Participation is void where prohibited or restricted by applicable law.

5. Territorial Scope / Market-Specific Restrictions

Without limitation, participants from countries with strict rules on alcohol advertising, promotions, contests or digital marketing may be subject to additional eligibility criteria, restrictions or exclusions.

Any prizes, invitations, benefits or reimbursements may be withheld or withdrawn where legally permissible.

17. Market-Specific Alcohol Advertising and Compliance Rules

Participants acknowledge that the Competition relates to an alcoholic beverage brand and is therefore subject to specific legal and self-regulatory restrictions in many jurisdictions.

Accordingly:

• participation must not be interpreted or communicated in a manner that targets minors;
• participants must not create or post content encouraging excessive, irresponsible or unsafe alcohol consumption;
• participants must comply with all local rules on alcohol communication, marketing and promotions;
• Jägermeister may request changes to content, captions, visuals, hashtags, disclosures or participation mechanics where necessary for legal or compliance reasons.
• Without limiting the generality of these Terms, the Competition is subject to all mandatory local laws and restrictions applicable in each participating market. In particular, in markets with strict rules regarding alcohol advertising, digital promotion, contests or prize mechanics, Jägermeister may introduce market-specific participation routes, additional conditions, reduced visibility, alternative judging formats, or exclude the market entirely. No applicant shall have any claim arising from such local compliance measures.

For certain markets, including those with strict restrictions on alcohol advertising and promotional activities, Jägermeister may impose additional rules, limit public visibility, route entries through specific channels, or exclude the market entirely.

18. Modification, Suspension or Cancellation

Jägermeister reserves the right to modify, suspend, postpone or terminate the Competition, any stage of it, or any participation route at any time, with or without prior notice, where reasonably necessary, including in case of:

• legal or regulatory concerns,
• technical issues,
• fraud or manipulation,
• safety concerns,
• force majeure,
• insufficient participation,
• platform restrictions,
• or other circumstances affecting the integrity, legality or feasibility of the Competition.

The uploaded draft already reserves a right to modify, delay or cancel the process and the Competition.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, participants shall have no claim against Jägermeister arising from such modification, suspension or cancellation, except in cases of mandatory liability.

19. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable mandatory law.

Subject to the foregoing, Jägermeister shall not be liable for:

• lost, delayed, incomplete, corrupted or misdirected entries;
• technical failures, platform outages or connectivity issues;
• third-party platform actions or restrictions;
• travel disruptions, visa refusals, border measures or force majeure events;
• indirect or consequential damages;
• losses arising from participant non-compliance with these Terms or applicable law.

Participants are responsible for their own conduct, submissions, travel readiness and compliance with applicable law.

20. Taxes

Participants are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, reporting obligations or similar charges arising from their participation in the Competition or receipt of any benefit, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

21. Data Protection

Jägermeister will process personal data submitted in connection with the Competition for the purposes of:

• administering the Competition,
• reviewing and evaluating applications,
• contacting applicants and participants,
• organizing local heats and the Grand Final,
• documenting and communicating about the Competition,
• and complying with legal obligations.

The uploaded draft already states that personal data will be handled confidentially and used for administering the Competition.

Further information on how personal data is processed, including legal bases, recipients, retention periods and data subject rights, is available in Jägermeister’s Competition Privacy Notice / Privacy Policy here: ENGLISH VERSION:https://de.jagermeister.com/legal/datenschutz.

Where participation involves social media platforms, applicants acknowledge that platform providers may process personal data independently under their own privacy policies.

22. No Employment / No Agency / No Guarantee

Participation in the Competition does not create any employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, sponsorship, representation or long-term collaboration relationship between the participant and Jägermeister.

Selection, shortlisting, invitation or participation in any stage of the Competition does not guarantee any future collaboration, endorsement, funding, commercial engagement or other benefit unless separately agreed in writing.

The uploaded draft similarly clarifies that notification does not in itself create a binding agreement. ]

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

24. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any disputes arising out of or in connection with the Competition shall be governed by the laws of Germany, excluding its conflict of laws rules, unless mandatory local law in the participant’s jurisdiction provides otherwise.
