Subscribe to win a Bhutan Photography TourHere are the terms and conditions which apply to Lonely Planet’s Subscribe to Win a Bhutan Photography Tour promotion. Please read them carefully, as they contain 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 World Expeditions PTY LTD (ABN36 127 619 925) of Level 5, 71 York St, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia are our promotional partner.
Information about the prizes and how to enter,form part of these conditions of entry. By entering the promotion, these conditions of entry apply to your entry. Any changes to these conditions of entry will be subject to regulatory approval published on the competition entry page
http://lonelyplanet.com/competitions/photography, so you should check these conditions of entry regularly.
These conditions of entry are governed by the laws of Australia.
Can I play?
You must be aged 18 years or older at the commencement of the promotion, in order to be eligible to enter. 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, World Expeditions PTY LTD, or their subsidiaries and affiliated companies.
How do I play?
To enter, go to
http://lonelyplanet.com/competitions/photography, complete the entry form and subscribe to receive Lonely Planet’s emails. You can enter between 12am AEDT on 4th December 2012
and 12am AEDT on 4th February 2013. You don’t have to buy anything to enter, but you must remain subscribed to Lonely Planet’s emails until after the initial draw date on 5th February 2013.
You can only enter once ‑ we’ll make confetti out of any extra entries you submit. Your entry is received at the time Lonely Planet receives it. Incomplete and invalid entries will not be accepted. If your entry gets lost in cyberspace or doesn’t arrive for any other reason, that’s not Lonely Planet’s fault.
Lonely Planet might have to extend the dates of the promotion but only if it’s totally unavoidable (for example, if the competition entry page is unavailable for 24 hours or more) and we’ll let you know if we do.
How do you pick the winner?
The winner will be determined by a random draw of all eligible entries. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. This unenviable task will happen in a small, dark room at 90 Maribyrnong Street, Footscray, Victoria 3011 Australia, on 5th February 2013. The draw is random and so no correspondence will be entered into.
Lonely Planet reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who has engaged in unlawful or improper conduct that is designed to jeopardise the fair conduct of the promotion or is generally damaging to the reputation of Lonely Planet, or has otherwise breached these conditions of entry (as determined in Lonely Planet’s sole discretion, subject to any direction/s given by any relevant regulatory authority).
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 conduct the draw from all eligible entries received at that time.
What can I win?
One lucky winner will receive:
A place for one person on World Expeditions’ 13 day Bhutan with Richard l’Anson tour (trip code BIF). Tour information and itinerary is available via World Expeditions website at http://www.worldexpeditions.com/index.php?section=trips&id=782314 (provided by World Expeditions - approximate retail value AU$4290). Please note that this tour departs on 24th March 2013. If minimum numbers are not met, or if the winner is unable to travel at this time, the winner may choose to take either of the following World Expeditions tours:
11 day Bhutan Dragon Kingdom tour (trip code: BDK). Tour information and itinerary is available at http://www.worldexpeditions.com/index.php?section=trips&id=42)%2520Kingdom (approximate retail value AU$2990); or

AU$500 to be used towards the purchase of one return economy airfare from the nearest international airport to the winner's home city, which services flights to Bhutan (provided by Lonely Planet). The winner will be responsible for any additional cost for the airfares over and above this amount. If the total cost of the airfare is less than this amount, the winner will not receive the balance in cash or any other method.
Information on how to claim the prize will be given to the winner, once we have confirmed that the winner is eligible to receive the prize. Travel must commence before 31 December 2013, otherwise the prize will be forfeited.
Total prize value is between approximately AU$2590 and AU$4790, depending on which tour the winner chooses. These prize values are accurate at the start of the promotion.
How do I find out if I won?
We’ll give the winner the good news by email and their name(s) will be in the Public Notices section of The Australian newspaper and on the Lonely Planet website within 2 days after the draw. If you’re riddled with curiosity, send an email to
CS_Comps@lonelyplanet.com.au (including the name of the promotion) within 3 months of the date of the draw, and we’ll respond 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 1st May 2013, a redraw will be conducted on 20th May 2013, and a new winner announced (subject to regulatory approval).
If you do win
We may ask you to provide proof of identify, residency and age, so that we are sure you are who you say you are, and are eligible to receive the prize. We’ll decide whether the proof you provide is adequate (but generally speaking, a certified copy of your passport or drivers’ licence will be sufficient). If you can’t provide, or refuse to provide, suitable proof, then unfortunately you will be disqualified, and we will choose another winner (subject to the direction of regulatory authorities).
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 either for cash or another prize of comparable value, but we’ll decide which.
You’ll be responsible for all taxes, insurance meals, pre / post night hotels and airport transfers, domestic transfers, spending money, sightseeing activities (beyond those included as part of the prize) 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)..
You are responsible for your use of the prize, including complying with any applicable terms and conditions of use. Of course, if you win a prize, you’ll be good and comply with all relevant laws, rules and regulations.
Please note that the nature of the prize may be such that it poses health or safety risks, or risks normally associated with travel to you and your guest (where the prize allows you to take a guest). For this reason, you should consider any health, safety and travel risks and take appropriate precautions (including arranging insurance) to guard against those risks.
Lonely Planet is 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 these conditions of entry 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.
What happens to my entry?
You agree that all of your entry is your own work, and on submission, your entry becomes the property of Lonely Planet.
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. We will keep your personal information in accordance with Lonely Planet’s privacy policy at
www.lonelyplanet.com/legal/privacy-policy . You can find World Expeditions Pty Limited privacy policy at
