The User who wishes to have the Prize they won delivered to them may make a delivery request to us by following the procedures we have outlined up until 24:00 of the 14th day from the day they won the corresponding Prize.

If a delivery request is not made within this period, the User loses all right to the corresponding Prize.

All risks related to the Prize won by the User shall be transferred from us to the User once the delivery request described in the preceding paragraph is received. Once the User receives the Prize, the ownership of the Prize transfers from us to the User.

The Prize will be sent via the delivery method determined by us. The User may neither designate the delivery method, including the delivery agent, nor the time and date of delivery.

In the event that the delivery of the Prize won by the User who requested the delivery becomes impossible due to causes attributable to us (including but not limited to the damage or loss of the Prize obtained by the User), we may exempt ourselves from liability for damages by granting the equivalent amount of Points (limited to paid Points only) used by the User when obtaining the corresponding Prize to the User for free.

We reserve the right to suspend the delivery of Prizes won by the User in the event that the User takes any action to stop all payments (including but not limited to payments for the purchase of paid points) to the Services, such as by requesting chargebacks. In such cases, the preceding paragraph shall continue to apply unless the User withdraws the action to stop payments within the period during which they are entitled to the delivery and requests for a redelivery.

In the event that the Prize won by the User is sent but fails to reach the User and is returned to us due to causes attributable to the User, such as unknown address, absence of the User during delivery, delivery refusal, etc., the User loses all rights to the corresponding Prize. The ownership of the Prize won by the User is deemed to have returned to us and we shall be under no obligation to store or deliver the Prize to the User.

The User shall pay all fees (including liabilities resulting from the use of the Service and liabilities with pending amounts due to reasons such as disputes that have been imposed on the User) resulting from the use of the Services, including in exchange for paid Points, etc. to us using the payment method and according to the terms of payment determined separately by us. We will not refund any payment amount that has already been received.

In case the Prize handed over to the User is damaged, defective, or has any other flaw, or if the delivery to the User failed due to causes attributable to us (including but not limited to the damage or loss of the Prize), the User shall contact us within 3 days of receiving the corresponding Prize using the contact details designated by the Services and inform us of the issue. When we receive such a notification, we shall exchange it for a non-defective Prize. However, if there is no communication from the User within the period mentioned above, we shall deem that the Prize handed over is without defect. Additionally, if the same Prize is not available for exchange, we may exempt ourselves from liability for damages by granting the equivalent amount of Points (limited to paid Points only) spent in succession by the User to obtain the corresponding Prize to the User for free, and we shall not be held responsible for any other causes that led to the defect or loss of the Prize.

The Packaging of the Prize to be handed over shall include cushioning and packing material to protect the Prize itself and are predetermined by the manufacturer and seller of the respective Prizes.
