The prize can be changed, interrupted, or cancelled by the organiser at any time if there are valid reasons (e.g., illness, danger to life and limb, or other reasons). 

LOWA is only liable for intent and gross negligence. This does not apply in the case of negligent violation of an essential contractual obligation. These are obligations that are essential for the implementation of the competition, as they make it possible in the first place, and on whose fulfilment the participant can therefore rely. In this case, LOWA's liability for simple negligence is limited to the typical and foreseeable damage for the competition. The above limitations of liability do not apply in the event of injury to life, body, and health, for a defect after the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of a product, and in the case of fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected. 

To the extent that our liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of our employees, representatives, and vicarious agents, as well as to the liability of the sponsor(s). In the case of grossly negligent breach of duty by our vicarious agents, the above limitations apply to the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations.

Closing Date for Participation: Wednesday, 30 April 2025 at 23:59

This applies in particular due to external circumstances and constraints, which include technical problems, legal changes, or mandatory measures by third parties that are beyond our control.
