18.5. If we agree to provide financial hardship grants, this does not change your position as a Member, either negatively or positively and such provision does not imply a change to any of these terms and conditions or our eventual constitution.

18.6. In the unlikely event of fraudulent applications for financial assistance, these shall amount to a serious breach of our Terms and Conditions and legal action may be taken against you to recover such funds including through law enforcement agencies and the Courts.
