The Progress Project Prize Draw terms
Who’s running the show?
The promoter is Lonely Planet Publications
Pty Limited (ABN 36 005 607 983) of 90 Maribyrnong Street, Footscray,
Victoria 3011 Australia. Our friends at Nokia Corporation, Keilalahdentie
4, 02150 Espoo, Finland are our promotional partner. Information
about the prizes and how to enter form part of these conditions of entry.
By entering the promotion, you agree that these conditions of entry
apply to your entry and that Lonely Planet’s decisions (as the promoter)
will be final. Any changes will be subject to approval and published
on the Lonely Planet website at www.lonelyplanet.com.
Can I play?
The laws in some places don’t allow
Lonely Planet to run this promotion, in which case the promotion and
these conditions of entry are void in those places. Also, you can’t
enter this promotion if you (or your immediate families or housemates)
are employed by Lonely Planet, Nokia Corporation or their subsidiaries
and affiliated companies.
How do I play?
To enter you must during the promotion
period, complete and submit an online entry at http://www.theprogressproject.
How do you pick the winner?
The winner will be determined by a random
draw of all eligible entries. Odds of winning depend on the number
of eligible entries received. This unenviable task will happen
in a small, dark room at Lonely Planet, 90 Maribyrnong Street, Footscray,
Victoria 3011 Australia, on 6 April 2010. Lonely Planet’s decision
is final (so there!) and no correspondence will be entered into, even
if you think that sucks.
Lonely Planet can cancel or modify the
promotion if there are compelling technical or administrative reasons
which we cannot control. If that happens, Lonely Planet will conduct
the draw from all eligible entries received at that time.
What can I win?
The first 5 entries randomly draw will
each win a sim-free Nokia N97 handset with a RRP of €549 (approximately
AUD$895) and a single copy of Lonely Planet’s Volunteer: A Traveller’s
Guide To Making A Difference Around the World with a RRP of €17.50
(approximately AUD$30).
Total maximum prize value is approximately
€2,832.50 (approximately AUD$4,650). These prize values are accurate
as at 26 October 2009, and any change after the promotion begins is
beyond our control.
How do I find out if I won?
We’ll give the winner the good news
via the email address provided by the entrant at the time of entering
the promotion and their name(s) will be published on the Lonely Planet
website within 2 days after the draw. If you’re riddled with curiosity,
send us a stamped, self-addressed envelope (including the name of the
promotion) within 3 months of the date of the draw, and we’ll write
back and tell you who won.
Lonely Planet will do its best to find
the winner. But if we can’t, or if the winner hasn’t accepted
the prize by 6 July 2010, a redraw will be conducted on 12 July 2010,
and a new winner announced.
If you do win
…
You can’t exchange the prize for cash,
or ask us to give it to someone else (not that you’d want to!).
If for some terrible reason Lonely Planet cannot award the prize as
described, we’ll substitute it either for cash or another prize of
comparable value (but we’ll decide which).
You’ll be responsible for all taxes,
insurance and organising a mobile network contract or sim for your N97
handset and any other expenses, fees and costs connected with that prize
that are not included in the prize description.
Before we can give you your prize, you’ll
have to sign a “release”, which says that if anything goes wrong
with your prize once it’s been awarded, you agree that Lonely Planet
and its promotional partners won’t be responsible (unless the law
says otherwise). If the prize description says you can take a friend,
you’ll need to get your friend to sign a release too.
Of course, if you win a prize, you’ll
be good and comply with all relevant laws, rules and regulations.
What happens to my entry?
On submission, your entry becomes the
property of Lonely Planet, and you give Lonely Planet a worldwide, irrevocable
licence to reproduce, publish, adapt, communicate and broadcast all
or part of it in any form and media, and to sublicense those rights
(including to our related companies, licensee publishers and partners).
You also consent to us editing, re-using, storing, reproducing and communicating
your entry in any medium. We’ll decide whether you should be attributed.
Lonely Planet and its promotional partners
will only use the personal information contained in your entry to conduct
the promotion and award the prize (but if you’ve told Lonely Planet
that you want to receive stuff from us and/or our promotional partners,
we’ll use your personal information for that too). If you win a prize,
Lonely Planet can use your name and photograph for future marketing
purposes unless you tell us not to. You can view Lonely Planet’s
privacy policy at www.lonelyplanet.com/privacy/.
