You are not entitled to participate in the promotion.

Participation in the promotion is free of charge. However, costs associated with your internet connection or usage fees charged by your internet service provider may apply. These costs are your own responsibility.

When and how do we determine the winners?

Winners are selected at random. After the promotion ends, winners will be drawn within three business days and notified accordingly.

Prize vouchers are non-exchangeable, non-transferable, cannot be paid out in cash, and no alternative prizes can be selected.

If
a) a prize notification cannot be delivered,
b) the winner declines the prize, or
c) a voucher cannot be redeemed for reasons beyond our control,

that winner will be disqualified. In such cases, we reserve the right to select a new winner by random draw, or the forfeited prize may be awarded in a future promotion. The winner has 30 days from the prize notification to respond; otherwise, the prize may be passed on to another participant.

Note: Since the lineup is only announced in April, the winner will receive the exact travel dates starting from that time.

What additional “fine print” should you be aware of?
