ARTICLE FIVE: DRAW PROCEDURE AND PRIZE COLLECTION.

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 collected.

The winners of the prizes indicated in this Regulation will be selected from among all those people who have participated, in a random drawing to be held on August 27, 2021, at the central offices of Ferreterías EPA; the drawing will be carried out by those in charge of the Marketing Department. A Record / Sworn Statement must be drawn up regarding this situation before 2 Witnesses, stating the names of the winning Participants and their respective alternates; in total, 2 alternates will be selected for each winner. This information may also be presented before a Notary Public so that they may certify compliance with the requirements and the Promotion process by drawing up a Notarial Record, 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.

Then, the correct participation of the selected winner will be verified; in the event that they do not comply, 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 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 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 one (1) business day. In case of not locating the selected person 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 proceed. The winner will be announced starting on September 01, provided that all the above-mentioned 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 solely on the “EPA Costa Rica” Facebook page in a post on the wall.

After the aforementioned Drawing is carried out and the respective favored person and/or winner of the prize is identified, in accordance with the previous Articles of this Regulation, once the winner is contacted following the procedure by an EPA representative, the tickets will be sent to the winner by email once contact with the winner is made. In this sense, the winning person must confirm receipt of the prize via email, which also serves as the release of liability document for Ferretería EPA S.A., where all the limitations and conditions of the awarded 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 from Ferretería EPA S.A. any additional expense generated by the collection of the Prize, such as transportation 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.

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

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

Failure to do so will result in the loss of the right to it, and the winner will not be able to claim damages and/or losses from Ferretería EPA S.A. resulting from 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 object 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 freely and spontaneously authorizes Ferretería EPA S.A. 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 formalization, the favored person will lose their right to the Prize. A Notarial Record of these circumstances will be drawn up at the discretion of the Organizer. The awarding of any of the prizes will be conditional 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 themselves from the obligation to allow participation and the delivery of a prize or benefit.
