Time and Place of the Competition

The competition takes place on the Instagram pages www.instagram.com/genx_cz, always during the period specified by the organizer at the announcement of each competition. The exact duration of the competition is always defined in its announcement.

Conditions of Participation in the Competition

Participants of the competitions can only be individuals over 18 years of age who are registered on the social network INSTAGRAM (www.instagram.com), have an active Instagram account throughout the competition, and meet the specified competition rules with the following exception (hereinafter referred to as "Participants"): Persons in an employment or similar relationship to the organizer or organizer's personnel, or who are related to such persons as family members in a direct line, cannot participate in the competitions.

Participation in the competitions does not require the purchase of goods or services from the organizer or organizer.

Course and Principles of the Competitions

The competitions take place on the Instagram page www.instagram.com/genx_cz. Participants join the competition for a prize by responding to the competition Instagram post within one competition round according to the specific competition task published at the beginning of the competition round in the Instagram post of the organizer. The essence of the competitions usually involves sending correct answers to competition questions or, alternatively, original answers according to the organizer's instructions. From the original answers, a professional jury composed of the organizer's employees selects the winning entry; in the case of a competition for the correct answer, the winning answer is the one attached to the respective Instagram post in the order determined by the organizer. The precise mechanics of each individual competition will be described by the organizer in the Instagram post at the announcement of each individual competition.

Announcement and Handover of Prizes

To announce the winners, the contact details made available by the participants on their Instagram profile are used. The winners are also published on the Instagram page www.instagram.com/genx_cz under the relevant competition post. Prizes are sent by a shipping company to the winner's provided address within 30 days of the end of the competition, or the prize is otherwise handed over to the winner based on prior agreement. If the winner does not respond to the message about the prize within five days of its notification by the organizer, their prize will be forfeited to the organizer without compensation.

The organizer is not responsible for the loss, damage, or non-delivery of prizes. The winner is not entitled to any other prize from the organizer other than the one mentioned above or any other consideration. If the prize is a specific product from the organizer's e-shop, this product is subject to the same warranty period as when purchased by an individual.

Rules for Competition Posts

Competition posts that are deemed illegal, immoral, indecent, capturing illegal, risky, or otherwise irresponsible behavior by participants or other individuals are strictly excluded from the competitions based on the exclusive assessment of the organizer. The organizer also reserves the right to exclude a Participant whose behavior or Instagram profile contradicts the rules of the INSTAGRAM social network. If such violation is detected or suspected, such account will be reported as fraudulent, and the issuance of the prize will be suspended until the administrator or responsible person of the INSTAGRAM company responds. The organizer warns Participants not to violate laws, risk potential legal consequences, and behave responsibly, decently, and courteously when publishing their contributions. The organizer is always entitled to check and subsequently disqualify or exclude participants with a contribution that, in its decision, will be inappropriate for any of the reasons mentioned above or for any other reason, without any compensation and without the obligation to provide reasons for such decision. This also applies to contributions technically unusable for the competition.

Copyright and Other Rights

Participants agree and grant a free license to the organizer, without any time, territorial, or quantitative restrictions, that their submitted contribution, including the author's name, will be published on the Internet in connection with the competition. Participants also acknowledge that once a contribution is published, it may spread on the internet beyond the organizer's control, and the organizer is not responsible for such dissemination. Participants always guarantee that they are the exclusive authors of their submitted contribution or that they have consent from the author and all persons involved in creating the work to use it under the terms and to the extent set forth herein, and that they are authorized to grant this consent to the organizer. If further use of such work by the organizer is necessary beyond the above, the Participant agrees that, following the organizer's request, they will confirm in writing the right to use the relevant copyrighted work by the organizer if such use is agreed upon. The Participant is not entitled to any additional financial or non-financial reward or consideration for such use.

Protection of Personal Data

The personal data of the Participant, including name, surname, profile photograph, and in the case of winners, email address, phone number, and delivery address, and any other information provided within the Instagram permission dialog, will be processed by the competition organizer as the controller and processor for the purposes of the Participant's participation in the competition and the prize handover to the competition winners.

The processing of personal data will last for the duration of the competition, or in the case of winners, for the period determined by the relevant applicable legal regulations, if such processing is prescribed or permitted. The organizer also has an interest in including the winners in its marketing database for the purpose of sending promotional messages. The personal data of the winners, including name, surname, and email address, will be processed for this purpose even after the end of the competition, for a period of 5 years from its end. The legal basis 

for such processing is the legitimate interest of the organizer; the data subject (winner) has the right to object to such processing.

Participants have the following rights as data subjects:

1. The right to access personal data, whereby the Participant may obtain information from the organizer about whether their personal data is being processed, for what purpose, what is the extent of the processed data, and to whom these personal data have been made available, if applicable.

2. The right to rectify inaccurate or incorrect data, or to supplement incomplete data.

3. The right to erasure of data in case the purpose of processing ceases to exist or if the personal data of the Participant are being processed unlawfully.

4. The right to restrict the processing of personal data of the Participant.

5. The right to data portability, whereby the Participant may obtain personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, either for themselves or for another data controller.

6. The right to object to the processing of personal data of the Participant, or to profiling.

7. The right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, which is the Office for Personal Data Protection.

Other Important Competition Conditions

The organizer is entitled to verify the accuracy of all data provided by the Participant within the competition. In case of providing false information or any other violation of these rules by the Participant, the organizer is entitled to prevent the Participant from participating in the competition, or to exclude them from the competition, or not to issue the prize to them, without any compensation. The organizer's decision on such measures is final. Participants are not entitled to demand cash or any other consideration instead of the prize. The organizer is not otherwise obligated to the Participants, and they have no right to any other fulfillments from the organizer than those specified in these rules. Prizes are not legally enforceable. The organizer of the competition is responsible for the quality of the prizes and also handles any complaints. The organizer and the competition organizer are not responsible for the functionality of the INSTAGRAM application, message delivery, or prizes. Any complaints or objections will be decided conclusively by the organizer. The organizer reserves the right to shorten, postpone, interrupt, cancel, or unilaterally change or supplement the competition without compensation throughout its duration by announcing such changes on the competition's Instagram pages, where valid and complete rules will be available. This competition is in no way sponsored, administered, or associated with the electronic social network INSTAGRAM. Participants understand that they provide their information to the competition organizer and not to Instagram. Any questions, comments, or complaints regarding the application must be directed to the organizer, not Instagram.
