4. Procedure
Participation in lavera product tests is voluntary and takes place without financial compensation.
a) Registration
To participate in lavera product tests, prior registration is required. This registration is free of charge and does not obligate participants to take part in product tests. During registration, participants must enter the data marked as mandatory fields into the provided form. This information is crucial for determining the respective target group.
Use of the lavera Product Test Center is permitted exclusively for private and non-commercial purposes. By registering, participants commit to providing complete and truthful information.
The details of the collection, processing, and use of the collected data are regulated in the privacy policy.
Submitting a registration request implies consent to these terms of use and participation. Consent to these conditions is a mandatory part of the registration process.
b) Application for a specific product test
After registration, participants will be notified via their registered email address about new product tests suitable for their target group. Interested individuals can then apply for current product tests. This requires answering additional test-specific application questions. The opportunity to apply is available within the specified participation period.
c) Selection process
The number of test products is limited. The selection of participants from all applications is based on the data provided during registration as well as the answers to the application questions. The aim is to achieve an optimal match between the product tests and the participants' profiles. Those considered in the selection process for a test will be informed of their participation by email. Those not selected will also receive a notification of non-selection via email.
d) Test phase
The selected participants will receive the test product by mail in time before the start of the product test, sent to the address provided during the application. This product is provided free of charge for testing purposes and must not be passed on to third parties. The accompanying letter sent with the product package contains instructions on how to use the product, which participants should follow during testing.
e) Evaluation of the test product
The evaluation of each test product is done via an online questionnaire. The accompanying letter, which is sent to the selected participants with the product package, includes the specified date by which the online questionnaire must be completed. Towards the end of the test period, participants will receive a reminder email containing a link to the questionnaire. This questionnaire consists of predefined questions related to the tested product.
The collected answers are used exclusively for internal purposes, such as optimizing our formulations, and will not be made publicly available.
f) Reminder email
After the test period ends, participants who have not yet submitted an evaluation will receive an email. This serves as a reminder and aims to encourage participants to voluntarily submit a review.
5. Exclusion of Participants
Laverana GmbH & Co. KG reserves the right to exclude participants who provide false information, use unauthorized aids suspected of manipulation, or otherwise violate the participation conditions from the testing program.
Further grounds for exclusion are regulated in the participation conditions.
6. Confidential Information
All information of any kind related to the test products is considered confidential information of Laverana GmbH & Co. KG. Therefore, the publication of experience reports from the test subjects via social media or other channels is not permitted. Laverana GmbH & Co.
