3)Eligible participants
Eligible participants are natural persons who are resident in Germany and have reached the age of 18. Participation is restricted to business customers who are new customers of DPD. Participation is also not dependent on the purchase of goods or services.
All persons involved in the design and implementation of the competition and employees of DPD, as well as their family members, are not eligible to participate in the competition. In addition, DPD reserves the right to exclude persons from participation at its own discretion if there are legitimate reasons for doing so, for example:

(b) in the event of violations of these terms and conditions of participation
(c) in the event of unfair conduct or
(d) in the event of false or misleading information in connection with participation in the competition.
4) Winnings, notification, and delivery of the prize
The competition covers one year of free shipping via DPD CLASSIC and/or DPD EXPRESS (within Germany and the EU) for parcels that comply with the standard dimensions specified in the DPD terms and conditions. Free shipping applies to the annual parcel volume specified by the winner during registration and agreed with DPD. Minor deviations from this parcel quantity will remain free of charge within reasonable limits. In the event of significant and/or systematic deviations from the originally specified parcel quantity, DPD reserves the right to charge for individual shipments, exclude participants from the competition, or take other appropriate measures.
The shipping / initial parcel must not be sent on behalf of third parties, but must be sent exclusively in the participant's own name and for his/her own business purposes by 30.09.2025 at the latest.
Any misuse, in particular significantly exceeding the agreed parcel volume with the aim of gaining unfair advantages, will result in exclusion from the competition and may result in additional charges.
After the closing date for entries, the winners will be drawn from all participants by the DPD team in a random draw in October 2025.
The winners will then receive a notification of their win by email from DPD. The winners must then send DPD their full postal address by email. The winners will be responsible for the accuracy of the contact details they provide. If a winner does not respond within two weeks of the above notification, their claim to the prize will expire. The same will apply if the contact details provided by a winner are incorrect. DPD is not obliged to search for correct addresses. Any disadvantages arising from the provision of incorrect contact details will be borne by the winner.
Cash payment or transfer to other persons is excluded. DPD reserves the right to replace the prizes with other prizes of equal value in justified cases.
It will not be possible to exchange the prize, collect it in person or receive a cash alternative.
5) Reservation of the right to make changes
DPD reserves the right to cancel or terminate the competition at any time without prior notice and without giving reasons. DPD will announce the cancellation of the competition on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
DPD will make use of this option in particular if, for technical reasons (e.g. viruses in the computer system, manipulation or errors in the hardware and/or software) or for legal reasons, the proper execution of the competition cannot be guaranteed, as well as in the event of changes to the promotion guidelines of Facebook or Instagram during the course of the competition. If termination is caused by the behaviour of a participant, DPD may claim compensation from that person for any damage incurred. Furthermore, DPD reserves the right to change these terms and conditions of participation at any time.
