Tatts Card Membership Terms and Conditions (NT)

These terms and conditions are effective from 19 August 2019.  For current terms and conditions, please see www.thelott.com/tattersalls

  1. Application of Membership Terms:
    1. These are the Membership Terms applicable to Tatts Card membership. They are important and should be read carefully by you.
    2. If we accept your registration for an online Product Account, you are automatically registered as a member of Tatts Card and will be issued with an electronic card. You may also elect to receive a physical Tatts Card.
    3. If you are an existing Tatts Card member, you may link your Tatts Card membership with your online Product Account, which will allow you to view your transaction history online for all purchases made by you at any Tatts NT Outlet where those purchases are registered to your Tatts Card.
       
  2. Acceptance of Membership Terms:
    You agree to the Tatts Card Membership Terms either expressly (e.g. when you expressly accept them as part of the registration process) or implicitly (e.g. when you make use of your Tatts Card to enter a lottery or otherwise make use of the benefits or services available to Tatts Card members).  If you are asked to accept these Membership Terms in respect of your existing Tatts Card membership then your acceptance acknowledges that the Membership Terms replace those which applied to your existing membership, to the extent that they are different.

  3. Eligibility:
    Tatts Card membership is only available to persons 18 years of age or older. Your right to make use of your Tatts Card membership to participate in a lottery (e.g. the use of your Tatts Card to purchase an entry) is conditional upon your compliance with these Membership Terms.

  4. Bonus Draws and other promotions
    1. It is a condition of your membership that you acknowledge and agree:
      (a) you may be eligible to participate in promotions as offered by us from time to time, including but not limited to, Bonus Draws;
      (b) we reserve the right to enter you into such promotions based on the information provided by you as part of your registration for membership in accordance with any terms and/or conditions of the promotion; and
      (c) where you are entered into any promotion by us, you accept and agree to the terms and/or conditions of that promotion.
    2. Your entry into a promotion offered by us is not guaranteed, as you may be required to provide us with additional information to confirm your eligibility.
    3. You acknowledge that eligibility criteria for Bonus Draws and other promotions may differ from the eligbility of these Membership Terms.  We reserve the right to amend or discontinue Bonus Draws or any other promotion at any time with no notice to you.
    4. To access a copy of the Bonus Draw terms and conditions, visit www.thelott.com
       
  5. Prizes:
    Prizes registered to a Tatts Card can only be claimed if you present the relevant Tatts Card (i.e. the same Tatts Card as was used to register the entry). We may additionally request either a statutory declaration of ownership or the original entry ticket be produced prior to the payment of any prize registered on a Tatts Card.
    1. A prize registered on your Tatts Card (other than a Division 1 prize,  1st prize or Lucky Lotteries Jackpot prize) and not claimed within 4 weeks of the relevant draw date will be paid, at our election, or at your election if you have a linked Product Account in any one of the following ways:
      (a) by crediting the then recorded Product Account which you have linked to your Tatts Card (but only if you are an unrestricted member, that is, only if your identity, age and place of residence have been verified in accordance with our identification procedures);
      (b) by remittance in Australian dollars through a bank account nominated by you with an Australian branch of a bank carrying on business in Australia;
      (c) by cheque to you and forwarded by ordinary post to the address recorded for you on our lottery system file.
      Prizes in respect of multi-week entries will be paid approximately four weeks after the draw date of the last entry recorded on that lottery ticket.
    2. If a Division 1 prize, 1st prize or a Lucky Lotteries Jackpot prize is registered to your Tatts Card, we will attempt to contact you by email or telephone by the end of the next business day after the draw date, on the email address or telephone number registered to the Tatts Card.
    3. Division 1 prizes, a 1st prize or a Lucky Lotteries Jackpot prize (other than a 1st Prize for Set for Life which will be paid in accordance with the relevant Rules) will be paid, at our election, either by electronic funds transfer into an account with an Australian branch of a bank carrying on business in Australia, [or by cheque in person at our offices], or, if we agree (at our absolute discretion) to a request by you, by cheque forwarded by registered or express post to the address then registered to the Tatts Card.
    4. A nominal handling fee (which may include postage costs and a processing fee) inclusive of GST may be deducted from prize payments made by electronic funds transfer, cheque, or such other manner as we determine. We will provide you with notice of the introduction of a new, or increase of any fee, at least 30 days before the change. If we incur any fees as a result of prize payment due to your action or inaction, we may deduct the value of the fee from any Prize.
       
  6. Prize claims:
    Prize winning lottery tickets are bearer documents and any prize payment by us to a person surrendering a winning lottery ticket shall discharge any liability we have in respect of that winning lottery ticket, irrespective of whether the lottery ticket is registered to a particular Tatts Card or not.

  7. Mistake:
    Notwithstanding anything else in the Membership Terms, if a prize is registered to your Tatts Card by mistake (e.g. if you are not the true owner of the ticket but the ticket has been mistakenly registered to your Tatts Card) and we pay you the prize, you are to reimburse us the amount of that prize upon demand. Where it comes to our attention that we have paid you a prize in error, we will notify you as soon as possible.

  8. Personal details:
    It is your responsibility to ensure that the personal details (including the details of any Product Account linked to your Tatts Card), your bank account details and address provided to us by you for recording on our lottery system file are correct, complete and accurate at all times, and not misleading or likely to mislead. You must promptly notify us of all changes. In order to effect some changes, you may be required to complete a change of details form made available by us. You acknowledge that we rely on this information provided by you to, amongst other things, process your prize payments.

  9. Availability of internet services:
    The accessibility and operation of the Tatts Card membership program relies on internet technologies outside of our control. We do not guarantee continuous accessibility, uninterrupted operation or any particular standard of performance of this service.

  10. Ownership of a Tatts Card:
    The Tatts Card remains our property. We reserve the right to withdraw the card and terminate the Tatts Card membership program at any time and to pay out any prize moneys which may be outstanding, in accordance with the Rules, by giving you at least 30 days’ notice. You may continue to use your Tatts Card in accordance with the Membership Terms during the notice period.

  11. Breaches:
    If you have committed a material breach of any of the Membership Terms, including for example, if we become aware or reasonably believe that your Tatts Card may have been used to facilitate or is connected with unlawful, suspicious or fraudulent transactions or has been misused, or been subject to unauthorised use we may, without limitation to such other rights and remedies we may have, terminate your membership. We will notify you as soon as possible of the termination without any requirement to outline the reasons for such cancellation.

  12. Liability:
    We assume no responsibility or liability for lost or stolen tickets and under no circumstances shall registration as a Tatts Card member entitle a person to whom a winning ticket is registered to claim a prize previously paid by us to a person surrendering a winning ticket to us or a Tatts NT Outlet. If your ticket is lost or stolen you should tell us immediately. If you tell us in adequate time and before the prize is claimed, we may be able to stop payment of the prize.
    1. Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.  For major failures with the service, you are entitled:
      (a) to cancel your service contract with us; and
      (b) to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.
      You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.  If the failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have problems with the service recitified in a reasonable time and, if this is not done, to cancel your contract and obtain a refund for the unused portion of the contract. 
    2. Except to the extent that guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law cannot be excluded we will not be liable for any errors or omissions in respect of numbers stored on our lottery system or any inability to record or retrieve numbers stored on your Tatts Card or to otherwise access our lottery system for any purpose, save to the extent that such errors, omissions or inabilities arise from our negligence or wilful misconduct or that of any of our officers, employees or agents. It remains your responsibility to check that numbers and/or entry details recorded on lottery tickets are correct at the time of issue.
    3. Except to the extent that guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law cannot be excluded, Tatts Card membership is at your own risk and you relieve us of any liability to you whatsoever (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for any loss or damage suffered by you as a result of your membership or as a result of your use or attempted use or reliance on any information, service or facility provided to you as a Tatts Card member, save to the extent that such loss or damage arises from our negligence or wilful misconduct (or that of any of our officers, employees or agents).
