Competition terms and conditions

Terms and conditions for Facebook competition

The following terms and conditions are a sample of the terms and conditions for participation in a competition advertised on a company's Facebook page (see section 3.4.3 for general information on competitions and terms and conditions). The terms and conditions themselves are linked from there and can be found on a subpage of the company's website.

The template is based on a competition with several non-cash prizes, which will be sent free of charge to the winners after the drawing. To participate, participants must like the post and upload or link to a photo—to be specified by the organizer. The organizer is then permitted to publish the photos online. Offline use is not permitted under the terms and conditions.

The terms and conditions are comparatively lengthy. Such detailed terms are only necessary in exceptional cases and not for every competition on social networks.
