Usage notes
Falls is synonymous to the more common wenn(“if”), but has the advantage of being unambiguously conditional, while wenn can also be used temporally (meaning "when, whenever").
Colloquially, falls is used somewhat differently than in standard German proper. It does occur in sense 1, but infrequently. In return, it is often heard in sense 2 where formal usage would require für den Fall, dass.
