17. Risks of Digital Assets

17.1. Kindly be aware that there are inherent risks associated with transactions involving Digital Assets. When a transaction is submitted to a blockchain network, it remains unconfirmed for a certain duration until the blockchain network provides sufficient confirmation. During this pending state, the transaction is not considered complete. If any transfers of Digital Assets to or from external wallet addresses are in a pending state, they will be identified as such, and the respective Digital Asset will not be included in your Digital Asset Wallet or accessible for conducting transactions.

17.2. During the transfer of Digital Assets, there is an inherent risk that these assets may be lost if the community supporting the transfer or the issuers/managers of the Digital Assets collapse, fail, or go bankrupt. In such situations, if your Digital Assets are in a pending state of transfer, they could potentially lose substantial value or be completely lost.

17.3. The risk of loss in holding Digital Assets can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether holding Digital Assets is suitable for you in light of your financial situation. In considering whether to hold Digital Assets, you should be aware that the price or value of Digital Assets can change rapidly, decrease, and potentially even fall to zero. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. If you use any of our Services which allow you and/or third parties to access and hold Digital Asset private keys, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for safeguarding such keys and that we are not responsible for any loss of Digital Assets resulting from theft, loss, or mishandling of Digital Asset private keys outside our control.

17.4.

We bear no responsibility for the Digital Assets market and do not provide any guarantees or assurances regarding the actual or perceived value of Digital Assets in relation to any quoted currency. While we may offer historical and/or real-time data on Digital Asset prices, including graphs illustrating price fluctuations within the Application or your profile, such information is solely intended for reference purposes. We do not assert the quality, suitability, truthfulness, usefulness, accuracy, or comprehensiveness of such data or graphs, and you should not rely on them for any purpose whatsoever. You acknowledge that the value of Digital Assets can be highly volatile, and you agree that we cannot be held accountable or liable for any losses you may incur as a result of holding or trading Digital Assets, even in the event of delays, suspensions, or interruptions in our Service for any reason.

We’ll solely decide whether an issue is attributable to us, the Card Issuer, or our third-party service providers. Where we, the Card Issuer, or our third-party service providers are not at fault, we will have no liability to you.

Where payee details provided by you are incorrect, we are not liable for non-execution or defective execution of the payment transaction, but we will make reasonable efforts to recover the funds involved in the payment transaction and notify you of the outcome.

We can return money paid to your payment instrument by mistake, however, if you don’t think a payment made to you from a payment service provider in the EEA was a mistake, we may also be allowed to share your personal information with the paying payment service provider so that you can be contacted directly. This is because we are required to cooperate with other payment service providers and share all relevant information in order to assist with tracing money which is sent to the wrong person.

e. for money laundering or terrorist financing purposes; and

f. Transfer funds to a third party which does not relate to an underlying transaction for goods or services.

• Blocked transactions

We may refuse to pay a transaction:

a. if we are concerned about the security of your Card or account or we suspect your Card or account is being used in an unauthorised or fraudulent manner;

b. if sufficient funds are not paid into your account at the time of a transaction to cover the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees;

c. if there is a negative balance on your account;

d. if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are not using your Card or account in accordance with these Issuer Terms;

e. if we believe that a transaction is potentially suspicious or illegal (for example, if we believe that a transaction is being made fraudulently); or

f. because of errors, failures (whether mechanical or otherwise) or refusal to process a transaction by merchants, payment processors or payment schemes.

If we refuse a transaction, we will tell you why, if we can, unless it would be unlawful for us to do so. You may correct any information we hold and which may have caused us to refuse a transaction by contacting customer support.

• Ordering a Replacement Card

To order a replacement Card if your Card is lost or stolen, contact Customer Support. Fees may apply.

• Expiration

Your Card will be valid until the expiry date stated on the Card. After it expires, you will no longer be able to transact using the Card.

If we’re unable to contact you based on our records of your contact information six (6) months or more after the expiry date of your Card, we will hold the remaining balance(s) on your Card. Contact customer support to retrieve any funds on your Card.

• Stolen or lost Cards

If you lose your Card or it is stolen, or you suspect that someone else has found out your PIN or security information or accessed your account without your permission, you must tell us immediately by contacting customer support and block the card immediately via your profile. Your Card will be cancelled immediately, and your account may be blocked. If, after reporting a lost Card, you subsequently find the Card you should contact our support team to request reactivation.

• Account closure by us

We may cancel your Card and this agreement by giving you at least 1 month notice.

We may also cancel your Card immediately if we:

a. suspect unauthorised or fraudulent use of your Card;

b. have any other security concerns;

c. need to close your account in accordance with these T&C; or

d. need to do so to comply with the law.

We may also deny access to your Card and/or account where we consider it to be at risk of money laundering or terrorism financing, fraud or other criminal activity. If we need to take these actions and where possible, we will give reasons for doing so except where restricted by law. In these circumstances, you must tell us what you want us to do with any unused funds.

• Your responsibility

You are responsible for:

a. All charges and other amounts incurred through your use of the Card at any time, including any amounts outstanding after you stop using the Card or if we suspend or cancel your Card; and

b. Complying with any and all laws, rules and regulations of your jurisdiction that may apply to you in connection with your use of the Card, including but not limited to, activities of import and export, taxes or foreign currency transactions. We will not be responsible for the execution of tax obligations, or calculation and transfer of taxes applied to you.

It is extremely important to keep your Card and Profile information safe and secure, as well as your email address and devices you may use to access your Profile. You will be responsible for limiting access to your Card and keeping your Profile secure.

• Our responsibility

If we incorrectly deduct funds from your account, we will refund them. If we subsequently establish that the refunded amount had in fact been correctly deducted, we may deduct it from your available balance and may charge you a fee. If you do not have sufficient available balance, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand. If unauthorised transactions occur after you have notified us of the loss, theft, compromise or unauthorised use of your Card or account, and you have not acted fraudulently or in breach of these Terms and Conditions, then we will be liable. We will not be liable to you in connection with or arising from your use of or inability to use your Card as a result or in connection with any of the following:

a. failed, missed, delayed, or fraudulent transactions, payment transmission errors, or any other issues related to payment or the processing, loading and/or transfer of money between you and the Card Issuer as the loading channel;

b. the Card Issuer’s failure to convey any notice, instructions or communications to us or other third parties on your behalf, accurately, in a timely manner or at all;

c. any unauthorised access to, disclosure of, wrongful or fraudulent use of your Card(s), Profile, Service, personal data, PIN and password to the extent not attributable to any acts or omissions on part of us;

d. any error, negligence, wilful default, misconduct, fraud, act, omission, breach or failure of, or contravention of applicable laws by, any other party (including you and the Card Issuer);

e. any refusal by a merchant to accept your Card

f. for any interruption, disruption or impairment of our service or any third-party services on which we rely for the performance of our obligations hereunder; for refusing to authorise a transaction;

g. for cancelling or suspending use of your Card;

h. for any loss arising from your inability to use your Card or access your account due to interruptions;

i. for any direct or indirect loss or damage you may suffer including loss of revenue, loss of reputation, goodwill, opportunity or anticipated savings as a result of your total or partial use or inability to use your Card;

j. for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with your Card; and

k. any abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, however so caused.

• Card Interruption

From time to time, your ability to use your Card or account may be interrupted. If this happens, you may be unable to use your Card. In addition, like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a merchant will accept your Card, or that we will necessarily authorise any particular transaction. This may be because of a system problem, something outside our reasonable control, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or because we have suspended, restricted or cancelled your account or refused to replace it in accordance with these Issuer Terms.

• Contacting you in an emergency

We may need to contact you urgently if we suspect or find fraudulent activity has occurred on your account (provided we are not prohibited from doing so by law) or if we suffer a security threat. To do so, we may (for example) send you a text message instead of calling or emailing you, if we think this is the quickest way to contact you. When we contact you, we will also give you information on how you can minimise any risk to your payment instrument depending on the nature of the security threat.

We will use the same contact details which you have already provided us with when contacting you. You must inform us immediately if your personal details or contact information change.

• Complaints

If you need any help or want to make a comment or complaint, please contact our customer service. We aim to resolve all enquiries within 30 calendar days.

Please give us the opportunity to resolve your complaint. We will respond to any complaints within 15 business days of receiving your complaint, except in exceptional circumstances beyond our control. In any event, we will respond to your complaint within 35 business days of receiving your compliant.

• Personal Information (include change of info)

Keeping your personal data safe is important to us. How we handle your personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

If your details such as name, address, email address, and telephone or mobile number change, let us know immediately.

• Changes to these Issuer Terms

We may make changes to our Issuer Terms from time to time. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Card before the planned commencement date of the new changes. Continuing use of the Card means that you accept our new changes. Certain changes may occur immediately and without notice. This may happen when we are required to make changes by law, or where we make minor changes to these Issuer Terms that do not impact your rights and remedies or our obligations.

• Assignment

If we consider it to be operationally necessary, we may at any time assign or transfer the rights and novate the obligations to another entity without your consent. If that happens, from the effective date of the transfer, these Issuer Terms will be an agreement between you and the successor entity and that entity will assume our rights and obligations as if it were itself a party to these Issuer Terms. Your rights and obligations under these Issuer Terms will remain the same and we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable.

Governing law and dispute resolution

English law will apply to all disputes and the interpretation of these Terms. The English courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or related to your use of the Card. This does not affect your rights under the law of the country in which you are resident, including (where applicable) your right to have a dispute in relation to your use of the Card heard in the courts of that country.

• Other miscellaneous items

No third-party rights are created in these Issuer Terms. Only you, as the holder of the Wirex Profile will have any rights to enforce these Terms. You cannot assign or transfer any of your rights under these Issuer Terms to someone else.

Where we do not enforce our rights under these Issuer Terms, we do not waive our rights. We may transfer or assign our rights under these Issuer Terms at any time.

Unless stated otherwise in these Issuer Terms, if any provision of these Issuer Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the extent possible.
