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

The winners of the prizes indicated in these Rules will be selected from among all those who have participated. The random drawing will take place on May 2, 2022, at the central offices of Ferreterías EPA, and will be conducted by those in charge of the Marketing Department. A Minutes/Affidavit must be drawn up regarding this situation before 2 witnesses, including the names of the winning Participants and their respective alternates; in total, 1 alternate 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 through the drafting of a Notarial Act, in accordance with these Rules. The organizer reserves the right to modify the mentioned date of the drawing for convenience as long as the chances of being favored for each of the participants are not modified.

Next, the correct participation of the selected winner will be verified; if 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 by private message on the “EPA Costa Rica” Facebook page and will have a period of two (2) business days once 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 for a maximum period of (3) business days. In case the selected person cannot be reached in 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 on May 12, 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 the data necessary for publication are correctly verified. The winner will be announced only via the “EPA Costa Rica” Facebook page in a post on the wall.

After the aforementioned Drawing has been carried out and the respective favored person and/or winner of the prize has been identified, in accordance with the previous Articles of these Rules, once the winner has been 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 for the receipt of their prize, as well as a liability release 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 and/or install it in the place they freely decide.

If the conditions established in these Rules are not met or if the necessary data verification of the official winner cannot be carried out, an alternate winner will be automatically chosen, and data verification and prize delivery will proceed taking into account the specifications of these Rules.

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

Failure to do so will result in the loss of the right to it, and they will not be able to claim damages against Ferretería EPA S.A. as a result of the loss of the Prize. Said Prize MAY NOT be transferred under any circumstances to a relative, spouse, child, or third party, since the purpose of the promotion is for the fan and/or follower who made the comment and presented the valid identity card to be the beneficiary of the Prize. Likewise, the favored Participant authorizes Ferretería EPA S.A., freely and spontaneously, to use their image and name rights 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 its formalization, the favored person 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 on the compliance with each and every applicable law and regulation, as well as compliance with the provisions of these Rules. 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 of allowing participation and delivering a prize or benefit.
