In no event shall Adwa Gaming, its affiliates, agents, directors, employees, suppliers, or licensors be liable to you for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses or costs in an amount exceeding the amount you paid to Adwa Gaming hereunder or ZAR1000.00, whichever is greater.

This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if Adwa Gaming has been advised of the possibility of such damage.

Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from Adwa Gaming. For any dispute with Adwa Gaming, you agree to first contact us at support@Adwa Gaming.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally.

Other security safeguards include but are not limited to data encryption, firewalls, and physical access controls to building and files. However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems 100%. In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and, where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.
