Mistaken Additions
8.26.

If you become aware that you have mistakenly received a prize redemption that does not belong to you prior to us becoming aware of the error, the mistakenly paid amount will (without prejudice to other remedies and actions that may be available at law) constitute a debt owed by you to us.
