12. Fair Play

12.1: One account per organisation
The Organisation plan is available to individual community organisations only. Each organisation may hold one Organisation plan account. The plan is not transferable to, and may not be shared with, affiliated entities, member clubs, branches, or any other organisation, regardless of any formal relationship between those entities.
12.2: Umbrella organisations
A state-based body, league, association, or governing body may not purchase a single Organisation plan and extend its benefits to member clubs or affiliated organisations under its umbrella. Each individual club, school, or charitable entity that wishes to access the Organisation plan must hold its own account and pay the applicable annual fee.
12.3: ABN verification
We verify the Australian Business Number (ABN) provided at registration. By submitting an ABN, the Organiser confirms that the ABN belongs to the organisation for which the account is being created. Providing an ABN that belongs to another entity, or using an Organisation plan account on behalf of an entity other than the registered organisation, constitutes a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of the account without refund.
12.4: Our intent
The Organisation plan is priced to make ongoing fundraising accessible and affordable for genuine community organisations. We ask that Organisers honour the spirit of this pricing. Lucky Squares Australia reserves the right to investigate suspected misuse and to take appropriate action, including account suspension or termination, where misuse is identified.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of South Australia, Australia. Each party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of South Australia for the resolution of any dispute arising under or in connection with these Terms.
