General: 

The Promotion Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, modify, extend or suspend this Prize Draw or Prize Draw Rules should (in its sole discretion) virus, bugs, non-authorized human intervention, fraud or other causes beyond its reasonable control corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness or proper conduct of the Prize Draw. In such case, the Promotion Company may select the winner from all eligible Entries received prior to and/or after (if appropriate) the action taken by the Promotion Company. 

To the extent permitted by law, upon suspension or cancellation, the Promotion Company cannot be held liable for any expenses incurred or damages suffered, whether direct, indirect, consequential or inconsequential, and the Promotion Company shall not be obliged to organise any alternative Prize Draw or offer any alternative prize. 

In the event of unforeseen circumstances, or circumstances outside of the Promotion Company's reasonable control, the Promotion Company reserves the right to amend, withdraw or substitute any part of this Prize Draw and/or prize for a reasonable alternative. 

The Promotion Company may prohibit an Entrant from participating in the Prize Draw or winning a prize if, in its sole discretion, it determines that said Entrant is attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of the Prize Draw by cheating, hacking, deception, or other unfair playing practices (including the use of automated quick entry programs) or intending to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other Entrants or Promotion Company representatives. 

Multiple Entrants are not permitted to share the same Instagram account. Any attempt by any Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different Instagram accounts, identities or any other methods will void that Entrant's entries and that Entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any Instagram account, the authorized account holder will be deemed to be the Entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an account by Instagram. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. 

The Promotion Company is not responsible for any technical problems or human error that may result in an Entry not being received or being lost or damaged or for any destruction or alteration of, or unauthorized access to, Prize Draw registrations and Entries. 

The Promotion Company reserves the right, at any time, to verify the validity of Entry and Entrants (including an Entrant's identity, age and place of residence) and to disqualify any Entry that is not in accordance with these Prize Draw Rules.  

Save where the Promotion Company has been negligent, and to the extent permitted by law, the Promotion Company shall in no way be liable for any injuries, losses, damages or expenses suffered or incurred by any winner of the Prize Draw, as a direct or indirect result of participating in this Prize Draw and/or accepting a prize. 

The Promotion Company’s decision is final. No correspondence will be entered into except with the winners to notify them that they have won and to provide the prizes. 

The prizes quoted are subject to availability and, in the event of unforeseen circumstances, or circumstances outside of the Promotion Company reasonable control, the Promotion Company reserves the right to amend, withdraw or substitute any part of this Prize Draw and/or prize for an alternative arrangement of equal or greater value.  

The prize is not transferable, and no cash or other alternative arrangements will be offered.  

Failure by the Promotion Company to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights. 

This Prize Draw is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram. 

Winners will be solely responsible for all applicable taxes relating to their prize. 

If any term of these Prize Draw Rules shall be found to be void or contrary to law, such section shall be considered invalid, but all unaffected sections shall remain in effect. 

In case of discrepancy between the French and the translated versions of these Prize Draw Official Rules, the French version prevails. 

These rules are governed by French law and, in principle, the courts of Paris have jurisdiction, subject to public policy provisions allowing the consumer to bring the matter before another court. In addition, the designation of French law by these rules does not deprive the consumer of his right to claim the application of the law of his State of residence which would be more protective than French law.
