You may not be able to use Your Card to make purchases from some retailers that have been blocked by Our systems in order to prevent the potential use of cards for unauthorised or unlawful activity.  
 

3.3  The Card is an electronic money (“e-money”) product, regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (“FSC”).  It is a prepaid card not a credit card (as defined in the Debit Cards Law of 1986) and is not linked to Your bank account. You must ensure that You have sufficient Available Funds to pay for each purchase, payment or cash withdrawal using a Card associated with the Account. The Card is intended for use as a means of payment, and funds loaded onto the Account do not constitute a deposit.  You will not earn interest on the balance of the Account.  The Card(s) will expire on the Expiry Date and will cease to work. Please refer to clause 9 of this Agreement for further information regarding expiration

14.4  You will be liable for all losses incurred in respect of an unauthorised transaction or other uses of the Account if: (i) You have acted fraudulently; or (ii) have intentionally or with gross negligence failed to: (a) look after and use Your Card in accordance with the Agreement or the security details of the Account; or (b) notify Us of the problem in accordance with clause 11.1.

​

14.5  Except where You have acted fraudulently, You will not be liable for any losses incurred in respect of an unauthorised transaction: (i) which occurs after Your notification to Us; or (ii) where You have used the Card in a distance contract, for example, for an online purchase.

​

14.6  If Our investigations show that any disputed transaction was authorised by You, You may have acted fraudulently or with gross negligence, We may reverse any refund made and You will be liable for all losses We suffer in connection with the transaction including but not limited to the cost of any investigation carried out by Us in relation to the transaction. We will give You reasonable notice of any reverse refund.  We will charge you a Failed Chargeback Fee if a disputed transaction is investigated and it is established that the money in question was correctly deducted from your Available Funds.

​

14.7  In case of incorrectly executed transactions (or failure to execute transactions) initiated by You as payer, We will be liable to You unless we can prove that the payee’s payment service provider received the correct amount and beneficiary details on time, in which case the payee’s payment service provider will be liable. On Your request, We will make immediate efforts to trace the transaction and notify You by email of the outcome of Our efforts. In the case of incorrectly executed payment transactions (or failure to execute transactions) initiated by the payee, We are liable where the payee’s payment service provider correctly transmitted the payment order to Us. Where We are liable to You in accordance with this clause 14.7, We will, without undue delay, refund the amount of the incorrectly executed transaction and, where applicable, return Your Available Funds to the position they would have been in had the incorrectly executed transaction not taken place, provided that You have notified us without undue delay in accordance with clause 14.1.

​

14.8  In certain circumstances, a transaction will be initiated but not fully completed.  Where this happens, this may result in the value of the transaction being deducted from the Available Funds and therefore unavailable for use – We refer to this as a “hanging authorisation” or “block”.  In these cases, You will need to contact Our Customer Service team in accordance with clause 15 and present relevant evidence to show that the transaction has been cancelled or reversed.

​

14.9  In certain circumstances, We may refuse to complete a transaction that You have authorised.  These circumstances include:

​

14.9.1  if We have reasonable concerns about the security of Your Account or We suspect Your Card(s) is/are being used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner;

​

14.9.2  if there are not sufficient Available Funds to cover the transaction and all associated fees at the time that We receive notification of the transaction;

​

14.9.3  if there is an outstanding shortfall on the balance of Your Account;

​

14.9.4  if We have reasonable grounds to believe You are acting in breach of this Agreement;

 

14.9.5  if there are errors, failures (mechanical or otherwise) or refusals by retailers, payment processors or payment schemes processing transactions; or

​

14.9.6  if We are required to do so by law.

​

14.10  Unless it would be unlawful for Us to do so, where We refuse to complete a transaction for You in accordance with clause 14.9 above, We will notify You as soon as reasonably practicable that it has been refused and the reasons for the refusal, together where relevant, with the procedure for correcting any factual errors that led to the refusal, where the refusal is reasonably justified. 

​

14.11  We may suspend Your Card(s), in which case You will not be able to use it for any transactions, if We have reasonable concerns about the security of Your Account or We suspect Your Card(s) is/are being used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner. We will notify You of any such suspension in advance, or immediately after if this is not possible, and of the reasons for the suspension unless to do so would compromise reasonable security measures or otherwise be unlawful. We will lift the suspension and, where appropriate, issue a new Card(s) free of charge as soon as practicable once the reasons for the suspension cease to exist.

 

14.12  You may claim a refund for a transaction that You authorised provided that: 

​

14.12.1  Your authorisation did not specify the exact amount when You consented to the transaction; and

​

14.12.2  the amount of the transaction exceeded the amount that You could reasonably have expected it to be taking into account the previous spending pattern on the Card, the Agreement and the relevant circumstances.

Such a refund must be requested from Our Customer Services team within 8 weeks of the amount being deducted from the Account. We may require You to provide Us with evidence to substantiate Your claim. Any refund or justification for refusing a refund will be provided within 10 business days of receiving Your refund request or, where applicable, within 10 business days of receiving any further evidence requested by Us. Any refund shall be equal to the amount of the transaction. Any such refund will not be subject to any fee.

16.2.1  where Your Card is faulty due to Our fault, Our liability shall be limited to the replacement of the Card or repayment to You of the Available Funds; or
