  27.       4.3.4.

In view of the above, Kinguin will require all details necessary for delivery – usually email address will be sufficient, but sometimes personal data or other details (e.g. in case of flight tickets or limited time events - personal data necessary to purchase tickets) may be required. In such a case, the User must provide Kinguin with the requisite delivery information within a period of 30 days subsequent to Kinguin's solicitation for such data, conveyed either through email or directly via Social Media, under pain of forfeiting entitlement to the Reward. If the User was to lose the right to the Reward, Kinguin will contact him again with this information and an indication of an additional period of 1 day to send the data necessary to deliver the Reward. The 30-day period may be subject to shortening, due to the nature of the Reward (e.g., the Reward is a trip to an e-sports event). Each time the User will be informed about the shortening of the period for the provision of delivery data under the specific terms and conditions of a particular Campaign.
  30. 4.6. In exceptional circumstances, where due to reasons beyond Kinguin’s control Rewards are not available, Kinguin will offer to Users substitute Rewards of at least the same market value.

  34. 5.3. Participation in Campaigns is always voluntary and is not required to use and enjoy the Platform. Users have the right to withdraw from participating in a Campaign at any time. To do so, please contact Kinguin as per Clause 8.1.
