Terms & Conditions | Win a trip to Perth and Western Australia

Thanks for entering Lonely Planet's Win a trip to Perth and Western Australia 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. Our friends at Tourism Western Australia (ABN 95 468 665 668) of 2 Mill St, Perth WA 6000 are our promotional partner. Information about the prize 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?

This promotion is open only to legal residents of United Kingdom. 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, Tourism Western Australia, or their subsidiaries and affiliated companies. If you are under 18, you have to get permission from your parents or legal guardian to enter.
How do I play?

We've collated three videos showcasing the amazing adventure experiences you can have in Perth and Western Australia. To enter the promotion, go to www.lonelyplanet.com/waadventure/competition.cfm, choose your favourite video and also tell us in 25 words or less why you want to have an Australian adventure in Perth and Western Australia.
You don't have to buy anything to enter. You can enter between 12.00pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time on 3 March 2008 and 12.00pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time on 31 March 2008. 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?

Rather than consulting tea leaves, the winner will be selected by a panel of 3 judges, including one independent judge, who will review all the eligible entries and then decide which is the most creative and provides the best reasoning why they want to have an Australian adventure in Perth and Western Australia. This unenviable task will happen in a small, dark room at Lonely Planet 90 Maribyrnong Street, Footscray, Melbourne, Australia, 3011 on 3 April 2008. 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.

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 and surcharges (unless otherwise stated). You will also be responsible for travel insurance, health insurance, meals, ground transportation (unless otherwise stated), ancillary expenses including personal expenses and spending and any other fees and costs connected with that prize that are not included in the prize description. Compliance with any health or other government requirements is the responsibility of the prize winner and his/her nominated travel companion.
If, in order to take the prize, you're lucky enough to need a valid passport and/or other necessary travel documentation and visas, you'll need to sort those out for yourself (including finding out what documents you need). If you're under 18, we're afraid you'll have to take one of your parents or a legal guardian with you.
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 by 3 July 2008, the next best entry will be declared the winner.

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.

If you win a prize, Lonely Planet can use your name and photograph for future marketing purposes unless you tell us not to.
