The competition begins on July 29, 2024, and runs until October 31, 2024. The winners will be selected between December 1, 2024, and December 15, 2024. Only one winner will be selected and one prize awarded.

All persons over 18 years of age from Germany, Austria and Switzerland are eligible to participate, with the exception of employees of Protavis GmbH and/or cooperation partners and/or companies that were or are involved in the implementation of the competition/prize draw, as well as their family members.

The winner will be randomly selected from among the eligible participants. Participation is deemed to have occurred if an order/purchase of Schallwerk® products was placed during the specified promotional period via the website schallwerk.com, the participant follows the Schallwerk® account on Instagram (@schallwerk.eu), and a post was created in accordance with the specified requirements. Purchasing Schallwerk® products through other marketplaces or websites does not entitle the participant to participate. Only one entry per person is permitted; multiple orders, purchases, or posts on Instagram do not increase the probability of winning. Returned orders do not entitle the participant to participate in the competition.

The winner will be determined after the end of the competition/prize draw within the specified period and notified by phone, email, or social media within 14 days. If the winner cannot be reached and does not respond within 48 hours of contact, the prize will be forfeited and a new winner will be selected. In the event of an undeliverable notification of the prize, Protavis GmbH is not obligated to conduct further investigations.

The prize presented in this competition is a pair of over-ear headphones from Apple Inc., AirPods Max. Apple Inc. is not affiliated with this competition.

If the product is not available, Protavis GmbH may select a product of average type and quality equivalent to the product selected as a prize.

The non-cash prizes will be sent by Protavis GmbH or a third party commissioned by Protavis GmbH via freight forwarding, parcel service, or mail to the postal address provided by the winner. Delivery is free of charge within Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Any additional transport costs and customs duties are the responsibility of the winner. Despite the assumption of shipping costs, the place of performance remains the registered office of Protavis GmbH.
