- Sterntaler GmbH reserves the right to suspend or terminate the contest wholly or partially at any time if reasonably necessary, especially for technical or legal reasons. Sterntaler GmbH will particularly exercise this right if proper conduct of the contest cannot be guaranteed due to technical reasons (e.g., viruses in the computer system, manipulation, or errors in hardware and/or software) or legal reasons. Participants have no claims against Sterntaler GmbH in this regard. If such disruption of the contest is caused culpably by a participant’s behavior, Sterntaler GmbH may claim compensation for damages incurred.

Sterntaler GmbH is not liable for material and/or legal defects in the awarded prizes.
- German law applies. Mandatory provisions, especially of the law of the state where the participant has their habitual residence, remain unaffected if the participant is a consumer. Legal recourse is excluded regarding the drawing of winners and any assessment of the content of submitted contest entries.
- If individual provisions of the terms and conditions are or become invalid, the validity of the remaining terms and conditions remains unaffected. The invalid provision will be replaced by a valid regulation that most closely corresponds to the purpose of the invalid provision.
