ARTICLE 2 – PARTICIPANTS 2.1 The Competition is open to all residents of Great Britain, aged 16 or over who have a Twitter account. No purchase is necessary to enter the Competition. 2.2 Participants authorise the Organising Company to perform all necessary checks on the information they provide when registering on the Deezer website. Should any of this information be found to be incorrect or untrue, the participant will be disqualified. Only one entry per person (same family name, given name, IP (Internet Protocol) address and same email address) is allowed for the duration of the Competition.

This clause specifically provides for the disqualification of anyone attempting, by any means whatsoever, to modify the system for entering the Competition, and specifically to alter the outcome. Anyone attempting to enter the Competition using systems such as automated competition entry tools or software created for automated competition entry, or by using information, email addresses or customer numbers other than those corresponding to their own identity and address, or, more generally, using any method which does not respect the principle of all participants having equal chances of winning the Competition, will be disqualified, automatically and permanently. 2.3 This Competition is not open to anyone directly or indirectly involved in devising it, or to staff of the Organising Company or their families. 2.4 Any entry which is incomplete or illegible, which bears incorrect contact details, which is received before the Competition opening time as indicated in Article 3.1 below or after the Competition closing time as indicated in Article 3.1 below will be considered ineligible.

ARTICLE 12 – DISPUTES AND COMPLAINTS 12.1 Any dispute relating to the Competition or the interpretation of the Competition Rules will be handled in accordance with French law. Participants agree to make an out of court application for an ex gratia settlement to the Organising Company before instigating any legal action linked with or relating to the Competition and the Rules thereof (and their application or interpretation in particular). Should one of the clauses of these Rules be declared null and void, the validity of the Rules as a whole will not be affected and the remaining clauses will retain their full force and scope. 12.2 The Organising Company may cancel all or part of this Competition, should it become apparent that any form of fraud has occurred in Competition entries or in selecting the Winner. In such a case, the Organising Company reserves the right not to award prizes to those involved in fraud and/or to prosecute those responsible for this fraud in the relevant courts of law. No answers will be provided to questions received in writing or by telephone concerning the interpretation or application of these Rules, the way the Competition works or the way the Winner is selected. 12.3 Except in cases of obvious error, it is agreed that information from the Organising Company's competition management system will be taken as conclusive evidence in the event of any disputes relating to connections or the processing of information relating to the Competition. 12.4 The cost of participating in the Competition, based on a two-minute Internet connection at off- peak rates, will be reimbursed. Requests should be sent by standard mail within two months of the closure of the Competition (date as per postmark) to the Organising Company, whose address can be found in Article 8. Please note that this provision does not cover subscriptions to the Deezer Premium or Deezer Premium+ services. Applicants should indicate their family name, given name and postal and email addresses, and the name of the Competition entered, along with the date and time of connection, and the Internet service provider used. Applicants must also include a copy of an itemised bill for the relevant period from their telecoms supplier or Internet service provider, in their own name (or in their parents' names if the Competition is open to those under 18), proof of address and their bank details. Only one request for reimbursement, from one participant only, should be included (one request for reimbursement per envelope). Only one request for reimbursement will be accepted per entry and per person (same family name and postal address). If applicable, the cost of the stamp required to post the reimbursement request will be reimbursed by the Organising Company, at the current second class postage rate, if this is requested in the application for the reimbursement of connection charges. The cost of photocopying the required documents will be reimbursed at €0.15 per page, provided that this is also requested in the application for the reimbursement of connection charges. Reimbursements will be made by bank transfer, within 60 days of receipt of the request, after the request has been validated. In particular, the information in the reimbursement request letter will be checked against the information provided upon subscription to Deezer. Incomplete or illegible requests will be disregarded.
- 5. Given current technology and the fact that some Internet service providers offer free or set-price Internet connections, it is expressly stipulated that no reimbursement will be made for connections to the website which are made free of charge or under a set-price agreement (such as Internet connections via cable, ADSL or dedicated lines). In such cases, the subscriber pays a flat fee covering all Internet usage in general, and does not incur any additional cost or expenditure by participating in the Competition. 12.5 These Rules have been registered with the professional non-trading company Jean-Daniel Lachkar, Franck Gouguet and Sylvain Thomazon, Partnership of Judicial Officers, 156 rue Montmartre, 75002 PARIS, France.
