In all cases, Michelin reserves the right to extend, modify, shorten or cancel the competition

The Organiser will not be held responsible for the failure to contact a winner by e-mail due to
a reason beyond its control, in particular, due to a technical problem related to the Internet

In this case, the winner may not claim any compensation of any nature whatsoever.
Michelin will not be held liable for the inability of one or more participants to connect to the

any damage caused to computer equipment or the data stored on it or any economic loss

Events of force majeure include but are not limited to natural disasters, floods, strikes,
interrupted network service, technical breakdowns, power outages, connection difficulties,

Competition for which no purchase is necessary. These personal data are to be used by

in this Competition have the right to access, correct, delete or oppose the use of their
personal data. They may exercise these rights by writing to the following address: Michelin
Compétition – Adrien Perrier-Cussac – 36 rue du Clos Four – 63100 Clermont-Ferrand –
France.
Participants must share their personal data in order to participate in the Competition.
Consequently, participants who request the deletion of their personal data before the end of
the Competition will be deemed to have withdrawn their participation.
ARTICLE 12 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
In accordance with the laws governing literary, artistic and industrial property rights in
France, the reproduction, representation or use of all or part of any component of this
Competition is strictly prohibited. The brands named in connection with the Competition are
trademarks registered by their respective owners.
ARTICLE 13 - REIMBURSEMENT
The participant is responsible for any costs for which reimbursement is not expressly
provided for in this article.
Participants may request the reimbursement of the Internet connection costs incurred to
participate in the Competition. Only one reimbursement will be made per person and per
request during the entire period of the promotion.
To obtain reimbursement, the participant must make a written request:





No later than one month after the Competition end date;
Including the participant’s full address and bank account information required to
receive a payment by bank transfer;
Mailed to Michelin Compétition – Adrien Perrier-Cussac – 36 rue du Clos Four –
63100 Clermont-Ferrand – France;
Indicating the dates and times of connection;
With an enclosed copy of the detailed invoice from the telephone operator and/or
Internet service provider.
The amount of the reimbursement for participation costs is a flat rate representing a threeminute Internet connection, which is more than the time required to register, read the rules
and take note of the conditions regarding personal data protection and participating in the
Competition. No reimbursement is made if the participant’s Internet service provider includes
free telephone connections with its service.
The cost of the postage required to mail the request for reimbursement of connection costs is
also reimbursed, based on the second-class postage rate in force, which is €0.60 (tax
included) for a letter sent in France. For international mail, the amount of the reimbursement
for postage is €0.77 (tax included).
For a request from France, the total amount reimbursed is therefore €1.23 (tax included),
which includes connection costs of €0.21 (tax included) per minute for up to three minutes,
plus €0.60 postage (tax included).
Reimbursements will be made by cheque or by bank transfer, at the discretion of Michelin.
