In cases of force majeure, the Organiser reserves the right to substitute the prize announced with a prize of equivalent value. The winners authorise any checks concerning their identity, age and address: postal address, email address and IP address (Internet Protocol). Any information that is proven to be false concerning the identity or addresses (postal and/or electronic) of the winner would void their participation in the Game and, where applicable, would lead to a reimbursement of prizes already sent.
Article VII: Advertising and promotion of winners
Given the acceptance of their prize, the winner authorises the Organiser to use their name, city of residence, in any promotional event related to this Game, in any country, in any media (existing or future), without this use giving rise to any consideration other than the prize won, and this for a maximum period of 1 year.

Article X: Reimbursement of Game expenses
1. Terms of reimbursement:
For reimbursement of the Game participation expenses and to see the Rules as well as for any possible postage and/or photocopying expenses, simply make the joint request within 30 days after the closing date of the Game (with post office stamp as postmark) to the Game address: KAPORAL COLLECTIONS - Springtime Game ESHOP - 20, bd Ampère 13014 Marseille, clearly stating the following information: full name, complete postal address, date and time of participation. The refund request must be accompanied by a bank RIB, or RIP RICE [account details from French banks] and a copy of the participant’s internet service provider's invoice showing: firstly, the exact nature of the internet service provider’s provision, and its billing method (unlimited, flat rate, etc.) and, secondly, the date and time of connection corresponding to the participation in the game clearly underlined or highlighted by the participant.
Given that in the current state of service and technology offerings, some internet service providers offer a free or flat rate connection to internet users, it is expressly agreed that any access to the site made on a free or flat rate basis (especially such as cable connection, ADSL or specialised link) shall not give rise to any reimbursement, to the extent that the subscription to the provider’s service is in this case entered into by the user for their use of the internet in general and that the fact that the participant connects to the internet to participate in the site does not cause any additional fees or charges. To be reimbursed are only the costs caused by participation, carried out as part of an Internet access charged by the minute. Connections from a mobile device will not be refunded.
Any correspondence presenting an anomaly (incomplete, illegible, insufficient postage) will not be considered. Only one request for reimbursement per participant registered to the Game and per envelope will be accepted (same name, same address).
2. Amount of reimbursement for Internet connection costs:
The potential cost of the Internet connection to find out the rules will be reimbursed (excluding connections from mobile devices), on the basis of a 2 minute connection, or the total sum of 0.20 euro inc. VAT (0.10 euro per minute).
No other connection cost will be refunded since, to participate in the Game, the customer has no other actions to take in addition to the purchase for which they visited the site, which generates no additional expense.
3. Amount of reimbursement for postage and photocopies of supporting documents:
Costs for the reimbursement or rules sending request will be reimbursed based on the rate in force in France for a letter of 20g. Photocopying expenses for any evidence to be provided will be reimbursed on the basis of 0.15 euro inc. VAT per sheet.
4. Reimbursement methods
Reimbursement will be done by cheque or bank transfer or postal stamps, at the choice of the Organiser, sent within 60 days of receipt of the request, after checking the validity of the request, including compliance of information contained in the reimbursement request letter with the information recorded on the order form on the site.
In addition, the Organiser will not be liable for any reimbursements if the participation was not in compliance with these rules, or if the request was not made in the manner and deadlines detailed above.
In addition, the Organiser has put in place the necessary technical means to demonstrate the participation or non-participation of a user via their order. It is therefore agreed that, absent any manifest error, the data in the IT systems of the Organiser have probative value as to the connection elements and information resulting from computer processing relating to the Game.
Article XI: Responsibilites
Participation implies knowledge and acceptance of the characteristics and limitations of the Internet, the lack of protection of certain data against possible misuse or piracy and risks of contamination by viruses circulating on the network.
The Organiser declines any direct or indirect responsibility for misuse or incidents related to the use of the computer, Internet access, maintenance or malfunction of the Game’s servers, telephone line or any other technical connection, sending forms to an incorrect or incomplete address.
More specifically, the Organiser can not be held responsible for any damage, material or immaterial, caused to participants, their computer equipment and the data stored therein, and the possible implications on their personal, professional or commercial activities.
It is up to each participant to take all appropriate measures to protect their own data and/or software stored on their computer equipment from any damage. The connection of any person to the site and players’ participation in the Game is done under their own complete responsibility. The Organiser can not be held responsible for fraudulent use of connection rights, or allocation of lots to a participant, except through the demonstration of the existence of gross negligence on the part of the Organiser. The Organiser reserves the right to disqualify any participant attempting to alter the course of the registration to the Game and to cancel, shorten, modify, postpone, extend or suspend the Game, in cases where the computer servers of the game present malfunctions resulting in particular from bugs, tampering, unauthorised intervention, fraud, technical failures or any other cause due to the actions of this participant and which could affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Game. In cases where the computer system assigns allocations unscheduled in these rules, the messages that might have informed participants of a win would be considered null and void.
The Organiser will make their best efforts to provide access to the Game. The Organiser may, at any time, including for technical reasons, updates, maintenance, interrupt access to the site and to the Game. The Organiser will in no way be responsible for these interruptions and their consequences. No compensation can be claimed as such for this.

In addition, the Organiser shall not be held responsible for malfunctions in the Internet, or delays, loss or damages arising from postal and management services.
Their responsibility shall in no case be engaged in cases of delivery problems or loss of postal or electronic mail (including in particular the delivery of allocations). In addition, any prizes unclaimed before May 31st, 2017 at 23:59 will be lost to the participant and will remain the property of the Organiser.

Prior to any legal action related to or in connection with these rules (particularly their application or interpretation), participants agree to put forward an amicable and gracious appeal to the Organiser.
Participants are subject to the French regulations applicable to Games and competitions. Any dispute that can not be settled amicably will be submitted to the competent courts, which depend on the registered office of the Organiser, unless legal orders request otherwise.
