5.3 Please note, if the party responsible for providing the Prizes is the Partner according to the relevant Announcement, paragraph 4.4 of these Promo Rules shall apply without derogation.
5.4 There are no alternatives to the Prizes. The right to the Prize is non-transferable.

Prizes in the form of services or entitlements can be sold or transferred under no circumstances.
5.5 Any taxes and costs in connection with receiving the Prize are to be paid by the winner, except for the cost of sending the prize money.

Neither Participant has the right to claim the Prize on behalf of their teammate, including when the Prize is unclaimed by such a teammate.
6.1 The winners will be notified of the Prize in the corresponding Event Announcement or by any other applicable means (for example, by an email address previously given). Artstorm is not responsible if the winner fails to receive the notice about the Prize due to any security settings, absence, or provision of incorrect contact information. If the winner fails to respond within 90 days, the Prize may be forfeited, and an alternate winner may be selected based on the placement within the leaderboard.
6.2 If for any reason the winner cannot accept the Prize within 90 days, they lose the right to receive the Prize. However, Artstorm, at its sole discretion, may extend such a term.
Due to the nature and scale of online competition, the Event will not be restarted or made null due to bugs, intentional disconnections, server crashes, or unintentional disconnections.
