6. THE PRIZES AND ODDS OF WINNING:

There are two (2) prizes (each, a “Prize” and collectively, the “Prizes”) available to be won in the Prize Draw, as follows:

1. One (1) grand prize, consisting of a one-time use only Mafell voucher of up to a maximum value of GBP £12,500.00, valid for the purchase of Mafell tools from an authorized Mafell dealer in the United Kingdom, at any time prior to 11:59 p.m. UK time on 31 December 2025; and

To locate an authorized Mafell tool dealer in your vicinity, visit: https://www.mafell.de/en/dealer/find-dealer or see further in your email confirming that you are a winner and setting out further details of the Prize and how to redeem your voucher.

Odds of Winning: 

The odds of winning a Prize in the Prize Draw depend on the number of eligible entries received in accordance with these Rules.

General Prize Conditions:

Each Prize may be used one time only, in a single purchase transaction, from an authorized Mafell tool dealer in the United Kingdom. The Prize voucher will be credited, at the time of purchase, and to the full extent applicable, to the purchase price (including applicable taxes) of any Mafell tool or tools sold by such dealer. In the event that the total purchase price (including applicable taxes) of the tool or tools purchased in the single purchase transaction in which the Prize is used exceeds the value of the Prize voucher, the full value of the Prize voucher will be credited in such transaction (the voucher will thereafter be void) and the winner will be solely responsible for paying any such excess. In the event that the total purchase price (including applicable taxes) of the tool or tools purchased in the single purchase transaction in which the Prize is used is less than the value of the Prize voucher, the Prize voucher will be credited in such transaction to the full value of the purchase transaction (including taxes) and any unused balance of the Prize voucher will be forfeited by the winner, and the voucher will thereafter be void.

Each Prize voucher expires, and will be of no further validity, effective after 11:59 p.m. UK time on 31 December 2025, if not already used, as aforesaid, in any qualifying purchase transaction before that time.

Each Prize must be accepted as awarded and is not transferable or assignable (except as may be specifically permitted by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion). No substitutions are permitted, except at Sponsor’s option and there is no cash alternative to the Prize (or any part thereof). Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to substitute any Prize with an item or items of equal or greater approximate retail value if this is necessary for reasons beyond its reasonable control. 

Third party terms and conditions apply to parts of the Prize where applicable.

If due to a printing, production, online, internet, computer or other error of any kind, more Prizes of a particular description are claimed or more Prize notifications are issued in error by the Sponsor than are as stated to be awarded according to these Rules, then, in addition to having the right to terminate the Prize Draw immediately, the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to rescind invalid Prize claims and/or to hold a random draw after the end of the Prize Draw Period from amongst all valid, eligible Prize claimants to award only the correct number of advertised Prizes in question. In no event and under no circumstances will the Sponsor be liable for more than the stated number and particular value of Prizes in these Rules.

None of the Released Parties makes any representation or offers any warranty, express or implied, as to the quality or fitness of any Prize awarded in connection with the Prize Draw. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each confirmed winner understands and acknowledges that the winner may not seek reimbursement or pursue any legal or equitable remedy from either the Sponsor or any of the other Released Parties should such winner’s Prize fail to be fit for its purpose or is in any way unsatisfactory, for any reason whatsoever. For greater certainty and the avoidance of any doubt, by accepting a Prize, a confirmed winner agrees to waive all recourse against the Sponsor and all of the other Released Parties if the Prize or a component thereof does not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever.

7. WINNER CONFIRMATION PROCESS:

AN ENTRANT IS NOT DEEMED TO BE A WINNER UNLESS AND UNTIL THE SPONSOR OFFICIALLY CONFIRMS THAT PERSON AS THE WINNER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE RULES, EVEN IF SUCH PERSON IS ANNOUNCED AS A WINNER OR AN ELIGIBLE WINNER. The winners will be notified by email within 7 days of the random draw taking place, and will need to respond to the notification in order to confirm their acceptance of the prize. Reasonable endeavours will be made to contact the winners during this time using the contact details provided in the entry form. Entrants should ensure they check their spam/bulk/junk folders for notification because if a response from a winner is not received within 7 days of the notification being made, a winner may lose their chance to claim their prize. Proof of age, identity and eligibility may be required in order to claim the Prize. 

Winners agree to the publication, reproduction and/or other use of their name, county/city of residence, Submission, voice, statements about the Prize Draw, and/or photograph or other likeness without further notice or compensation, in any publicity or advertisement carried out by or on behalf of the Sponsor in any manner whatsoever (including in or on the Prize Draw Website, print, broadcast or the internet), worldwide and in perpetuity. If an eligible winner cannot accept (or is unwilling to accept) the applicable Prize as awarded for any reason or is determined to be in violation of these Rules (all as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion); then such potential Prize winner may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, be disqualified (and, if disqualified, will forfeit all rights to the applicable Prize). 

Details of winners’ names and country will be available for one month after the winners are confirmed by writing to the Sponsor at the contact details above or Ralf.Kohler@mafell.de or Philipp.Rogg@mafell.de and stating the name and date of the Prize Draw.
