Boylesports accept no liability in relation to any delays related to the processing of withdrawals from your Account.
7.12 We reserve the right to reclaim from you any incorrectly transferred monies relating to incorrect settlement of Bets or to incorrect payments and by accepting these Terms you authorise Boylesports to withdraw such monies directly from your account into which the monies have been paid, to cancel cheques that you may have received or to direct that your Card be debited to the amount paid over.

You agree to repay any monies paid to you in error immediately upon a demand from us. If we have not received payment within five days after the demand date from you, and without prejudice to any other our rights or remedies, interest shall accrue on such due amounts at the rate of 2% over the base lending rate of our bankers in Ireland from time to time, commencing on the due date and continuing until fully paid, whether before or after the judgment.
7.14 You agree not to make any charge-backs, reversals or otherwise cancel any deposits into your Account, and in any such event to immediately refund and compensate us for such unpaid deposits including any expenses incurred by us in the process of collecting your deposit. Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that we may have we may suspend any activity on your Account, including the payment to you of any requested withdrawal, until such deposits and expenses are paid in full without any liability to you.
7.15 Your Account is not a bank account and is therefore not insured, guaranteed, sponsored or otherwise protected by any deposit or banking insurance system or by any other similar insurance system. Any monies deposited with us in your Account shall not attract any interest. Monies deposited with us are held under a normal bank account in the name of the appropriate company and are not subject to special trust or fiduciary arrangements.

10.1.1 when a Bet is placed by you via the Website on a market offered before an event has started we will settle the Bet at the correct price or terms available with Boylesports as if the mistake had not been made and we shall decide what that price or those terms for your Bet would have been; or
10.1.2 we reserve the right to correct any mistake made on a Bet placed in one of our "live betting" markets and settle at the correct price or terms at the time the Bet was struck as if the mistake had not been made and we shall decide what that price or those terms for your Bet would have been; or
10.1.3 we reserve the right to decide that the Bet is null and void and to refund the stake amount of your Bet to you via your Account.
11.1 We reserve the right to refuse payment on any Bet that we are unable to substantiate on our security records. We reserve the right to make void any Bet that we believe is not bona fide or which breaches any of our rules, or those of any sports governing body.

In circumstances where a Bet is deemed to be or is declared void by us at our discretion, any sum deducted from your Account with respect to that Bet shall be credited to your Account. Bets shall only be valid if accepted by our server and Bets will be subject to this Agreement. Until acceptance, no communications from you shall be binding on us and all information displayed on this site constitutes an invitation to Bet or avail of the Services only. Should we determine to waive a rule in the interest of fair play to you, it shall only be for that instant and shall not set a precedent for the future.

11.4 We shall not be liable to you for any failure in a Bet being placed for any reason including, but not limited to, computer malfunctions, failure of telecommunications services or internet connections and failure of electrical power or environmental control systems.
11.5 If you suspect a person is cheating or colluding or undertaking a fraudulent activity you should contact our Customer Services Team and we will do our best to investigate the matter. However, we shall not be obliged to take any action in the case of any suspicion of collusion, cheating or fraudulent activity. We reserve the right to terminate the Account of any user suspected of collusive behaviour or undertaking a fraudulent activity. We will not be liable for any loss caused as a result of collusive, fraudulent or otherwise unlawful behaviour. In the case of suspected fraudulent payment, including use of stolen credit or debit cards, or any other fraudulent activity (including any charge-back or other reversal of a payment), we reserve the right to terminate your Account, reverse any pay-out made and recover any winnings. We shall be entitled to inform any relevant authorities or entities (including credit reference agencies) of any payment fraud or otherwise unlawful activity, and we may employ collection services to recover payments.
12.1 With the exception of Betting In Running events (see Boylesports Betting Rules relating to "Betting In Running" for definitions); Bets are accepted up to the off-time of the event or a pre-determined time, whichever the earlier.
12.2 For some sporting events available on the Website we may, in our discretion, allow a grace period during which Bets will be accepted by us but even where we do this we reserve the right to void any or all Bets at any time (including after the event) should we think there has been a significant development in the event before the Bet was accepted. Without prejudice to the generality of the previous sentence, Boylesports reserves the right to determine that any Bet is null and void where we have accepted the Bet after the betting has closed, where the event was resolved or at a stage where you could have had any indication of the likely outcome of the event. We reserve the right to determine that any Bet or Bets is/are null and void where it/they is/are made by any group of people acting in liaison in an attempt to defraud us.
12.3 If, for any reason, a Bet is inadvertently accepted after the event or match has started and the event in question is covered by our live betting in running service (if this is the case then it will be marked as 'Live Betting') we have the option to apply the appropriate price on the relevant selection and accept the Bet or to determine that the Bet will be void.
12.4 In the event of there being a dispute over the time at which a Bet was placed by you then the time at which it was recorded by us on our transactional log will govern settlement.
13.1 You agree that we may, with or without cause, immediately terminate your Account, this Agreement and/or access to the Website and Services without prior notice at our sole discretion.
