How is the winner chosen?
14. Rather than consulting tea leaves, the winner will be selected at random from all eligible entries.
15. The random draw to select the winner will happen in a small, dark room at 124 Linden Street, Oakland, CA 94607 on Monday October 2nd, 2017.
16. We’ll give the winner the good news by email and their name will be published on the Lonely Planet website within 2 days after selection. If you’re riddled with curiosity, send an email to social@lonelyplanet.com (including the name of the promotion) within 3 months of the Closing Date, and we’ll respond and tell you who won.
17. 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 November 2nd, 2017, Lonely Planet will randomly draw a second winner. Where there is a compelling technical or administrative reason out of Lonely Planet’s control, the winner(s) will be selected from all eligible entries received at that time.
If you do win
18. We may ask you to provide proof of identity, residency and age, so that we are sure you are who you say you are, and are eligible to receive the prize.
19. You can’t exchange the prize for cash, or ask us to give it to someone else (not that you’d want to!). We will use reasonable efforts to award the prize as described but if due to unforeseen circumstances we are unable to do that, we’ll substitute it for another prize of comparable value.
20. You’ll be responsible for all taxes, insurance, spending money, passports, visas, vaccinations, transfers, fuel/currency surcharges, transfers not included in trip itinerary, additional meals and alcoholic beverages not included in the prize, room service, gratuities, merchandise, telephone calls and any other expenses, fees and costs connected with that prize that are not included in the prize description.
21. 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.
22. You are responsible for your use of the prize, including complying with any applicable terms and conditions of use including Acanela’s Terms, here: http://www.acanela.com/acanela-terms. Of course, if you win a prize, you’ll be good and comply with all relevant laws, rules and regulations. Lonely Planet reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who has engaged in unlawful or improper conduct.
23. The nature of the prize may be such that it poses risks, or risks normally associated with travel to you (and if applicable, to your guest). You should consider any health, safety and travel risks and take appropriate precautions (including arrange insurances) to guard against those risks. Lonely Planet and its promotional partners are not responsible for use of the prize which results in:
a) loss that was not reasonably foreseeable;
b) loss that was not caused by our breach of this deed or by our negligence;
c) business losses (such as lost data, lost profits or business interruptions) or loss suffered by non-consumers;
d) losses caused by factors which could reasonably be considered to be outside our control (such as faults in third party equipment, or delayed or cancelled flights); and
e) any loss caused, or contributed to, by your breach of conditions of entry or your negligence.
24. You acknowledge that Lonely Planet, not any promotional partner, is the sponsor of this sweepstakes, and that any claims or disputes regarding the sweepstakes are between you and Lonely Planet. You agree that if you have a dispute with Lonely Planet in relation to this Prize Draw: (1) it will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action; (2) any claim will be limited to an action at law for damages and you will not be permitted to obtain attorneys’ fees or other legal costs; and (3) you waive all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased and your right to claim indirect, punitive, incidental and consequential damages.
