If you are under the age of majority/adulthood in the country where you reside, we must receive the prior written consent of your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) (each, a “Parent”) as required by COPPA, the GDPR, and other applicable laws relating to the consent of minors and Parents before you can use the Service, participate in any Contest(s) under the supervision of your Parent(s), and before we can process any of your PII (as defined in our Privacy Policy).

Please also note that parental consent to participate in Contests will be required for children under the age of majority in their resident country. In particular, where the law of your country of residence requires that your Parent give or authorize consent for you to use the Service or participate in Contest(s), we will request that your Parent provide such consent through the methods we make available.

These Terms are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate these Terms at any time by (a) providing us with written notice that you wish to terminate and (b) permanently ceasing all use of the Service. If you visit the Site, or use the Service generally, thereafter, the Terms will apply again, as of that time.

In addition, your right to access and use the Service will terminate immediately where we reasonably determine that: (a) you have committed a material breach any of these Terms, or (b) you have a trustee, receiver or similar party appointed for your property, become insolvent, acknowledge your insolvency in any manner, make an assignment for the benefit of your creditors, or file a petition in bankruptcy; or (c) you initiate any legal actions in violation of these Terms, against any of LDF, and/or its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, attorneys and employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, paragraph (c) of this Section shall not apply to consumers domiciled or habitually resident in any jurisdiction where such provision would contravene applicable mandatory law, including, without limitation, relevant consumer protection laws. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as limiting or restricting the right of any consumer to initiate legal proceedings before the competent courts or consumer authorities to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation or restriction of your rights.

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes. All provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination shall survive, including, without limitation, Sections 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, and 17.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to protect our users from violators and violations of these Terms, including, but not limited to, restricting your use of the Services, restricting your ability to upload Submissions, immediately terminating your use of the Service, or terminating your use of the Service by blocking certain IP addresses from accessing the Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to suspend or terminate your access to the Service (including cancelling, or banning you from participating in, any Contest(s)), where reasonably necessary to protect the Service, other users, or LDF’s legitimate interests, and such right shall not be limited to violations of these rules of conduct.

If any provision of these Terms is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

No failure on the part of LDF to enforce any part of these Terms shall constitute a waiver of any of LDF’s rights under these terms, whether for part or future actions on the part of any person. Neither the receipt of any funds by LDF or the reliance of any person on LDF’s actions shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any part of these Terms. Only an express, specific, and written waiver signed by an authorized representative of LDF shall have any legal effect whatsoever.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy (https://lukadoncicfoundation.org/privacy-policy/), and any policies or operating rules posted by us on or with respect to our Service constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms), except that nothing in this clause shall limit any rights or protections granted to you under applicable mandatory law. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and terms specifically created in relation to a Contest, the terms of the Contest shall take precedence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a consumer domiciled or habitually resident in a jurisdiction where applicable law prohibits such choice of law and/or venue limitations: (a) the choice of law set forth in this Section shall not deprive you of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence; and (b) you shall retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your domicile in accordance with applicable law (including, but not limited to, Article 6(2) of the Rome I Regulation).

From time to time, LDF may change these Terms in its sole discretion. All such changes are effective upon the date we post them to the Site and apply to all access to and use of the Service thereafter. It is our policy to post any changes we make to these Terms on this page with a notice on the Site’s home page. If, however, we make material changes to these Terms, we will endeavor to notify you individually in advance indicating the nature of the change and when the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of the changes, where the user/participant has been duly notified, will constitute acceptance of the amended Terms..
