No compensation will be paid with respect to the use of entries. For this purpose, by participating you warrant that you have all rights to the entry

None of the prizes will be substituted for cash or for any other prize, except that if the Nokia phone selected by the winner is not available in the country of residence of the winner, it will be replaced by another available Nokia phone.
