New Santander Switch - Direct Debits?

I'm switching a spare/dummy account to Santander which already has two active DDs for small amounts.
But reading the Santander terms it reads as if new DDs have to be set up only once the switch is complete.
So just to clarify does anyone know if existing DDs from the dummy account are acceptable or are new one's needed?
Thanks.

The DDs can be part of the switch or set up post switch.

"3.4 We reserve the right to not make any Cashback Payment where we suspect or are made aware that the Switcher Offer is being abused, for example, by closing an Old Account to switch back to us to receive the Cashback Payment"This is the first time I see this clause in switching TCs0

With regards to the DDs, what if the Santander account was an already existing one with DDs already set up, would I need to set up 2 new ones to qualify?0

2.3 Within 60 days of you instructing us to start the switch to
the Qualifying Account, you will also need to have:
2.3.1 successfully completed the switch, which includes
closing the account not held with us;
2.3.2 at least two active Direct Debits in place on the
Qualifying Account (Direct Debits must be active at the
point we assess the Qualifying Account), and cannot
include Direct Debits set up to fund a savings accountyou have with Santander, cahoot or Cater Allen);If you're switching into a Santander account which already has 2 DDs on it then you qualify, assuming the DDs are still in place 60 days later. There is no need for new DDs to be added either as part of the switch or post switch.1
