S.A. as a result of the loss of the Prize. Said Prize CANNOT be assigned under any circumstances to a family member, spouse, child, or third party, given that the purpose of the promotion is for the fan and/or follower who made the comment and presented their valid identification card to be the beneficiary of the Prize. Likewise, the favored Participant authorizes Ferretería EPA S.A., freely and spontaneously, 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.

In the event that the Participant has accepted the Prize but, for any reason, refuses to receive it or to complete the respective paperwork for formalization, the favored party will lose their right to the Prize. A Notarial Act will be drawn up regarding these circumstances at the Organizer's discretion. The granting of any of the prizes will be conditioned upon compliance with each and every one of the applicable laws and regulations, as well as compliance with the provisions of this Regulation. The organizer reserves the right to disqualify and/or demand the return of the prizes awarded to those participants who directly or indirectly breach the terms and conditions previously established herein. If the winner does not demonstrate their willingness to accept these conditions, the organizers will not assume any type of responsibility, exonerating themselves from the obligation to allow participation and the delivery of a prize or benefit.
