Videos and images must meet the technical specifications outlined in the campaign materials.

3 - Content Restrictions
All submissions must respect Farmina’s commitment to scientific accuracy, animal welfare, intellectual‐property rights, and brand integrity. Accordingly, content may not include any depiction or encouragement of animal mistreatment, neglect, or unsafe handling; any language or imagery that is defamatory, discriminatory, harassing, obscene, violent, or hateful; or any health or nutritional assertions about Farmina products that exceed the scope of Farmina’s official product documentation or peer‐reviewed scientific evidence. Submissions must not incorporate, reference, or reproduce any third-party trademarks, logos, copyrighted materials, patented processes, or proprietary designs unless the contributor holds a valid license or written permission. Content that endorses or refers to competing pet-food brands or products, that contains misleading or deceptive statements about ingredients, benefits, origin, or quality, or that could damage Farmina’s reputation or otherwise violate applicable laws (including data protection laws, advertising standards, and animal-welfare legislation) is strictly prohibited. Farmina reserves sole discretion to determine whether any submission breaches these restrictions.

4 - Intellectual Property License
By participating, each entrant grants Farmina Pet Foods Holding B.V. and its subsidiaries a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, publish, distribute, and display the submitted content for any commercial or promotional purpose, in any media, without restriction as to territory or duration. Entrants may revoke this license prospectively at any time by sending a written request to Farmina’s Legal Department; revocation will not affect any uses already made in good faith.

5 - Scientific Accuracy and Brand Messaging
Entrants represent and warrant that all statements or claims regarding Farmina products are accurate and based solely on Farmina’s official information or recognized scientific sources. Unverified health or nutritional claims are strictly prohibited.
