3.2 LOPOCA may charge assigned fees for processing deposits. In such cases, these fees shall be visible during the deposit process.
3.3 Deposits can be made via various payment methods offered on the Website. Please also refer to the deposit and withdrawal section on the website
for further information relating to the payment methods available, fees and processing times. The payment methods offered on the Website may change from time to time. LOPOCA will always try to offer you multiple different payment methods but does not guarantee any specific payment method to be available at any time in which you may choose to make a deposit.
3.4 LOPOCA is not a financial institution and funds credited especially to your User, the Gaming or Benefit Account will not bear any interest.
3.5 When making a deposit, you shall be responsible to use a payment method that is registered in the same name as the name you provided during registration.

3.6 LOPOCA reserves the right to process your deposit only after you have presented to LOPOCA official documents that prove your identity and/or other documents requested by LOPOCA.
3.7 For deposits, you shall not use any funds that originate from an illegal or criminal or unauthorized activity and you shall not use your Gaming or Benefit Account to participate in illegal or criminal or unauthorized activities.

3.8 You will be liable for any cancellation fees, fees for chargebacks, reverse posting and similar costs that are incurred for incorrect payments. If your Gaming or Benefit Account holds a sufficient balance, such amounts will be deducted from your Gaming or Benefit Account. LOPOCA reserves the right to conduct investigations at LOPOCA’s sole discretion and to contact the payment service providers you have used and/or yourself to learn about the circumstances for any incorrect payments. LOPOCA reserves the right to take further action in accordance with the Terms of Use and LOPOCA’s legal responsibilities if LOPOCA learns or suspects that the payments may be connected to any illegal activities or that they constitute a breach of the Terms of Use.
3.9 Should deposits be accepted and shown on your Gaming Account and should LOPOCA at a later stage be notified by a payment service provider that the transfer has to be reversed for any reason whatsoever, LOPOCA reserves the right to take further action in accordance with the Terms of Use and especially suspend or void any wagers already placed.
3.10 The use of any unfair methods is strictly prohibited.
3.10.1 Unfair methods in connection with the use of the Services include but are not limited to any:

3.10.4 Users agree to indemnify and hold harmless LOPOCA and any third party involved in the performance of the Services of any and all consequences resulting from actions taken according to this Section.
3.11 Any use of a Service can only be accepted when your Gaming Account holds sufficient funds. In the event that the use of a Service is accepted despite your Gaming Account not holding sufficient funds, including without limitation cases in which a technical error occurs, the use of the Service shall be deemed invalid and as if it had never occurred.
3.12 You may use Services only in your own name and for your own User Account. Any use of a Service for or on behalf of any third party, including but not limited to other Users or companies or pools or syndicates, is strictly forbidden.

3.14 LOPOCA holds no liability for any malfunctioning or aborted Services. You shall immediately contact the LOPOCA Support Team at support@lopoca.com if you find that a Service malfunctions in any way. LOPOCA will review the matter and decide on how to handle it and whether or not you shall receive any compensation of any kind at LOPOCA’s sole discretion.
3.14.1.1 LOPOCA reserves the right to change, amend or terminate the Services or parts of them at any time, at LOPOCA’s sole discretion and without giving notice. LOPOCA will honour any commitment made prior to such change, amendment or termination taking effect in accordance with the Terms of Use.
4 ERRORS, MALFUNCTIONS AND MAINTANANCE
4.1 LOPOCA will use its best efforts to ensure access to the Website and the Services at all times but does not represent or warrant or otherwise guarantee that the Website or the Services will be available at any specific time, without interruptions, safe to use, or free of any errors.
4.2 If LOPOCA mistakenly credit your Gaming or Benefit Account with any amounts, including, without limitation, any winnings that do or should not belong to you, whether as a result of a technical or human error, or otherwise, the respective amount will remain the property of LOPOCA and LOPOCA reserves the right to reclaim it, wholly or in part, from your Gaming or Benefit Account, at any time. If, prior to LOPOCA becoming aware of such an erroneous crediting of balance to your Gaming or Benefit Account, you have withdrawn the amount that does not belong to you and the balance left in your Gaming or Benefit Account is not sufficient for LOPOCA to claim the full amount you owe to LOPOCA from your Gaming or Benefit Account, then, without prejudice to other remedies and actions that may be available to LOPOCA by law, the mistakenly paid amount shall constitute a debt owed by you to LOPOCA. In any case, you shall always report any mistakenly credited amount to your Gaming or Benefit Account to LOPOCA immediately.
4.3 In any case of malfunctions and errors in the Services, such as obvious errors or misprints, technical errors, human or systematic errors, and unless specifically stated otherwise within the Terms of Use, any wagers placed and any winnings or bonuses arising from the use of the malfunctioning or erroneous Services may be cancelled and may be considered null and void. In any such cases the User Account may be returned to the balance prior to the occurrence of any malfunctions or errors.
4.4 LOPOCA may, in its sole discretion, cancel all outstanding transactions in order to perform technical maintenance.

LOPOCA reserves the right to deny your request to make a withdrawal if the payment method you have chosen differs from the one or those you have used to make deposits into your Gaming Account.

3.14.1.1 LOPOCA reserves the right to change, amend or terminate the Services or parts of them at any time, at LOPOCA’s sole discretion and without giving notice. LOPOCA will honour any commitment made prior to such change, amendment or termination taking effect in accordance with the Terms of Use.
4 ERRORS, MALFUNCTIONS AND MAINTANANCE
4.1 LOPOCA will use its best efforts to ensure access to the Website and the Services at all times but does not represent or warrant or otherwise guarantee that the Website or the Services will be available at any specific time, without interruptions, safe to use, or free of any errors.

If, prior to LOPOCA becoming aware of such an erroneous crediting of balance to your Gaming or Benefit Account, you have withdrawn the amount that does not belong to you and the balance left in your Gaming or Benefit Account is not sufficient for LOPOCA to claim the full amount you owe to LOPOCA from your Gaming or Benefit Account, then, without prejudice to other remedies and actions that may be available to LOPOCA by law, the mistakenly paid amount shall constitute a debt owed by you to LOPOCA. In any case, you shall always report any mistakenly credited amount to your Gaming or Benefit Account to LOPOCA immediately.

In any such cases the User Account may be returned to the balance prior to the occurrence of any malfunctions or errors.
4.4 LOPOCA may, in its sole discretion, cancel all outstanding transactions in order to perform technical maintenance.
