Participation in the free prize draw "Win Free Electricity" organized by Ostrom GmbH ("Ostrom" or "Organizer") is exclusively governed by the following terms and conditions, which are accepted through participation. The organizer of the prize draw is Ostrom GmbH, Straßburger Str. 55, 10405 Berlin, Germany, email: hallo@ostrom.de. Additionally, contact is possible via the electronic contact form at www.ostrom.de.
a. The prize draw takes place from October 1, 2025 to October 31, 2025 (entry deadline). During this period, online participation in the prize draw is possible. Participation is only possible within the participation period. Entries received after the deadline will not be considered in the drawing. To participate, the online entry form must be completed according to the minimum requirements specified therein. Participation in the prize draw is free of charge.
b. The winner will be determined after the end of the participation period. The prize is described in Section 3. The selection will be made after the entry deadline by random selection (drawing) from all participants. If the prize draw is linked to a task, only those participants who have correctly completed the task will be included in the drawing.
c. The winner will be notified of their prize by email. If there is no response regarding acceptance and claiming of the prize within 3 weeks after the initial prize notification, the prize may be transferred to another person (new random selection). Within this 3-week period, a second reminder email will be sent, requesting acceptance of the prize again and pointing out the consequences of an unsuccessful expiration of the deadline.
a. Natural persons of legal age with residence in Germany are eligible to participate. In case of limited legal capacity, the consent of the legal representative is required. Persons involved in the planning and implementation of the prize draw, employees of the organizer, and their family members are excluded from participation. Persons may also be subsequently excluded from participation if there is an objective reason. This applies in particular to violations of these terms and conditions and/or the use of false information in the entry form or unfair means.
b. Participation is not limited to existing (electricity) customers of the organizer and therefore does not require a valid electricity supply contract between the participant and the organizer at the time of participation in the prize draw. However, if a person receives the prize, it is necessary for claiming it that a supply contract exists or is concluded between the customer and the organizer for at least the duration of the offered one-year electricity supply (details see Section 3).
c. Each natural person may participate only once per prize draw. Multiple registrations using different email addresses are particularly inadmissible.
a. The winner will receive a free electricity supply at their official residence. The scope of the free electricity supply is limited to a total of €300. The €300 will be credited as a one-time credit to the next annual bill issued by the organizer after the prize begins; **monthly installment payments remain unchanged until then**. Amounts are gross, including VAT and all government-mandated price components.
b. The €300 electricity promotion begins within 4 weeks after prize notification and declaration of acceptance of the prize (cf. Section 1 c)). The organizer will separately notify the exact start date of the entitlement period by email. The winner has no claim to a freely selectable grant/reference period. **The credit will first be offset when the annual bill is issued, which includes part of the entitlement period.**
c. To claim the prize, the winner must have concluded one of the electricity supply contracts offered by the organizer on the market with the organizer for the entire duration of the entitlement period. The contract conclusion as such is free of charge. The General Terms and Conditions and tariffs are available at [www.ostrom.de](http://www.ostrom.de/). The electricity supply contract will then be carried out in accordance with the advertised prize, i.e., electricity supplies up to the value of €300 are free of charge within the framework of the aforementioned electricity supply contract. Supply quantities exceeding this will be made available for a fee in accordance with the generally applicable tariffs of the organizer. The contract can be terminated in text form with a notice period of 2 weeks to the end of the entitlement period. If no termination occurs, it will continue according to the general terms and conditions of the organizer for the respective electricity supply contract.
d. A change, replacement, and/or cash payment of the prize is excluded. Any additional costs associated with claiming the prize shall be borne by the winner; the same applies to any taxes incurred on the prize. **If there is an objective reason** (in particular, violation of these terms of participation), the organizer reserves the right to discontinue the free supply in accordance with statutory provisions and deadlines.
e. The winner agrees to participate in a possible symbolic prize presentation at their residence. The winner grants the organizer the right to process and use their name as well as images created during the symbolic prize presentation for advertising purposes (e.g., in social media). This right is granted **without time and content restrictions**, i.e., not limited to this promotion or a specific medium. In particular, the participant agrees that in the event of winning, first and last name as well as the place of residence (not the address) may be published.
a. The provision of personal data is required for participation in the prize draw. The participant assures that the information provided by them, in particular first name, last name, and email address, is true and correct.
b. The organizer points out that all personal data of the participant will neither be passed on to third parties nor made available to them for use without consent.
c. On the basis of prior express consent, the organizer is entitled to send the participant promotional emails based on the electricity bill uploaded in the participation form, containing, for example, an analysis of consumption, cost structure, and a comparison with potentially advantageous offers from the organizer.
d. The participant may revoke the given consent at any time. The revocation must be sent in writing to the contact details provided by the organizer. After revocation, the collected and stored personal data processing will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
b. Die Veranstalterin weist darauf hin, dass sämtliche personenbezogenen Daten der/des Teilnehmenden ohne Einwilligung weder an Dritte weitergegeben noch diesen zur Nutzung überlassen werden.
c. Auf Grundlage einer zuvor ausdrücklich erteilten Einwilligung ist die Veranstalterin berechtigt, der/dem Teilnehmenden werbliche E-Mails zuzusenden, die auf der im Teilnahmeformular hochgeladenen Stromrechnung basieren und z. B. eine Analyse des Verbrauchs, der Kostenstruktur sowie einen Vergleich mit ggf. vorteilhaften Angeboten der Veranstalterin enthalten.
d. Die/Der Teilnehmende kann die erteilte Einwilligung jederzeit widerrufen. Der Widerruf ist schriftlich an die von der Veranstalterin angegebenen Kontaktdaten zu richten. Nach Widerruf wird die erhobene und gespeicherte personenbezogene Datenverarbeitung gemäß den gesetzlichen Vorgaben gelöscht.
a. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies exclusively. **Legal recourse is excluded.**
b. The organizer expressly reserves the right to terminate the prize draw without prior notice and without giving reasons. This applies in particular if events occur that would significantly disrupt or prevent the scheduled execution of the prize draw. In such a case, participants have no claims against the organizer.
c. Should a provision of these terms and conditions be or become wholly or partially invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. In place of the invalid provision, a legally permissible regulation shall apply that comes as close as possible to the economic sense and purpose of the invalid provision. The same applies to any regulatory gaps.
