Sweepstakes terms and conditions

Conditions of participation for Facebook competition

The following terms and conditions are a sample of the terms and conditions of participation in a sweepstakes advertised via a company's Facebook page (see generally on sweepstakes and terms and conditions of participation Section 3.4.3).

The sample assumes a competition with several non-cash prizes, which will be sent to the winners free of charge after the drawing.
