If the investigations show that you have not acted fraudulently or with gross negligence, your maximum loss or liability to us for any unauthorised transaction will be limited to 50 euro and we will process a refund as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than the end of the business day following the day after we receive your notification.

3.15. Blocking or Refusal of Transactions

3.16. Cancelling Account and Card

You have a legal right to cancel your Account and card up to 14 days from the date your Account is opened without incurring any penalty charges and we will refund any card issue fees. We may charge you a Card Cancellation Fee if we have already incurred costs by ordering a card in your name. You can also cancel your card any time after the 14-day period subject to a Redemption Fee (see F&C) by contacting Client Customer services. If you do not receive a response from Client Customer services, please contact us. You should also cut your cancelled card in half through the signature box, magnetic strip, and chip.

All fees and charges will be apportioned up until the time of the termination of the contract, and any fees and charges paid in advance will be reimbursed proportionally. You will not be entitled to a refund of money you have already spent on transactions authorised or pending or any fees for use of the card or Account before the card or Account is cancelled or expires.

CFPS may cancel your Account and this agreement by giving you at least two months’ notice. Reasons for cancellation may include:

  • if this agreement or your card expires.
  • if you break an important part of this agreement, or repeatedly break the agreement and fail to resolve the matter in a timely manner.
  • if you act in a manner that is threatening or abusive to our staff, or any of our representatives; or
  • if you fail to pay fees or charges that you have incurred or fail to pay back any negative balance on your card.

We may also cancel your Account immediately and without notice if we: ● suspect unauthorised or fraudulent use of your card or Account.

  • have any other security concerns; or
  • 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. Should 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. You must do this within 3 months of the date we tell you that your Account is cancelled.

3.17. Refunds/Redemption

You can clear the balance on your Account through spending, ATM withdrawals, or transfers to other bank Accounts. See F&C for the fees that would apply.

3.18. Protection of Funds

The Account and associated card is an electronic money product and although we are supervised by the Bank of Cyprus, it is not covered by the Deposit Insurance System of the Republic of Cyprus. No other compensation scheme exists to cover losses claimed in connection with the Account and associated card. We will however ensure that any funds received by you are held in a segregated Account so that should we become insolvent your funds will be protected against claims made by our creditors.

3.19. Complaints

If you are unhappy in any way with your card or Account or the way it is managed by the Client, you can contact Client Customer services.

3.20. Changing Details

You must contact support to change your personal information. Support information is available on the website and/or in the CFPS App.

CFPS provides data processing to Unlimint, which is the controller of your personal information that we will use to open, administer and maintain your account and provide payment services to you. You hereby consent to us accessing, processing and storing any information you provide to us for the purpose of providing payment services to you or otherwise fulfilling this agreement. For more information about how we will process your personal information, see our Data Protection Policy available on the website.

3.22. Service Interruptions/Maintenance

From time to time, your ability to use your card or Account may be interrupted, e.g., when we or our partners carry out system maintenance.

If this happens, you may be unable

  • to use your card to pay for purchases or obtain cash from ATMs.
  • to obtain information about the funds available in your Account and/or about your recent transactions.
  • Perform E-commerce transactions.
  • Make payments to your Account.

The CFPS will advise you in advance of planned system maintenance.

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 systems 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 Terms & Conditions.

3.23. Our Responsibilities

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:

  • in the event a merchant refuses to accept your card.
  • 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.
  • for cancelling or suspending use of your card or Account.
  • for any loss arising from your inability to use your card or access your Account due to interruptions.
  • 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, mobile app, website or Account or the use of your card or Account by any third party (unless otherwise required by law).
  • for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with your card; and
  • any abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, however so caused.

For the SMS services we offer, we are not responsible for lost, late or undelivered text messages, notifications, or communications. We accept no responsibility for any technical, computer, online, telephone, cable, electronic, software, hardware, transmission, connection, internet, website, or other access issue which may hinder your ability to access the SMS services.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall operate to exclude liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for any statutory liability that cannot be excluded or amended by agreement between the parties.

3.24. Miscellaneous Charges

CFPS may charge you for any reasonable costs that we incur in taking action to stop you using your card or Account and to recover any monies owed as a result of your activities if you:

  • use your card or Account fraudulently.
  • do not use your card or Account in accordance with these Terms & Conditions; or
  • have been grossly negligent, for example by failing to keep your card or PIN secure or by failing to notify us without delay after your card is lost, stolen, or used by someone else or where your Account has been compromised.

In these circumstances we will not refund transactions and we reserve the right to charge you for any reasonable costs that we incur in taking action to stop you using your Account and to recover any monies owed as a result of your activities.

If you have not been fraudulent, or grossly negligent, and have used your card and Account in accordance with these Terms & Conditions, your maximum liability for any unauthorised transaction resulting from the use of a lost or stolen card or details before you notify us will be 50 euro. Effective from February 2023 We may also charge you an Administration Fee if we have to manually intervene to complete a payment or rectify an error on the Account caused by an error or omission on your part.

3.25. Assigning Rights or Obligations

You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you may have under these Terms & Conditions to any other person without our prior written consent.
