Competition Rules

Rules of the competitions organized on social networks by Nåald and its associates

Participation in the game implies full acceptance, without any reservation, of these rules.

Article 1 – Organizer

The organization of the competition – and hereinafter referred to as the “Organizer” – is governed by the company Nåald, an online titanium piercing store, whose head office is located in Annonay 07100 and the SIREN number is 882 617 004 00016.

In the event that a competition is organized in collaboration with another organization, Nåald remains the sole and exclusive entity to govern said competition.

You will never be asked to provide your login details or password or to provide bank details to withdraw a prize won. Only the organizer's account is authorized to designate the winner of a competition.

Our contests are in no way sponsored, approved, administered or even organized by the social networks on which they take place. The company Meta, representing the social networks Facebook and Instagram, as well as the company ByteDance Ltd, representing the social network TikTok, cannot be held responsible in any way for the running of the games.

Article 2: Terms of participation

This free game with no obligation to purchase is exclusively open to adults, on the date the game starts, residing in mainland France (including Corsica), Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

Excluded from the game are persons who do not meet the above conditions, as well as members of the staff of the "Organizer", and any person who has directly or indirectly participated in the design, production or management of the game as well as their spouse and family members. Any person who does not meet these conditions or refuses to justify them will be excluded from the game and will not be able to benefit from their prize in the event of a win.

To participate in one of our competitions you must:

• Have an active and valid account on the social network concerned
• “Like” the post announcing the start of the competition
• Subscribe to our Nåald page which announces the competition
• Be subscribed to our potential partners when organizing a competition
• Identify 1 to 3 of your contacts on the post announcing the start of the competition as well as any additional criteria, announced in the competition's conditions of participation (Ex: "Tell us what your last/next piercing is.")

You can participate as many times as you like as long as each comment tags different people each time.

Bonus participation criteria:

It may happen, in certain cases and for certain competitions, to obtain an additional chance to win a prize at stake. If this is the case, this or these bonus criteria will be announced when the competition is launched (Ex: "Tag us in a story to have an additional chance of being selected").

Article 3: Designation of the winner(s)

At the end of the competition, the date of which will have been specified when it was launched, the winner(s) will be designated among the participation criteria requested. He/she(s) will be selected at random among the people who have "liked" the post, subscribed to our Nåald page or commented on the competition. If a bonus element announced to increase the chances of being selected is specified, then this will be added in addition to the various criteria for designating the winner.

Article 4: Announcement of the winner(s)

The name or pseudonym of each winner will be announced on the social network concerned in a video, post or story. This or these same winner(s) will be contacted directly via the messaging of the social network concerned.

Article 5: Delivery of the lot(s)

The prize(s) will be sent at our expense to the address provided by the winner(s) within 14 days of the announcement of the winner(s).

In the event of an undelivered return, the winner(s) will have an additional 14 days to come forward and request a new shipment at their expense.

The winner(s) agree(s) to accept the prize as offered, without the possibility of exchanging, in particular for cash, other goods or services of any kind whatsoever or transferring the beneficiary to a third party. These prizes may not under any circumstances be subject to compensation or reimbursement.

The organizer reserves the right, in the event of an event beyond its control, in particular linked to its suppliers or unforeseeable circumstances, to replace all or part of the prize won, with prizes of equivalent value. The winner will be kept informed if necessary.

The organizer reserves the right to disqualify one or more winners or to cancel the result of the competition altogether, without the latter being able to claim anything, in the event that the winner(s) unsubscribe(s) from one of the organizers' accounts between the announcement of the result and the day of dispatch of the prize(s) or if the winner(s) could, in any way, harm the image of one of the organizers of the said competition (e.g.: public advocacy of violence or hatred on the same or another social network, inappropriate/provocative/harmful attitude or hateful comment.)

If the winner(s) are unable to receive the winning prize for any reason, a new winner will be designated and contacted via the internal messaging of the social network on which the competition was organized.

Article 6: Interpretation

Any question of application or interpretation of the regulations or its amendment(s), or any unforeseen question which may arise, will be decided sovereignly, according to the nature of the question, by the organizer.

Article 7: Personal data
