Article 6 (Service Interruption)
Lottery Stupore may temporarily suspend its services in the event of computer or communication equipment maintenance, replacement, malfunction, communication disruption, natural disasters, war, riots, insurrections, or other uncontrollable circumstances. If the service is interrupted due to the reasons mentioned in the preceding clause, Lottery Stupore will notify its members via site announcements or through methods such as email or phone. Lottery Stupore will not be responsible for any damages incurred by members due to these service interruptions. If Lottery Stupore needs to permanently or temporarily suspend its service due to business decisions, efforts will be made to transfer the service or points to a similar business entity. If unavoidable, refunds will be made, and the service can be permanently or temporarily suspended after prior notice.
Article 7 (Point Recharge)
Members can recharge their points through various services provided by Lottery Stupore and to pay for lottery ticket purchases via credit card, interbank payment, or other third-party payment methods specified by Lottery Stupore. The applicable exchange rate will be set by Lottery Stupore, referencing the rate provided by the transaction bank. When transferring prize money to customers, it will be processed according to the exchange rate specified by Lottery Stupore.
Article 9 (Prize Money Payment Regulations)
Lottery prize amounts and tax deductions are applied based on the regulations of the respective country's lottery agency. If the prize money is less than US$600, it will be automatically charged to the member's mileage. For prize amounts of US$600 or more where taxes are applicable, the amount after tax deduction will be credited to mileage. This may take up to a week. Upon purchase, the physical lottery ticket belongs to the member. For 1st and 2nd prize winners, the procedure for receiving the prize money will be carried out in consultation with the local branch, following the lottery laws and the state laws of Washington. The winner must have the same registered member name and personal information; if the member's name or payment information is incorrect, and accurate proof or ID is not provided, the prize money may be denied.
Article 10 (Lottery Ticket Storage)
The physical lottery ticket is primarily stored by Lottery Stupore. However, 1st prize-winning physical lottery tickets can be stored in the vault of Lottery Stupore's main transacting bank. Each lottery ticket, based on its draw, will be stored as a physical non-winning ticket for 2 weeks, and a scanned version of the non-winning ticket will be stored for 1 month.
Article 11 (Lottery Purchase)
Lottery Stupore (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) will purchase lottery numbers as requested by the member. The Company bears no responsibility for any unintended number purchases due to a member's error.
In the case of selective automatic lottery purchases, the Company is not responsible if a purchase is not made due to insufficient member mileage.
If a member's requested numbers are not purchased due to printing and system errors, the Company is not liable unless intentional. Members must always verify their order number after order completion. In cases of incorrect purchases, members can request repurchase. For repurchase requests, the Company must promptly process them. Both the correctly processed lottery and the mistakenly purchased lottery are owned by the member. If repurchase is not possible due to official lottery sales closing, the original order is refunded, and the mistakenly purchased lottery remains the member's property.
Article 12 (Contract Termination and Usage Restrictions)
Members wishing to terminate their membership contract can request Lottery Stupore to do so, and the Company will process this request immediately upon receiving.
If a member acts in violation of Article 14, Section 2 and Article 17, Section 2, the Company can restrict, suspend, or revoke their membership in an appropriate manner. Furthermore, the member will be held responsible for any resulting damages.
In the following circumstances, the Company can immediately invalidate or suspend all actions of a member, revoke their membership rights, and report to relevant authorities when necessary:
-
Using another person's credit card. However, if no objections regarding illegal card usage arise from the cardholder within a certain period, it is considered legal usage.
-
Using an illegal card.
-
Repeated credit card input failures leading the Company to suspect credit card hacking.
-
Repeated attempts and failures of ID and password input leading the Company to suspect ID hacking. To prevent fraud, the Company monitors users' ID and IP addresses. This is not surveillance but for damage prevention.
Members re-registering after withdrawal are treated as new members. However, if they register with the same information, previous transaction records or data might appear duplicated, and re-registration with the same ID due to security concerns is not allowed.
If the Company intends to restrict a member's usage, it will notify the member of the reasons, timing, and duration via email, in writing, or by phone. However, if the Company deems it essential to urgently suspend usage, this notification process might be skipped.
Members with un-drawn lotteries can only withdraw after the lottery draw is completed. If members withdraw, rights to their purchased lottery are also instantly nullified.
Before withdrawing, members must apply for mileage refund. If members withdraw without applying for a point refund, their points will automatically expire, and recovery is not possible.
If a member shows no activity such as point recharges and purchase records for six months after registration, or if there's inactivity for one year after their last purchase, their membership can be revoked. In such cases, they will be notified via their registered email. To use the site again, they must re-register.
Ordering foreign lottery tickets is prohibited in regions where it's not legally permitted. Customers are advised to refer to the laws of their respective regions.
