ARTICLE FIVE: DRAW PROCEDURE AND PRIZE COLLECTION.

Once the promotion has concluded, the information of the participants who meet the requirements mentioned and who have 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 persons who have participated. The random draw will take place on August 22, 2022, at the central offices of Ferreterías EPA, and will be carried out by those in charge of the Marketing Department. A Record / Sworn Declaration must be drawn up regarding this situation before 2 witnesses, stating the names of the winning Participants and their respective substitutes; in total, 1 substitute 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 means of a Notarial Act, in accordance with this Regulation. The organizer reserves the right to modify the mentioned date of the draw for convenience as long as it does not modify the possibilities of being favored for each of the participants.

Next, the correct participation of the selected winner will be verified; in case they do not comply, the selected individual is discarded and the first substitute is verified following the same protocol, and so on until the substitute winners are exhausted. In the event that the participation meets all the requirements, the winner will be contacted via private message to the “EPA Costa Rica” Facebook page and will have a period of two (2) business days after the message is sent to report and send their personal data (full name, identification number, phone, etc.), in order to contact the favored winner by phone during a maximum period of (3) business days. In case of not locating the selected individual within a maximum of 3 call attempts during this period, the next corresponding substitute winner will be contacted following the same protocol, and so on until the substitute winners are exhausted. Once all winners are confirmed, the announcement of the winners will be made. The winner will be announced starting September 2, 2022, provided that everything mentioned above in this article has been verified; otherwise, the organizer reserves the right to modify the announcement date until all necessary data for the publication are correctly verified. The winner will be announced only via the “EPA Costa Rica” Facebook wall post.

After the aforementioned Draw has taken place and the respective favored person and/or winner of the prize has been identified, in accordance with the previous Articles of this Regulation, 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 winning person must sign the receipt of their prize, as well as a release of liability document for Ferretería EPA S.A. where all the limitations and conditions that the Prize grants 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 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 they do not have the necessary means to transport it and/or install it in the place they freely decide.

Failure to comply with the conditions established in this Regulation or the inability to perform the necessary data verification of the official winner will result in the automatic selection of a substitute winner, and the verification of data and delivery of the prize will proceed taking into account the specifications of this Regulation.

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

Failure to do so will result in the loss of the right to it, and they will not be able to claim damages and/or losses from Ferretería EPA S.A. as a product of the loss of the Prize. Said Prize CANNOT be transferred under any circumstances to a family member, spouse, child, or third party, as the object of the promotion is that the fan and/or follower who made the comment and presented the valid identity card 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 of having accepted the Prize, but for whatever circumstance the Participant refuses to receive it or to complete the respective paperwork for the formalization, the favored individual will lose their right to the Prize. A Notarial Act will be drawn up regarding these circumstances at the discretion of the Organizer. 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. 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 them from the obligation of allowing participation and the delivery of a prize or benefit.

ARTICLE SIX: USE OF IMAGE AND FINAL PROVISIONS.
In order to make the results of the Promotion public, at the decision and discretion of the Organizer, the participants who are favored with any of the Prizes of this Promotion expressly authorize the Organizer so that their project, name, and image appear in publications and other advertising media and in general in all dissemination material for activities subsequent to the Promotion, such as the delivery and receipt of prizes, without this implying additional remuneration or compensation, nor claims for image rights; therefore, by participating, they adhere to the regulations of this Regulation and cannot refuse the dissemination of their information and image rights.
It is stated that all illustrations and/or photographs used corresponding to the prize in the publications of this Promotion correspond to the reality of what is offered and promoted by Ferretería EPA.

Ferretería EPA, S.A. will collect certain confidential information from the Participant, including but not limited to their personal data in accordance with the provisions of the “Law on the Protection of the Individual regarding the Processing of their Personal Data” and its Regulation; therefore, at the time of selection as Winner or Favored individual, the Participant must sign all documents that the Organizer determines to authorize Ferretería EPA, S.A. to collect and generally use their data for the purpose of managing communication as the winner of the Promotion.
Likewise, in special cases that merit it, at the decision of the Sponsor, a Notarial Act will be drawn up regarding these circumstances to attest to any fact not foreseen in this Regulation.
In the event that they are the Winner and for whatever reason—whether they do not meet the restrictions and conditions regulated herein, or by their own will do not accept the Prize—they may not claim any compensatory sum or a consolation prize from the Organizer, as this is not regulated by this Promotion.
The Promotion and the Participants are subject to the requirements, conditions, and restrictions of this Regulation.

The prize winner will be responsible for the use and enjoyment they give to it.
