Thank you for supporting the Wichita Art Museum’s Northern Italy Getaway (the “Raffle”), conducted by Wichita Art Museum (“WAM” or “Sponsor”). Your purchase of one or more raffle ticket(s) signifies your full and unconditional agreement to the following Terms & Conditions.

In the event of any dispute, a reasonable interpretation or determination by the WAM regarding the application of these Terms & Conditions is final and binding in all matters related to the Raffle.

How to Enter

• Participants can enter the Raffle by purchasing tickets at a cost of $1,000 per ticket. Multiple tickets can be purchased by a single participant. A maximum of 300 tickets will be available for purchase.

• Tickets may be purchased at www.wam.org. Persons must provide all required information to be eligible to enter and win. Incomplete, illegible, corrupted, or untimely entries are void and will be disqualified.

• A ticket represents a chance to win the opportunity to accept an offer of the stated prize. All sales of tickets are final, and no refunds will be paid, except in WAM’s sole and absolute discretion.

• Tickets, prizes, receipts, and any winner’s rights are not transferable.

• Sponsor reserves the right to reject any ticket reservation request that is submitted with payment that does not constitute “good funds.” A ticket issued in exchange for a check returned for “insufficient funds,” or for a credit card charge that was declined, invalid, stolen, or unauthorized is void and cannot be a winning ticket.

• The IRS has ruled that a payment for a raffle ticket is a tax-deductible charitable contribution only to the extent the amount of the payment exceeds the price of the ticket.

• All ticket reservations must be received and/or purchased by the indicated deadline. Any orders received after these deadlines will be ineligible. WAM assumes no responsibility for lost, late, misdirected email messages or any other failure to receive orders or deliver receipts prior to the drawing deadlines.

VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW AND OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

Subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances. Tickets may sell out before the date of the raffle drawing. The chances of winning are based on the number of tickets sold. If fewer tickets are sold, the chances of winning the prizes improve.

The Drawing

• The winning ticket for each prize will be selected by a random drawing on the date of the raffle drawing.

WAM will select the name of potential winners of the prizes in a random drawing from all eligible raffle tickets. All tickets have an equal chance to win. Ticket purchasers need not be present to win.

Winners

Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the stated prize is not reasonably available. Travel prizes are subject to availability, and other restrictions may apply.

• The winner of each prize shall have no rights in or to the prize itself until the winner has been verified as eligible by WAM, has timely executed the WNA and returned it to WAM, and until delivery of the prize to the winner has been completed. Until that time, as between WAM and the winner, each prize remains the sole property of Sponsor.
