"7 Days, 7 Spots" Giveaway Rules

1. Organiser

This giveaway (hereinafter "the Giveaway") is organised by:

Pauthom, a French Simplified Joint-Stock Company (SAS) with a share capital of €600.00
Registered office: 26 Rue Lalande, 69006 Lyon, France
Registered with the Lyon Trade and Companies Register (RCS Lyon) under number 103 033 486
SIRET: 103 033 486 00012

Publication Director: Mr. Paul Meallet, in his capacity as President of Pauthom.

Contact: grindlab.gg@gmail.com

The Giveaway is run to promote GrindLab, the service published by Pauthom.

2. Duration

The Giveaway is open from Monday 24 August 2026 at 00:00 to Monday 31 August 2026 at 23:59, Paris time (Europe/Paris time zone).

One question is posted every morning over seven (7) consecutive days, from Monday 24 August to Sunday 30 August 2026, on both the GrindLab Instagram account and the GrindLab X account.

Every question stays open for answers until the Giveaway closes, on Monday 31 August 2026 at 23:59.

The draw takes place on Tuesday 1 September 2026. Any entry recorded outside the entry period is disregarded.

Only the Instagram and X server timestamps are authoritative for dating entries.

3. Eligibility

The Giveaway is open to any natural person aged eighteen (18) or over on the date of entry, residing in ⟨À REMPLIR : eligible territory⟩, and holding a valid Instagram or X account that complies with the relevant platform's terms of service.

Entry is entirely free and no purchase is necessary. It requires neither a GrindLab subscription nor any payment whatsoever.

The following are excluded: the directors and employees of Pauthom, anyone directly involved in running the Giveaway, and members of their immediate family. Pauthom's commercial partners and affiliates are also excluded.

Entry is strictly personal. Using multiple accounts, automated accounts or any automated entry method results in the immediate exclusion of all entries concerned.

4. How to Enter

To enter, post a comment containing your answer under the day's post, on either the GrindLab Instagram account or the GrindLab X account.

The comment is the only action required. No share, no tagging, no follow is required or taken into account.

One entry per person, per day, per network is retained: where several comments are posted under the same post, only the first one counts.

Entries are disregarded if they are late, posted under a post other than that day's, deleted before the draw, or if the answer cannot be identified unambiguously.

Each day's solution is published alongside the following day's question.

5. Selecting the Winners

Each correct answer counts as one (1) chance in the draw. An entrant answering all seven (7) days correctly therefore accumulates up to seven (7) chances, on a single network.

Two separate draws are held: one among the correct answers collected on Instagram, one among the correct answers collected on X. Each draw designates one (1) winner, for a total of two (2) winners.

An entry on Instagram gives no chance in the X draw, and vice versa. The same person may enter on both networks but may only win one prize; the second draw is then re-run.

The draws take place on Tuesday 1 September 2026, at random among all valid chances, across all seven days. Results are announced publicly on the Giveaway accounts.

The selection of winners is final. No ranking is established between entrants.

6. The Prize

The prize offered, for each of the two networks, is:

one (1) year of the Grinder subscription to GrindLab, with a stated value of €120 including tax, delivered as an activation code.

The stated value corresponds to the public subscription price on the opening date of the Giveaway. It is given for information only and cannot give rise to any claim or compensation.

The prize is personal to the winner. It cannot be transferred, exchanged, converted into cash or refunded, in whole or in part. The subscription starts when the code is activated and ends twelve (12) months later, with no automatic renewal.

Each winner has thirty (30) days from first contact to claim the prize. After that period the prize is deemed forfeited: Pauthom may re-run the draw among the remaining entries or retain the prize, without the original winner being entitled to any compensation.

Pauthom reserves the right to substitute a prize of equivalent value should circumstances beyond its control require it.

7. Contacting the Winner

Each winner is announced publicly on the relevant network account, then contacted by direct message from that same official GrindLab account, and from no other.

Pauthom will never contact an entrant from any other account. Any direct message from a third-party account announcing a win, or requesting a payment, bank details, a password or a verification code, is an attempted scam: do not reply, and report the account to the platform.

Pauthom will never request a payment, an advance fee or banking details in order to deliver the prize.

If in doubt, email grindlab.gg@gmail.com.

8. Personal Data

The data processed for the Giveaway is: the entrant's public Instagram or X handle and the content of their comment, plus, for winners only, the details strictly necessary to deliver the prize (email address).

Data controller: Pauthom SAS (see Article 1).

Purpose: running the Giveaway, verifying entries, holding the draw and delivering the prize.

Legal basis: performance of these rules as accepted by the entrant (Article 6.1.b GDPR), and Pauthom's legitimate interest in being able to evidence that the draw was conducted properly (Article 6.1.f).

Retention period: three (3) months from the end of the Giveaway for entry data; for winners, as long as necessary to deliver the prize and to meet applicable accounting obligations.

This data is not shared with any third party and is not used for marketing purposes. It is not linked to the entrant's GrindLab account.

In accordance with Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, every entrant has the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and object to the processing of their data, exercisable at grindlab.gg@gmail.com, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL.

Full details of Pauthom's processing activities are set out in the Privacy Policy.

9. Instagram and X

This Giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Instagram (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited). Instagram is fully released from any liability in connection with the Giveaway.

This Giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with X (X Corp.). X is fully released from any liability in connection with the Giveaway.

Entrants acknowledge that their information is provided to Pauthom and not to Instagram or X. Any question about the Giveaway must be addressed to Pauthom, and not to those platforms.

Pauthom cannot be held liable for any downtime, malfunction, moderation or content removal attributable to either platform that prevents an entry from being recorded.

10. Miscellaneous

Entering the Giveaway implies full and unreserved acceptance of these rules.

Pauthom reserves the right to shorten, extend, modify or cancel the Giveaway should circumstances require it, without incurring any liability. Any change is reflected in these rules, permanently available at grindlab.gg/en/legal/challenge.

Pauthom reserves the right to exclude any entrant who breaches these rules, in particular through fraud, the use of multiple accounts or any automated method.

GrindLab is a poker analysis and study tool. The Giveaway involves no stake, no financial risk, and constitutes neither a gambling activity nor an incitement to gamble.

These rules are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, and after an attempt at amicable resolution, the courts of Lyon shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

These rules supplement the GrindLab Terms of Use and Legal Notice.
