In particular Entrants are not permitted to reproduce an existing work. As such, the Entrant is personally responsible for acquiring the necessary authorisations from any third parties

having directly or indirectly participated in producing the work (and/or who may consider that they have a right to exercise) and will personally assume responsibility for any legal action arising from the pictures/works that he/she has distributed, and in particular for any request for financial compensation arising from them. In general, the Entrants hold the Organiser of this Competition harmless against any legal action or complaints that may be made, in any way whatsoever, by any third party, whilst exercising the rights assigned and, more generally, for all the guarantees given and commitments made. Each Entrant shall acknowledge to be the author of the pictures posted and agrees to abide by the rules relating to copyright and image rights. Each Entrant also agrees that the photograph(s) posted on the Instagram website respect public order and morality. Pictures of minors are not authorised and fall under the responsibility of their author, and this in order to ensure child protection. The only exception allowed will be for those members posting pictures of their own children. Pictures with content deemed to be of an advertising, promotional, commercial, illegal, shocking, defamatory, pornographic, racist or hateful nature, or which more widely infringe human or animal dignity are also excluded from the Competition. Therefore, the Organiser reserves the right, at its entire discretion, to moderate, after the event, and not to validate, or even to exclude from the Competition, any Entrant and/or any picture that does not abide by one of the conditions of these rules.

9 – CHECKS AND RESERVATIONS Any entry that does not comply with the provisions of these rules will not be taken into consideration. The Organiser reserves the right to suspend, postpone, extend or cancel the Competition without notice in the event of force majeure and this, after having provided information by any suitable means. Its liability will not be incurred on this account. The Organiser cannot be held liable for disruptions to the Internet or electricity network, incorrect use of the Internet, failure of reception equipment or any other incident relating to smooth operation of the Competition, and which could prevent the Internet user from entering by the deadline. The Organiser cannot be held liable for any loss, of any nature: further to poor functioning of the site, computer errors or the existence of viruses or other problems likely to cause damage, further to the occurrence of force majeure events (strike, bad weather, war, attack) fully or partially preventing the winner from benefiting from their prize, further

to any incident occurring to the winner whilst using their prize. Furthermore, the Organiser reserves the right to replace the prizes by other prizes of the same value, without the winner being able to seek its liability.

10 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Entering the Competition does not confer any right on the Entrants to the intellectual property content of the Organiser. Also, pursuant to the provisions of the French Intellectual Property Code, the reproduction, representation or use of all or part of the content (graphics, text, etc.) comprising this Competition, as well as any content of the @accorhotels Instagram profile, accessible in particular at the following URL: https://instagram.com/accorhotels , of the Organiser, are strictly forbidden.

11 – INFORMATION ON THE WINNER The Organiser reserves the right to post on its Instagram profile the name of the winner of the Competition along with their prize, which is expressly authorised by each Entrant and winner. By the sole fact of entering, the winner therefore authorises the Organiser to use and circulate his/her first name, last name and pseudonym used on Instagram, the town which he/she lives, as well as the date on which he/she won, without this use conferring rights or advantages other than the prize won. However, this option shall not be an obligation incumbent upon the Organiser.
