5.1 The Card may, subject to any applicable fee, be used to pay for goods and services at merchants, or online, where Mastercard is accepted. The Card cannot be used at ATMs.
5.2 The Card cannot be used for manual (non- electronic) transactions. In addition, the Card must not be used for any unlawful activity. You agree to never give your Card or PIN to another person.
5.3 When using your Card at POS terminals, you must select "credit” and not the “cheque” or “savings” option. Please note that by selecting “credit” you are simply accessing your balance through the Mastercard payment scheme; you are not provided with any credit by the Issuer or any other person (although if a Negative Balance occurs, then you will have to repay the amount owing – see clause 8.6 below). Unless the transaction is under the threshold for an applicable Mastercard contactless transaction, you will then be asked to enter your Card PIN to confirm the transaction.
5.4 Although the Mastercard acceptance mark may be displayed, in some countries or merchants the Card may not operate due to restrictions imposed by Mastercard. Details of the countries or merchants in which the Card will not operate are available
here.
5.5 When a Card is used to purchase fuel at an automated fuel pump the balance of your Stables Digital Wallet must have a minimum amount of $80. In addition, if a Card is used to make a telephone call there must be a minimum of $11 in your Stables Digital Wallet. If you spend less than these minimum amounts any unused balance may be temporarily unavailable.
5.6 When a Card is used at bars or restaurants an additional percentage (usually, but not necessarily, 20%) may be automatically added as an anticipated service charge or tip and debited to your Card. If your actual service charge or tip is less, any unused balance may be temporarily unavailable.
5.7 Certain businesses may not accept the Card as a means of pre-authorising an amount. If the Card is used for this purpose, some businesses (such as hotels, cruise lines and car rental companies) may pre-authorise the estimated amount of the final bill and this amount will temporarily be unavailable. Please note, only the actual amount of the final bill will be deducted from the Card Fund.
5.8 When a Card is used to purchase goods for delivery by mail or online, an additional 10% may be automatically added as an anticipated delivery charge. If the actual delivery charge is less, any unused difference may be temporarily unavailable.
5.9 Subject to the application of clauses 5.10 and 10.4, the applicable balance (and therefore the total balance on your card) will be debited with the amount of each transaction, along with any applicable fee and these debits will reduce the balance. Except for contactless transactions that do not require authorisation or validation, each transaction will require authorisation or validation before completion.
5.10 If there are insufficient funds available on your Card, the balance of the transaction will be automatically processed using funds available in your Stables Wallet, or, your Card may be declined or the retailer may allow you to pay the balance by some other means.
5.11 You agree to accept a credit to your Card if you are entitled to a refund or other credit for any reason for goods or services purchased using the Card.
5.12 A transaction or payment cannot be cancelled once you have authorised it.
5.13 The point-of-sale terminals are not owned or operated by the Issuer or Mastercard Prepaid and the Issuer and Mastercard Prepaid are not responsible for ensuring that they will accept the Card.
5.14 You must comply with all laws and regulations in respect of the Card in the country of purchase and/or use.
5.15 By successfully applying for and using the Card, you acknowledge and agree that we do not provide and you will not receive paper statements unless you contact us to request a paper statement. Electronic statements showing the Card’s transactions and balance are available through the App.
5.16 If a person reports that a mistaken payment has been made from the person’s account to your Card account, you agree that:
a) we may inform that person’s financial institution whether or not your Card has sufficient funds to cover the mistaken payment; and
b) we may freeze those funds, or debit those funds from your Card where we are required to do so under the ePayments Code.
5.17 Where required by relevant law, for example where you appear to be a “proscribed person”, you acknowledge that we may:
a) be required to block access to the Card and/or Card balance; and
b) immediately refuse to process or complete any transaction or suspend or terminate our arrangements with you and agree that under these circumstances we have no liability to you.
5.18 You agree that we may delay, block or refuse to process any transaction without incurring any liability if we suspect that the transaction:
a) may breach any laws or regulations in Australia or in any other country;
b) involves any person (natural, corporate or governmental) that is itself sanctioned or is connected, directly or indirectly, to any person that is sanctioned under economic and trade sanctions imposed by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control, United Nations, the European Union or any country; or
c) may directly or indirectly involve the proceeds of, or be applied for the purposes of, any unlawful conduct.
