ARTICLE FIVE: GIVEAWAY PROCEDURE AND PRIZE COLLECTION.
Once the validity period mentioned in this regulation has ended, the information of the Participants who meet the mentioned requirements will be compiled.
1 winner of the prize will be selected from all those people who have participated. The random drawing, for which the date and location will be provided, will take place on June 18, 2026, at the central offices of Ferretería EPA, S.A. An Affidavit / Sworn Statement will be drawn up before two (2) witnesses with the name of the winning participants and their respective alternates; in total, one (1) alternate will be selected per winner. This information may also be presented to a Notary Public so that they may certify compliance with the requirements and the process of the Promotion by drafting a Notarial Act. The organizer reserves the right to modify the date of the drawing as long as it does not modify the chances of being favored for any of the participants.
Then, the correct participation of the selected winner is verified. In the event that they do not meet the requirements, the selected person is disqualified and the first alternate is verified, following the same protocol, and so on until the alternate winners are exhausted. In the event that the entry meets all requirements, the favored winner will be contacted via a telephone call within a maximum period of one (1) business day. If the selected person cannot be reached after a maximum of 2 call attempts during this period, a voicemail message will be left, and the winner must contact the promotions department no later than the day following the voicemail message, through the Ferretería Epa switchboard at 2588-1145, from Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 3 pm. If the winner cannot be contacted after this, we will proceed to contact the next corresponding alternate winner 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 June 22, 2026, 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 has been correctly verified.
After the Giveaway has been held and the person favored and/or winner of the prize has been identified in accordance with this Regulation, once a representative of Ferretería EPA S.A. has contacted the winner, 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 the receipt of their prize, as well as a release of liability document for Ferretería EPA S.A., where all the conditions the Prize grants will be expressed, releasing the Sponsor from all liability for its use and/or consumption. 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 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 made, an alternate winner will be automatically chosen, and we will proceed with the data verification and prize delivery taking into account the specifications of this Regulation.
Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of the right to the prize, 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 transferred, as the object of the promotion is that the fan and/or follower who made the comment and presented a 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 that the Prize has been accepted and the Participant refuses to receive it or complete the respective paperwork for formalization, the favored party will lose their right to the Prize. A Notarial Act regarding these circumstances will be drafted at the discretion of the Organizer. The granting of any of the prizes will be conditional upon compliance with 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 granted 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 participant who is favored with the prize of this Promotion expressly authorizes the Organizer for their name and image to appear in publications and other advertising media and, in general, in all disclosure material regarding activities subsequent to the Promotion, such as the delivery and receipt of the prizes, without implying additional remuneration or compensation, nor claims for image rights.
