Even those who are not interested in influencer and entertainer Kamil Bartosek, better known as Kazma, know about it. It’s about the most famous competition of today, which has made the whole Czech Republic crazy. But as we found out after examining the terms and conditions of the contest, winning the one million dollar prize is by no means certain. And even the law won’t stand up for the eventual winner. So it’s possible that Kazma will legally avoid having to pay out the prize at all.

The contest is tied to ONEMANSHOW: The Movie, which is currently in theaters and gives ticket-holders a card to enter a follow-up contest to win $1 million. It is the most successful Czech film in history, so the competition is a mass affair.

The essence of the competition is the opening of a vault guarded by armed security guards in Prague’s Holešovice. This can be achieved in two ways: either by winning a special prize card, which can be given to one of the lucky cinema-goers together with a ticket, or by entering a unique ten-digit code, the individual positions of which can be obtained by watching the film carefully and following the search outside the cinema premises. The whole game is additionally timed for added excitement.

It is clear from the concept of the competition that it is intended to motivate viewers to revisit the film and look for further clues. It will probably not be possible for any visitor to crack the code in a few days. This would remove the main incentive for others to visit the film.

The final cracking of the code is therefore by no means certain. That’s what we’re counting on. Surprisingly for the legal layman, however, even if someone does manage to crack the ten-digit code, even then their winnings are not guaranteed. In fact, the organizer reserves in article 5.9 of its competition terms and conditions that the payment of the prize is neither legally entitled nor enforceable in court.

This is also in line with the law which states that if the prize has not been given, the winning party cannot claim it. So the question is whether the whole nation is now chasing only chimera.

Seriously, what could be better than that? While it sounds ‘too good to be true,’ I’m happy to report that the staff at DA are pros, and what’s more they are honestly dedicated to their awesome mission, which is to make quality legal services affordable for the average person. I find their prices very fair when compared to what I’ve usually paid for similar services, which means I (and my family and friends) can get the legal help I need without worrying about some black hole of never-ending fees. In my own experience with DA I’ve found everyone there very responsive, and emails and calls are answered in a timely manner. Their large staff also gives me confidence that any legal needs I have can be handled professionally, as there’s always someone with experience in my particular issue. Their head attorney also writes a regular blog and keeps up with all the latest legal trends, which means they as a business stay up-to-date. As someone who’s spent a fortune over the years on legal assistance, or tried to “go it alone” when I couldn’t afford legal help, I wish Dostupny Advokat had been around a long time ago. I highly encourage anyone who needs legal help to TRY THEM FIRST!

I felt very uncomfortable meeting an attorney in person. But Dostupný advokát managed to solve everything for me online. I bought a consultation because my employer had sent me for a long term business trip to an exotic country with no explanation, and I wanted to be sure what my rights in this situation were. The Skype consultation was very pleasant and the service was fast. I can fully recommend them.

Jan Vrátný, Veselí nad Lužnicí

I work as a self-employed craftsman and I know my field very well. Unexpected events happen, however, and I sometimes have to deal with problems where I need quality legal advice. I don’t like calling legal offices, getting sucked into discussions with terms I don’t understand. Dostupnyadvokat.cz is different. My first time, they replied immediately and together we created a contract custom tailored to my exact needs. I continue to be very happy with both their work and their price.
