Collective participation (in particular with the involvement of companies that are orientated towards this) is expressly excluded. This also applies to participation by employees (including their relatives) of sigikid, H. Scharrer & Koch GmbH & Co KG, companies affiliated with sigikid or their service providers.

Participants must take part in person and may not use any unauthorised technical resources. If there is reasonable suspicion that auxiliary programs or similar have been used, we reserve the right to exclude the participants concerned from participation. Furthermore, we reserve the right to discontinue the competition for compelling legal reasons (e.g. judicial or official prohibition of implementation, etc.) as well as in the event of technical manipulation and disruption of proper implementation (e.g. hacker attack, data loss, etc.) or - if sufficient - to adjust the conditions of participation.


Participation and rights to content

Insofar as participation is associated with the submission or publication of content by the participant (e.g. submission of images, texts, etc. for the purpose of participating in a competition), the participant is responsible for this and warrants that he/she is the owner of all rights (in particular copyrights) to this content. By participating, the user grants sigikid, free of charge and irrevocably, a transferable right of use, unlimited in terms of time, content and territory, for the (promotional) use of the content on all digital communication platforms. The user expressly agrees that sigikid may make the content available online to advertise its own products.
