For the avoidance of doubt these Terms and Conditions apply with regard to any and all such individual challenges for the Contest. The winner of the prize for the relevant challenge will then be drawn at random from all Participants who successfully complete each individual challenge (or who provide an alternative method of entry as set out in this clause 2). Alternately, you may enter a given challenge of the Contest (i.e. be included in the draw to choose the winner along with those Participants who successfully completed the relevant challenge) by sending a post card with your name, address and e-mail address to: Gallafilz, attn.

4. Each entrant must ensure that his or her participation in the Contest is lawful in accordance with the laws of Switzerland and of the country of which he or she is a citizen and/or resides, and/or happens to be at the time the entry is made. FIFA shall not be taken to make any representations, express or implied, as to the lawfulness of any entrant's participation, or as to any other aspect of the Contest. Notwithstanding the above, due to legal restrictions, prizes referred to for the Contest will only be attributed to Participants with legal residence/domicile in the following territories: all countries (other than Poland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Belgium) whose football national association is a member of FIFA (the "Territory").

In the event a Minor wins a prize, the Minor’s participation in the Contest has to be confirmed and the prize has to be accepted by his/her parent or legal guardian. FIFA has the right in its sole discretion to amend or not to allocate a prize won by a Minor. In the event that a prize which involves travel, attendance at an event and/or overnight accommodation is won by a Minor, he/she must be accompanied for the duration of the trip/ event at all times by a parent/ legal guardian. In this regard where the prize only provides for travel, attendance and/or accommodation for one person, then all expenses for the accompanying parent/ legal guardian shall be the responsibility of such person.

Participants acknowledge that should they win the prize of the trip to the FIFA Ballon D’Or, any other event or a competition, any and all ticketing/accreditation provisions applicable to such an event shall apply. Participants (and their guest where applicable) are solely responsible for fully complying with such provisions and must meet at all times all criteria contained in such provisions or risk forfeiture of the prize.

The winners and where applicable any guest waive any and all claims (if any) for relief (including restitution) against FIFA, its bodies, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, sponsors and any other entity or person acting on their behalf should the purpose of such ancillary expenses be or become in whole or in part frustrated for any reason whatsoever (e.g., an event for which a prize winner won a trip cannot, for whatever reason, be carried out as scheduled or winners are prohibited from attending a specific event/football match, for whatever reason). The winner is responsible for arranging all necessary travel visas for himself (and where applicable his/her guest). Insurance is the winner’s own responsibility (with regard to both themselves and any guest), in this regard where a prize involves travel, winners must ensure that they (and where applicable their guest) have appropriate travel insurance cover for the duration of their trip. FIFA reserves the right to require the winner of any such prize and their guest to sign an additional waiver to these Terms and Conditions prior to awarding any prize.
