8. Notification of winners

Iberia will notify the winners of the prizes by email and telephone within 30 days of the jury’s deliberations.

Under no circumstances will the prize be changed, altered or compensated in any way at the winner’s request.

The winners grant Iberia permission to use their name and image in the ‘Celebrity trip’ campaign and in the usual Iberia communication channels.

If it has proved impossible to locate a winner after attempting to contact them for 10 days, the prize in question will be declared null and void. Likewise, if a winner renounces a prize, that prize will be declared null and void.

The prizes awarded in this competition are subject to these rules and cannot be exchanged for cash. Prizes will not be changed, altered or compensated in any way at the winners’ request. If the winner rejects the prize, no alternative gift will be offered.

The prize is personal and non-transferable, and it is forbidden to sell it.

9. Description and delivery of the prize

The Avios awarded as the prize will appear in the winner’s account in the weeks following the jury’s deliberations.

10. Taxation

The prizes in this competition are subject to Law 35/2006 on Personal Income Tax and Royal Decree 439/2007 approving its implementation. Pursuant to this law, prizes awarded for participating in games, competitions, raffles or random combinations are subject to withholding or payment on account when the value of the prize exceeds €300. In relation to taxpayers of non-resident income tax, this requirement applies regardless of the value of the prize. Consequently, the prizes obtained are subject to the relevant tax obligations imposed on them.

Currently, the withholding or payment on account applicable to prizes is 19% for residents of the European Union and 24% for non-residents of the withholding tax base. In the case of prizes consisting in the delivery of goods and services, the withholding tax base is the acquisition value or the cost incurred to the organiser, plus 20%.

This payment on account will be executed by IBERIA and the company will send the winner a certificate for the value of the prize and the relevant payment on account so that they can include the prize value plus the payment on account in their annual tax return. However, IBERIA will have no involvement regarding the amount for inclusion in the annual return resulting from the winner’s self-assessment.

Accordingly, it is the winner’s responsibility to include the value of the prize and the amount of the payment on account in their annual tax return.

Any other tax implications derived from the prize will be at the winner’s expense, and IBERIA is therefore relieved of any responsibility.

11. Reservations and limitations

The organiser will not be held responsible for any poor operation of the electronic communication networks that impede the normal development of the competition for causes outside of its control and particularly external malicious acts.

Furthermore, it will not be responsible for any data transmission problems or losses of data for which it cannot be blamed.

Iberia reserves the right to change the competition start and end dates.

If the competition cannot be held due to fraud, technical errors or any other reason, IBERIA reserves the right to cancel, change or suspend it without incurring the obligation to compensate the participants in any way.

Participants must have access to the internet since that is the only possible way to enter the competition.

Express acceptance of these rules and, where appropriate, the terms and conditions of use of the website, is a necessary condition to take part in the competition and consequently to win the prize.

Participants must expressly accept these rules by ticking the rules acceptance box.

Participants who breach any of the conditions specified in these rules or, where appropriate, in the terms and conditions of use of the website, will automatically be disqualified. Likewise, any misrepresentation, fraud, evidence of false identity or address or breach of third party rights will result in immediate disqualification and, where appropriate, the obligation to return the prize if it had already been delivered. Compliance with these rules will be verified by the technical means available to IBERIA, which reserves the right to make any checks it deems necessary.

Participants must not implement any entry method that breaches these rules. IBERIA reserves the right to disqualify, at its sole discretion, any participant who (i) manipulates or attempts to manipulate the competition or website; (ii) breaches any of the terms and conditions of these rules; and/or (iii) abuses, threatens or harasses any other participant or third party.

IBERIA also reserves the right to make the necessary decisions to resolve any disputes and conflicts that arise during the competition, provided that such decisions are fair and do not unduly harm the participants.

These rules will be filed with a notary.
