20. Special terms and conditions: “Bocholt September Babies – Wooden Tricycle Giveaway 2026”

20.1 Type of promotion

The “Bocholt September Babies – Wooden Tricycle Giveaway 2026” is a free competition with a random draw. Ten families will be selected by random draw from all fully and timely submitted entries, subject to these special conditions.

20.2 Eligibility

Eligible participants are adults who are legal guardians of a child born in Bocholt, North Rhine-Westphalia, between 1 September 2026 and 30 September 2026 inclusive. The future delivery address must be in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The promotion applies to all first names. The names “Lea” and “Lean” are used exclusively as example personalizations in communications and on photos.

Only one entry per eligible child will be included in the draw. Multiple entries for the same child do not entitle the child to additional chances of winning.

20.3 Participation period and registration

Registration is open from 1 September 2026 until 31 October 2026, 11:59 p.m., by email to info@schmatzepuffer.de.

For a complete registration, the first and last name of the participating legal guardian, confirmation of their adulthood and legal guardianship, the child’s first name for personalization, the date of birth, the place of birth (Bocholt), and the postcode of the future delivery address in North Rhine-Westphalia are required. The sender’s email address will be used for communication regarding the draw.

Information about the time of birth, birth weight and height at birth is optional. It has no influence on participation, the draw or the verification process and is used exclusively for a personal response from Schmatzepuffer. It will not be published without prior, separate consent.

Participation is free of charge, is not conditional on a purchase and does not constitute a newsletter subscription. A birth certificate or other proof should not be attached to the initial email.

20.4 Draw, notification and verification

On 2 November 2026, ten families will be selected by electronic random draw from all fully and timely submitted entries. All fully and timely submitted entries have an equal chance of winning. The draw initially establishes a provisional entitlement to the prize.

The selected families will be notified by email. The organizer will only request proof of eligibility from them. A copy or photo of the birth certificate showing the child’s first name, date of birth and place of birth (Bocholt) is sufficient proof. Information that is not required, in particular parents’ data, register numbers and other details, may be redacted.

The requested proof must be submitted in full within 7 calendar days of the request. If a selected family cannot prove the requirements in full or on time, or if any information proves to be incorrect, the provisional entitlement to the prize will lapse. In such a case, another family will be selected by random draw from the remaining fully and timely submitted entries.

20.5 Promotional gift and shipping

Ten successfully verified families will each receive a personalized wooden tricycle from Schmatzepuffer. The personalization will use the first name of the eligible child provided at registration. Cash payments, exchanges or transfers of the promotional gift are excluded.

Shipping to the delivery address in North Rhine-Westphalia provided after successful verification will be free of charge.

20.6 Data protection and press photos

The proof submitted for verification will be used exclusively for the verification of this promotion and will be deleted immediately after verification is completed. Data required for shipping and fulfillment will otherwise be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy and statutory retention obligations. Hospitals, midwives or other third parties are not involved in the promotion and do not transmit any data to the organizer.

Participation, the awarding of the prize and the shipping of the wooden tricycle are not conditional on press, photo or video publication. Such publication will only take place with the prior, separate consent of the person concerned.

20.7 Precedence of these special conditions

For the “Bocholt September Babies – Wooden Tricycle Giveaway 2026”, these special terms and conditions of participation take precedence over the general terms and conditions of participation in the event of any conflict.
