If any price, market or bet type shown on our Platforms is clearly or obviously wrong (whether due to human error or a computer or technical fault), we may void any wagers placed at the incorrect price. Where possible, we will try to notify affected Account holders by email and/or telephone.
- 10.2. We have taken considerable care to operate our wagering business fairly, promptly and accurately. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all express and implied warranties relating to our wagering business and accept no liability for any direct, indirect or consequential loss, damage, expense or injury suffered by an Account holder. Any such claim is limited to the amount of the specific wager you placed.
- 10.3. We may, at our sole discretion, block access where our monitoring of traffic to and from our Platforms suggests automated or robotic activity.
- 10.4. Where a situation arises that these Terms and Conditions do not address, we may decide the matter at our sole and absolute discretion, and that decision is final and binding.
- 10.5. Where a wager is accepted and/or settled through our Platforms and any part of it is affected by these rules (including a maximum payout), we may resettle it under the relevant rule. This may include removing or reducing winnings, debiting winnings from your Account balance and/or voiding the wager. If this puts your Account into a negative balance, you agree to repay the shortfall as a debt that is immediately due and payable to us.
- 10.6. You must not hold, operate, access or use an Account with us through any automated, systematic, artificial, obscured or computerised method, including a VPN, proxy server, data extraction or scraping tool. We may, at our sole discretion, void any or all wagers made in breach of this clause.
