for themselves when connecting to the site and participating in the game. Furthermore, the company Michelin
is not responsible in the event of: - Telephone line problems, - Problems with hardware or software, -
Destruction of information provided by participants for reasons which are not attributable to Michelin, - Human
or electronic error, - Disruptions which may prevent the game from running properly or cause the automatic

inability to take a flight or to go to a foreign country as a result of irregularities in their documents (lack of visa,
lack of passport or expired passport, etc... ). Michelin reserves the right to interrupt the game under any
circumstances in the event that it is prevented from running properly due to administrative or technical
disruption for reasons beyond their control. Anyone engaging in fraud or not respecting the present rules may
be excluded from the game, and the company Michelin reserves the right to carry out legal proceedings
against them as necessary.

ARTICLE 11 - PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

for a maximum period of 6 months, after which it will be destroyed.

In accordance with the modified French law on IT and Freedom of the 6th of January 1978 (loi Informatique et
Libertés du 6 janvier 1978 modifiée) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of May 25, 2018,
participants in this Game have the right to access, rectify, contest, or delete data relating to them. These rights

The information provided is to be used by the organising company in order to run the game, and under no
circumstances by X (ex Twitter) services.

who exercise the right to delete data before the end of the challenge will be deemed to renounce their
participation

ARTICLE 12 - LITERARY AND ARTISTIC PROPERTY RIGHTS

participation in the Game, clearly underlined or highlighted by the participant. Given that, with current service
offers and technology, some internet service providers offer a free or flat rate connection to internet users, it is
expressly agreed that any access to the site on a free or fixed-rate basis (including acess such as cable,
