II. Competition mechanism

1. The competition mechanism is set out in the detailed rules of the relevant competition or on the competition information page or published in the media to which the competition relates.

2. The competition is intended for ordinary participants, therefore the use of any automated systems for entering or voting in the competition (so-called robots) is prohibited. The Organiser reserves the right to exclude or disregard such entries to the extent determined by the Organiser in the event of suspicion of the use of an automated system.
