Competition. Entries must meet the requirements of the brief as provided on the competition entry
page, and must also comply with the Pikeo Terms of Use

(

B) A panel of judges will select the best photo for each of the four cities (i.e. 1 photo from each group)
and then 27 runners-up photos from all those sent in, corresponding to the theme “The greatest photos
of Paris, Barcelona, Istanbul and London for the cover of the Encounter guides” and thus choose 31

7. Limitation of liability
Participation in the Competition implies knowledge and acceptance of the characteristics and limits of the
Internet, notably in relation to technical performance, response times for viewing, querying or
transferring information, the risk of interruption and, more generally, the risks inherent in any
connection and transmission on the Internet, the absence of protection of certain data against possible
misappropriation and the risk of contamination by any viruses circulating on the network.
As a result, the Organizer cannot, under any circumstances, without this list being limitative, be held
liable for:
- any malfunction of the Internet network preventing smooth roll-out/operation of the Competition;
- the failure of any receiving equipment or communication lines;
- the loss of any paper or electronic mail and, more generally, the loss of any data;
- routing problems;
- the operation of any software;
- the consequences of any virus, computer bug, anomaly or technical failure;

that they might cause.
It is specified that the Organizer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from an
interruption or malfunction of any kind, irrespective of the reason, or for any direct damage whatsoever
that might result from a connection to the site developed within the framework of this Competition. It is
up to all Participants to take appropriate measures to protect their own data and/or software stored on
their computer equipment against any interference. Anyone logging on to the site developed within the
framework of this Competition and Participants taking part in the Competition do so under their own
responsibility.
The Organizer may cancel all or part of the Competition if it becomes apparent that fraud has occurred in
any form whatsoever, notably by computerized means, within the framework of participation in the
Competition or in deciding on the winners. In this event, the Organizer reserves the right not to award
prizes to the perpetrators of fraud and/or to take appropriate legal action against the people responsible
for this fraud. However, the Organizer cannot be held liable in any way in relation to Participants for any
fraud which may be committed. The following will notably be considered as fraud:
• If a Participant proposes photos for which he or she does not hold the rights.
• If a Participant registers and then takes part in the Competition under one or more fictitious
assumed names, fictitious emails, or names borrowed from one or more third parties: each
Participant must register and take part in the Competition with a unique alias and email address.
• The use of multiple email addresses in an attempt to participate several times.
In the event of fraud, the Participant will be eliminated.
8. Agreement of proof
It is hereby agreed that, except in the event of manifest error, the Organizer may use – notably as proof
of any action, fact or omission - programmes, data, files, records, operations and other elements (such
as follow-up reports or similar) of a computerized/electronic nature, format or medium, established,
received or directly or indirectly retained by the Organizer, in its information systems in particular.
Participants will not contest the admissibility, validity or evidential value of the above-mentioned
elements of a computerized/electronic nature, format or medium, on the basis of any legal provision of
any kind, which might specify that certain documents must be written or signed by the parties to
constitute proof.
As a result, the elements considered constitute proof and, if produced as means of proof by the
Organizer in any legal or other proceedings, they will be admissible, valid and enforceable between the
parties in the same way, under the same conditions and with the same evidential value as any document
established, received or retained in writing.
9. Case of force majeure – Extension reservations
The Organizer cannot be held liable if, due to a case of force majeure or circumstances beyond its
control, the Competition were to be modified, curtailed or cancelled.
In all cases, the Organizer reserves the right to extend the period of participation and to postpone any
date announced.
Any modification to the Rules will give rise to a new document being lodged at the offices of PIQUET
MOLITOR, Official Bailiffs, 23 rue Vaneau 75007 Paris, and will take effect from the time it is onlined: all
Participants will be deemed to have accepted it simply by their participation in the LONELY PLANET –
Pikeo Photo Competition, as of the effective date of the modification. Any Participant refusing the
modification(s) made should cease to participate in the LONELY PLANET – Pikeo Photo Competition by
deleting their photos from the group “LONELY PLANET COMPETITION: [CITY]“.
