            (a)         by a notice in writing setting out particulars of the term or condition concerned (which may be a reference to the Rules or directions) and served on the licensee; or

            (b)         by being endorsed on the licence or exemption or being included, or so referred to, in a revised version,

                as the CEO may require, but no such term or condition shall have effect in so far as it may be inconsistent with the Rules for the time being.

        (3)         The CEO at any time may, on the application of the licensee or the licence supervisor, vary the terms of, or revoke, a licence or any condition other than a condition imposed by section 33.
