Hmm, seven screenshots posted so far and only one complying with the new rule. Pity, some of them look really nice.
Also with some town scenery for those who want it. The door makes for an interesting frame to work with!
I think you might want to take a look at the wording of the terms and conditions, it's ambiguous at best and at worst disqualifies several of the previous winners. The way the terms and conditions are written it could be interpreted so that if you're a resident of the US for example you cannot enter. If you're a resident of the UK or Germany but are entering from a location where participation in competitions is unlawful, you cannot enter. So this competition is only open to residents of the UK and Germany, entering from a location where competitions are lawful. I don't understand why you'd specifically mention residency of two particular countries if the competition is in fact open to residents of all countries, where entry in the competition is deemed lawful. Can you tell I've read one too many contracts over the years?!
DTG care, or else they wouldn't have a page of terms and conditions. 'Contra proferentem' means that the interpretation which goes against the party who drafted it (DTG) would likely be the one upheld in court, so it's very much in DTG's interest to make sure their terms and conditions are clear.
At first I thought it should be worded "be a resident of the United Kingdom or Germany or where participation in..." Our legal department however insists that 'and' is the correct wording. Legalese seems different to common English. We have been over it though, basically the wording here guarantee's you're fine to enter if you live in the UK or Germany. Anywhere else you'll need to check your local laws to make sure you're allowed to participate in this sort of contest.
Your first thought was correct and would have meant that 'and' and 'or' were being used consistently throughout the document. 'Or' and 'and' are often used as synonyms in legal terms, which is fine so long as they are used consistently throughout the document. However reading elsewhere in the terms and conditions 'and' is used in the conventional sense to mean 'as well as' and 'or' is used to mean 'alternatively'. For example: The 'and/or' here implies that the whoever drafted the document regards the two words to hold different meanings, or else using 'and' alone would suffice. This then makes the part of the terms and conditions I previously highlighted ambiguous, as the reader doesn't know whether 'or' and 'and' are being used synonymously or not. This is why 'and/or' should be avoided in legal documents.

Hi Zero, could you have your images hosted somewhere else? The links are broken from my point of view, I can't see the images...
Great shot from a great angle. Truly a winning screenshot! TSW screenshots have their moments that they almost seem to real.
