If a payment is subsequently reversed, cancelled, refunded, disputed or otherwise found not to have been successfully completed, the corresponding entry may be declared void.
6. Refunds and cancellation
Entries are generally non-refundable once successfully purchased. If the draw is cancelled and does not take place, entrants will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid for affected entries. Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights that an entrant may have under applicable law.
7. Draw date
The draw is scheduled to take place on 31 October 2026.

Any material change will be communicated through the Crookedwood fundraising website and/or the Club's official communication channels.

11. Claiming a prize
A winner must respond to the Promoter within seven days of notification, or within such longer period as the Promoter may reasonably allow.
