Apple Pay (Australia) -terms and conditions.

1 Introduction
These Novatti Apple Pay Terms and Conditions together with the Prepaid Card Terms and Conditions and associated Product Disclosure Statement govern your use of your Visa Prepaid Card (‘Card’) with Apple Pay. It’s important you read this document carefully. Your Card is issued by the Novatti Group ABN 98 606 556 183 and its Related Bodies Corporate under AFSL 448066 (‘Issuer’). The Issuer can be contacted at Level 3, 461 Bourke Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000, and phone 03 9013 0066. In these terms and conditions any reference to ‘we’ or ‘us’ is a reference to the Issuer; ‘you’ are the Card purchaser/user of the Card.
2 Acceptance of Terms
You agree to these terms by:
- adding your Card for use in Apple Pay on your eligible Apple Device; or
- allowing an additional Cardholder to add a Novatti Card linked to your
card account to Apple Pay on their Apple Device.
These terms apply in addition to your Visa Prepaid Card Terms associated with each Card. It is important that you read these terms and the Product Disclosure Statement together.
3 Adding/Removing your Card on Apple Pay
You can add your Card to Apple Pay on your eligible Apple Device and the additional Cardholder can add the Card to their eligible Apple Device, provided
that:
- we have verified the relevant Cardholder’s identity;
- each Cardholder has agreed to the Card being added to Apple Pay on the relevant Cardholder’s eligible Apple Device;
- if the Card is a Novatti Corporate Card, the Principal has agreed to the Card being added to Apple Pay on the relevant Cardholder’s eligible
Apple Device; and - the balance of your card account is in good standing. Cardholders can remove the Card linked to their account from Apple Pay on the
Cardholders can remove the Card linked to their account from Apple Pay on the Cardholder’s Apple Device at any time.
Instructions to unlink your card are available on the Apple Pay website and through your Apple Device.
Once your Card is added to Apple Pay, the Cardholder can use Apple Pay to authorise transactions on an account. This is done by using the relevant Apple Device in place of the Novatti Card at a contactless terminal or in an application on an Apple Device. Some contactless terminals may require the Cardholder to enter the Card PIN.
4 Security and Liability
Any person who can unlock your Apple Device may be able to make transactions using the Card registered in Apple Pay.
If a Cardholder’s Card linked to your card account is registered for Apple Pay on any eligible Apple Device, you are responsible for ensuring that:
- only the Cardholder’s biometric identifier (and no other person’s biometric identifier) is registered;
- the Apple Pay wallet is not shared with anyone and is used only by the Cardholder;
- each Cardholder keeps the passcode for the Cardholder’s Apple Device secure in the same way as a Cardholder would keep a banking password or PIN secure, including by:
- not sharing it with anyone,
- not carrying a record of it within an Apple Device or with anything capable of being stolen along with an Apple Device (unless a reasonable effort is made to protect the security of it);
- not choosing an easily guessable passcode such as the Cardholder’s date of birth or a recognisable part of the Cardholder’s name; and
- not acting with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of the passcode.
- the Cardholder keeps the Apple Device safe and secure (including by locking it when not in use or when it is unattended and by installing up-to-date anti-virus software on it); and
- the Cardholder removes the Card from the Cardholder’s Apple Device before disposing of the Apple Device.
If a Cardholder fails to comply with any of the requirements in this section 5, you are taken to have authorised that person to transact on your account using Apple Pay.
This means that any Apple Pay transaction initiated by that person using the Biometric Identifier, biometric information or passcode w will be authorised by you. This could result in significant loss or liability in relation to such transactions.
If another person’s Biometric Identifier is registered on your Apple Device or the Apple Device of and Additional Cardholder you must ensure that it is removed. If you or the additional Cardholder think any other person knows the passcode for the Apple Device, you must ensure that the passcode is changed by you or the additional Cardholder, as applicable. If a Cardholder becomes aware that another person is or may be able to access the Apple Device using their biometric information, the Cardholder must use a passcode instead of a Biometric Identifier to initiate transactions using their Card on Apple Pay and must remove their Biometric Identifier from the Apple Device.
At any time, a Cardholder can delete or suspend their Card from Apple Pay. You cannot suspend the use of an additional Cardholder’s Card in Apple Pay, but you can suspend or close the Card of an additional Cardholder by calling the designated number you can find at the back of your card (24 hours a day) or reach out to us by using the ‘Contact Us’ section in the mobile application or web browser.
Please call us immediately if:
- any Apple Device on which a Novatti Card linked to your card account has been added to Apple Pay is lost or stolen;
- the mobile service of any Apple Device on which a Novatti Card linked to your card account has been added to Apple Pay is suddenly disconnected without your permission (which may indicate the occurrence of mobile phone porting); or
- you or an additional Cardholder suspect a security breach in relation to any Apple Device on which a Novatti Card linked to your card account has been added to Apple Pay, or that an unauthorised person has used the passcode, Card PIN or other credentials to access Apple Pay.
Based on your report, we will suspend use of your Card with Apple Pay. This helps protect you as much as possible from additional loss or liability. If you have contributed to the loss by unreasonably delaying reporting to us the loss or theft of your Apple Device or the unauthorised use of your account details, you may be liable for transactions for which you did not give authority incurred before the report is received by us.
Generally, subject to protections under the Law, you are liable for unauthorised transactions conducted using Apple Pay.
