TERMS AND CONDITIONS - Syndicate

1. Introduction
   1. The services provided on this Website or through any third party application offer you the opportunity of participating in a syndicate with regards to lottery ticket(s) (the "Syndicate"), where such lottery ticket(s) (the "Lottery Ticket(s)") are made available by lottery operators (the "Lottery Operators") to persons who are located and resident of the UK in accordance with applicable law (the "Syndicate Services").
   2. By using and/or visiting this section (including sub-domains) of the www.jackpot.com website which runs the Syndicate Services you agree to be bound by (i) these Terms and Conditions; (ii) our Privacy Policy uk.jackpot.com/privacy-policy; (iii) the Rules applicable to our Syndicate Services and are deemed to have accepted and understood all the Terms and Conditions. Please ensure you know which of the services we provide you would like to access. We have made clear distinctions throughout the website between the services we offer for placing bets on the outcome of lotteries and participating in instant win games (the "Services") and the lottery syndicates we provide. In the former you will contract with us Lottomatrix Operations Ltd. in its capacity as a licenced gambling operator, which is a regulated activity. In the latter you will contract with our company as the Syndicate Manager. The Company will then delegate responsibility to someone in the UK who will buy the tickets on the Syndicate’s behalf (“the Syndicate Local Agent”). You will not own or buy lottery tickets, the Syndicate Manager arranges this. You have a contract with the Syndicate Manager (us) that if the Syndicate Local Agent has bought a winning ticket in your syndicate in the day or month when you are participating then you will participate in those winnings along with other syndicate members, subject to these Terms and Conditions. Please note that you do not contract with the Syndicate Local Agent; he or she contracts with us and acts as our agent. Please take the time to decide which product you would like to purchase. Separate terms and conditions for the Services are available on the relevant webpages where those services are offered, or by visiting Terms and Conditions

If you and the Company are not able to agree on a choice of the Arbitrator within 15 days of one party demanding arbitration, then the ICC shall make the appointment of an Arbitrator who is neutral to the parties.
