Cadoo expects and requires fairness on the part of its Participants. To assure compliance with its standards, Cadoo reserves the right to require additional audit of results. Some players may be required to submit additional proof of their final submission within 24 hours of being requested to do so. Instructions on the process will be sent to the player upon being notified of this requirement. Non-compliance by a player with these requirements will result in forfeiture of a player’s winning proceeds and initial bet. Further, Cadoo may in its complete discretion decline to permit any individuals to participate in Cadoo challenges. By participating in a Cadoo challenge, the player accepts all of Cadoo’s terms and conditions and acknowledges that that the decisions of Cadoo’s officials shall be final and conclusive with respect to all matters involving Cadoo challenges. SUBMISSION OF FRAUDULENT INFORMATION NOT ONLY VIOLATES CADOO’S CHALLENGE RULES BUT MAY SUBJECT THE PLAYER TO CRIMINAL PENALTIES
