We are committed to preventing the use of unfair practices in the Gaming Services, including but not limited to player collusion. We are also committed to detecting and preventing the use of software programs which are designed to enable artificial intelligence to play on our Platforms including, but not limited to, opponent-profiling, cheating software or anything else that we deem enables you to have an unfair advantage over other players not using such programs or systems ('AI Software'). You acknowledge that the Company will take measures to detect and prevent the use of such programs and AI Software using methods (including but not limited to reading the list of currently running programs on a player's computer) and you agree not to use any AI Software and/or any such programs. Go to our Unfair Advantage Policy.

28.5. Software

You may install and use the computer programs we make available from the Platforms used to provide the Gaming Services (the 'Software') on a hard disk or other storage device and make backup copies of the Software, provided that such use and backup copying is only for your own personal use in using the Gaming Services in accordance with these Agreements, and further, that such installation and use is made through a computer of which you are the primary user. The Software's structure, organisation and code are the valuable trade secrets of the Company and/or its group Companies and/or its licensors. You obtain no rights to the Software except to use it in accordance with these Agreements. Save as expressly permitted by law, you are strictly prohibited from, and agree not to modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software or any part of it or to create, publish or distribute derivative works from the Software. You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred or exported into any country or used in any manner prohibited by any applicable laws, restrictions or regulations.

28.6. Shared Games, Table and Database Platform

The Company reserves the right, but is not obliged, to run and utilise a shared table, server and database platform or system ('Shared Game/Table Platform') which enables Gaming Service users to play with players coming into the games, tables and tournaments from other websites and brands operating on the same Shared Game/Table Platform. If a Shared Game/Table Platform is used, you agree that you may be pooled into these common game/tables, at the Company's sole discretion, and that to the extent that you breach the terms and conditions of one site or brand that operates on the Shared Game/Table Platform, the Company may have you blocked, in part or full, from the entire system so that you may not play through any site or brand using or on the Shared Game/Table Platform. Without limitation to the restriction on having multiple accounts with us (please see Section 4), the Company may require that you only have one account on the Shared Game/Table Platform if the same is used.

28.7. Play Money and Real Money Account Funding

'Play money' funds have no value and are kept separate from 'real money' funds. They are not transferable to a 'real money' account nor are they redeemable for any currency. To play the Real Money Games, you will be required to pay 'real money' funds into your account by any of the methods specified from time to time by us. Such funds will be deposited into your account upon actual receipt of funds by the Company and/or its agents. Minimum and maximum limits may be applied to the payments into your account, depending upon your history with us, the method of deposit, and other factors as determined solely by the Company. If permitted, you may make transfers from your account to fund another player's account solely for the purposes of using the Gaming Services and such transfers will be subject to the Inter-Account Transfer Terms or the Gift Certificate Terms (where applicable) and any other applicable terms and the restrictions on cash outs therein.

28.8. Settlement of In-Game Disputes

You fully accept and agree that random number generator ('RNG') software will determine the shuffling and dealing of cards and other randomly generated events required in the Gaming Services. If there is a discrepancy between the result showing on the Software (as installed and operated on your hardware) and our server, the result showing on our server shall govern the result. Moreover, you understand and agree that (without prejudice to your other rights and remedies) the Company records shall be the final authority in determining the terms of your use of the Gaming Services, the activity resulting therefrom and the circumstances in which such activity occurred.
