10. General Terms

(a) The Event is subject to these Event Rules and is governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus. To the extent that the local law deprives a Participant of the protection afforded to him/her by provisions that cannot be derogated by virtue of the law of the country where the Participant has his/her habitual residence, the law of that country applies. The provisions of these Event Rules do not exclude, limit or otherwise restrict the rights vested with the consumers upon relevant provisions of the applicable law nor may be construed by anyone in this way.

The actual delivery date may vary depending on the country of delivery.

(c) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Event Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

(d) All taxes, fees and surcharges on the Prize are the sole responsibility of the Prize winner. In the event that the selected Prize winner is ineligible or refuses the Prize, the Prize will be forfeited and Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may choose whether to award the Prize to another Participant in the Event.

(e) These Event Rules are published on the Sponsor's official portal at https://legal.wargaming.net/en/event-rules/handle ("Portal") and shall remain publicly accessible for the entire duration of any active Event.
