(OLO) and Credix World S.A. up to the first degree of consanguinity or affinity, may not participate in the Promotion.

ARTICLE FIVE: DRAW PROCEDURE AND PRIZE COLLECTION.
Once the “Lighting” Facebook live broadcast has concluded, all comments, reactions, and tags that participated during the live broadcast from the start to the moment it ended 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 drawing will take place on September 22, 2020, at the Ferretería EPA central offices; the drawing will be conducted by those in charge of the Marketing Department. An Act/Affidavit shall be drawn up before 2 witnesses with the names of the winning Participants and their respective alternates; a total of 6 alternates will be selected. The organizer reserves the right to modify the mentioned drawing date for convenience, provided that the chances of being favored for each of the participants are not modified; in case the date is modified, the new date will be published in advance via the Ferretería EPA social networks.

Then, the correct participation of the selected winner will be verified. In case they do not comply, 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 the requirements, the winner will be contacted via 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, telephone, etc.), in order to contact the favored winner by phone for a maximum period of (3) business days. In case of not locating the selected person 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 from September 25, 2020, provided that everything mentioned in this article has been verified; otherwise, the organizer reserves the right to modify the announcement date until all necessary data for publication are correctly verified. The winner will be announced only via the “EPA Costa Rica” Facebook page in a wall post.

After the aforementioned Drawing is performed 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, they will be indicated the place, date, and time for delivery, as well as collection of the corresponding Prize. In this sense, the winning person must sign as receipt of their prize, in addition to a liability release 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 its use and/or consumption. 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.

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 an alternate 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 not exceeding 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 Prize.

Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of the right to the prize, and they 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 may NOT be assigned under any circumstances to a relative, spouse, child, or third party, as the objective of the promotion is that the fan and/or follower who made the comment and presented the valid identity card is the beneficiary of the Prize. Likewise, the favored Participant freely and spontaneously authorizes Ferretería EPA S.A. for the use of 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 Prize has been accepted, but for any 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 Act will be drawn up regarding these circumstances at the discretion of the Organizer. The granting of any of the prizes will be conditioned on 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.

ARTICLE SIX: IMAGE USE 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 selected for any of the Prizes in this Promotion expressly authorize the Organizer to feature their project, name, and image in publications and other advertising media and, in general, in all disclosure material for activities following the Promotion, such as the delivery and receipt of prizes, without implying any additional remuneration or compensation, or claims regarding image rights.
