5. (Image/text) legal rights
Should the submission of images or text form part of the competition, participants grant RZF (Z U) the non-exclusive, royalty-free right to publish such images or text in the REWE GROUP’s media. This also applies to images depicting winners that are made available to RZF (Z U) for publication.

The same applies if another person took the photograph; in that case too, their consent must be obtained.
The use of third-party images or text from the internet is therefore not permitted without the consent of the rights holders.
