Rules and process for the "coupons with lucky ticket"
The information mentioned here are part of the participation
By sending the registration each participant declares to agree with the rules and information being published on this site and to fulfil the entry rules.
After registration each participant will immediately, at least within 24 hours by e-mail receive a 10 digit code consisting of letters and numbers being at the same time the confirmation of registration. Together with this code he receives the bank connection(s) or payment possibilities for the payment of the „holiday voucher/s with lucky ticket“. Due to the partly very high European costs for bank transfers out of Europe there is an additional bank account for payment for the participants out of the European Union, which only functions as a transfer account as a support to save the high transfer costs.
After receipt of the personal identification code which has to be stored (together with your name and your coupon resp. ticket number it will service as accommodation voucher) the purchase price should be transferred quickly, at the latest on the third working day after receipt of the 10 digit identification code. This can be 49,- Euro or a multiple from this, according to the numbers of “holiday coupons with lucky ticket” being desired (1 coupon/accommodation + winning chance 1:4999 = 49,- Euros, 2 coupons/accommodation + winning chance 1:2500 = 98,- €, 3 coupons/accommodation + winning chance 1:1666 = 147,- €, etc.) As reason for transfer only the sent 10 digit code is mentioned and it should be given clearly legible and without blanks.
Incorrect transfers, for examples due to illegible or wrong code as existing use may not be allocated with coupon respectively ticket numbers. As far as a clarification can not take place before the termination of the raffle these payments will be refunded subject to a deduction of 9,- Euro after the drawing. If a refund is not possible due to wrong or incomplete account data (search cannot be done due to effort and cost intensity) the corresponding amount will be given for a charitable purpose to support persons in need in the region.
Important !!! With the stating of the 10-digit code the sum for the purchase of several “holiday coupons with lucky ticket” can be transferred, however the code cannot be used for a further, second transfer. If a participant decides to purchase further “holiday coupons with lucky ticket after the transfer he has to register again, receives a new 10-digit identification code and can, stating this, make a new transfer for any number of “holiday coupons with lucky ticket”.
After the payment has been received on the notarially supervised account the participant receives a number between 1 and 4999 for each 49,- Euro paid according to the total amount. Each number will be only be rewarded once. These number/s are the coupon number(s) and at the same time the number(s) of your lucky ticket(s).
The drawing is planned to be on Sunday, January 30th 2011. If not all 4999 “holiday coupons with lucky ticket” should be sold by then, the drawing date will be changed to Sunday, 24th April 2011. If the drawing cannot take place at this date either the drawing date will be changed for a last time and the new date will be published on our web site.
At this final date the drawing is also taking place if not all “holiday coupons with lucky ticket” will be sold.
The drawing will only not take place due to force majeure or other, not foreseeable acts (i.e. war, earthquake, death of the owner/organizer, changes in law, purchase of less than 50 % of the “holiday coupons with lucky ticket”, etc.) Unaffected from this the coupons for accommodation will remain their validity. Those who do not want to keep their coupon(s), receives an extraordinary right to exchange and can have the coupons being cancelled within one week after cancellation of the drawing indicating the personal registration dates and coupon respectively ticket numbers via e-mail. He/she will be retransferred the purchase price for each holiday voucher deducting 9,- Euro operating costs for each. With the remittance the corresponding coupons will not be valid any more.
During the drawing taking place under notarial supervision and being shown online per video on this site to which also the press will be invited a 4 digit number (between 0001 and 4999) will be drawn among all numbers having been alloted. The winner will be published on our web site. Additionally he will be informed via e-mail.
The drawing will be done publicly under presence of a notary and the press and also be shown online per video on our web site. Similar to the Dominican “Lotteria Nacional” and exactly as with our first house drawing on the 31st of January 2010 the winning number will be drawn out of 4 transparent boxes. There is one box with balls for each number of the 4 digit winning number, containing the numbers which cannot be seen from outside to get the winning number. One after another one number of the 4-digit winning number is drawn, starting with the thousands’ place, than one after another the hundred’s place, the ten’s place and the unit’s. In the first box there are only five balls with the numbers ZERO to FOUR, as the winning number can be smaller than 1000 and not higher than 4999. In the other boxes 10 balls with the numbers ZERO to NINE can be found. If the drawing determines the non-existing winning number 0000 a new winning number will be drawn. The resulting 4 digit number is the winning number which owner is the owner of the raffle object. Within 4 weeks after announcement of the winner on the web site and after the personal information by mail by notary and organizer the winner has to register for the price. If he does not the price will lapse and there will be a second drawing of another winner after a new announcement and information. All participants declare to agree that, as far as they are the winner of the house being raffled here, their name and if applicable also pictures may be published.
After the termination of the formalities and the necessary time for the conveyance of the proprietary title to the name of the winner or a person named by him (this lasts normally 8 to 12 weeks) the keys, proprietary documents as title (abstract of the real-estate recording office), etc. as well as the clear object will be transferred to the new owner. Appointments for the formalities, conveyance and handing over of the house are coordinated with the according interests of the winner, whereas the winner has to make this possible within one year.
There will be no otherwise usual costs for the conveyance as land transfer tax, notary fees, etc. as all according costs will be financed by the organizer, as well as the costs for the conduction of the total event.
The house is generally in a good condition corresponding to an age of 15 years (see house description) and can always be inspected according to prior agreement.
All participants agree that possibly legally forbidden parts of the rules, conditions of participations and information are replaced by such which are legally allowed and come nearest to the sense and purpose of the original.
