Your use of the Website and App (collectively “Tomwaterhouse.com”) and the services provided via Tomwaterhouse.com (collectively the Services) is governed by these terms and conditions (Terms). By using the Website or App, you are deemed to have read, understood and accepted these Terms. A member (“member”) is a person who creates an account with waterhousetips.com or installs the mobile application on Android or iOS. Betting Agency (“Betting Agency”) refers to Australian wagering operators. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must cease accessing and using our Website and App immediately.

2. Tips on demand: One-off horse racing bet recommendations.
3. Odds comparison: Comparison of external Betting Agency prices and odds.

Whilst Tom Waterhouse believes in our form, this is not a guarantee. Members should be aware that betting is a form of gambling which is risky and members can lose their entire bet. Tom Waterhouse is not responsible for members’ losses and will not provide refunds in respect of gambling monies lost.
WaterhouseTips.com does not provide any assurances or guarantees that any of the horses, races and events which have been the subject of tips by WaterhouseTips.com have not been cancelled, postponed or otherwise varied.

With the exception of consumer guarantees which cannot be excluded by law and the “Subscription Money Back Guarantees” (see below), your subscription is non-refundable.
Tom Waterhouse is an advocate of responsible gambling. Tom Waterhouse wants you to be in control of your gambling at all times and not allow your gambling to control you. You should ensure that, when making a decision to follow Tom Waterhouse’s tips, you do so in a controlled manner, with the key principle to only gamble what you can afford to lose.

Amendments

From time to time, we may amend these Terms, including the terms and conditions of our subscription service. Where amendments are material, reasonable notice of the amendments will be provided by publication on the Website before the amendments take effect. By continuing to use our Services after the amendments take effect, you agree to be bound by the Terms as amended. If, at any time, you do not agree to these Terms, you should cease use of our Services and terminate your subscription.

Subscriptions

Tomwaterhouse.com offers a range of subscription packages. To become a subscriber, you must:
1. be at least 18 years of age;
2. create an account and become a member. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account and password. If you do not notify us that the security of your password has been compromised, we will be entitled to assume that all activity connected to your account is conducted by you; and
3. select a subscription package and pay a subscription fee, if any, in advance (in accordance with the terms and conditions of your subscription package).
Payment for subscriptions may be made by Visa, MasterCard or American Express debit or credit cards. We will cancel your subscription if the subscription fee is not paid in advance.
You expressly authorise us to automatically charge your credit or debit card for each subscription payment.
We reserve the right to review and alter our subscription fees. We will provide you with reasonable notice of any changes to subscription fees before the changes take effect.
You are required to notify us if you wish to make changes to your subscription, such as changing your contact details or payment details. You can notify us by logging into your account via the www.waterhousetips.com website or the mobile application.
By becoming a subscriber, you acknowledge and agree that:
1. the tips you receive are confidential and proprietary in nature and, to this end, must not, under any circumstances, be forwarded on or otherwise communicated in any form to any person without our prior written consent;
2. all other information you receive in relation to your subscription and membership is also confidential and must not be disclosed unless expressly authorised by us or required by law; and
3. all intellectual property contained in the information you receive in connection with your subscription and membership belongs to and is exclusively owned by us (or our licensors).

WaterhouseTips.com only accepts payments in AUD$. If you are paying for subscriptions in a currency other than AUD$, members must ensure that the amount is sufficient following conversion into AUD$ by the receiving bank. Any applicable refunds will be paid in AUD$. We accept no foreign exchange risk.
Refunds will be made using the original payment method used for each subscription payment.

Subscription Money Back Guarantee on the Gold Package

‘Gold Package’ subscribers will be refunded a month’s subscription cost if there is a “negative return” in respect of their first 28 days of being a member. For clarity, this only applies for the first 28 days that someone is a Gold member and, to be eligible to receive a subscription fee refund, you have to be a paying Gold member for the full 28 days in question. In such event, funds will be automatically refunded into all eligible Gold members’ accounts (see 24).
“Negative return” in respect of a month will be determined by the aggregate of the stake of bets won multiplied by the best price offered by Australian wagering operators after the tips have been sent to members, minus the stake of all bets during that month.
All refunds will be processed within 7 days of the expiry of a member’s 28 day period (see 21).
Members with more than one outstanding subscription payment will not be entitled to receive a refund for any of their payments over that month.

Subscription Cancellations

You may cancel your subscription at by:
1. Logging into your account via the www.waterhousetips.com website, clicking “Dashboard’’, locating the subscription you want to cancel in your list of subscriptions and clicking the ‘manage subscription’ icon. Follow the prompts and click ‘Cancel Subscription’ to confirm you want to cancel your subscription.
2. For plans purchased in-app via iOS or iTunes: In your iTunes Account settings, click to manage your subscription, locate the subscription you want to cancel and select to turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before your current subscription ends.

We may cancel your subscription at any time if we suspect, on reasonable grounds, that you are in breach of any of these Terms.

We appreciate hearing from you. Please be aware that, by providing your feedback to our tipping services, whether it be via email, posting via any public forum or otherwise (including any reviews, questions, photographs or videos, comments, suggestions, ideas or the like) you grant Tom Waterhouse a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable right to:

Betting functionality

In order to utilise the App, you will be required to nominate your Betting Agency (as displayed on the App) and enter your Betting Agency’s login details to utilise the App. These details are encrypted and stored against your account.
Upon logging into the Betting Agency through the App, a Session ID is generated by that Betting Agency. This Session ID will be referred to when you place your wagers with that Betting Agency via the BetMakers servers.
The App does not make any representations or warranties in relation to wagers which you place with Betting Agencies for any errors or delays that may occur in data transmission or that the information will be uninterrupted or timely, for example a request or submission that has ‘timed out’.
Whilst this App provides information and odds from Betting Agencies in good faith, we are not an agent of a Betting Agency and cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions on the App, as the App is entirely reliant on the accuracy of information from third party sources, namely the Betting Agencies.
The responsibility lies with you as the end user to ensure that you are satisfied that the odds you have selected and the value of the wager are correct.

Privacy

The personal information that you provide to us when creating an account and signing-up for a subscription will be used for the purpose of managing your subscription, including sending you notices about your subscription and making payments, as well as notifying you about our other products and services (and those of our affiliates) which may be of interest to you.

Invalidity

If any part of these Terms is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of law in respect of a jurisdiction, then that provision will not apply in that jurisdiction and is deemed to have not been included in the Terms in that jurisdiction. This will not affect the remaining provisions.
