Terms and ConditionsThanks for entering Lonely Planet's Pacific Island 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 Pacific Trade & Investment Commission, Level 11, 171 Clarence Street, Sydney, NSW 2001 and South Pacific Tourism Organisation of PO Box 13119, Suva, Fiji Islands, are our promotional partners. 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?
This promotion is open only to legal residents of Australia and New Zealand. 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, Pacific Trade & Investment Commission, South Pacific Tourism Organisation, Air New Zealand 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?
To enter, go to
www.lonelyplanet.com/pacificislands, and in 25 words or less, describe your dream Pacific Island adventure. You don't have to buy anything to enter. You can enter between 12 noon AEST on1 October 2010 and 12 noon AEDST on 30 March 2011. 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 the best response to "Describe your dream Pacific Island adventure". This unenviable task will happen in a small, dark room at Lonely Planet, 90 Maribyrnong Street, Footscray, on 15 April 2011. 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 β¦
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.
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).
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 March 1 2011, 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 and its promotional partners 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
