Also, the Website does its best to ensure that if a connection is interrupted or becomes unusable, the status of the Player's balance recorded after making the last bet is displayed once the Player logs back into the game. At the same time, PepperMill Casino is not liable for any losses caused by such technical failures. Such an event falls under force majeure. If a Player places new bets in such a situation, the Player's previous bets will also be accepted. PepperMill Casino does not guarantee the refund or adjustment of the money. If the Player feels that the outcome of a game is unfair or wrong, the Player must report it to Customer Service immediately.

                                                                                              13. Responsible gaming

                                                                                              13.1 PepperMill Casino strives to provide its Players with entertainment through a safe gaming environment. However, the Player must understand that gaming can be addictive and be aware of the consequences of gaming addiction for the Player himself and his or her family.

                                                                                              13.2 The Responsible Gaming section of the Website provides access to websites and contact information for organizations that provide (anonymous) help with gambling addiction, instructions to exclude oneself from participating in games of chance offered by PepperMill Casino, and instructions to enroll oneself on the Prohibited Persons List (EPIS).

                                                                                              13.3 PepperMill Casino is not responsible if the Player can no longer play because of a self-exclusion.

                                                                                              14. Priority of results recorded by PepperMill Casino

                                                                                              Data and records obtained and/or maintained directly or indirectly by PepperMill Casino shall be considered sole evidence of the existence and substance of the rights and obligations of PepperMill Casino and Player, regardless of the medium.

                                                                                              15. Intellectual Property

                                                                                              15.1 PepperMill Casino is the owner or authorized user or licensee of the Website and of the intellectual property rights of the content, whereby said right includes all copyrights, patents, registered layouts, trademarks, service marks, source codes, templates , images, specifications, logos, product designs or other rights registered in Belgium or elsewhere in connection with the content, databases, formats, interfaces, programs, provision of services to other Players, software or other applications mentioned above, and modifications, improvements, developments and changes thereto. The Website does not grant the Player any direct or indirect rights with respect to the intellectual property or confidential information stored on the Website's servers.

                                                                                              15.2 PepperMill Casino is granted all exclusive, royalty-free, intellectual property rights in material (such as photographs, questions, comments, text messages and such) submitted to the Website that does not contain personal information of PepperMill Casino’s Players. No compensation or remuneration of any kind can be claimed.

                                                                                              16. Liability and Limitation

                                                                                              16.1 PepperMill Casino provides its service in a manner that ensures good quality, but does not guarantee its perfection (e.g., that the software or the Website is fit for its intended purpose; that there are no errors in the software or the Website; and that the Website and/or games are available without interruption, delays or other technical or political failures affecting play). However, in case of any problems or errors, PepperMill Casino takes reasonable efforts to correct them.

                                                                                              16.2 PepperMill Casino excludes, to the extent permitted by law in the country of establishment, its liability for any loss (including direct or indirect loss of profits, economic loss, business interruption, loss of information) and any direct, indirect, consequential or special losses, including, but not limited to, termination of contracts, loss of goodwill or reputation in connection with the use of PepperMill Casino service or lack of availability thereof, even if PepperMill Casino has been advised of the possibility of the occurrence of such losses. In any event, PepperMill Casino's maximum liability to Player shall be limited to the average account balance of Account over the last six months.

                                                                                              16.3 As we are dealing with games of chance, PepperMill Casino is not liable for the Player's gaming behavior. The Player is responsible for all his wagers and results made with his Account.

                                                                                              16.4 PepperMill Casino shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused to Player by acts of God, power outages, labor disputes, any act or error or omission of government or authorities, failure of telecommunications services (including the Internet) or networks, or any other delay or failure caused by a third party. PepperMill Casino is not responsible for equipment or software failures beyond the direct control of PepperMill Casino, which may interfere with the use of the Services, interfere with betting, or interfere with Player's referral to PepperMill Casino.

                                                                                              16.5 PepperMill Casino reserves the right to interrupt or suspend one or more games or Services offered on the Website at any time and without prior notice, without justification by PepperMill Casino. PepperMill Casino shall in no event be held liable for such action, and Players shall not be entitled to claim any damages of any kind.

                                                                                              16.6 PepperMill Casino is not liable if one or more games or Services are changed or cancelled or delayed for reasons beyond its control.

                                                                                              16.7 PepperMill Casino is not liable for the content posted by Players on the Website, but reserves the right to remove any content from the Website that violates the law or the Terms and Conditions and to provide this information to the competent authorities if necessary.

In particular, PepperMill Casino reserves the right to correct obvious errors during the storage and processing of the results (for example, the errors related to the Player's identity, wagers, prizes, quotas, ...).

                                                                                              16.9 In the event that PepperMill Casino is found liable in any way by a court and/or similar authority with legal jurisdiction and/or jurisdiction over PepperMill Casino, PepperMill Casino's liability shall be limited to the amount of the wager, or the Player's net winnings, whichever is less. Alternatively, if relevant and applicable, the amount registered in the Player's Account or the amount transferred to or from the Account, whichever is lower.

                                                                                              16.10 PepperMill Casino may provide links to third-party websites (so-called hyperlinks) or participate in commercial activities offered on third-party websites. However, PepperMill Casino is not able to control the content of these third-party websites, and therefore access to these websites is the sole responsibility of the Player. PepperMill Casino is in no way responsible for the content, availability or legality of any third-party websites. The Player acknowledges that PepperMill Casino is not liable for any loss or potential damage arising from accessing or navigating these third-party websites. In fact, the Player is responsible to inform himself about the conditions offered on the third-party website. PepperMill Casino commits itself to remove third-party websites by all means if it is informed of their illegal nature, complaints in this regard can be sent to the following email address support@peppermillcasino.be.

                                                                                              16.12 In the event of a breach of the Terms and Conditions by the Player, the Player shall indemnify PepperMill Casino against all third-party claims and bear all losses, costs or damages arising therefrom.

                                                                                              17. Data Protection

PepperMill Casino will store and process data only to the extent necessary for the operation of the Website, for regulatory purposes and for legitimate interests.

In no event shall PepperMill Casino be liable for any damages, including damages suffered by the Player or any third party.

                                                                                              17.5 The Player may at any time access his/her personal data through the Account and exercise any other right in relation to personal data processed by PepperMill Casino in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. The Player is obliged to keep the personal data up to date and correct at all times.

PepperMill Casino will ensure that such personal data is deleted upon request and when not required for retention purposes or for the handling of a legitimate interest (e.g. proceedings before courts and/or authorities).

                                                                                              17.7 PepperMill Casino is obliged to pass on information, which relates to fraudulent behavior, such as but not limited to criminal transactions and/or acts, to the competent authorities.

By accepting these data protection guidelines, the Player gives his/her consent to the verification of player data and other transaction information by third party databases.

                                                                                              17.8 PepperMill Casino will display on the Website the applicable Privacy Policy and the Cookies Policy and ask the User to voluntarily give his/her consent to optional data processing activities (e.g. newsletters, marketing profiling, etc.).

                                                                                              18. Severability

                                                                                              If one or more provisions in these Terms and Conditions prove to be invalid as a result of a law or regulation or final court ruling, the remaining provisions in these Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect.

                                                                                              19. Change

                                                                                              19.1 PepperMill Casino reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions unilaterally, including, but not limited to, for fraud prevention purposes, to clarify the Terms and Conditions, to communicate the changes through the Website, and to give the Player a reasonable period of time to terminate the contract (in any case, not less than two weeks) if the Player does not agree with the changes. If the Player does not terminate the contract within the deadline, it will be assumed that the Player has accepted the changes.

                                                                                              19.2 Any visit to the Website by the Player, after he was informed of the changes to the Services or to the Terms and Conditions, will be considered as an acceptance of the changes made.

                                                                                              20. Priority of the Dutch version

                                                                                              In the event of a conflict between the Dutch and foreign language versions of these Terms and Conditions, the Dutch version shall prevail.

For any dispute arising between PepperMill Casino and the Player over matters covered by these Terms and Conditions, the parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations, within a period of 14 days from the date the dispute was reported.

                                                                                              Only the Courts and Tribunals of Belgium are competent to make decisions for all disputes that remain unresolved after exhausting amicable remedies.
