We may impose limits, verification requirements or other conditions on the receipt of funds where required for operational, security, legal or regulatory reasons. We may refuse, delay or return any payment where reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Law, protect the security of the Services or manage financial crime risk.

3.4 Available Balance. You may only use funds that have been credited to your Account and are reflected in your available balance. Certain transactions may result in funds being temporarily unavailable, including card authorizations, payment disputes, chargebacks, refunds, reversals or regulatory restrictions.

3.5 Statements and Transaction Information. Information relating to your Transactions will be made available through the Platform. You may view and download your transaction history and account information at any time during the relationship.

CARDS

4.1 Issuing Cards. Subject to eligibility, verification and ongoing compliance requirements, we may issue one or more Cards linked to your Account. Cards may be issued as Virtual Cards, Physical Cards or both. A Card may only be issued to and used by an individual authorized by the Business Customer. All Cards remain the property of the applicable issuer and may only be used in accordance with this Agreement.

4.2 Delivery and Activation. Physical Cards may be delivered to the Cardholder or another recipient authorized by the Business Customer using a delivery method selected by us. The Business Customer is responsible for ensuring that delivery information remains accurate and up to date. A Physical Card may not be used until it has been activated using the method specified by us.

4.3 Using Cards. Cards may be used to make Transactions wherever the applicable card scheme is accepted, subject to any restrictions imposed by us, the applicable Regulated Service Provider, the card scheme, Applicable Law or the Merchant. You must ensure that sufficient funds are available in your Account before authorizing a Transaction. We may decline a Transaction where there are insufficient funds available, where a Transaction would exceed an applicable limit or restriction, or where we reasonably consider the Transaction to present a legal, regulatory, security or fraud risk.

Availability of ATM withdrawals, cash withdrawals, and other card features may depend on the Card type and may be restricted, limited, or unavailable.

Physical Cards may support contactless Transactions, subject to applicable limits, security requirements and card scheme rules.

4.4 Card Controls. The Business Customer may establish spending limits, usage restrictions and approval controls for Cards through the Platform where such functionality is available. The Business Customer remains responsible for all Transactions made using Cards issued under its Account.

4.5 Authorisations. Certain Transactions may require an authorization to be placed against your available balance before the final Transaction amount is known. This commonly occurs in connection with hotels, vehicle rentals, subscriptions, recurring payments and similar transactions. Where an authorization is placed, the relevant amount may be unavailable for use until the Transaction is completed, reversed or expires in accordance with applicable card scheme rules.

4.6 PINs and Card Security. Where a Physical Card is issued with a PIN or other authentication method, the Cardholder must take reasonable steps to keep it secure and separate from the Card. PINs, security codes, and authentication credentials must not be disclosed to any unauthorized person.

4.7 Card Expiry, Renewal and Replacement. Cards are valid until the expiry date displayed on the Card unless cancelled, suspended or terminated earlier. We may replace, renew or reissue a Card at any time for operational, security, legal or regulatory reasons. A fee may apply for replacement or expedited delivery of a Card, as set out in the Fees and Limits. Upon expiry, cancellation, replacement or termination of a Physical Card, the Cardholder must immediately cease using the Card and securely destroy it in accordance with our instructions.

4.8 Digital Wallets. Where available, a Card may be added to a Digital Wallet. Use of a Digital Wallet is subject to the applicable Digital Wallet Terms and Conditions and the terms of the relevant wallet provider.

4.9 Lost, Stolen or Compromised Cards. If a Card is lost, stolen, misappropriated or used without authorization, you must notify us without undue delay through the Platform or Customer Support. We may suspend, restrict, replace or cancel the Card and take any action reasonably necessary to protect the Account, the Business Customer, Spendbase, the applicable Regulated Service Provider or the card scheme.

5. PAYMENTS AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

5.1 Authorizing Transactions. A Transaction is authorized when you or an authorized Cardholder provides consent using a Card, Security Credentials, a Digital Wallet, an approval workflow, or any other authentication method accepted by us. We may rely on any instruction or Transaction that appears to have been authorised by you or an authorised user.

5.2 Refusing Transactions. We may refuse to execute a Transaction or impose additional security checks where reasonably necessary to:

(a) comply with Applicable Law;

(b) prevent fraud, financial crime or unauthorized use;

(c) protect the security of the Services;

(d) comply with requirements imposed by a Regulated Service Provider or card scheme; or

(e) where insufficient funds are available.

Where legally permitted, we will inform you of the refusal and, where appropriate, the reasons for it.

5.3 Transaction Execution. Once a Transaction has been authorized and received, it cannot normally be revoked. Transaction execution times depend on the payment type, currency, destination and applicable payment scheme. Information regarding expected execution times is available through the Platform and may be updated from time to time.

5.4 Foreign Exchange. Where a Transaction is made in a currency different from the currency of the Account, the Transaction will be converted at the exchange rate applicable when the Transaction is processed. The applicable exchange rate, any mark-up and any foreign exchange fees will be disclosed in the Fees and Limits or through the Platform. Changes to reference exchange rates may take effect immediately and without prior notice.

5.5 Refunds and Reversals. A refund, reversal or cancelled Transaction may not be available immediately after it has been processed by a Merchant, card scheme or payment provider. We will credit the relevant amount to your Account once the funds have been received by the applicable Regulated Service Provider.

5.6 Transaction Records. Details of Transactions will be available through the Platform and may also be provided in a durable medium where required by Applicable Law.

6. SECURITY AND UNAUTHORISED TRANSACTIONS

6.1 Security. You must take all reasonable steps to keep your Account, Cards, Security Credentials, devices and authentication methods secure at all times and prevent their unauthorised use. The Business Customer must maintain appropriate internal controls governing access to the Services and the use of Cards. Physical Cards must be kept secure and must not be provided to, shared with, or used by any unauthorized person. You must notify us without undue delay if you become aware of the loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorised use of a Card, Security Credential or device used to access the Services.

6.2 Notification of Security Incidents. You must notify us without undue delay if you become aware of, or suspect, the loss, theft or unauthorized use of a Card, the compromise of Security Credentials, unauthorized access to the Account, an unauthorized or incorrectly executed Transaction, or any actual or suspected fraud affecting the Services. Upon notification, we may suspend or replace a Card, reset Security Credentials or take any other action reasonably necessary to protect the Account and the Services.

6.3 Unauthorized Transactions. If you believe that a Transaction was not authorized by you or an authorized Cardholder, you must notify us as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 13 months after the date on which the Transaction was debited from the Account. We may require information and supporting documentation reasonably necessary to investigate the matter.

6.4 Liability. The Business Customer is responsible for Transactions authorized by its authorized representatives, authorized users, and Cardholders. Subject to Applicable Law, the Business Customer may also be responsible for losses arising from fraud, intentional misconduct or a failure to comply with this Agreement. You will not be liable for losses arising from unauthorized Transactions occurring after you have notified us of the loss, theft or compromise of a Card or Security Credentials, unless you have acted fraudulently.

6.5 Investigations. We may investigate any suspected unauthorized Transaction, security incident, or fraudulent activity and may request information, documentation, or cooperation from you during the investigation. Where we reasonably determine that a claim was unfounded or that a Transaction was properly authorized, we may reverse any provisional credit applied to the Account.

7. CHARGEBACKS, REFUNDS AND TRANSACTION DISPUTES

7.1 Merchant Disputes. If you have a dispute relating to goods or services purchased using a Card, you should first attempt to resolve the dispute directly with the relevant Merchant. Spendbase is not responsible for the quality, safety, legality or delivery of any goods or services purchased using the Services.

7.2 Requesting a Chargeback or Investigation. Where a Card Transaction may be eligible for a chargeback or other card scheme dispute process, you may request that we investigate the Transaction. You must provide all information and supporting evidence reasonably requested by us within the timeframe specified by us or the applicable card scheme. Failure to provide requested information may prevent us from pursuing the claim.

7.3 Refunds. Any refund relating to a Card Transaction will be credited to the Account once it has been received by the applicable Regulated Service Provider. We are not responsible for delays caused by Merchants, acquiring banks, card schemes or other third parties involved in processing the refund.

7.4 Our Role. We may assist with a Transaction dispute, chargeback request or card scheme claim where available, but we do not guarantee that any dispute will be resolved in your favour or that any amount will be recovered. Any chargeback, retrieval request or dispute process remains subject to the rules of the applicable card scheme and the decisions of the parties involved in the dispute process.

7.5 Reversal of Credits. Where we apply a provisional credit to the Account pending completion of an investigation, we may reverse that credit if the claim is rejected, withdrawn, found to be invalid or otherwise determined in favour of the Merchant or another party.

7.6 Fees. We may charge fees in connection with chargebacks, retrieval requests, dispute investigations or unsuccessful claims where permitted by Applicable Law and disclosed in the Fees and Limits.

7.7 Authorized Push Payment Fraud. Where applicable, you may be entitled to reimbursement for certain Authorized Push Payment (APP) fraud losses in accordance with Applicable Law, mandatory reimbursement requirements, payment system rules or regulatory requirements. Eligibility for reimbursement may depend on the circumstances of the claim, compliance with applicable reporting requirements and any exceptions permitted under Applicable Law or the relevant reimbursement scheme.
