All transactions made on our site might be checked to prevent money laundering or terrorism financing activity. Suspicious transactions will be reported to the relevant authority depending on the jurisdiction governing the transaction.

Errors

In the event of an error or malfunction of our system or processes, all Predicts are rendered void. You are under an obligation to inform us immediately as soon as you become aware of any error with the service. In the event of communication or system errors or bugs or viruses occurring in connection with the service and/or payments made to you as a result of a defect or effort in the Service, we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any direct or indirect costs, expenses, losses or claims arising or resulting from such errors, and we reserve the right to void all games/Predicts in question and take any other action to correct such errors.

In the event of a casino system malfunction, or disconnection issues, all Predicts are rendered void. In the event of such error or any system failure or game error that results in an error in any odds calculation, charges, fees, rake, bonuses or payout, or any currency conversion as applicable, or other casino system malfunction (the “Casino Error”), we reserve the right to declare null and void any wagers or Predicts that were the subject of such Casino Error and to take any money from your Account relating to the relevant Predicts or wagers.

We make every effort to ensure that we do not make errors in posting lines. However, if as a result of human error or system problems a Predict is accepted at an odd that is: materially different from those available in the general market at the time the Predict was made; or clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the Predict was made then we reserve the right to cancel or void that wager, or to cancel or void a wager made after an event has started.

We have the right to recover from you any amount overpaid and to adjust your account to rectify any mistake. An example of such a mistake might be where a price is incorrect or where we enter a result of an event incorrectly. If there are insufficient funds in your Account, we may demand that you pay us the relevant outstanding amount relating to any erroneous Predicts or wagers. Accordingly, we reserve the right to cancel, reduce or delete any pending plays, whether placed with funds resulting from the error or not.

 

General Rules

If a sport-specific rule contradicts a general rule, then the general rule will not apply.

The winner of an event will be determined on the date of the event’s settlement; we do not recognise protested or overturned decisions for wagering purposes. The result of an event suspended after the start of competition will be decided according to the wagering rules specified for that sport by us.

All results posted shall be final after 72 hours and no queries will be entertained after that period of time. Within 72 hours after results are posted, the company will only reset/correct the results due to human error, system error or mistakes made by the referring results source.

Minimum and maximum wager amounts on all sporting events will be determined by us and are subject to change without prior written notice. We also reserve the right to adjust limits on individual Accounts as well.

Customers are solely responsible for their own account transactions. Please be sure to review your wagers for any mistakes before sending them in. Once a transaction is complete, it cannot be changed. We do not take responsibility for missing or duplicate wagers made by the Customer and will not entertain discrepancy requests because a play is missing or duplicated. Customers may review their transactions in the My Account section of the site after each session to ensure all requested wagers were accepted.

For a wager to have action on any named contestant in a Yes/No Proposition, the contestant must enter and compete in the event.

We attempt to follow the normal conventions to indicate home and away teams by indicating the home and away team by means of vertical placement on the desktop site version. This means in American Sports we would place the home team on the bottom. For Non-US sports, we would indicate the home team on top. In the case of a neutral venue, we attempt to include the letter “N” next to the team names to indicate this. For the Asian and mobile versions, we do not distinguish Predictween European and American Sports. On the Asian and mobile versions of the site, the home team is always listed first. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of this information and unless there is an official venue change subsequent to Predicts being placed, all wagers have action.

A game/match will have action regardless of the League heading that is associated with the matchup. For example, two teams from the same League are playing in a Cup competition. If the matchup is mistakenly placed in the League offering, the game/match will still have action, as long as the matchup is correct. In other words, a matchup will have action as long as the two teams are correct, and regardless of the League header in which it is placed on our Website.

If an event is not played on the same date as announced by the governing body, then all wagers on the event have no action. If an event is posted by us, with an incorrect date, all wagers have action based on the date announced by the governing body.

Diamondexch reserves the right to remove events, markets and any other product from the website.

Diamondexch eserves the right to restrict the casino access of any player without prior notice.

In all futures wagering (for example, total season wins, Super Bowl winner, etc.), the winner as determined by the Governing Body will also be declared the winner for Account purposes except when the minimum number of games required for the future to have “action” has not been completed.

Communications and Notices

All communications and notices to be given under these terms by you to us shall be sent to [email protected]

All communications and notices to be given under these terms by us to you shall, unless otherwise specified in these terms, be either posted on the Website and/or sent to the Registered Email Address we hold on our system for the relevant Customer. The method of such communication shall be in our sole and exclusive discretion.

All communications and notices to be given under these terms by either you or us shall be in writing in the English language when the service is not operated by Diamondexch, and must be given to and from the Registered Email Address in your Account.

Matters Beyond Our Control

We cannot be held liable for any failure or delay in providing the service due to an event of Force Majeure which could reasonably be considered to be outside our control despite our execution of reasonable preventative measures such as: an act of God; trade or labour dispute; power cut; act, failure or omission of any government or authority; obstruction or failure of telecommunication services; or any other delay or failure caused by a third party, and we will not be liable for any resulting loss or damage that you may suffer. In such an event, we reserve the right to cancel or suspend the Service without incurring any liability.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT COMPENSATE YOU FOR ANY REASONABLY FORESEEABLE LOSS OR DAMAGE (EITHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT) YOU MAY SUFFER IF WE FAIL TO CARRY OUT OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS UNLESS WE BREACH ANY DUTIES IMPOSED ON US BY LAW (INCLUDING IF WE CAUSE DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY BY OUR NEGLIGENCE) IN WHICH CASE WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU IF THAT FAILURE IS ATTRIBUTED TO

(I) YOUR OWN FAULT;

(II) A THIRD PARTY UNCONNECTED WITH OUR PERFORMANCE OF THESE TERMS (FOR INSTANCE PROBLEMS DUE TO COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK PERFORMANCE, CONGESTION, AND CONNECTIVITY OR THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT); OR

(III) ANY OTHER EVENTS WHICH NEITHER WE NOR OUR SUPPLIERS COULD HAVE FORESEEN OR FORESTALLED EVEN IF WE OR THEY HAD TAKEN REASONABLE CARE. AS THIS SERVICE IS FOR CONSUMER USE ONLY WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY BUSINESS LOSSES OF ANY KIND.

IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY EVENT UNDER THESE TERMS, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED

(A) THE VALUE OF THE PredictS AND OR WAGERS YOU PLACED VIA YOUR ACCOUNT IN RESPECT OF THE RELEVANT Predict/WAGER OR PRODUCT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE RELEVANT LIABILITY, OR

(B) EURO €500 IN AGGREGATE, WHICHEVER IS LOWER.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU (I) TAKE CARE TO VERIFY THE SUITABILITY AND COMPATIBILITY OF THE SERVICE WITH YOUR OWN COMPUTER EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO USE; AND

(II) TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST HARMFUL PROGRAMS OR DEVICES INCLUDING THROUGH INSTALLATION OF ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE.

Gambling By Those Under Age

If we suspect that you are or receive notification that you are currently under 18 years or were under 18 years (or below the age of majority as stipulated in the laws of the jurisdiction applicable to you) when you placed any Predicts through the service your account will be suspended to prevent you placing any further Predicts or making any withdrawals from your account. We will then investigate the matter, including whether you have been Account as an agent for, or otherwise on behalf, of a person under 18 years (or below the age of majority as stipulated in the laws of the jurisdiction applicable to you). If having found that you: (a) are currently; (b) were under 18 years or below the majority age which applies to you at the relevant time; or © have been Account as an agent for or at the behest of a person under 18 years or below the majority age which applies:

This condition also applies to you if you are over the age of 18 years but you are placing your Predicts within a jurisdiction which specifies a higher age than 18 years for legal Account and you are below that legal minimum age in that jurisdiction.

In the event we suspect you are in breach of the provisions of this Clause 15 or are attempting to rely on them for a fraudulent purpose, we reserve the right to take any action necessary in order to investigate the matter, including informing the relevant law enforcement agencies.
