Palpable Errors
- While
every effort is made to ensure there are no errors or omissions in respect
of our products and services, the nature of human error or system problems
means such circumstances may arise. A non-exhaustive list of “obvious
errors” is outlined below:
- Odds
or terms of a bet or game wager have been misquoted as a result of human
error (for example, information being inputted incorrectly, or markets
being set up incorrectly) or due to computer malfunction;
- A
bet is accepted at a price or market condition which is significantly
different from those available in the market at the time the bet was
placed;
- In
the context of normal betting business, and the probability of the event
occurring, a bet is accepted at a price which is obviously incorrect;
- Bets
have continued to be accepted on a market which should have been
suspended, or the market has already closed, or has been postponed, which
are sometimes referred to as “late bets”;
- The
amount of winnings, returns or promotional benefits or bonuses paid to you
are miscalculated as a result of human error or computer malfunction;
- Where
winnings are so obviously incorrect or materially different to those
available in the market that this is a clear error or omission e.g., the
price is recorded as 100-1 or the margins for handicap betting have been
reversed;
- An
error has resulted from Prohibited Acts;
- In
accordance with product rules, where a bet should not have been accepted,
and If such circumstances arise, we reserve the right (and at our sole
discretion) to cancel the bet and either:
- Correct
the error on the bet placed and resettle the bet at the correct price or
terms which were (or should have been) available to Us when the bet was
placed; or;
- Declare
the bet void and return the stake to Your account where correction is not
reasonably practicable.; and
- Take
any further reasonable steps and actions deemed necessary by Kwikbet to
remedy the error, loss, or damages that Kwikbet stands to suffer as a
result of an error leading to an incorrectly accepted bet.
If funds are incorrectly credited to your account as a
result of an error or omission (or otherwise any sum is incorrectly credited to
your account):
- You
are obligated to notify us as soon as reasonably possible and in any event
in no more than four (4) days;
- We
reserve the right to deduct or reverse any incorrectly applied funds from
your account. Where such funds have been withdrawn by You, We may demand
that you make a full refund to Us and may take other recovery measures
such as automatically debiting Your account whenever it has a positive
balance.
If you use incorrectly credited funds to place bets, we
reserve the right to void all such related bets and reverse any winnings.
If incorrect stakes are deducted from your account:
- You
are obliged to notify us as soon as reasonably possible and in any event
in no more than four (4) days;
- We
reserve the right to void all such bets and reverse any winnings;
- If
bets are placed using winnings related to bet(s) on which incorrect stakes
were deducted, we reserve the right to void such bets placed and reverse
any winnings.
In respect of any reversals, if no such funds are available
in your account to make good any funds deficit resulting from the reversal (for
example, where the funds have been withdrawn by you), we reserve the right to
recover such funds from you (with interest at market rates) on demand. If
necessary, we are permitted to off-set any subsequent amounts you deposit or
win with us to make good this liability.
