2. Your Cardholder Agreement and Card
2.1 Your Card is issued by us pursuant to a licence from the Scheme and your rights and obligations relating to the use of the Card are subject to this Cardholder Agreement.
2.2 You can download or print the latest version of this Cardholder Agreement at any time from the Website and/or request a paper copy from Customer Services.
2.3 If you do not agree with or accept any of these terms and conditions, you should cancel your Card.
3. Activation of your Card
3.1 To apply for, and use a Card, you must be at least 18 and a resident of the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, with the exception of Slovenia, Cyprus, Liechtenstein and Iceland, and you must own or permanently rent a residential property in Spain. The intended purpose of the Account and Cards is to manage living expenses associated with your property in Spain.
3.2 Cards may be ordered via the App.
3.3 You have the option of ordering a Physical Card and two Additional Cards. The Additional Cards may be one Physical and/or one Virtual Card. A maximum of three Cards may be ordered.
3.4 When you receive your Physical Card, you must follow the instructions in the App to activate it.
3.5 Provided we have been able to undertake KYC, you shall receive an activation confirmation by email or on your App and you will be able to use the Card.
3.6 We reserve the right to request further KYC documents and verification of your source of funds at any point.
4. Personal Details
4.1. When entering into Transactions over the internet, some websites may require you to enter your Personal Details and in such instances you should supply the most recent Personal Details that you have provided us with.
4.2. You must notify us of any change in your Personal Details as soon as possible by contacting Customer Services or updating the details in the App. You will be liable for any loss that directly results from any failure to notify us of a change in your Personal Details as a result of undue delay, your gross negligence or fraud. We will need to verify your new Personal Details and may request relevant KYC information/documents from you as applicable.
4.3. We reserve the right at any time to satisfy ourselves as to your Personal Details (for example, by requesting relevant original documents) including for the purposes of preventing fraud and/or money laundering. In addition, at the time of your application or at any time in the future, in connection with your Card, you authorise us to undertake electronic identity verification checks on you either directly or using relevant third parties.
5. Using your Card
5.1. Your use of the Card is subject to the fees and limits detailed in the Fees & Limits Schedule.
5.2. Your Card is to be used to spend the funds on your Account. Please refer to the Account Terms for information on how to receive funds into your Account.
5.3. Unless we inform you otherwise, you can use the Card at any Merchant who accepts the Scheme to carry out Transactions.
5.4. If for any reason a Transaction is carried out but its amount exceeds the Available Balance, you must pay us the deficit immediately, and if you fail to do so after receiving a notification from us, we reserve the right to take all necessary steps, including legal action, to recover this deficit.
5.5. There are certain circumstances where a Merchant may require you to have an Available Balance greater than the value of the Transaction you wish to make and you will only be charged for the actual and final value of the Transaction. Merchants may request this as they may need to access more funds than you initially planned to spend for example, when making hotel or rental car reservations. In the event that a Merchant has prior authorisation on your Card, you will not have access to the relevant funds until the Transaction is completed or, if sooner, up to a period of 30 days. We will only block access to the exact amount of funds authorised by you.
5.6. Your Card cannot be used where such Merchants are unable to obtain online authorisation that you have sufficient Available Balance for the Transaction (for example, Transactions made on trains, ships, some in-flight purchases and tollbooths). We accept no liability if a Merchant refuses to accept payment using the Card.
5.7. We do not recommend using a Virtual Card to purchase an item over the internet that subsequently would require the presentation of a physical Card in order to obtain that item. Examples include certain theatre ticket purchases, hotel stays, car rentals, and online purchases picked up in person.
5.8. You must not use the Card for any illegal purposes.
6. Authorising Card Transactions
6.1. You will need to give your consent to each Transaction so that we can check it is genuine by, where applicable, a) using your PIN or other security code personal to you; b) providing the Card details and/or providing any other details personal to you and/or your Card. Once you have given such consent to the Transaction, it will be deemed to be authorised.
6.2. The time of receipt of a Transaction order is when we receive it.
6.3. Once a Transaction has been authorised by you and received by us, it cannot be revoked.
6.4. Where a Merchant’s payment service provider is located within the EEA and the payment services being carried out are in the currency of an EEA Member State, we shall ensure the cash transfer to the Merchant’s payment service provider within 4 Business Days following the day on which the Transaction order is received.
6.5. Certain Merchants may not accept payments made through the Card and we accept no liability for this: it is your responsibility to check the restrictions of each Merchant.
6.6. Your ability to use or access the Card may occasionally be interrupted, for example if we need to carry out maintenance on our systems or websites. Please contact Customer Services to notify us of any problems you are experiencing using your Card and we will try to resolve these as soon as possible.
7. Additional Cards
7.1. At our sole discretion and provided we have received sufficient KYC information/documents (in accordance with condition 4.3), you may be eligible to apply for up to 2 Additional Cards (one of which may be Physical and the other Virtual) connected directly to your Account, for use by Additional Cardholders. You can request an Additional Card in the App.

8. Managing & Protecting Your Card
8.1. When you request your Physical or Virtual Card on the App, you will be requested to create a PIN. You will need this PIN in order to make cash withdrawals from an ATM or at a bank.
8.2. If you forget your PIN, you can create a new one within the App.
8.3. You must not give your Card to any other person or allow any other person to use it.
8.4. You are responsible for protecting your Card, PIN, Username and Passcode (together your “Security Details”) and must take all possible measures to keep them safe and entirely confidential. Such measures include (but are not limited to):
i. memorising your PIN as soon as you create it;
ii. never writing your PIN on your Card or on anything you usually keep with your Card;
iii. keeping your PIN secret at all times for example, by not using your PIN if anyone else is watching.
8.5 Failure to comply with this condition 8 may affect your ability to claim any losses in the event that we can show that you have intentionally failed to keep the information safe or you have acted fraudulently, with undue delay or with gross negligence. In all other circumstances, your maximum liability shall be as set out below at condition 15.
8.6 If you believe that someone else knows your PIN or Security Details, you must notify us by contacting Customer Services immediately.

12.2. You must contact us without delay by calling us on +34 865 628 733 if you know or suspect that any of your Security Details are lost, stolen, misappropriated or subject to unauthorised use or are known to an unauthorised person or you think that a Transaction has been incorrectly executed.
12.3. If our investigations reveal that you authorised a disputed Transaction or that you acted fraudulently or that you negligently or with intent breached the terms of this Cardholder Agreement (for example, by not keeping your Security Details safe), you may be liable for any loss we suffer due to use of the Security Details.
12.4. Once a loss, theft or unauthorised use of your Card is reported, use of the Card shall be blocked to avoid further losses.

12.7 In the event that you inform us of an unauthorised or incorrectly executed Transaction without undue delay, and in any event no later than 13 months after the debit date, we will assist with any Mastercard refund immediately unless we have any reason to believe that the incident may have been caused by a breach of this Cardholder Agreement, through gross negligence or we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraud.
12.8 In the event of a non-executed or defectively executed Transaction, we will make immediate efforts to trace the Transaction and will notify you of the outcome. We will not charge you for such efforts. In the event that we are liable for such Transaction, we will refund the amount, together with the amount of any resulting charges to which you may be subject, without undue delay.

12.10.2 the amount of the Transaction exceeds the amount that you could have reasonably expected, taking into account your previous spending pattern, the terms of this Cardholder Agreement and the relevant circumstances of the case.

13. Payment Disputes
13.1 If you have a dispute about a Transaction that you have authorised and which has been processed on your Card, you should settle this with the person you bought the goods or services from in the first instance. We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of goods or services purchased with your Card.
13.2 If your dispute with a Merchant relating to a Transaction cannot be resolved you should contact us at Customer Services, and we will attempt to assist you as far as is reasonably practicable.
13.3 If you have reason to believe that a Transaction was carried out without your consent or in error, you may ask us to investigate the Transaction. If we investigate the Transaction, the disputed amount will be unavailable to spend until our investigation is complete and if we receive information that proves the Transaction was genuine, this will be deducted from your Available Balance and we may charge you an investigation fee. If you do not have sufficient Available Balance, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand.
14. Foreign Exchange
14.1 If you use your Card in a currency other than the currency in which your Card is denominated (“Foreign Currency Transaction”), the amount deducted from your Available Balance will be the amount of the Foreign Currency Transaction converted to your Account currency using a rate set by the Scheme. Exchange rates can fluctuate and they may change between the time a Transaction is made and the time it is deducted. You agree that any change to the exchange rate may be applied immediately and without notice to you.
14.2 You may also be charged a foreign exchange Fee as set out in the Fees & Limits Schedule. In order to allow you to compare charges for currency conversion, you can view the real-time percentage difference between the amount that will be charged on your Card for a Foreign Currency Transaction (consisting of the mark-up applied by the Scheme as well as any other charges) and the latest available euro foreign exchange rates issued by the European Central Bank. You can view this information on the Website prior to making a Foreign Currency Transaction. This information will also be sent to you in an SMS or in-app notification after making a relevant Foreign Currency Transaction, where required by applicable law. You are able to opt out of receiving this notification in the App.
