Terms and Conditions

Terms & conditions

Thanks for entering Lonely Planet's Write a Review promotion. Here's some important stuff you should know.
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. Information about the prizes and how to enter forms 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 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 or its subsidiaries and affiliated companies.
How do I play?

To enter you must register on Lonely Planet's website at www.lonelyplanet.com, and review a restaurant on that website using the 'Write a Review' functionality. You don't have to buy anything to enter. You can enter between 12:00pm AEST on 13 January 2009 and 12:00pm AEST on 17 February 2009. Your entry is received at the time Lonely Planet receives it. If your dog eats your entry, it's not Lonely Planet's fault. If your entry gets lost in cyberspace or doesn't arrive for any other reason, that's not Lonely Planet's fault either. Lonely Planet might have to change the dates of the promotion, but only if it's totally unavoidable (and we'll let you know if we do).
How do you pick the winner?

Winners will be chosen daily during the promotion period. Each day, 2 judges will review all eligible entries submitted the previous day (AEST). The most interesting and informative review (as determined by the judges) will be awarded the daily prize allocated. This unenviable task will happen in a small, dark room at 90 Maribyrnong Street, Footscray, VIC Australia. The judges' decision is final (so there!) and no correspondence will be entered into, even if you think that sucks. Lady luck has nothing to do with this promotion.
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 pick a winner from all eligible entries received at that time.
What can I win?

There will be 35 prizes awarded during the competition period. Each prize will only be available for a limited time (24 hours). Each prize will be assigned randomly so that the following 24 hour's prize will not be known until the start of that period (this is to make it fun for you!).
Lonely Planet will determine which prize will be awarded each day and this prize will be notified on the lonelyplanet.com website at lonelyplanet.com/competitions/review. The following prizes will be awarded at random during the promotion period:

• 6 iPod Touch 8 GB, approximate retail value AU$329 each.
• 6 Nintendo Wii, approximate retail value AU$399 each.
• 5 vouchers to the value of $745 for use towards accommodation booked via the Lonely Planet Hotels and Hostels accommodation booking service. The prize is valid for 6 months from the date awarded. To redeem the prize, the winner must liaise with Lonely Planet's Hotels & Hostels team (contact details will be provided to the winner). There is no limit on the number of nights accommodation that can be booked, however accommodation must be booked in one transaction, and no more than 2 accommodation providers can be used. Bookings are subject to availability, and can be made up to 6 months in advance (subject to the terms of each accommodation provider, notified to the winner at the time of booking). No changes are possible once the booking is confirmed. Approximate retail value AU$745 each. This prize will be awarded in the currency applicable to the winner's country of residence, using the exchange applicable on the date the prize is awarded.
• 6 iTunes gift cards, approximate retail value AU$745 each. This prize will be awarded in the currency applicable to the winner's country of residence, using the exchange applicable on the date the prize is awarded. If the winner is awarded an iTunes Gift Card and their country of residence does not support purchases through the iTunes store, that winner will be awarded another prize of equal value selected by Lonely Planet in its sole discretion.
• 6 Canon SD 770 IS digital camera, approximate retail value AU$345 each.
• 6 Lonely Planet book packs (comprising The Travel Book (hardback), Lonely Planet Best in Travel, The Africa Book, The Asia Book, The Cities Book, The Europe Book, Australia Travel Guide, Central America on a Shoestring, China Travel Guide, Eastern Europe Travel Guide, Western Europe Travel Guide, Europe on a Shoestring, Hawai'I The Big Island, Italy Travel Guide, USA Travel Guide, France Travel Guide, New York City Encounter, Paris Encounter, Barcelona Encounter, Buenos Aires Encounter), approximate retail value AU$875 each.

All prizes are provided by Lonely Planet. Total prize value is approximately AU$19883. These prize values are accurate at the start of the promotion, and any change after the promotion begins is beyond our control.
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 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.
How do I find out if I won?

We'll give the winner the good news by email and their name(s) will be published on the Lonely Planet website within 2 days after selection. If you're riddled with curiosity, send us a stamped, self addressed envelope (including the name of the promotion) to us within 3 months of the date of selection of the winner, 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 2 months after selection, the next best entry will be declared the winner.
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. Generally, we will attribute you where possible, but in some circumstances, we may decide not to.
Lonely Planet 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/
Good luck!
