3. Conditions for participation in competitions
The competitions organised on this website are intended only for smokers who have reached the age of at least 18 years and are resident in Switzerland. Only registered individuals may take part. Employees of British American Tobacco Switzerland SA ('BAT'), and their families, BAT service providers, employees of BAT Vending, and employees of any other companies affiliated with the BAT Group in Switzerland and throughout the world may not take part in these competitions.
Participation is free and without any purchase obligation. By taking part in a competition, you are agreeing to both these general terms and conditions and the specific terms and conditions of the competition in question.
Prizes are valid for the named winner only and may not be transferred to a third party or exchanged, and there are no cash alternatives.

Any decision concerning the allocation of prizes will be final, without appeal or review, and no correspondence will be entered into. We also have the right to halt a competition at any time and subject to our sole discretion. In such a case, you will not be entitled to any compensation. No rights are acquired and no service may be demanded.
We will not assume any liability if the data entered in the forms or e-mails by participants cannot be recognised by the system or, more generally, if, as a result of a technical or other failure, a person is not able to take part in a competition.
We reserve the right to exclude participants from competitions. This will apply in particular to participants who manipulate or attempt to manipulate their participation (multiple account creation) or who breach the general terms and conditions or the specific terms and conditions of the competition or who in any way use the competitions offered in a manner that is not appropriate.
