and to only
make these donations as agreed with the Charity and set out in your donation agreement.
5.1.2.
Donations can only be made in GBP pound

5.2.
You can authorise a Transaction by:
5.2.1.
inserting the Card into a chip & PIN device and the correct PIN
being entered;
5.2.2.
providing relevant information to the merchant that allows the merchant
to process the Transaction, for example, providing the merchant with the PAN,

non-face-to-face Transaction;

relevant information being provided to the payment initiation service
provider that allows the payment initiation service provider to process the
Transaction;
5.2.4.
the Card is tapped against a “contactless” enabled reader and accepted
by such reader.
5.3.
If any of the methods of authorisation set out in section 5.2 are used, we
shall be entitled to assume that you have authorised a Transaction unless we
were informed that the relevant details of the Card have been lost, stolen or
misappropriated prior the Transaction taking place.
5.4.
You acknowledge the correctness of the amount of each Transaction which
you authorise.
5.5.
Once you have authorised a Transaction, the Transaction cannot be
stopped or revoked. You may in certain circumstances be entitled to a refund in
accordance with these Terms.
5.6.
On receipt of notification of your authorisation of a Transaction and
the Transaction payment order from the merchant and/or authorised bank,
normally we will deduct the value of the Transaction, plus any applicable fees
and charges, from the available funds in the Account. We will execute the
Transaction by crediting the account of the merchant’s payment service provider
by the end of the next business day following the notification. If the
notification is received on a non-business day or after 4:30 pm on a business
day, it will be deemed received on the next business day.
5.7.
We are not liable if, for any reason, the affiliated merchants or
authorised banks do not accept the Card, or accept it only partly, nor are we
liable in the case of late delivery of, or failure to deliver, goods or
services. In the event of disputes or complaints of any kind concerning goods
or services, or the exercise of any right in this connection, you should
contact the affiliated merchant and/or authorised bank.
5.8.
It is your responsibility to ensure that there are available funds in
your Account to cover any spend, allowing for any applicable fees under these
Terms. Should the Account at any time and for any reason have a negative
balance, you shall repay the excess amount immediately and in full.
5.9.
We and the Distributor have the right to review and change the spending
limits on the Card at any time. You will be notified of any such changes via
the Distributor’s Website and/or the Distributor’s App.
6.
Non-execution of a Transaction
6.1.
In certain circumstances we may refuse to execute a Transaction that
you have authorised. These circumstances include:
6.1.1.
if we have reasonable concerns about the security of the Card or
suspect the Card is being used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner;
6.1.2.
if there are insufficient funds available to cover the Transaction and
all associated fees at the time that we receive notification of the Transaction
or if there is an outstanding shortfall on the balance of the Account;
6.1.3.
if we have reasonable grounds to believe you are acting in breach of
these Terms;
6.1.4.
if there are errors, failures (mechanical or otherwise) or refusals by
merchants, payment processors or payment schemes processing Transactions, or
6.1.5.
if we are required to do so by law.
6.2.
Unless it would be unlawful for us to do so, where we refuse to
complete a Transaction, 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, we may charge you fee when we notify you that your payment request has been
refused.
6.3.
You may also claim a refund for a Transaction that you authorised
provided that your authorisation did not specify the exact amount when you
consented to the Transaction, and the amount of the Transaction exceeded the
amount that you could reasonably have expected it to be taking into account
your previous spending pattern on the Card, these Terms and the relevant
circumstances.
6.4.
Such a refund must be requested from us within 8 weeks of the amount
being deducted from the Card. 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.
7.
Access to information on Transactions and available funds in the
Account
7.1.
The Distributor has set up a secure area on the Distributor’s Website
and on the Distributor’s App where you can view the available balance in your
Account and view the details of any Transactions you have entered into. You can
gain access to this by following the instructions on the Distributor’s Website
or the Distributor’s App. You must keep the credentials to obtain access to the
secure areas safe and not disclose them to anyone.
7.2.
We can, upon request, send you monthly information (“e-statement”) by
email setting out:
7.2.1.
a reference enabling you to identify each Transaction;
7.2.2.
the amount of each Transaction;
7.2.3.
the currency in which the Card is debited;
7.2.4.

applicable;
7.2.5.
the exchange rate used in the Transaction by us and the amount of the Transaction
after the currency conversion, where applicable; and
7.2.6.
the Transaction debit value date.
If you would like us to
provide you with the e-statement more often than monthly or not by email (or if
agreed differently under this section 7, more often than agreed or in a
different manner than agreed) then we may charge you a reasonable
administration fee to cover our costs of providing the information more often
or in a different manner.
7.3.
If for any reason you have some available funds left in your Account
following the termination of these Terms, they shall be returned to the
Distributor.
8.
Loss of the Card / Transaction refunds
8.1.
As soon as you become aware of any loss, theft, misappropriation or
unauthorised use of the Card, PIN or other security details, you must
immediately notify us using the contact details set out in section 2.7.
8.2.
In the event of theft, you should consider reporting the theft to the
police.
8.3.
If we believe you did not authorise a particular Transaction or that a
Transaction was incorrectly carried out, in order to get a refund
you must contact us as soon as you notice the problem using the contact details
set out in section 2.7, and in any case no later than 13 months after the
amount of the Transaction has been deducted from your Account.
8.4.
We will refund any unauthorised Transaction and any associated
Transaction fees and charges payable under these Terms subject to the rest of
this section 8.
8.5.
This refund shall be made as soon as practicable and
in any event no later than the end of the business day following the day
on which we become aware of the unauthorised Transaction, unless we have
reasonable grounds to suspect fraudulent behaviour and notify the appropriate
authorities. If we become aware of the unauthorised Transaction on a non-business
day or after 4:30 pm on a business day, we will be deemed to have only become
aware of the unauthorised Transaction at the beginning of the next business
day.
8.6.
If we are liable for an incorrectly executed Transaction, we will
immediately refund you the amount of the incorrectly executed Transaction
together with and any associated Transaction fees and charges payable under
these Terms. Depending on the circumstances, we may require you to complete a
dispute declaration form relating to the incorrectly executed Transaction. We
may conduct an investigation either before or after any refund has been
determined or made. We will let you know as soon as possible the outcome of any
such investigation.
8.7.
If a Transaction initiated by a merchant (for example, this happens
when you use the Card in a shop) has been incorrectly executed and we receive
proof from the merchant’s payment service provider that we are liable for the
incorrectly executed Transaction, we will refund as appropriate and immediately
the Transaction and any associated Transaction fees and charges payable under
these Terms.
8.8.
We are not liable for any incorrectly executed Transactions if we can
show that the payment was actually received by the merchant’s payment service
provider, in which case they will be liable.
8.9.
If you receive a late payment from another payment service provider (e.g. a refund from a retailer’s bank) via us, we will credit
the Account with the relevant amount of any associated fees and charges so that
you will not be at a loss.
8.10.
We will limit your liability to Ł35 for any losses incurred in respect
of unauthorised Transactions subject to the following:
8.10.1.
you will be liable for all losses incurred in respect of an unauthorised
Transaction if you have acted fraudulently, or have intentionally or with gross
negligence failed to: (a) look after and use the Card in accordance with these
Terms; or (b) notify us of the problem in accordance with this section 8;
8.10.2.
except where you have acted fraudulently, you will not be liable for
any losses:
(a)
incurred in respect of an unauthorised Transaction which arises after
your notification to us of the loss, theft or misappropriation of the Card;
(b)
arising where you have used the Card in a distance contract, for
example, for an online purchase;
(c)
arising where the loss, theft or misappropriation of the Card was not
detectable by you before the unauthorised Transaction took place;
(d)
where we have failed to provide you with the appropriate means of notification;
(e)
arising where we are required by law (anticipated to apply from 14
September 2019) to apply Strong Customer Authentication (as defined in section
8.11) but fail to do so;
(f)
the losses were caused by an act or omission of any employee, agent or
branch of ours or any entity which carries out activities on our behalf.
8.11.
“Strong Customer Authentication” means authentication based on the use
of two or more elements that are independent, in that the breach of one element
does not compromise the reliability of any other element, and designed in such
a way as to protect the confidentiality of the authentication data, with the
elements falling into two or more of the following categories: (a) something
known only by you (“knowledge”), (b) something held only by you (“possession”);
(c) something inherent to you (“inherence”). Strong Customer Authentication it
is used to make Transactions more secure.
8.12.
We are required to provide Strong Customer Authentication when:
8.12.1.
you view the available balance on your Account either through the
Distributor’s Website or the Distributor’s App and/or through an account
information service provider (“AISP”);

when you initiate an electronic Transaction, directly [or when you
initiate a remote electronic Transaction through a payment initiation service
provider (“PISP”)]; or
8.12.3.
when you carry out any action through a remote channel which may imply
a risk of payment fraud or other abuses.
8.13.
If our investigations show that any disputed Transaction was authorised
by you or 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.
9.
Blocking of the Card
We may block the
Card, in which case you will not be able to execute any further Transactions,
if we have reasonable concerns about the security of the Card or suspect the
Card is being used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner. We will notify you
of any such blocking 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 unblock the Card
and, where appropriate, issue a new Card, PIN and other security features free
of charge as soon as practicable once the reasons for the suspension cease to
exist.

SERVICES
5.1.
As part of the Services, we shall issue
you with Electronic Money upon receipt of money from you or a third party on
your behalf, store your Electronic Money and redeem Electronic Money both on
your express instruction and in accordance with this Agreement and the
agreement of the Kolyom Trust.

ISSUING
ELECTRONIC MONEY TO YOU
6.1.
Where we receive money from you or on
your behalf, this money will be held by us in the relevant Safeguarded Account
in exchange for the issuance by us to you of Electronic Money. Your funds
will not be used by us for any other purpose and in the unlikely event that we
become insolvent, your e-money is protected in an EEA-authorised credit
institution or the Bank of England.
6.2.
When we issue you with Electronic
Money, us holding the funds corresponding to the Electronic Money is not the
same as a Bank holding your money in that (i) we cannot and will not use the
funds to invest or lend to other persons or entities; (ii) the Electronic Money
will not accrue interest and (iii) the Electronic Money is not a deposit and is
therefore not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme but it is
held by us and protected in the relevant Safeguarded Account.
6.3.
You may hold Electronic Money and we
may hold funds corresponding to your Electronic Money indefinitely. However, if
we hold Electronic Money for you for more than two years without any activity on the account, we shall use reasonable
endeavours to contact you to redeem the Electronic Money and return the
corresponding funds to you. If we are unable to contact you, we may redeem the
Electronic Money and send the corresponding funds, less any of our costs
incurred, to the last known bank account we have on file for you.
6.4.
We accept no responsibility in the
event that you send money to the incorrect account.
6.5.
We do not accept cash or cheques. We
accept monies via a variety of methods of electronic funds transfer to our bank
account, the details of which we shall provide to you upon request.
7.
GENERAL
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
7.1.
Where we and another person (such as a
payment services provider) are liable to you in respect of the same matter or
item, you agree that our liability to you will not be increased by any
limitation of liability you have agreed with that other person or because of
your inability to recover from that other person beyond what our liability
would have been had no such limitation been agreed and/or if that other
person had paid his or its share.
7.2.
Where any loss, liability, cost or
expense (a “Loss”) is suffered by you for which we would otherwise be jointly
and severally or jointly liable with any third party or third parties, the
extent to which such Loss shall be recoverable by you from us (as opposed to
any third parties) shall be limited so as to be in proportion to the aggregate
of our contribution to the overall fault for such Loss, as agreed between all
of the relevant parties or, in the absence of agreement, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. For the purposes of assessing the contribution
to the Loss in question of any third party for the purposes of this clause, no
account shall be taken of any limit imposed or agreed on the amount of
liability of such third party by any agreement (including any settlement
agreement) made before or after such Loss occurred or was otherwise incurred.
7.3.
Nothing in this Agreement limits or
excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or
for any damage or liability incurred by you as a result of fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation by us or to the extent that the liability may not be excluded
or limited by any applicable law.

this Agreement is legally enforceable. For a
contract to be legally enforceable, there needs to be an offer, acceptance, and
consideration. This Agreement constitutes our offer to make the Services

you becoming a client, you promise to pay us the sum of onePound sterling, upon demand from us, as consideration.

delay in enforcing under this Agreement, we can still enforce it later. If we do not
insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under this

and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

venture between you and us, or authorise either party to act as agent for the
other, and neither party shall have the authority to act in the name or on

rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your
