Smash is not the owner of companies licensed by the relevant gambling regulator and does not manage, control, or direct the operations of any such entities. The brand maintains no financial, managerial, or other interests in those companies, and holds no capacity to influence their operational or management decisions. Smash bears no legal responsibility for the actions, omissions, or regulatory violations of separately licensed companies operating under the same or related regulatory framework. Any claims, complaints, or disputes relating to those companies must be directed to the relevant licensed entity or the appropriate regulatory authority.

A digital licence verification system is available, allowing users to confirm the current status and authenticity of the Smash gaming licence at any time. This tool functions as a status-check mechanism, providing direct access to up-to-date licence information held by the issuing regulator. All texts, images, seal graphics, and related materials displayed through or alongside the verification system remain the exclusive property of the regulator and are protected under applicable copyright law. Any commercial or unauthorised use of these materials by third parties is strictly prohibited and may result in legal penalties or regulatory sanctions.

All trademarks, logos, and commercial identifiers displayed across the Smash website and applications are protected under the intellectual property rights held by the licence holder or the issuing regulatory authority. Ownership of these marks is clearly established, and protection extends beyond registered domain names and formally registered trademarks to encompass broader brand identity elements, including design features and stylistic identifiers. Any unauthorised reproduction, use, or distribution of protected marks or brand elements is strictly prohibited and may expose the infringing party to legal liability under applicable intellectual property and commercial law.
