2. PROMOTION OVERVIEW 

The Promotion is a recurring social media giveaway in partnership with Artemis SailGP.

• Each Contest will award two (2) winners, to be communicated at the end of that Contest's specific entry period. 
• Each Contest winner receives an Artemis SailGP merchandise pack and one (1) NFT (together, the "Contest Prize"), as described in Section 5. 
• All Contest winners who own one of the NFTs will automatically be entered into the Grand Prize Draw for tickets to the final SailGP race of the season, as described in Section 6. 

2.2 No Purchase Necessary 

Participation in the Promotion is entirely free. No purchase, payment, or financial commitment of any kind is required to enter or to win. 

3. ELIGIBILITY 

• The Promotion is open to natural persons aged eighteen (18) years or older at the time of entry. 
• Participants must be legal residents of a jurisdiction in which participation in promotional giveaways involving non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is lawful.

Each Contest opens and closes at the times announced on Sandmark's official Instagram account (@sandmark_news) when the Contest is launched.

The specific entry actions for each Contest will be set out in the relevant Contest post. Only entries that complete all required actions will be considered valid. 

4.3 Entry Limits 

One (1) valid entry per participant per Contest, unless the Contest post expressly states that additional entries may be earned (e.g., by tagging additional users). Duplicate, automated, bot-generated, or fraudulent entries will be disqualified. Sandmark reserves the right to disqualify any entrant reasonably suspected of manipulating the entry process, including the use of fake accounts, engagement pods, or automated tools. 

5. CONTEST PRIZE 

5.1 Prize Description 

Each Contest winner will receive the following (the "Contest Prize"): 

• One (1) Sandmark x Artemis SailGP merchandise pack, the contents of which will be communicated at the launch of each Contest; 
• One (1) Sandmark x Artemis SailGP commemorative non-fungible token (NFT) corresponding to the applicable SailGP Event. 

5.2 NFT Details 

The NFT is a digital collectible with no financial, utility, or secondary-market value. It functions as a commemorative digital card and does not confer any rights, returns, or access beyond those expressly stated in these Terms. The NFT does not constitute a financial instrument, security, or investment product. 

The NFT will be delivered on the Ethereum blockchain. Winners are solely responsible for providing a valid, compatible wallet address within the timeframe specified in Section 7. 

Sandmark will cover the gas fees required to send the NFT to the winner's wallet. 

5.3 Merchandise Delivery 

Merchandise will be shipped to the address provided by the winner. Shipping is at Sandmark's expense to standard delivery destinations. Sandmark is not liable for delays, loss, or damage caused by postal or courier services. Winners are responsible for any applicable customs duties or import taxes. 

5.4 General Prize Conditions 

The Contest Prize has no cash alternative. Prizes are non-transferable prior to award. Sandmark reserves the right to substitute a prize of equivalent or greater value if the specified prize becomes unavailable. 

6. GRAND PRIZE DRAW 

6.1 Qualification 

Every winner of a Contest Prize who holds a Sandmark x Artemis SailGP NFT at the time of the Grand Prize Draw (each, a "Qualifying Holder") will be automatically entered into the Grand Prize Draw. No additional action is required. Holding one (1) NFT equals one (1) entry into the Grand Prize Draw. The NFT must remain in the original winner's wallet to qualify: any winner who transfers, sells, or otherwise relinquishes ownership of their NFT prior to the Grand Prize Draw will become ineligible for the Grand Prize Draw, and a transferee will not acquire any right to participate in the Grand Prize Draw. 

6.2 The Grand Prize 

The Grand Prize consists of: two (2) tickets to the Vela Lounge at the final SailGP race of the 2026 season (the "Final Race"). The tickets entitle the Grand Prize Winner and one (1) guest of their choosing to attend the Final Race in the Vela Lounge. 

6.3 What Is and Is Not Included 

The Grand Prize includes: 

• Two (2) Vela Lounge tickets to the Final Race, including all hospitality and amenities provided within the Vela Lounge as standard by the event organiser. 

The Grand Prize expressly does not include: 

• Travel, including flights, trains, or ground transport; 
• Accommodation, meals outside the Vela Lounge, or incidental expenses; 
• Travel insurance, visa fees, or any costs associated with international travel; 
• Any merchandise, experiences, or services beyond the Vela Lounge ticket inclusions. 

The guest accompanying the Grand Prize Winner must be aged eighteen (18) or older. The Grand Prize Winner is responsible for their guest's conduct and compliance with all venue rules. 

6.4 Announcement 

The Grand Prize Winner will be drawn at random from among all Qualifying Holders and announced during race weekend of the Final Race. The exact announcement time and channel will be communicated to Qualifying Holders in advance. 

6.5 Grand Prize Conditions 

The Grand Prize has no cash alternative and is non-transferable. If the Grand Prize Winner is unable to attend the Final Race for any reason, the prize is forfeited and Sandmark may, at its discretion, draw an alternative winner. Sandmark is not liable for any costs incurred by the Grand Prize Winner or their guest in preparing for or attending the Final Race. 

7. WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION

• Winners must respond to the notification and provide the required information (full name, shipping address, and a valid wallet address for the NFT) within seven (7) calendar days of notification. Failure to respond within this period will result in forfeiture of the prize, and Sandmark reserves the right to select an alternative winner using the same random draw method. 
• Sandmark may require winners to provide proof of age and identity before prizes are dispatched. 
• Sandmark's decisions on all matters relating to the Promotion are final and binding. No correspondence will be entered into.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sandmark, its affiliates, and its partners shall not be liable for: 

• Any technical failure, error, omission, delay, or interruption of Instagram or any other platform that prevents or limits participation; 
• Any loss or damage arising from the receipt, use, or custody of the NFT, including loss of private keys, wallet compromise, or blockchain network disruptions;

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for fraud, gross negligence (faute grave), wilful misconduct (dol), or death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Swiss mandatory law. 

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

11. CANCELLATION AND AMENDMENT 

Sandmark reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without liability, to modify, suspend, or cancel any Contest or the Promotion as a whole, where continuing the Promotion becomes unlawful, impracticable, or compromised by fraud, technical failure, or any cause outside Sandmark's reasonable control.

13. PLATFORM DISCLAIMER 

The Promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram (Meta Platforms, Inc.) or any other social media platform. By participating, entrants release Instagram and all other platforms from any and all liability in connection with the Promotion. Participants must comply with Instagram's Terms of Use and Community Guidelines at all times. 

14. SEVERABILITY 

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.
