ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS, PURPOSE OF THE COMPETITION AND EXCLUSIONS

The Competition is open to consumers who purchase one or more admission tickets issued by Fastweb and valid for a visit to “STEP FuturAbility District”, purchased at full price through the ticketing system available on the website https://www.steptothefuture.it/ (hereinafter, the “Website”) during the Promotional Period (hereinafter, the “Tickets”).

The General Terms and Conditions applicable to the purchase of the Tickets are available on the Website before the purchase is made (hereinafter, the “Terms of Sale”).

Each Ticket purchased in accordance with the procedures set out in these Rules and Regulations shall therefore constitute an entry into the Competition.

The following admission tickets valid for a visit to “STEP FuturAbility District” are expressly excluded from participation in the Competition:

• tickets purchased before the Promotional Period, even if valid for admission during the Promotional Period;
• tickets purchased, even at full price, at the “STEP FuturAbility District” ticket office, as this is a purchase method other than through the Website;
• tickets purchased during the Promotional Period at a reduced rate or issued free of charge in the specifically provided cases.

 

PRIZE AND TOTAL PRIZE POOL

The Competition offers 50 prizes, each consisting of a one-year subscription to Geopop (hereinafter, the “Subscription”).

The Subscription is worth €60 (VAT included) and does not automatically renew when the twelve-month subscription period expires, starting from the activation date.

The Subscription supports Geopop’s educational outreach activities, providing access to its online and app-based magazine without advertisements, as well as its Missione Cultura project (further information is available at https://www.geopop.it/missione-cultura/).

The prize will be delivered by e-mail in the form of a unique 12-digit prepaid code (hereinafter, the “Geopop Code”) for activating the Subscription.

The expiry date of the Geopop Code will be indicated when the prize is delivered to the winners and will in no event be earlier than 30 June 2027.

If the Subscription has not been activated by the expiry date, the Geopop Code will cease to be valid and cannot be replaced by another code or alternative benefit.

In such cases, the prize will be deemed to have been duly awarded, as failure to redeem it will be the sole responsibility of the winner.

The Geopop Code will not be replaced in the event of loss, theft or unauthorised access to the device used by the consumer on which the e-mail account to which the Geopop Code is sent is configured.

It is therefore the consumer’s responsibility, as the person entitled to activate the Subscription, to take appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access to their device.

The total prize pool amounts to €3,000 (VAT included).

 

COMPETITION PROCEDURES AND PRIZE AWARD

During the Promotional Period, the Website will display advertising for the Competition and a link to these Rules and Regulations.

Pursuant to Article 6 of the Terms of Sale:

“Tickets are non-refundable if the Customer decides not to attend the Event. In the case of electronic sales, pursuant to Article 59(1)(n) of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal provided for in Articles 52 et seq. of the Consumer Code is excluded. The Customer acknowledges that, as the Agreement concerns the provision of leisure services to be provided on a specific date, the right of withdrawal provided for under Article 52 of the Consumer Code does not apply. The Customer shall therefore not be entitled to exercise such right in connection with the purchase of Tickets.”

Accordingly, each Ticket purchased through the Website will automatically constitute an entry into the Competition for the purchaser, without prejudice to the consumer’s right to request removal from the list of eligible participants by sending an e-mail to info@steptothefuture.it by 12 January 2027.

It should be noted that participation in the Competition, as stated in the privacy notice included in the final section of these Rules and Regulations, does not require any optional consent to the processing of personal data, as such data will be processed exclusively for the purposes of preparing the final draw and awarding the prizes to the persons entitled to them. The legal basis for these purposes is contractual and statutory, and therefore consent is not required.

Following the end of the Promotional Period and in sufficient time for the draw on 18 January 2027, Fastweb will compile the list of entries eligible for the final draw.

In this list, each purchasing consumer, identified using the details provided during the online transaction on the Website required to complete the purchase and payment, will be entered a number of times corresponding to the number of Tickets purchased.

If any requests not to participate in the final draw are received by 12 January 2027, the individuals concerned will be removed from the aforementioned list.

On 18 January 2027, in the presence of an official responsible for Consumer Protection and Public Trust at the competent Chamber of Commerce (CCIAA), the final draw will be conducted using purpose-built software based on the “rand” function.

The operation of the software will be subject to appropriate certification confirming compliance with the requirements of Public Trust through the application of a random selection criterion to the allocation of prizes.

The following will then be drawn from the Final Draw List, in the following order:

• 50 winners;
• 20 reserve entrants.

CONTACTING WINNERS AND PRIZE DELIVERY

As the right to the prize is acquired at the time of the award procedure described above (the draw), and given the nature of the prize, which requires no further action by the winners in order to redeem it, each winner will receive an e-mail by 31 January 2027 containing notification of the win and their Geopop Code.

The e-mail will be sent to the address provided during the purchase of the Ticket on the Website associated with the winning entry.

If, after making the purchase, a participant deactivates the aforementioned e-mail address, they must update their details by writing to info@steptothefuture.it and identifying themselves using the tax code provided at the time of purchase.

Fastweb shall not be liable for any failure to receive the winning notification and Geopop Code if the recipient fails to read the e-mail in time (i.e. before the Geopop Code expires) or if the configuration of their e-mail account, whether on the client or server side, incorrectly classifies the notification as spam.

Only if the e-mail cannot be delivered because the address no longer exists, having been deactivated after the Ticket was purchased and without the participant having requested that their details be updated, and given that the winner cannot be contacted by any other means, the Geopop Code will automatically be sent to the first reserve entrant drawn, and so on.

COMPETITION PUBLICITY

The Competition will be publicised through the Website and any other digital communication channels.

WAIVER OF RECOURSE

Fastweb declares that it waives its right of recourse in respect of the withholding tax pursuant to Article 30 of Presidential Decree No. 600 of 29 September 1973 in favour of the winners.
