9.18         We have the right to have any of your Zeux Cards or Account blocked or suspended on reasonable grounds relating to the security thereof or the suspected unauthorised use thereof.

If you request to have a Payment Transaction executed on a specific day, on the last day of a certain period, or on the day on which you put funds at the disposal of the relevant Service Provider, your Instruction for that Payment Transaction will be deemed to have been received on that day so requested (the "agreed day").

9.23         You are not allowed to revoke an Instruction after it has been received in accordance with clause 9.23, except that:

a)              in the case of Zeux initiating any Payment Transactions on your behalf, you are not allowed to revoke the order for the execution of that Payment Transaction after you have Instructed Zeux to initiate it, and

b)              in the case of your Instruction being received on the agreed day as mentioned in clause 9.23, you are not allowed to revoke such an Instruction after the end of the Business Day preceding that agreed day.

You may be charged, at our discretion, a fee for revoking the relevant Instruction under this clause 4.6.

9.24         Your Instruction may be refused, in which case the reason for such refusal will be provided to you, unless doing so would compromise reasonable security measures of would be otherwise unlawful. You may be charged, at our discretion, a fee for such refusal where the refusal is reasonably justified.

Processing payments

9.25         For the purposes of this section, "In-Scope Transaction" refers to any Payment Transaction that is to be:

a)              executed wholly within the qualifying area in Euro under a payment scheme which operates across the qualifying area,

b)              executed wholly within the United Kingdom in sterling, or

c)               executed wholly under a payment scheme which operates across the qualifying area and involving only currency exchange between the Euro and sterling, and for which the currency exchange is carried out in the United Kingdom and the cross-border transfer (if applicable) takes place in Euro;

and "Out-Scope Transaction" refers to a Payment Transaction that is not an In-Scope Transaction.

9.26         There are specific execution time and value date requirements, under the Payment Services Regulations, applicable to the In-Scope Transaction and certain Out-Scope Transaction, which vary depending on whether you act as the payer or the payee. The execution time and value date will be notified to you separately via the Zeux App with respect to each Payment Transaction.

9.27         For clarity, we make no guarantee or assurance that the beneficiary's payment service provider will make the funds available to the beneficiary on the day that it receives them.

9.28         If you Instruct us to initiate a Payment Transaction on your behalf, the non-execution or defective or late execution of that Payment Transaction is a matter solely between you and your other payment service provider where the relevant account is held, provided that we can prove that within our sphere of influence the Payment Transaction was authenticated, accurately recorded and not affected by any technical breakdown or other deficiency linked to such non-execution, defective or late execution.

9.29         When executing certain Payment Transactions such as wire transfers, we are required under the Money Laundering Regulations to send to the beneficiary's payment service provider certain of your information, including without limitation, your name, address, and Client Account number. You expressly consent to us sending this information, directly or (if there is any intermediary involved in the payment chain) indirectly, to the beneficiary's payment service provider.

9.30         We may at our discretion refuse to execute or suspend the execution of, any Payment Transaction if: (i) you have not satisfied your obligations under these Terms and Conditions (including a failure by you to provide accurate and complete Instruction); (ii) you do not have sufficient funds in your Account; or (iii) we believe on reasonable grounds that the Payment Transaction may be unlawful or that any crime such as fraud is being committed with respect to the Payment Transaction. In these circumstances, we will promptly notify you and explain, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the reasons for our refusal as well as the procedure for rectifying the matter that led to the refusal. We may at our discretion charge you a fee to cover our reasonable costs for doing this. For clarity, we may be prohibited under Applicable Law from notifying you of our refusal to execute a proposed Payment Transaction and if so, we will have no obligation to do so.

9.31         You must notify us without undue delay and in any event no later than One (1) week (in the case of you not being a Consumer, Micros-Enterprise or Charity) or 3 months (in any other case), after the debit date, if you believe that: (i) an Instruction is sent to us without your consent or authorisation; (ii) a Payment Transaction has been otherwise executed without your authorisation/consent; or (iii) a Payment Transaction has been executed incorrectly, defectively or failed to be executed.  If you are late in notifying us, you will not be able to claim the relevant protection under the Payment Services Regulation for any such event, and we will not be liable for any loss you incur.  We may at our discretion assist you in recovering or tracing the relevant Payment Transaction, but we may charge you a fee for providing such assistance.

9.32         If your Payment Transaction involves currency exchange, we will confirm the rate of exchange with you at the time of the Payment Transaction. This generally means that once the payment you send to us is confirmed by us, the exchange rate will be fixed at that time and you will not be exposed to the fluctuation of the relevant exchange rate other than by reason of any Force Majeure Event. You acknowledge that: (i) we are only able to confirm exchange rates during the opening hours of the relevant currency market; (ii) we may provide indicative or reference exchange rates outside such hours; and (iii) the actual exchange rate for the Payment Transaction may be different from the indicative/reference rates. In the event of any changes in the relevant exchange rates and notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions, you agree that these may be applied immediately and without notice where any such changes are based on the indicative or reference exchange rates already provided to you, or the changes are more favourable to you.

10.            Fees and Charges

10.1         You must pay the fees and charges as set out in Schedules 2 and 4, as applicable, in return for the provision of the Services to you.

10.2         With respect to any Payment Transaction, we will not deduct any fees or charges payable by you from the amount of that Payment Transaction except that if you are the beneficiary of that Payment Transaction, you agree that we may at our discretion deduct the relevant fees or charges from the amount of that Payment Transaction before crediting it to you; if we do so, we will provide a breakdown of the fees or charges so deducted and the amount of the Payment Transaction credited to you.

10.3         The beneficiary's payment service provider, or where one or more intermediaries are involved in the processing of a Payment Transaction (such as an international transfer), such intermediaries, may deduct a charge or fee from the amount received. You confirm and agree that you will be liable for any such charges or fees. We will ensure, to the extent possible, that such charges are disclosed to you prior to us executing the Payment Transaction. You should ensure that you clearly specify how third-party fees and charges should be treated when providing us with any Payment Order. We will not under any circumstances be liable for any direct or indirect losses that results from any such third-party fees or charges.

Annex 2.2

Additional Terms and Conditions for Card Schemes cards issued by Modulr FS Ltd

1.              General/Card Issuance

These Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) apply to you (“Cardholder”, “you”, “your”) as the holder of the personal, non-transferable Card Schemes branded, physical card (the “Card”) issued by Modulr FS Ltd. (“Issuer”, “we”, “us”, “our”) an FCA authorised Electronic Money Institution (FRN 900573), a company registered in England and Wales under company number 09897957, with Registered Office at 1 Hammersmith Broadway, London, United Kingdom, W6 9DL issuer of electronic money (“e-money”).

The Cardholder shall be deemed to accept the Agreement by using the Card. The Card shall remain the property of the Issuer and will be delivered by the Issuer or, on behalf of the Issuer, by a third party. The Cardholder is liable for paying all the applicable fees arising from using the Card under this Agreement. The Card charges and fee table (” Table”) is set out below.

If you have requested a physical payment card, the Card will be sent to you by post. You must keep it in a safe place and protect it against unauthorised access or use by third parties. You will be required to activate your card by following the instructions received with your card. The Agreement, excluding Section 5, will terminate on the expiry date printed on the Card (“Expiry Date”) unless the card is auto-renewed. In this instance the T&C’s will remain valid unless the Card is cancelled. The Cardholder shall inform the Card Distributor immediately and in writing of any changes to its personal data or address.

2.              Validity/Spending Limit

The Card shall remain valid until the Expiry Date. If you receive a physical payment card, you must sign the Card as soon as you receive it. If the Card is replaced, the balance of the old Card shall be transferred to the new Card, after the deduction of any applicable fees, as indicated in the Table below. Any available funds on the Card do not earn any interest.  We have the right to review and change the loading and spending limits on the Card at any time and will notify you accordingly.

3.              Use of Card

The Card can only be used up to the amount of the funds available in your account. Should the amount nevertheless be exceeded, you shall repay the excess amount immediately and in full to us. It is your responsibility to ensure that there are sufficient funds on the account to cover any spend, allowing for any foreign exchange fees and other applicable fees and charges under the Agreement. In order to start using the Card, you may be required to activate it as instructed on the card carrier.

You may purchase goods and services from affiliated merchants, by giving the Card details to the merchant over the Internet or telephone or using (for physical cards) the PIN or for lower amounts by using a contactless facility if your card displays the contactless identifier, (programme/merchant dependent). Depending on your card programme you may or may not use the Card for cash back facilities offered by some merchants. You should memorise and destroy the PIN-holder when you receive it. If you need to write the PIN down for future reference, you must never keep it with the Card nor disclose it to anyone, not even us. If you have not protected your PIN and your Card is used without your knowledge using the correct PIN, this may be classed as negligence for the purposes of Section 6.

We will be entitled to assume that a transaction has been authorised by You where (i) the magnetic strip on the Card was swiped by the retailer or the Card was inserted into a chip & PIN device; (ii) the PIN was entered or a sales slip was signed; (iii) relevant information was supplied to the merchant [or a payment initiation service provider] that allows them to process the transaction, for example, providing the retailer with the 3-digit security code on the back of the Card in the case of an internet or other non face-to-face transaction; or (iv) the Card is tapped against a Contactless-enabled reader and accepted by such reader.

Should your Card Scheme or programme allow, you may also withdraw (with your physical card) cash advances from authorised banks worldwide, use your card for cash back (programme/merchant dependent), or with the Card and the PIN, you may also make cash withdrawals from automatic teller machines (ATMs). The amount in cash that may be withdrawn shall be set by us in each individual case, irrespective of the Card spending limit. We may charge a fee for withdrawals of cash as indicated in the Table. [Some ATMs may charge an additional fee, which is not included in the Table, however, will apply on top of the fees set out in the Table below.]

As instructed by the merchant, by signing the appropriate voucher when using the Card, by using the PIN or the contactless facility, or by giving the Card details to the merchant over the Internet or telephone, you acknowledge the correctness of the amount and authorise the transaction. 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 the Agreement.

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 your account. We will execute the transaction by crediting the account of the merchant’s bank (or other 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.

We reserve the right not to honour any transactions which do not comply with the Agreement. 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. In particular, you shall not be released from your obligation to pay us the amounts shown on the e-statement in case of any disputes that may arise. The Card is an e-money product and as such it is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. You may only use the Card for lawful transactions.

4.              Processing of Transactions/Transaction Statement

All card transactions are displayed within the mobile application. Each transaction will state the date, time, and transactional amount. For card usage conducted in other currencies (other than the currency of the Card), you shall accept the exchange rate used by Card Scheme. . You may consult information on the applicable exchange rate after such change on the website of Visa Europe using the following link (http://www.visaeurope.com/en/cardholders/exchange_rates.aspx), or a link to which it refers. Changes in the exchange rate more favourable for you, are applied without prior notification.

5.              Redemption

Upon the expiry of the Card and termination of the Agreement, you may redeem all of the available funds on the Card free of charge, however, if you terminate the Agreement and make a redemption request before the Expiry Date, you will be charged a redemption fee in accordance with section 15. If you request redemption of the entire remaining balance, we will assume that it is your intention to terminate the Agreement and will cancel the Card.

We will deduct any redemption fee payable to us from the available funds on the Card and will normally issue a cheque made payable to you (posted to the address we have on record for you) or make an electronic transfer to a bank account that you nominate for the amount of the remaining available funds on the Card following the deduction of the redemption fee. We will not complete your redemption request if we believe you have provided false information, we are concerned about the security of a transaction, if the Card is not in good standing, or if there are insufficient available funds to cover the redemption fee.

If for any reason you have some available funds left following the termination of the Agreement, you may redeem them in full up to 6 years following the termination. As long as there are available funds, we will charge you an administrative fee for maintaining the funds in accordance with section 9 and a redemption fee if you request redemption more than one year after the termination.

We will only redeem funds to a European Economic Area bank account under your name and only after you demonstrate, to our satisfaction, that you are the holder of the account.

6.              Loss of the Card/Transaction Refunds

As soon as you become aware of any loss, theft, misappropriation, or unauthorised use of the Card, PIN, or other security details, you must notify Zeux as soon as possible by emailing support@zeux.com with the subject line “Unauthorised/Lost/Stolen card” and incident details. To deal with your incident, securely and effectively, you will be required to verify your identity.  In the event of theft, you must also report the theft to the police.

 In the event a Physical Card is lost or stolen, we shall also immediately notify Modulr Customer Services. Modulr will replace the lost or stolen Physical Card in accordance with the Modulr Account Terms and Conditions.

For certain Card types, Modulr can provide a Cardholder with an emergency replacement of a lost or stolen Physical Card (“Emergency Card Replacement”). The Cardholder must inform us and we will contact Modulr on the Cardholders behalf, and Modulr shall provide Cardholder with a temporary Emergency Card Replacement in accordance with the rules set out by the Card Scheme, either by courier (at a cost to Partner Platform) or for pick up at a location designated by Modulr (“Emergency Service Location”) during Modulr’s normal business hours.

In case of non-authorisation of a particular transaction or if a transaction was incorrectly carried out, in order to get a refund, you must contact us as soon as you notice the problem by calling the number in the back of your Card. We will as soon as practicable, (and no later than close of business on the business day after the day the refund was requested) refund any transaction deemed to be unauthorised and any associated transaction fees and charges payable under the Agreement subject to the rest of this section 6. If the refund request is received on a non-business day or after 4:00 pm on a business day, we will make the refund at the beginning of the next business day.

If it is determined that the card was compromised due to negligence on Your part or that You acted in a fraudulent manner a full investigation will take place before any refund can be made. If we are liable for an incorrectly executed transaction, we will refund without undue delay the transaction and any associated transaction fees and charges payable under the Agreement. Depending on the circumstances, we may require you to complete a dispute declaration form. If it is determined that the card was compromised due to negligence on your part, or the outcome of an investigation determines that you have acted in a fraudulent manner, a refund will not be applicable. 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. 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 this Agreement. 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.

We execute transactions in accordance with the transaction detail received. Where the detail was provided to us by you and it was incorrect, we will not be liable for incorrectly executing the transaction, but we will make reasonable efforts to recover the funds involved. In such a case we may charge you a reasonable fee to cover our administration costs, of which we will notify you in advance.

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 Card with the relevant amount of any associated fees and charges so that you will not be at a loss.

We will limit your liability to £35 for any losses incurred in respect of unauthorised transactions subject to the following:

    (i) 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 the Agreement; or (b) notify us of the problem in accordance with this section 6.

    (ii) Except where you have acted fraudulently, you will not be liable for any losses: (a) incurred in respect of an unauthorised transaction which arise after your notification to us; (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 but fail to do so. We are required to provide Strong Customer Authentication when you access online account, either directly 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 when you carry out any action through a remote channel which may imply a risk of payment fraud or other abuses. Where “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”); it is used to make transactions more secure.

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.
In certain circumstances we may refuse to complete a transaction that you have authorised. These circumstances include:

  • if we have reasonable concerns about the security of the Card or suspect the Card is being used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner;
  • 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 Card;
  • if we have reasonable grounds to believe you are acting in breach of the Agreement;
  • if there are errors, failures (mechanical or otherwise) or refusals by merchants, payment processors or payment schemes processing transactions, or
  • if we are required to do so by law.

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 Refusal Fee when we notify you that your payment request has been refused.

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, the Agreement, and the relevant circumstances.

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.              Blocking of the Card

We may block the Card, in which case you will not be able to use it for any 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 on our behalf 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.

8.              Data Protection

Modulr FS Ltd is the data controller and shall process your personal data as permitted under the Data Protection Act 2018 and in accordance with their Privacy Policy.

The above-mentioned Partner and the Card Distributor may use a recognised agency for this verification purposes (details of the agency used will be provided to you on request).

2. ACCOUNT & CARD LIMITS

2.1 Limits may apply to the balance on your Account at any time, the  maximum value of an individual payment Transaction, maximum Virtual Transaction value per  Card‎, the maximum aggregate value of all payment Transactions made from your Account or Cards in a particular time period e.g. during any one Business Day and the maximum number of payment Transactions made from your Account over a particular timeframe.  ‎ Your Cards may also have certain Card Transaction types disabled, such as cash withdrawals at an ATM.‎

2.2 The limits and restrictions that apply to your Account and Card‎ will be communicated to you during the Account set-up process and/or before the Card is issued to you (as applicable).  These limits may also change over time based on your Account and/or Card‎ usage; any such change will be communicated to you.  You can check the limits at any time by contacting Customer Services. You should not make a payment Transaction request which exceeds such. 

2.3 From time to time a Card Transaction may be authorised which exceeds the limit or restriction applicable to your Account or ‎Card, for example when it is used in an offline environment for example but not limited to payments for or on transport (purchases ‎on a train, aeroplane, underground  or toll  payments). In such circumstance, a negative balance on your Account may occur.  In this ‎case the process in paragraphs 5.12 to 5.14 inclusive will apply.‎

‎2.4 Certain Merchants may require verification that the funds held on your Account will cover the Card Transaction amount and will ‎place a “pre-authorisation” on your Card. This amount will be unavailable to you until the Card Transaction is completed or released ‎by the Merchant. The pre-authorisation allows the Merchant up to 30 days to claim and settle any funds owed to them from the ‎Card. Examples include but are not limited to hotels and rental cars. If there are insufficient funds available on your Account, Modulr ‎must still make this settlement, which may result in a negative balance on your Account. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.12 ‎to 5.14 inclusive will apply.‎

2.5 To manage our risk, particularly with respect to money laundering, fraud or security concerns, we also apply internal controls, including limits, to certain types of payment. We change these as necessary but for security purposes, we do not disclose them.

You agree that once we make this negative balance known to you, we will charge you the amount of ‎negative balance and you must repay it immediately.

Until we are reimbursed this negative balance amount, we may arrange for your ‎Account, including Card(s) to be suspended. We may also report the negative balance to credit reference agencies.‎

‎5.13 Where a negative balance arises because of an error on the part of a Merchant where the Card Transaction occurred, we will ‎seek to recover the negative balance amount from the Merchant.‎

‎5.14 Where a negative balance arises because of an error on the part of the recipient of the payment or us, we will seek to recover ‎the negative balance amount from the person who made the error.‎

5.15 The Available Balance on your Account will not earn any interest.
