Terms of Service

1. Introduction

These Terms of Services are a legal agreement between you and META Vault Association. They govern your access to and the use of any eligible META Vault Association card (“Card”) when you add, use, or remove a Card in any digital Wallet (“Wallet”) through a respective Compatible Device (“Device”).

It is important that you read and understand these Terms of Service because you will indicate your acceptance of these Terms of Service when enrolling in a Digital Wallet or provisioning one or more Cards for use through all services offered by the Wallet.

2. Other Documents and Agreements

  • Cardholder Agreement (updated)

Use of a Card with a Wallet is governed by your Cardholder Agreement for META Vault Association prepaid cards (“Card Agreement”).

You understand and agree that all the terms and conditions of your Card Agreement, as applicable, form part of these Terms of Service. All references to “Card” in your Card Agreement include the digital card contained in your Wallets. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and the applicable Card Agreement, these Terms of Service will govern to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.

  • Wallet Agreements

Your use of the Wallet and accompanying services may be governed by or may be subject to agreements or terms of use entered into with the respective Wallet provider.

3. Use of Cards in a Wallet

If you want to add a Card to a Wallet, you must follow the procedures adopted by the respective Wallet provider and any instructions provided by Bank, and any further procedures the Wallet provider or META Vault Association adopt. You understand that we may not add a Card to a Wallet if we cannot verify the Card, if your account is not in good standing, or if we otherwise suspect that there may be fraud or fraudulent activity associated with your Card.

 

Wallet providers may allow you to make purchases using an added Card wherever the respective method of payment is accepted. The method of payment in question may not be accepted at all places where your Card is accepted.

4. Removal of Your Card

META Vault Association may not permit the addition of a Card to a Wallet, or may remove, suspend or cancel your access to a Wallet at any time, if we cannot verify the Card, if we suspect that there may be fraud associated with the Card, if your account is not in good standing, if applicable laws change, or for any other reason determined by META Vault Association in its sole discretion.

You may suspend, delete, or reactivate a Card from a Wallet by following the Wallet provider’s procedures for suspension, deletion, or reactivation. In certain circumstances your Card may be suspended or removed from a Wallet by the Wallet provider.

5. Maximum Dollar Limit for Transactions

Visa, MasterCard, or other payment networks, META Vault Association or Participating Merchants may, in their discretion, establish from time to time a maximum dollar limit for a single Transaction that may be completed using a particular Wallet. Different dollar limits may be set for different Wallets. As a result, you may not be able to use a Wallet to complete a Transaction, even if you have met the eligibility requirements for a particular Wallet.

If a Transaction is not completed because it exceeds a maximum dollar limit, we encourage you to use your physical Card instead of your Wallet to complete the Transaction.

6. Applicable Fees

We do not charge you any fees for adding a Card to a Wallet. Please consult your Card Agreement for any applicable fees, interest or other charges associated with your Card.

Your mobile service carrier or provider, Wallet provider or other third parties may charge you service fees in connection with your use of your Device or respective payment method.

7. Security Requirements

You are required to contact us immediately if your Card is lost or stolen, if your Device is lost or stolen, or if your Card account is compromised. If you report your Card lost or stolen, you will be able to continue to make Transactions using a Wallet on your Device unless you instruct us to suspend your service to that respective Wallet.

If you report your Device lost or stolen, you will be able to continue to make Transactions using your Card. If you get a new Device, please be sure to delete all your Cards and other personal information from your prior supported Device.

You are required to contact us immediately if there are errors or if you suspect fraud with your Card. We will resolve any potential error or fraudulent purchase in accordance with your Card Agreement, as applicable.

You agree to protect and keep confidential your Device and User ID and/or any passwords (including your fingerprint and any other biometric authentication information) and all other information required for you to make purchases with your Card using a Wallet. If you share these credentials with others, they may be able to access the Wallet and make purchases with your Card or obtain your personal information.

In addition to your efforts to keep your credentials secure, we also take reasonable steps to help ensure that information we send to others resulting from your use of a Card in a Wallet, is always sent with the highest security measures. However, the Wallet provider is responsible for the security of the information provided to the manufacturer of a Device or information stored in the Wallet. META Vault Association is not responsible if there is a security breach affecting information stored in or sent from the Wallet provider. 

You are prohibited from using any Wallet on a Device that you know or have reason to believe has had its security or integrity compromised (e.g., where the device has been "rooted" or had its security mechanisms bypassed). You will be solely liable for any losses, damages and expenses incurred because of your use of the Wallet on a compromised Device.

8. Liability for Loss

Until we receive written or verbal notice from you in accordance with the Section “Security Requirements” You, as the Card holder are responsible for all Transactions and any interest, fees or losses incurred while using your Card or via a Wallet.

If you fail to comply with obligations described under “Security Requirements”, META Vault Association will not be liable for any losses you incur except as set out in these Terms of Service or specifically described in your Card Agreement, or otherwise provided by applicable law.

9. Privacy
