Alternatively, Participants may enter up to a maximum of three lines per week in each four-week subscription cycle (e.g. €5 x 4 = €20). Participants holding an active subscription may also enter an additional three lines (maximum) on a once off basis for any Fundraising Draw.

If you cancel your subscription, no further funds will be taken from you. All subscription funds received prior to receipt of your cancellation are non-refundable and your lines will be included in any future Fundraising Draws until the subscription funds received prior to receipt of your cancellation have been used.

      2. You are not depositing monies originating from criminal and/or other un-authorised activities;
      3. You will maintain the confidentiality of your user account details;
      4. No charge backs will be made relating to your account without our consent; and
      5. You will comply with these Terms and Conditions.

In the event of any breach of the foregoing occurring, you agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless against any costs, claims, damages and expenses arising in connection therewith and to refund and compensate us for any losses we would otherwise incur arising from such actions including any expenses incurred by us in the process of recovering such amounts.
