The participant also confirms that they are authorised, on behalf of any such third parties to consent to the use of this data and these images by WILO SE. The submitted images may be used by WILO SE for internal and public communication purposes, including social media, websites, marketing materials and press releases.

The participant grants WILO SE and its affiliated companies the unrestricted right, in terms of time and territory, to use the media materials submitted as part of the registration process. This includes, in particular, the right to use the media materials worldwide for media productions and product advertising of WILO SE and its affiliated companies, which are disseminated, among other things, via the Internet (including social media), in print media and print products, at trade fairs, at events and at points of sale.
