2.6 It is your responsibility as an entrant in the Art Union to ensure that you are eligible under all applicable laws (including the laws of your country if you are an overseas resident) to accept the prize should you win the Draw.
2.7 We reserve the right to disqualify entries in the event of non-compliance with the Terms and Conditions.

(a) all Entry Details; and
(b) payment in full for the ticket
regardless of whether received from you or another person.
3.2 Once a ticket has been issued, the details associated with that ticket (including your name and address) cannot be amended or updated, however a ticket may be cancelled and a new ticket issued with amended or updated details if you request us to do so before the closing date of the Draw. Art Union prizes must be transferred to the person or persons named on the ticket. For example: any prize home will be registered in the name of the person or persons named on the ticket and no other person.

3.6 Ticket books must be purchased in a single transaction. Where a ticket within a ticket book is determined as the winning entry, the bonus gold is payable on the value of the ticket book purchased which contains the winning ticket. For the avoidance of doubt, where multiple ticket books are purchased, and a winning ticket is drawn from within one of the ticket books, the bonus gold payable is calculated based on the individual ticket book value that contains the winning ticket and not based on the combined total value of the ticket book purchases.
3.7 Tickets cannot be combined to form a book with gift tickets that are purchased in the same transaction. By way of example only, where an order is placed for one $5 ticket and one $5 gift ticket, these are independent transactions and do not form a $10 book of two entries eligible for $10,000 bonus gold bullion
