French term or phrase: sans que cette autorisation puisse ouvrir d’autres droits que la remise du lot g
The whole sentence is:
Les participants, s’ils sont gagnants, autorisent XXX à utiliser à titre publicitaire en tant que tel, leurs noms, adresses postales, e-mails ou autres et photographies sans que cette autorisation puisse ouvrir d’autres droits que la remise du lot gagné.

the authorisation does not give the winners rights to anything that may ensue


Explanation:
My understanding is that the winners are not entitled to anything that may ensue after their names, etc. are used for advertising purposes. Their only "right" is to the lot they win (lucky blokes!).
