Terms of participation for prize draws and giveaways
1. Organiser
The organiser is movo media GmbH, Effertzstraße 9, 53121 Bonn, Germany (“we”), operator of Most Voted Apps. For each promotion, these terms apply together with the details on the relevant promotion page. Where those details differ from these general terms, the details on the promotion page prevail.
2. Who may take part
You may take part if you have a user account with Most Voted Apps and are at least 16 years old. Minors need the consent of their legal guardians. Employees of movo media GmbH and persons who supplied the prize in question or who are directly involved in running the draw are excluded from participation. Participation is free of charge and does not require any purchase.
3. Participation and period
How to take part, and during which period, is stated on the relevant promotion page. Taking part requires two steps: you sign up for the draw on the promotion page (tick box and button), and you cast a vote during the promotion period. Without signing up you are not entered; we do not draw among everyone who voted. It does not matter which app you vote for, or whether you vote an app up or down. Each person may take part once per promotion, no matter how often they vote. Only one user account per person is permitted (§ 4 of our Terms of Service); anyone taking part with several accounts is excluded from the draw. A provider supplying a prize has no influence on the ranking of its app.
4. Prizes
Prizes are described on the respective promotion page. They may in particular be voucher or promo codes for apps, digital services, hardware or other physical prizes. Prizes may be supplied by us or by app providers, manufacturers, retailers or other companies.
Payment in cash or exchange of a prize is not possible. Transfer of a prize to another person is excluded unless the promotion page states otherwise.
For physical prizes, the promotion page states which countries the prize can be shipped to.
There is no right to take part or to win.
5. How winners are selected
After the promotion period ends, winners are drawn by lot, in two stages:
- First, we draw among all eligible participants who have not won any Most Voted Apps draw in the past twelve months.
- Only if that group does not yield enough winners are the remaining prizes drawn among the other eligible participants.
The aim is to spread prizes as widely as possible across the community. A previous win does not exclude anyone from taking part, but it may mean that other participants are given priority when winners are selected. Each person wins at most one prize per promotion, unless the promotion page states otherwise.
6. Notification and acceptance
We notify winners by email to the address stored in their user account. Where a response is needed to hand over the prize and a winner does not respond within 14 days of the notification, or the stored email address cannot be reached, the claim to the prize lapses. We may then draw the prize again under the rules in point 5. For digital prizes that can be sent directly by email, no separate acceptance is required. We do not publish winners’ names.
For physical prizes we ask for the details needed for shipping after winners have been selected, in particular name and delivery address. Where the prize is shipped directly by a manufacturer, retailer or other prize giver, we transfer the data needed for shipping to them. We point this out, and name the recipient, on the promotion page.
Where a prize is, contrary to plan, not shipped by the manufacturer, retailer or prize giver, we will try to sort it out. You have no claim against us to delivery, to a replacement or to a payment. Our liability for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health, remains unaffected; otherwise point 12 applies.
7. Voucher and promo codes
Voucher and promo codes are generally sent by email. Redemption is subject to the terms of the respective provider or app store, in particular as to validity period, country of redemption, platform and any further conditions. If a code does not work, please contact info@mostvoted.app within its validity period, and at the latest within six months of receiving it. The assignment between winner and code issued is deleted, in line with our privacy policy, no later than six months after the code was sent.
If a code does not work although it was redeemed correctly, we will try to obtain a replacement for you; for that we depend on the prize giver. If that does not succeed, the prize lapses without replacement, and there is no cash payment or other compensation. Our liability for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health, remains unaffected; otherwise point 12 applies.
8. Data protection
Our privacy policy explains which personal data we process to run a draw, how we take previous wins into account in later draws, and how long the data concerned is stored.
9. Exclusion from participation
We may exclude participants who breach these terms or our Terms of Service. This applies in particular to multiple accounts, automated entry, manipulation of votes, false information or other attempts to gain an improper advantage in the draw for oneself or others. Where such a breach is established only after winners have been selected, the prize may be withdrawn and awarded again.
10. Changes to or ending of a promotion
We may end, suspend or change a promotion early for good cause, in particular where it cannot be carried out properly for technical or legal reasons or for other reasons beyond our control. We will announce any such change or ending on the relevant promotion page.
11. No connection with the app store operators
Unless the relevant promotion page expressly states otherwise, the promotion is in no way connected with Apple, Google or Microsoft. These companies are neither organisers nor sponsors of the promotion and are not involved in running it.
12. Liability
The liability provisions of our Terms of Service apply to the liability of movo media GmbH.
13. Final provisions
German law applies. Mandatory consumer protection provisions remain unaffected. Should any provision of these terms be or become wholly or partly invalid, the remaining provisions remain unaffected.
