    6. As a licensed operator we are required to conduct a number of checks (on-going due diligence) during the whole time that you have an Account with us relating to our licence and other regulatory obligations. In order to be able to complete these checks, at any time we may request that you provide us with personal documents and/or information relating to your payment method(s) and/ or your personal and/or financial circumstances. We will try to request this information as soon as it becomes necessary to do so and until we receive the requested documents and satisfy these checks to our reasonable satisfaction, we will limit your ability to deposit or withdraw your funds.

    2. In the case of insolvency, these funds would not be protected.
    3. The amount of cleared funds you have available will be held in your Account and displayed when you log in to your Account. You consent to us enabling the provision of such information to you on the Website.

    Closing Your Account

    1. If you wish to close your Account, you may do so at any time by clicking "close my account" in the profile section of your Account. Alternatively, you can request the closure by contacting our customer support team. In the event that you contact our customer support team to close your Account, we accept no responsibility for any losses that occurred between the time of your request and the closure of your Account. We will make reasonable efforts to close your Account as quickly as possible after receiving your request, however, you’re aware that closing your Account yourself will be immediate.
    2. Except where these Terms permit us to withhold payment, any funds in the Account will be remitted to you upon closure, save that if the funds in the Account are £1 or less we will retain such amount due to the payment processing fees that we incur; unless you contact our customer support team to specifically request their return.
    3. If you close your Account and decide to return to MrQ at a later date, you agree that you will re-open your original Account instead of creating a new Account (please see section 6.30 for how to re-open a closed Account). Any new Accounts you create will be classed as a Duplicate Account and closed in line with our Terms outlined in section 6.2.
    4. You may request to reopen your closed Account at any time by contacting customer support (see here for how to contact them). All reopen requests are subjected to a review and we will decline your reopen request if we have safer gambling concerns or if you have otherwise breached these Terms. Accounts that have been closed due to a self-exclusion or time-out period cannot be reopened until the exclusion or time-out period has ended.

    1. You will not be able to make a deposit until your age has been verified.
    2. We do not charge fees for processing deposits.
    3. We offer several different methods for making a deposit or a withdrawal from an Account.

    5. You agree that all payment methods used by you in connection with your Account belong to you and are in your name, and that all money deposited is your personal money and not money that relates to another person, business or other source, or provided to you by a third party (including but not limited to money from a loan, family member, associate or any other source). If you breach this Term we will take the actions outlined in section 12.
    6. You may be able to register several different payment methods via your Account at any one time, however, to protect our customers against fraud, and to ensure we meet our regulatory obligations, we reserve the right to request proof of ownership (verification) of any payment method registered with us at any time.
    7. If you are depositing money without the intention of wagering the funds we will restrict the payment methods available to you and/or suspend your Account (as outlined in section 12.).

    Withdrawals

    1. You may withdraw up to the full amount of your own real money deposits and winnings held in your Account at any time provided that:
      1. all payments made into your Account have been confirmed as cleared and have not been charged-back, reversed or otherwise cancelled;
      2. we have completed any verification to our reasonable satisfaction (see Section 6 above). Where we have requested information from you to carry out these checks, any delay in providing this information may cause an additional delay when withdrawing funds; and
      3. there is currently no ongoing investigation:
        1. into a Game defect involving a game which you have played which requires a temporary freeze on withdrawal of funds; or
        2. where we have reasonable grounds to believe you may have engaged in an illegal activity or Prohibited Activity (as defined in Section 12.1.2 below) which could entitle us to withhold funds in accordance with Section 12.1 below.
    2. Available withdrawal methods are clearly stated in our Help and FAQ centre.
    3. Whenever possible, MrQ will pay your withdrawals using the same method you used to make your deposits. Withdrawal payments may only be made in the name of and to the registered Account holder. If the method used to deposit does not accept withdrawals, we may require proof of ownership to confirm the alternative method belongs to you.
    4. Details about the timings for withdrawals in respect to the payment method used are available in our Help and FAQ centre, and these may be amended from time to time.
    5. Please be advised that our products are consumed instantly during gameplay. Thus, we cannot provide refunds, returns of monies, or cancellation of the requested product when playing. If you play a Game with real money, the money will be drawn from your Account instantly.
    6. We do not charge fees for processing withdrawals.
    7. Please be advised that we are unable to make any payments by cheque, postal order, or money orders (such as Western Union).
    8. Where we are unable to facilitate a withdrawal using the existing payment methods offered, we may, at our discretion, do so via international bank wire transfer or similar. In such cases an administration charge (or currency equivalent) may be levied and we will not be liable for any additional administration charges (including but not limited to foreign exchange charges) incurred as a direct result of such payment.
    9. MrQ utilises Hyperwallet payment services, a PayPal service, to deliver payments to you. Such payment services are subject to the Hyperwallet Terms Of Service and the Hyperwallet Privacy Policy.

    Chargebacks

    1. It is a breach of our Terms to raise a chargeback (sections 7.8.1. and 12.4.2.). If we receive a notification of a chargeback we will suspend your Account whilst we investigate. We may decide to take legal proceedings to recover the funds you have raised a chargeback for and you agree to compensate us for any expenses incurred as a result of the chargeback or the process of recovering such amounts.
    2. Chargebacks should only be raised for legitimate reasons. Even in the case that a chargeback has ruled in our favour, we may refuse to reopen your Account, void all transactions on your Account and freeze the funds that are held in your Account.
  8. 8. Playing for Fun vs Playing for Real Money

    1. From time to time, you may be offered the chance to play the Games for 'fun'. If you play for fun you may do so in the "free play" or "play for fun" area only. No real monetary bet is necessary or required to play and there is no real monetary win. There is no cost to you except any cost you may incur to access the internet, charged by your internet service provider or telecommunications provider or any other third party.
    2. If you play for real money, you acknowledge that a real monetary bet is needed and that you may win or lose real money. You are reminded that you accept full responsibility for any losses that you may incur.
    3. It is your responsibility to note the payout rate or odds that apply to each Game before you place a stake.
    4. Where you start a Game, you must complete it within ninety (90) days. Failure to do so may result in both the stake and any winnings being forfeit.
  9. 9. Errors and Interruption

    1. If we mistakenly credit your Account with winnings that do not belong to you, whether this is due to a technical or human error or otherwise, the amount will remain property of MrQ and the amount will be transferred back to us from your Account. We reserve the right to void any transactions placed using incorrectly/mistakenly credited funds, including related winnings paid out in error. To satisfy any such liability, we further reserve the right to freeze and withhold these funds and set-off any subsequent winnings owed to you. If prior to MrQ becoming aware of the error you have withdrawn funds that do not belong to you, without prejudice to other remedies and actions that may be available to us at law, the mistakenly paid amount will constitute a debt owed by you to MrQ. In the event of an incorrect crediting, you are obliged to notify us immediately by email at: [email protected].
    2. Although we will take all reasonable measures to ensure that the Website and Games are free from computer viruses we cannot and do not guarantee that the Website and Games are free of such problems. It is your responsibility to protect your systems and have in place the ability to reinstall any data or programs lost due to a virus.
    3. If gaming is interrupted (e.g. where your internet connection is disconnected) after you have successfully placed a bet or wager, the random number generator will continue to determine the result of your bet or wager on the relevant Game and will process the transaction as would have occurred had the interruption not occurred (e.g. had your internet connection been live).
    4. You'll be able to access details of the bet that was determined when your play was interrupted by viewing your betting history.
    5. You may not abuse or take advantage of any error or instance of incompleteness on the Website or in any of the Games provided by us. Should you become aware of such an error or incompleteness, please notify us immediately. If you do not comply with this Section and take advantage of or divulge any information about an error or incompleteness, MrQ will be entitled to pursue any remedies available at law. If we believe that you have exploited any errors or issues for monetary gain instead of notifying us, we will take the actions outlined in section 12.

    Computer transmissions and random number generator software

    1. You fully accept that the Website and Games and your interaction with them are dependent on the satisfactory operation of computer systems and networks, including communications media, and that such operation may be subject to disruption which is beyond our control.
    2. You accept that all instructions and responses are sent between you and us and/or third parties over the Internet or by other connecting media over which neither you nor we have control. We do not accept any risk of malfunction or inadequacy of the connecting media.
    3. Our records will be conclusive evidence as to all transactions made with us both in relation to their nature and value.
    4. You fully accept and agree that the random number generator software will determine the outcome of bets or wagers on the relevant Game (except any peer to peer games) and that the records of such software will be final and conclusive in all respects.
    5. Any software supplied to you or downloaded by you to enable or facilitate connection with a Game is regarded as your input software and all information delivered by it will be binding on you.
    6. If, due to visual or device malfunction, there is a discrepancy between your understanding of the outcome and the actual outcome (for example, due to visual or device malfunction) then the correct outcome will be the result published by our game server.
  10. 10. Anti-Money Laundering

    1. All transactions will be monitored in order to prevent money laundering. We will report any suspicious transactions to the relevant authorities. In accordance with our anti-money laundering obligations, we reserve the right – acting reasonably – to raise queries or require documentation related to the source of deposited funds. If the requested information and/or documentation is not provided or is not considered by us (acting reasonably) as satisfactory, we may suspend/terminate your Account, withhold payment of any money held in your Account, and pass on any necessary information to the relevant authorities. In particular but without limitation, we reserve the right to void any bets and withhold any winnings where we have reason to believe bets have been placed using third party funds.
  11. 11. Dormant and inactive customer accounts

    1. If you have not logged into your Account or otherwise contacted us for thirty consecutive months, your Account will be deemed to be inactive and suspended for security reasons ("Inactive Account").
    2. We will notify you via email no less than one month prior to your Account becoming an Inactive Account. This email will also advise you of the administration fee in Term 11.6. to be charged upon your Account becoming inactive.
    3. You may prevent your Account and the date from which such charge shall be made upon your Account becoming inactive by logging in within thirty months of your last login.
    4. You may reactivate an Inactive Account by contacting our customer support team at [email protected]. If you create a new Account instead of reactivating your old Account this will be classed as a Duplicate Account and the actions taken are outlined in section 6.2.
    5. Once your Account becomes Inactive, MrQ will attempt to return any outstanding real money balance to your primary payment method.
    6. If we are unable to return the funds to your primary payment method we will charge £5 per month as an administrative fee to your account. We will notify you via email thirty days prior to this occurring.
    7. If, after your Account has become an Inactive Account, you access your Account, we will reimburse the fees charged upon request. You can make this request via our customer support team at [email protected].
  12. 12. Suspension/Termination of your Account

    1. We are entitled to close your Account at any time and do not need to give you prior notice. Any balance in your Account at the time of such closure or any closure under Section 12.2 below will be paid back to you, except that:
      1. if you have engaged in illegal activity, MrQ is under no obligation to refund to you any money that may be in your Account; and
      2. if we discover or have reasonable grounds to believe that you have participated in any of the activities listed in Section 12.4 below (each a "Prohibited Activity") then we will withhold all or part of the balance and/or recover from your Account deposits, payouts, bonuses, and/or any winnings that are attributable to those Prohibited Activities.
    2. We will suspend your Account where we have reason to believe that you have engaged or are likely to engage in any Prohibited Activity and your Account will remain suspended while the matter is investigated. Should our investigation result in our reasonable determination that you have engaged in any Prohibited Activity, we will restrict or permanently close your Account. In such circumstances, your details may be passed on to any applicable regulatory authority, regulatory body or any other relevant external third parties.
    3. Your funds cannot be accessed or withdrawn during periods of suspension, and any balance will remain in the Account.

      2. if we have received a "chargeback" and/or a "return" notification via a deposit mechanism used on your Account (the Terms in Sections 7.16 and 7.17. also apply);

    4. We encourage our Account Holders to make use of a variety of safer gambling features so as to better manage their Account and their gambling habits. These features are briefly explained in this Section 13 and full details can be found on our Safer Gambling page. We'll take all reasonable precautions to make sure any limits you set are honoured but we're not liable to you if you bypass our procedures by deliberate manipulation of our systems and processes.
    5. You may see advertisements of our site and other gambling sites on your social media. If you would like to limit your exposure to gambling adverts you see on social media by following the guidance provided here.
    6. When you first deposit with us you'll be asked to set a daily, weekly or monthly player deposit limit on your Account. You can set a daily, weekly or monthly player deposit limit on your Account at any time if you decide not to do it at first deposit, by going to the Play Safely section of your Account.
    7. We recommend that you do so to keep track of how much you spend with us.
    8. More details can be found on our Safer Gambling page.
    9. You can also set up a "reality check" on your Account, which is a timer you can set to remind yourself how long you've been playing for. More details can be found on our Safer Gambling page.
    10. You may opt to set a "Time-Out" period on your Account. Your Time-Out can last for:
      1. twenty four (24) hours;
      2. one (1) week;
      3. one (1) month; or
      4. any other period requested by you, up to a maximum of six (6) weeks.
    11. More details regarding a Time-Out can be found here.
    12. If you wish to reopen your Account once your Time-Out period has finished you can do so by logging in to your Account.
    13. If you feel that you are becoming dependent on gambling, you should consider limiting your access to your Account. We have measures in place to ensure that as soon as your self-exclusion request is processed, you will no longer be able to play on the Website and you will not be able to access your Account until your period of limitation has elapsed. Please make sure to withdraw all the funds held in your Account prior to making a self-exclusion request, otherwise we will return any remaining balance to you. Any undetermined bets at the time of your self-exclusion will be settled in the normal way, according to the normal timescales and, if applicable, winnings paid to you.
    14. Our Safer Gambling page gives more details about self-exclusions.
    15. You may, at your discretion, choose to limit your ability to access your Account for:
      1. An indefinite time: If you decide to close your Account permanently, you will not be able to access it again; and
      2. A definite term: If you decide to close your Account temporarily, you have to limit your access for a minimum period of six (6) months. You will not be able to reactivate your Account, under any circumstances, during the self-exclusion period chosen. Temporary self-exclusion may be extended for further periods of at least six (6) months. There is no maximum period of time for self-exclusion.
    16. Due to payment processing fees that we incur, any funds of £1.00 and over held in your Account will be returned to you once the self-exclusion has been registered. Where the remaining balance in your Account is £0.99 or less this will be donated to a safer gambling charity of our choice.
    17. Please be aware that after your self-exclusion period has elapsed, the Account will not be automatically reactivated. If you would like us to consider re-opening your Account you are required to contact us in writing via email to [email protected]. If we decide to have your Account reactivated, we will arrange a phone call with you and if we agree to reactivate your account you will have to wait for a "cooling off" period of 24 hours to elapse, consequently, you will not be able to access your Account straight away. A "cooling off" period gives you time to reconsider whether you really want to have your Account reopened. If you choose to create a new account instead of requesting that your existing account is reopened this will be classed as a Duplicate Account and actioned in line with section 6.2.
    18. Please understand that it is important for us to be made aware as to the motive for your exclusion, especially if this is related to problem gambling matters. Kindly inform us as to this reason upon making your self-exclusion request.
    19. Any Account limits and self-exclusion requests will be valid for the Website only and will not include other sites operated by us.
    20. Software is available from various organisations to help you with self-exclusion. You may also find more advice and information about safer gambling and protecting minors and vulnerable people at: https://www.begambleaware.co.uk and https://www.gamcare.org.uk/.
    21. MrQ is registered with GAMSTOP – the UK National online Self-Exclusion Scheme which lets players exclude from all participating operators gambling sites through one self-exclusion request for a period of six months, one year or five years.
    22. This means that once you're registered with GAMSTOP and your exclusion has been confirmed, you won't be able to sign up or log in to any participating operator's gambling site for the period of your exclusion. It is your responsibility to keep your GAMSTOP subscription updated with your correct details. We will not be liable if you attempt to bypass your exclusion by manipulating your details to circumvent our system checks. If we discover that you have breached this Term we will close your Account in line with section 12.2. We will not issue a refund of your deposits if there is no balance on the account.
    23. If you want to re-open your Account once your GAMSTOP subscription has ended then you will need to follow the return from exclusion procedure outlined in section 13.17.
    24. For more information visit: www.gamstop.co.uk - or call their free helpline on 0800 138 6518 (opening hours 08:00am - midnight) for more information.
    25. We suggest that you read our Safer Gambling Policy every month and seek help or support if you are in any way uncomfortable or concerned with your gambling, and especially if you've thought about taking a break at any time.
  14. 14. Promotions

    1. From time to time we may offer bonuses, rewards, promotions and/or competitions which are governed by these Terms and any separate terms and conditions which apply specifically to the relevant bonus/reward/promotion/competition. Any promotions, bonuses, rewards or special gifts credited to your Account will be subject to and must be used in adherence with these separate terms and conditions as well as these Terms.
    2. If there's any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and any promotion-specific terms and conditions, the promotion-specific terms and conditions will to that extent take precedence.
    3. All prizes and/or winnings from our promotions are paid in cash. They are therefore not subject to wagering requirements and may be withdrawn at any time.
    4. In the event that a winner’s account is deemed to be ineligible, we will withhold payment of the prize and if necessary, award the prize to an alternate entrant. The Account will be deemed ineligible if:
      1. the Account is closed or suspended for any reason;
      2. the Account has breached any of the terms outlined in section 14.6.
    5. If we believe an offer is being abused and/or you have engaged in a prohibited promotional play activity, we will take the following actions:
      1. Revoke and/or cancel any winnings that may have been accrued by misuse of the system; and/or
      2. Exclude players found to be abusing offers from receiving further marketing materials; and/or
      3. Suspend abusing player Accounts.
    6. A list of what we deem to be abuse and/or our prohibited promotional play activities include:
      1. Using more than one account;
      2. Equal, zero or low margin bets;
      3. Wagering on games excluded from the offer;
      4. Collusion;
      5. Manipulation of software, exploitation of loopholes or other technical forms of abuse or other behaviour which amounts to deliberate cheating;
      6. Use of software to gain an unfair advantage such as automated bots.
      7. Masking IP address or using a VPN.
      8. Attempting to use a promotion that was not sent to you.
    7. Any large wins may be subject to security checks and validations by the game provider and will not be released until we receive confirmation.
    8. In the event of a promotion malfunction, we will attempt to rectify the issue as soon as it’s identified and we are entitled to recoup any winnings accrued from the promotional error. If the game used in the promotion can no longer be used due to technical reasons we will credit an equivalent bonus on another game.
    9. We may withdraw or change the terms of an offer at any time. Any such change will apply from the point it is made to all customers opting in for the promotion from that point on. Any customer already opted in will be managed in accordance with the terms applicable at the time of opt in.
    10. Following a time-out or self-exclusion request and during the whole period of your time-out or self-exclusion, we will use all reasonable efforts not to send you any further marketing materials and, in any event, will ensure that we will not send you any further marketing materials after four hours of Account closure.
    11. If we have safer gambling concerns then we will not send you marketing materials even if you are subscribed to marketing communications.
  15. 15. Chat Rooms and Discussion Forums

    1. For some Games, we may offer you the opportunity to interact with other customers in virtual chat rooms and discussion forums. The purpose of these rooms is to provide entertainment and communication to all Account Holders. We reserve the right to block access to these features for any customer at any time.
    2. You agree that you are responsible for your use of chat rooms and discussion forums and you undertake to comply with the chat room and discussion forums rules in these Terms or our Chat Rules.
    3. You accept that if you violate any of the Chat Rules, we reserve the right to issue warnings and you may be blocked from accessing the chat and discussion features, temporarily or permanently. In certain cases, we reserve the right to suspend or permanently close your Account.
    4. Chat may be conducted in English only, and you may only chat in a way that would be appropriate in a face-to-face meeting. You accept that any foul, abusive or inappropriate language will not be tolerated and that you are not allowed to harass, threaten or embarrass other customers.
    5. You agree that you will not post or transmit through chat rooms and discussion forums any abusive, offensive, defamatory, threatening, obscene, harmful or pornographic material or material which would violate or infringe in any way upon the rights of others (including intellectual property rights, rights of confidentiality, or rights of privacy) or cause offence, distress or inconvenience or which do not comply with all relevant laws.
    6. You accept that chat rooms or discussion forums will be supervised and that all conversations in such rooms will be logged and recorded and suspicious chats reported to the relevant authorities.

    8. You accept the need, when using any chat room or discussion forum, to keep your identity private and refrain from giving out your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any other information (other than that specifically requested by the Chat Moderator), that could help someone discover your actual identity.
    9. You agree that we have the right to copy, use, distribute, adapt, modify, display, reproduce and transmit any information that you may put in any chat room or discussion forum and to allow other users of the Website, products and services to view and copy such information for personal use with your permission, which you are not obliged to give.
    10. You agree that, except for information posted by ourselves, all information shared in any chat room or discussion forum represents the personal input, opinions, views or other expressions of the applicable user and not those of ourselves and that we are not liable for any of them.
    11. You accept responsibility for any information you share in any chat room or discussion forum and that you are liable for any consequences of such information.
    12. You agree that we have the right to edit or delete any information put in to any discussion forum including, without limitation, any information which conflicts with any of the above rules.
  16. 16. Intellectual Property

    MrQ, its group companies and/or its licensors are the sole holders of all rights in the Website and the content of the Website including but not limited to all trademarks, service marks, signs, trade names, domain names, images, software, code, pictures, graphics, photographs, animations, videos, music, audio and text (together the "Website Content"). The Website Content is protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property or other rights. By using the Website and/or the Games you obtain no rights in the Website Content, or any part thereof. You are not entitled to exploit or otherwise use any of the Website Content for any purpose other than the proper use of the Website and Games, and except for what is allowed by law.

  17. 17. Limitation of Liability

    1. This Section is not intended – and will not be considered – to be excluding liability for anything which it would be unlawful for us to exclude. In particular (but without limitation) nothing in these Terms will operate so as to limit or exclude our liability for:
      1. personal injury or death caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors;
      2. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
      3. any breach by us of your statutory rights; or
      4. any other liability which may not be excluded by applicable law.
    2. We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking the contract between us or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen.
    3. If defective digital content which we have supplied to you damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
    4. Subject always to Sections 17.1 to 17.3 above:
      1. we accept no liability for any damages or losses which arise out of or in connection with your use of the Games or the Website;
      2. the Games and the Website are provided on an "as is" basis we make no warranty or representation in relation to the satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose, completeness or accuracy of the Games and the Website; and
      3. our maximum liability to you arising under these Terms will not exceed the value of the bets and/or wagers you placed via your Account in respect of the relevant bet/wager or Game that gave rise to the relevant liability.
  18. 18. Complaints and disputes

    1. If you have a complaint, you should inform us in writing at [email protected]. We will aim to acknowledge all complaints within 24 hours of receipt.
    2. Complaints should be made as soon as possible after circumstances arise that cause you to have a complaint. Complaints will be dealt with under the Complaints Procedure.

    Complaints Procedure

    1. In the first instance, we will endeavour to resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of both parties as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within eight weeks of receipt of your complaint. Should this not be possible we will contact you to explain why and provide a date by which you can expect a full response.
    2. If you are not satisfied with the resolution of your complaint/claim and/or your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction within eight weeks of receiving the complaint, you may report your complaint to an independent adjudicator as set out below: Independent Betting Adjudication Service PO Box 62639 London EC3P 3AS Telephone: 020 7347 5883 Email: [email protected]
    3. Alternatively, you may direct your complaint to the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Platform, which will then forward it on to the relevant ADR entity.
    4. The nominated ADR entity will act as an impartial adjudicator on disputes that arise between us and you only when:
      1. you have made every reasonable effort possible to resolve the dispute before speaking to them – in practice this means that you should go through our own internal customer complaint process (set out above in this Section) before referring the matter to ADR; and
      2. a deadlock regarding the resolution exists.
  19. 19. Miscellaneous

    1. Governing Law: These Terms, and all of their constituent parts, will be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales.
    2. Language Translations: These Terms are drafted in the English language. If at any time they are presented to Customers in another language and there is a conflict or inconsistency between the English language text and any text in another language, the English language text will prevail.
    3. Entire Agreement: These Terms (and all the documents referred to herein) constitute the entire agreement between us and there are no other terms applying. No part of these Terms will be considered as waived by any party unless a waiver is given in writing by that party.
    4. Assignment/Transfer: You may not assign, transfer, charge, create a trust over or otherwise deal in all or any of your rights and/or obligations under these Terms (or purport to do so) without our previous written consent. We're entitled to assign, transfer, charge, create a trust over or otherwise deal in our rights under these Terms as we see fit.
    5. Removal of Unenforceable Terms: If any provision of these Terms is held to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed (i.e. removed) from these Terms and all other provisions will remain in force unaffected by such removal.
    6. Variation: Nothing said or written by any employee or agent of MrQ or Lindar Media will constitute a variation of these Terms or an authorised representation of the nature or quality of any aspect of the products or services that we offer. Except in the case of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, we will have no liability to you for any such unauthorised representation.
    7. Force Majeure: MrQ will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of its obligations under these Terms to the extent that failure or delay is caused by events outside of our reasonable control.
