The Commission may cancel the contest or decide not to award the 
prize(s) - without any obligation to compensate participants -, if:

	(b) the jury does not find any winners

	(c) the winners are not eligible or must be excluded

can be cancelled at any time we record all the stages of any project to protect 
Intellectual Property Rights as any Complaints have to be lodged before the
