Article 1: Object
The company GAMELOFT S.A., domiciled at 81, rue Réaumur, 75002 Paris, registered with the Paris RCS under the number 429 338 130 (hereinafter referred to as GAMELOFT), is organizing a contest, free and with no purchase necessary, titled "UNO™ Contest" (the "Game"), available only to members of the social networking site Facebook.
Participation in this contest involves accepting irrevocably and without reservations the present rules (the "Rules"), the laws of ethics in place on the Internet, as well as laws, regulations (notably fiscal) and other applicable texts regarding games in France. Non-compliance with the conditions of participation stated in the present Rules will cause the participation to be null. GAMELOFT cannot in any case be held responsible for the participation of a person domiciled in country other than those stated herein.
Article 2: Conditions of Participation
The "UNO™ Contest" game, free and with no purchase necessary, is open to any person residing in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain, regardless of nationality, who is a member of the social networking site Facebook (hereinafter referred to as the "Participant"). Persons with a direct legal link to GAMELOFT, or who have participated in the elaboration of this contest, as well as members of their families, are excluded and can neither play nor benefit, in any regard or under any form whatsoever, from the prizes to be won.
Article 3: Duration and Availability
The Game will take place from November 11, 2009 to November 25, 2009 inclusively. The Game will be available only to members of the social networking site Facebook. However, GAMELOFT reserves the right to extend, suspend or interrupt the current contest at any moment and without prior notice if the circumstances require it. GAMELOFT cannot be held responsible for this as a result.
Article 4: Terms of Registration and Participation
Participation in this Game is free and without purchase necessary in the conditions defined herein. All participants can request a refund of the cost of their participation in the contest in the conditions described in Article 10 below.
The objective for all Participants is to become a Fan of Gameloft’s page on Facebook by visiting www.facebook.com/gameloft and validating their participation in the contest by writing the message "I want to play UNO™ on the Nintendo Wii and DSi" on the wall of Gameloft's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/gameloft).
Posting this message on the wall of Gameloft's Facebook page validates participation in the random drawing. Each Participant can only participate in the Game once and can only win once throughout the duration of the contest.
Article 5: Appointing the Winners
At the end of the contest, a random drawing will be performed among the Participants who posted the above message on the wall of the Facebook page defined above. 31 Participants will be drawn at random and will be appointed winners of one of the 31 prizes in the game. The randomly selected Participant in 1st place will be awarded Prize 1 as defined below. Participants randomly drawn from 2nd to 31st places will be awarded Prizes 2 to 31 respectively as defined below.
Normally, prizes should be sent to the winners via postal service within 2 (two) months from the end date of the contest. However, this delay is purely by way of example, and GAMELOFT cannot be held responsible as a result in case the aforementioned delay has passed. Only one prize per Household will be awarded throughout the duration of the Game. The prizes will be sent to the postal address provided by the Participant. Prizes awarded to winners cannot be contested, neither for a remittance of an exchange value in money, total or partial, nor for an exchange or replacement for any cause whatsoever. Prizes are non-negotiable. Consequently, no claims will be acknowledged. GAMELOFT denies all responsibility in case of any incident that may occur to the winner during the use or enjoyment of the prize awarded. In case a winner expressly waives their prize, the latter will be kept by GAMELOFT and may be used in a future operation, if the nature of the prize permits it. Prizes offered to winners are nominative and cannot be awarded to another person. Before remittance of their prize, each winner must fulfill the conditions defined in the Rules and confirm their identity. It is stated that if a minor wins one of the prizes offered in the Game, the prize will be awarded only upon the written approval of a person having parental authority. Absence of authorization will result in the loss of the prize, which will not be awarded again. In case a prize is returned to GAMELOFT or is not distributed, the winner loses the right to claim their prize, and GAMELOFT cannot be held responsible. GAMELOFT cannot be held responsible for any deterioration during transportation, theft or loss incurred during the delivery. GAMELOFT cannot be held responsible for any incidents or accidents that may occur during the use of the prizes. Upon simply participating in the contest, winners authorize GAMELOFT to reproduce and use their surname, name, address, mobile telephone number and e-mail address in any promotional operation or advertising and promotional event related to the current Game, without this use conferring upon the winners the right to payment or any advantage other than the remittance of the prize.
