Data Protection 41 All personal data provided by a participant to the promoter in connection with a competition entry will be used by the promoter, its employees, suppliers, contractors and agents to process the competition, to inform winning participants of their winning entry and to distribute prizes. A participant�s personal data, including any messages, video footage or photographs may also be provided to the police, law enforcement agencies or other regulatory bodies as part of any police, compliance, complaint or other investigation. Telephone calls may be recorded solely for the purposes of ensuring that entries are correctly evidenced and for staff training purposes. 42 All personal data provided by participants will be processed by N &S in accordance with N & S�s Privacy Policy set out at the following hyper-link: www.express.co.uk/show/privacy. N & S reserves the right to use participants� personal data to inform them of future promotions. If participants do not wish for their personal data to be used for this purpose then they must �opt out�
43 Limitation of Liability 44 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the promoter accepts no liability for any loss or damage of any nature whatsoever and howsoever arising out of or in connection with a participant�s entry into the competition (including the use of any prize) and the promoter�s use of the entry whether due to inaccuracy, error, omission or any other cause and whether on the part of the promoter (or its servants, agents or any other person or entity). 45 If the promoter is liable to a participant for any reason (other than death or personal injury arising from the promoter�s negligence), the promoter�s liability will be limited to £100. Notwithstanding any other provision of these rules, the promoter does not attempt to exclude or limit its liability for death or personal injury resulting from its negligence in any way. 46 To the fullest extent permissible by law, the promoter does not make any express or implied warranties, representations or endorsements whatsoever with regard to the competition prizes or any information, service or product provided in connection with a competition. Participants from outside the United Kingdom Unless otherwise stated, all competitions in the publications are controlled and operated by the promoter from its offices in the United Kingdom. Players who enter a competition from outside the United Kingdom do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws. If participation in a competition or the supply or use of a competition prize are contrary to or infringe any applicable law in a participant�s jurisdiction(s), the participant is not authorised to enter the competition. General Provisions 47 If any provision or term of these rules shall become or be declared illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such term or provision shall be divisible from the rest of the rules and shall be deemed to be deleted from them. 48 Any failure or delay by the promoter in enforcing an obligation or exercising a right, under these rules, does not amount to a waiver of that obligation or right or any other obligation or right. 49 The participant acknowledges that he or she has not agreed to these rules in reliance on any statement or representation, except in so far as the representation has been incorporated into these rules. The participant irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right the participant may have to claim damages and/or to rescind these terms and conditions by reason of any misrepresentation (other than a fraudulent misrepresentation) not contained in these terms and conditions. 50 These rules and all competitions included in the publications are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and the English Courts will have exclusive jurisdiction to determine any proceedings in connection with this competition.
