Should an event occur that is beyond the Organiser’s control, including one that arises from its supplier or to unforeseen circumstances (hereinafter referred to as “Force majeure occurrences”), the Organiser reserves the right to replace announced Prizes by prizes of an equivalent value. Winners shall be informed of potential changes without having the right to contest them or to demand the initial Prize.

By participating in the Sweepstake, Participants accept provisions in these Rules and the collection of the aforementioned PDP.

All brands, logos, text, videos, and other distinctive signs appearing on the Website and on websites to which hypertext links lead, and on Social Media, are the exclusive property of their holders and are protected as such by provisions in the Intellectual Property Code worldwide.

Any unauthorised reproduction, whether in part or in full, of these brands, logos, and signs shall constitute counterfeiting and shall be prosecuted.

Article 9: Responsibility

9.1 The Organiser’s liability regarding prizes that are granted after a winner has been named is expressly limited to the description of prizes appearing in these Rules, excluding any other liability whatsoever.
Facebook and Instagram shall under no circumstances be held liable for damages arising from Participants’ participation in the Sweepstake.

9.2 Participation in the Sweepstake implies that Participants are aware of and accept Internet features and limitations, and more generally, the inherent risks of any Internet connection and transmission.

Consequently, under no circumstances shall the Organiser be held liable, without this list being exhaustive:
- for the contents of Sweepstake-specific Social Media, and generally, for any information and/or information that is shared on Sweepstake-specific Social Media;
- for transmitting and/or receiving any data and/or information online;
- for any Internet network malfunction that might prevent the smooth running/functioning of the Sweepstake;
- for the failure of any receiving hardware or communication lines;
- for the loss of any paper or electronic mail, and more generally, for the loss of any data;
- for routing problems;
- for the operation of any software;
- for the consequences of any virus, computer glitch, anomaly, or technical failure;
- for any damage caused to a Participant’s computer;
- and for any technical, material, and software failure of any kind which may prevent or limit a Participant’s ability to participate in the Sweepstake or which has damaged their system.

It is stipulated that the Organiser shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect damage arising from any interruption or malfunction, for the adjournment or termination of the Sweepstake, for any reason whatsoever.

All Participants are responsible for taking appropriate steps to protect their own data and/or software stored on their IT equipment against all damage. The Organiser’s liability shall generally not be incurred in the event of a force majeure or fortuitous event beyond its control.

Article 10: Convention of proof

By express agreement between Participants and the Organiser, the Organiser’s systems and files shall be exclusively regarded as official.

Computerised records that are stored in the Organiser’s computer systems in reasonable security and reliability conditions, shall be considered as proof of relationships and communications between the Organiser and Participants.

It is consequently agreed that, unless there is an obvious error, the Organiser shall have the right, including for the purpose of proving an action, deed, or omission, to programmes, data, files, recordings, operations, and other elements (such as follow-up reports or other statements) of any kind or in computer or electronic forms or formats, that are established, received or stored by the Organiser, whether directly or indirectly, including in its computer systems.

These elements shall thus constitute proof by the Organiser in any litigation or other procedure, and shall be receivable, valid, and opposable between the parties in the same way, under the same conditions, and with the same evidential value as any document which has been established, received, or stored in writing.

Article 11: Governing law, conferral of jurisdiction, and interpretation of Rules

Any potential dispute regarding the interpretation of Rules shall be settled by the Organiser.

Participating in the Sweepstake implies the unconditional acceptance (i) of these Rules including all its stipulations, (ii) current online deontological rules, and (iii) current laws and regulations on the UK territory, including current provisions which apply to games and lotteries.

Telephone or written requests regarding the interpretation or the application of the Rules herein, or Sweepstake mechanisms or modalities shall not be answered. In the event of a dispute, only registered letters with acknowledgement of receipt sent within at most 30 (thirty) days following the end of the Sweepstake shall be admissible. Except in the event of obvious errors, it is agreed that information resulting from the Organiser’s Sweepstake mechanisms shall be deemed good proof in any dispute regarding connection elements and the computer processing of the aforementioned information on the Sweepstake. Participants undertake to first submit themselves to mediation with the Organiser before any legal proceeding arising from the Rules herein (in particular, regarding their application or their interpretation). Participants are subject to UK regulations on games and competitions.

In the event of a dispute relating to the interpretation, validity, performance or non-performance of the Rules or any ancillary matters, the Parties agree that UK law shall apply and that any challenges to the Contract or disputes relating to them shall be decided by competent UK Courts.
