Persons of legal age and capacity who are permanently resident in a country not listed here are excluded from participation for reasons relating to logistics, business strategy or the legal basis of the respective country. 

5. The winners will be drawn from among all participants. Participation establishes no legal right or obligation, to the extent permitted by law. There is no recourse to legal action. Entries by employees of Switzerland Tourism or their partners will not be accepted. Prizes are non-transferable and will not be paid in cash. Switzerland Tourism reserves the right to exclude participants from the competition, to delete multiple entries or to end the competition in the event of any discrepancies or suspicions of technical manipulation. Participation is limited to one time per person per day. 

6. Travel prizes will be administered directly between the winner and the competition partner, and any warranty or liability of Switzerland Tourism shall be excluded. Travel to and from the departure point of the journey (airport, railway station, etc.) shall be at the expense of the winner, unless stated otherwise in the competition description. The same applies for any costs incurred during the journey (minibar, etc.). The winners, and if applicable their companions, are responsible for ensuring that they have obtained everything necessary for the trip, in particular valid travel documents, any required visas, as well as any necessary health documents (medical certificates, vaccination certificates, etc.). Any taxes, fees or levies incurred in connection with the prize must be borne by the winner (with the exception of shipping costs, customs duties or import VAT). 

7. To the extent permitted by law, Switzerland Tourism and the bodies, employees, auxiliary persons and vicarious agents of Switzerland Tourism shall accept no liability or responsibility in connection with the competition and the organisation, as well as the redemption of prizes. In particular, Switzerland Tourism shall not be liable for technical outages of the competition page, including any network server or hardware errors, viruses, bugs, programming errors, or any other communication errors outside of the control of Switzerland Tourism. 

8. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, as the operator of the Facebook and Instagram platforms, or other Meta Group companies have nothing to do with this competition in economic or legal terms, even if the competition is advertised and communicated via our Facebook and Instagram pages. The sole organiser of the competition is Switzerland Tourism. Any questions relating to the competition should be addressed to Switzerland Tourism crm@switzerland.com. By entering the competition and therefore accepting these terms and conditions of participation, participants exempt Meta Group companies from any liability and responsibility in connection with the competition. 

9. When filling out the entry form to participate in the competition, participants will be asked to provide certain data. Namely, their gender, first name, last name, date of birth, e-mail address and country of permanent residence. Furthermore, communication data may be generated during the processing of the competition, i.e. namely: content of e-mails and other written correspondence, details of the nature, time and possibly place of communication.

This personal data will be used in particular for the purpose of participation in the competition and its implementation, i.e. to determine and contact the winners by name. By entering the competition, participants agree that Switzerland Tourism may use the e-mail address they have provided for the purpose of sending a satisfaction survey after the competition has ended. In order to avoid misuse and to ensure that the owner of an e-mail address themselves has actually given their consent, we rely on the “double opt-in” e-mail verification system. After submitting the entry form, you will receive an e-mail from us with a confirmation link. To definitively register for the competition and subscribe to the newsletter (if wished), you must click on this link. If you do not confirm your e-mail address using the confirmation link within the specified period, your data will be deleted, and you will not be entered into the competition or receive any marketing e-mails at this address.

Switzerland Tourism is supported in running the competition by Basebuilder B.V. In this context, Basebuilder B.V. may have access to the personal data collected to the extent necessary for processing of the competition. Switzerland Tourism will make every effort to ensure that Basebuilder B.V. only processes personal data as would also be permitted for Switzerland Tourism. 

The data collected when participating in satisfaction surveys, namely your personal details and the content of your survey responses, is used for the purpose of quality management and thus ultimately for the purpose of better tailoring our services and products to the needs of our target groups. In concrete terms, this also involves processing to evaluate and analyse your information, e.g. compiling satisfaction statistics and comparing individual services, as well as processing to take organisational measures in accordance with the findings obtained, e.g. rectifying grievances/deficits/misconduct. The content of the survey responses (excl. personal details) may also be passed (anonymised) on to the partners involved in the competition. Namely, these are the following companies: Victorinox, SBB, SOB, MOB, Mammut Sports Group AG, Swiss Ski and Snowboard School, Cervo Mountain Resort, the Hotel Albrici Poschiavo and the Hotel Randolins. 

By participating in the competition, taking part in surveys and subscribing to our newsletter, participants agree to the processing of their relevant personal data for the above-mentioned purposes. The legal basis for data processing is therefore the consent of the persons concerned within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR). Participants may withdraw their consent at any time with future effect. In the event of their consent being withdrawn, participants will no longer be entitled to take part in the competition. If participants have any questions relating to the handling of personal data, they should contact Switzerland Tourism: crm@switzerland.com. Further information on how Switzerland Tourism processes personal data can be found here.

10. Swiss law is applicable to the competition. For any disputes in connection with the competition or these terms and conditions of participation, the courts of Zurich shall have exclusive jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the above, any mandatory protective regulations for consumers residing in Germany shall remain unaffected. 

 

Accordingly, any mandatory protective regulations applicable for consumers residing in other EU countries shall also remain unaffected. 

11. Participation in the competition, especially with regard to travel vouchers, is always associated with a risk of accident and illness. In addition to the current acute risk of becoming infected with COVID-19, there is also the risk that participants will have to go into quarantine if another person participating in the event or trip, or a third party with whom the participant has come into contact, tests positive for COVID-19. In addition to the health-related risks, there is also a risk of losses being incurred, such as those listed below:

Medical treatment costs 

Hospitalisation costs 

Repatriation costs 

Personal disruptions, costs, inconveniences and long-term losses 

Additional accommodation or travel costs 

Cancellation costs 

Losses due to quarantine, in particular loss of salary or earnings 

Those participating in the competition and redeeming the prize shall do so at their own risk. Participants are advised to insure themselves against such risks. To the extent permitted by law, Switzerland Tourism expressly excludes any liability for losses incurred by the participant as a result of participating in such events and trips. Switzerland Tourism also reserves the right, and is expressly entitled, to change or cancel informational or promotional events and trips, and also the competition, even at short notice if Switzerland Tourism deems this appropriate due to the risk situation. 

The participant hereby acknowledges and agrees to this exclusion of liability of Switzerland Tourism. The participant waives all á for compensation against Switzerland Tourism, except where damages were caused deliberately or by gross negligence. 

If the trip cannot take place due to COVID-19 or for any other reason, neither Switzerland Tourism nor the touristic partners shall be liable.
