7. ABOUT THE SERVICES
7.1 Wallet. The ‘Wallet’ enables you to electronically hold, send and receive funds in the form of electronic money in the Supported Currencies through the Airwallex Platform. The funds in the Wallet can be in multiple currencies but only in the Supported Currencies that we offer, which may change from time to time.
7.2 Global Account. You may request Airwallex to open more than one Global Account for a particular Supported Currency.
7.3 How balances are represented. The funds collected through a Global Account will be transferred to your Wallet and be represented as part of the balance in your Wallet for each Supported Currency – there will not be a separate balance shown for a Global Account.
7.4 The Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme (Depositogratantiestelsel) (‘DDGS’) does not apply to the funds in your Wallet or collected through a Global Account. You acknowledge that the Wallet is an electronic money account, not a bank account, and is therefore not covered by the DDGS.
7.5 As a firm regulated under the FSA, the Foundation holds funds corresponding to electronic money in your Wallet in one or more bank accounts separately from the funds of Airwallex. In the event of the insolvency of Airwallex, you will be paid from these bank accounts of the Foundation in priority to other creditors in accordance with Applicable Law.
7.6 The electronic money in the Wallet:
(a) will not expire, except when your Wallet is closed – see clause 20 for more details;
(b) will not earn any interest or rewards; and
(c) can be withdrawn at any time, subject to certain conditions – see clause 11 for more details.
7.7 We may place interim or permanent restrictions on your use of the Wallet, a Global Account or any other part of the Services depending on certain regulatory requirements, identity verification checks or business requirements, which will be set out in the Acceptable Use Policy or any Additional Terms. These will be communicated to you at the time the restriction is put in place or, if that is not practical due to urgent or unforeseen circumstances, promptly after the restriction is put in place.
7.8 Airwallex Card. If we have agreed to issue you or any Additional Cardholder with a Card, the terms set out in the Card Supplement shall apply to the use of any Cards linked to your Wallet in addition to these terms. The terms of the Card Supplement shall be incorporated and form a part of these terms as if set out in these terms in full.
8. GETTING STARTED

If required by Airwallex, you must provide your bank account details to be linked to your Airwallex Profile.
8.2 Creating a Global Account. Once we have created your Airwallex Profile, you can submit a request to open a Global Account by logging on to the Airwallex Platform and providing the necessary information, including any additional information that we may require from time to time.

(a) that these terms are accepted and executed by your duly authorised representative; and
(b) that all information supplied to us in applying for your Airwallex Profile and Global Account and subsequently is true, complete and accurate in all material respects and you will not omit or withhold any information which would render the information so supplied false, incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect.
8.4 You can only have one Airwallex Profile, unless we agree otherwise in writing. If we discover that you have more than one Airwallex Profile, at our discretion, we may either merge or close any duplicate profiles, or terminate (opzeggen of ontbinden) your Services, if we reasonably believe you have opened them in order to bypass any restrictions in the Services.
8.5 You confirm you are acting on your own account, not on behalf of any other person or legal entity. If you are entering into these terms as trustee of a trust, you must disclose that to us. We will deem any use of the Wallet, including any transfers into and out of the Wallet, to have been carried out by you.
8.6 Setting up Airwallex APIs. You may access the Airwallex Platform through Airwallex APIs as well as the Webapp. However, in order to use our Services through the Airwallex APIs, you must first be approved by us.

You must set up each Authorised User with a User Profile and promptly provide us with the following details of any of your proposed Authorised Users: Customer name, name of Authorised User, Customer address and billing address, phone and email address of Authorised User, and any other contact or identification information of the Authorised User that we may reasonably require.
9.2 You agree that:
(a) your Authorised Users have the authority to provide instructions to us for the provision of Services on your behalf;
(b) we may rely on instructions given by the Authorised User, and you will be bound by the actions of your Authorised Users, until you provide us with written notice withdrawing or otherwise varying the authority of an Authorised User;
(c) we may refuse access to your Authorised User(s) if we are concerned about unauthorised or fraudulent access; and
(d) you will promptly report to us any infringements or unauthorised access to the Airwallex Platform, including the Webapp or Airwallex APIs.
10. RECEIVING PAYMENTS & LOADING MONEY INTO THE WALLET
10.1 Funding your Wallet. You can load funds to your Wallet by logging in to the Airwallex Platform and following the steps as prompted.
10.2 Global Account collection. If we have opened a Global Account for you, you may also receive funds to your Wallet through a Global Account.
10.3 In each case, you will ensure the funds are transferred using the correct bank details and any unique transaction reference number details specified by Airwallex. If you do not provide accurate details, then we may not be able to credit your Wallet. In such cases, we will not be liable for any loss you incur, although we will use reasonable efforts to investigate and credit or return incorrect and inaccurately referenced payments into or from your Wallet.
10.4 You may load funds to the Wallet by way of a bank transfer to Airwallex. We may permit additional methods of receiving or loading money into the Wallet from time to time.
10.5 We will credit your Wallet when we receive your funds. We are not responsible for any funds transferred, and will not record them as available in the Wallet, until we have actually received the funds from you or via a collection through the Global Account. The transfer of funds from you or other payers to your Wallet is a service provided by third parties, and is not part of our Services. We have no control over the time it may take for the transfer of such funds to clear and settle.
10.6 Reversals. We may need to reverse a transaction and either deduct funds we have credited to your Wallet, or return funds we have debited from your Wallet, including in the following circumstances:
(a) the sender, or any relevant payment services provider, reverses a transaction or is likely to reverse a transaction;
(b) the sender made a transfer to you by mistake;
(c) you have provided us with incorrect instructions for the transaction;
(d) we suspect that a transaction is fraudulent, or is in breach of these terms or Applicable Law;
(e) we exercise our rights under clause 20.
If you do not have enough funds in your Wallet for us to make a deduction, you must reimburse us as soon as possible, as set out in clause 11.12. If we reverse a transaction, we will do this at the prevailing FX Exchange Rate applicable at the time of the reversal or at the original FX Exchange Rate applicable to the transaction, in our discretion. You may request to configure your account so that any reversed transaction that results in a refund to you is paid in the source currency or the target currency, if supported. If the refund requires a FX Conversion, any associated FX Delta will be credited to or debited from the Customer’s Wallet as applicable.
10.7 Where the funding/original transaction was paid for by Card, reversals will be effected in accordance with the Card Supplement. For other transactions, where we make a reversal, we may choose whether to make the reversal in the currency of the original transaction or in a separate currency, for example, where the original transaction is not in a Supported Currency which can be held in your Wallet, we will generally choose to convert the amount of the reversal into your Base Currency. Where we are required to perform any currency conversions in connection with the reversal of a transaction, we will do this at the prevailing FX Exchange Rate applicable at the time of the reversal or at the original FX Exchange Rate applicable to the transaction, in our discretion.
11. MAKING PAYOUTS AND FX CONVERSIONS
11.1 Your instructions. You may instruct us to make a FX Conversion or Payout at any time by providing the necessary details as prompted in the Airwallex Platform.
11.2 Confirmation. You must have sufficient funds in your Wallet in the relevant source currency to cover the full amount of any FX Conversion or Payout (including Service Fees) that you wish to make. We may decline your instructions if you do not have enough funds, if you exceed any applicable limits, or in accordance with clause 20. When we are satisfied with your instructions we will issue you with a Confirmation. When you instruct us to make an FX Conversion or Payout, the amount of the FX Conversion or Payout confirmed in the Confirmation becomes due and payable to us on the date indicated in the Confirmation. On this date your funds will cease to be deemed electronic money and your balance will be deducted accordingly. You will be issued with electronic money again in respect of an FX Conversion in the purchase currency on the Settlement Date.
11.3 FX Exchange Rate. You may access the indicative FX Exchange Rate for an FX Conversion through the Airwallex Platform ("Rate"). The Rate will be quoted to you when you instruct us through the Airwallex Platform and the final FX Exchange Rate will be confirmed when we issue a Confirmation. We will ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, that the confirmed FX Exchange Rate reflects the rate quoted to you. The rate may be different as the rate may have changed between the time of your instruction and the time we issue the Confirmation. You agree that changes to exchange rates come into effect immediately without notice. Changes to the FX Exchange Rate depend on fluctuations in the financial markets outside our control.
11.4 Obtaining a rate or quote via API: You may request a Rate or a Quote by providing the necessary details via the Airwallex API.
(a) A Quote will be provided in accordance with clause 11.3 above. The Rate is for information purposes and cannot be used to book or execute a FX Transaction;
(b) A Quote can be obtained for one or more Validity Periods.
(i) To book a Spot FX Transaction using a Quote, you must submit the Quote ID specified in the relevant Quote when instructing Airwallex, through the Airwallex API, to make a FX Conversion or Payout in accordance with clause 11.
(ii) You must not request or use Quotes for speculation or arbitrage. Quotes can only be used for genuine, commercial purposes. If we suspect or reasonably believe that you are requesting and/or using Quotes in breach of this clause 11.4(b)(ii), we may remove your access to this functionality or limit your ability to request and use Quotes at our discretion.
(iii) We may impose limits on your ability to request and use Quotes as we determine appropriate in our sole discretion in order to manage Airwallex’s risk and exposure.
11.5 Pre-Fund Spot FX Transactions. For a Pre-Fund Spot FX Transaction, you simultaneously: (i) order and agree to the Pre-Fund Spot FX Transaction; (ii) agree to have your Intermediary Account debited by Airwallex; and (iii) agree to have your Intermediary Account credited or payout made by Airwallex. Consequently, the settlement of Pre-Fund Spot FX Transactions generally occurs simultaneously with the agreement to enter into the Pre-Fund Spot FX Transaction (or within two days in some circumstances).
11.6 Post-Fund Spot FX Transactions. For a Post-Fund Spot FX Transaction, you: (i) order and agree to the Post-Fund Spot FX Transaction on a date (“Order Date”); (ii) agree to have your Intermediary Account debited by Airwallex by Settlement Cut-Off; and (iii) agree to have your Intermediary Account credited or payout made by Airwallex simultaneously with or immediately after the relevant debit is completed. Consequently, the Settlement Cut-Off of the Post-Fund Spot FX Transaction will generally be on either: (i) the Order Date; or (ii) up to two days after the Order Date.
11.7 Open Position Limit. If you request and are granted Post-Fund capability, you will be able to book Post-Fund Spot FX Transactions up to a certain value (“Open Position Limit”), which will be specified by us. You may be required to provide an Advance Payment Deposit in order to book a Post Fund Spot FX Transaction. If you fail to fund your Post-Fund Spot FX Transactions in accordance with this clause 11, we may suspend or cancel an Open Position Limit in our sole discretion and/or take steps to unwind the overdue Post-Fund Spot FX Transaction at the prevailing FX Exchange Rate and pass on all associated losses and costs to you.
11.8 Forward Contracts. If you are approved to enter into Forward Contracts, you agree to enter into Forward Contracts only for the purpose of facilitating payment for identifiable goods or services. If we reasonably believe that you intend to enter into the Forward Contract for other purposes, we:
(a) may decline to accept your instruction in respect of a Forward Contract; or
(b) if we have already accepted your instruction, we may cancel the Forward Contract.
11.9 Settlement requirements. The issuance of a Confirmation means that the FX Conversion or Payout is final and binding and cannot be cancelled (other than in accordance with clause 11.17 or 11.18 below). We will deduct the amount of your FX Conversion or Payout from your Wallet immediately at the time we issue a Confirmation. However, if you are approved to post-fund you must:
(a) for an FX Conversion (or Payout, if the Payout is linked to a FX Conversion): deposit any amount specified in the Confirmation in cleared funds by Settlement Cut-Off; and
(b) for a Payout: ensure there are sufficient cleared funds in the Payout currency available to Airwallex by the Payout Date.
11.10 Date. We will deduct the amount of your FX Conversion or Payout from your Wallet when we issue a Confirmation or, if you are approved to post-fund the FX Conversion or Payout, at the same time that we receive the relevant funds from you. If that date is not a Business Day, or if we receive your instructions after 5pm on a Business Day, then the date may be adjusted by us to the next day that is a Business Day.
11.11 Execution time. If you are making a Payout and/or FX Conversion, we will remit the Payout and/or effect the FX Conversion as soon as possible. Generally, we will remit funds to a payee’s payment service provider within 24 hours after we accept your instructions. The methods of crediting the funds may be provided by third parties (for example the bank where the payee has their bank account) and are not part of our Services. We do not have any control over the amount of time it may take for a payee’s bank or payment provider to credit funds to the payee, but would generally expect this to take less than 5 Business Days, unless a longer period is required by Applicable Law.
11.12 Failed FX Conversions and Payouts. We may in our sole discretion, acting reasonably, decide to cancel the FX Conversion or Payout, or delay the FX Conversion or Payout by rolling it over to the next Settlement Date or Payout Date (as applicable), due to reasons outside of our control such as:
(a) failure of conversion in the sell currency by the Customer to Airwallex on any FX Conversion; or
(b) failure of Payout in the Payout currency by the Customer to Airwallex on any Payout.
11.13 Transaction limits. We may apply limits to the amount of any one or a series of Payouts, and we will tell you if we do so. For example, we may apply limits if you ask us to or if we reasonably think it would help manage the risk of fraud in a proportionate way.
11.14 Right of rejection. We reserve the right to withhold, reject, or delay any transaction in order to comply with Applicable Law. We may not accept your instructions for a Payout or FX Conversion if:
(a) no valid exchange rates are available from our correspondent banking partners, liquidity providers, or other financial institutions;
(b) any relevant anti-money laundering or counter financing of terrorism conversion limits are exceeded; or
(c) you have not complied with your obligations under these terms including the Acceptable Use Policy.
11.15 Obligation to repay. You cannot have a negative balance in your Wallet. If any transactions or charges (including any chargeback, reversal of a transaction, or deduction of fees) take your Wallet below zero, you must immediately repay the amount owing to us, without requiring notice from us to do so. If you do not, we may suspend use of your Wallet or refuse to provide the Services to you. We may also take reasonable steps to recover any amount owing to us (such as taking legal action or using debt collection services) and charge you for the cost of these services.
11.16 We can deduct funds from your Wallet if you owe us money, including the Service Fees. You authorise us to deduct the Service Fees and any other amounts that you owe us from time to time from the funds in your Wallet. If you do not have enough funds in your Wallet to cover these amounts, we will not accept or process your instructions and may refuse to provide the Services to you. We may also, at your cost, take reasonable steps to recover the amount owing (such as taking legal action or using debt collection services).
11.17 Cancelling a FX Transaction. After a FX Transaction Confirmation is issued but before Settlement of the FX Transaction, the Customer may make a Cancellation Request via the Airwallex API or by contacting your Airwallex Account Manager, which will be confirmed in a Cancellation Confirmation issued by Airwallex. Any delta between the FX Exchange Rate quoted in the Confirmation and the FX Exchange Rate applicable to a Reverse Conversion in furtherance of a Cancellation Request (“Cancellation Delta”) will be debited from or credited to the Customer’s Global Account, as applicable. The Customer may not withdraw, amend, or cancel a Cancellation Request after Airwallex has issued a Cancellation Confirmation. If the Cancellation Request is made after Settlement Cut-Off, Airwallex may charge a fee for late cancellation.
11.18 Cancelling a Payout. You may request to cancel a Payout before Settlement of the Payout by making a Cancellation Request via the Airwallex API or by contacting your Airwallex Account Manager. If a Cancellation Request is granted, Airwallex will issue a Cancellation Confirmation. Where the Payout has an associated FX Conversion, any Cancellation Delta that arises from reversing the FX Conversion will be debited from or credited to the Customer’s Global Account, as applicable. The Customer may not withdraw, amend, or cancel a Cancellation Request after Airwallex has issued a Cancellation Confirmation. If the Cancellation Request is made after Settlement Cut-Off, Airwallex may charge a fee for late cancellation.
12. SAFETY AND SECURITY
12.1 Keep your Wallet safe. In order to use the Airwallex Platform, you (or your Authorised User) must log in using the unique password and any multiple-factor authentication: for example, we may require your Authorised User to authenticate that they are the Authorised User when logging in to the Airwallex Platform, or for certain transactions made using the Airwallex Platform. You must store all log-in information and passwords to access the Airwallex Platform safely and securely at all times and only allow Authorised Users to access the Services.
12.2 Contact us if you suspect your Wallet may be compromised. You must contact us immediately by email to [email protected] and change your password if you suspect:
(a) your Wallet, Global Account, or access to the Airwallex Platform or other security credentials are stolen, lost, used without your authorisation or otherwise compromised; or
(b) someone else finds out your log-in information and password for your Wallet.
Any undue delay in notifying us may affect the security of your Wallet, Global Account, or access to the Airwallex Platform and result in you being responsible for financial losses.
12.3 Check the transactions in your Wallet regularly. All of your activity is displayed in the Airwallex Platform. You must contact us immediately by email to [email protected] to report any (i) suspected or actual unauthorised transaction, (ii) incorrectly initiated or executed transactions such as those having not been executed or having been executed late, (iii) certain charges and interest you are liable to pay as a result of such transactions, or (iv) other security concerns regarding the Airwallex Platform. We may be able to refund money you have lost if the transaction is due to our mistake, fraud, or errors with your transaction (see clauses 12.4, 12.7, 12.9 and 12.10). If you do not notify us of any unauthorised or incorrectly initiated or executed transactions or transactions which have not been executed or were executed late or of certain charges and interest you are liable to pay as a result of such transactions, without undue delay, and at the latest within 13 months (or within 3 months if you are a Corporate Customer) of the debit date of the transaction, on becoming aware of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transaction, you may lose the right to have the matter corrected or money refunded. You also may not be able to claim a refund if:
(a) you have breached these terms;
(b) you gave us incorrect instructions for the transaction (we may reasonably assist you to recover the funds, where possible, but do not guarantee that this would be successful); or
(c) you are a Corporate Customer and any losses are not the direct result of our act or omission.
12.4 Unauthorised transactions. We will refund you as soon as practicable, and, except as permitted under Title 7b of Section 7 DCC, in any event no later than the end of the business day following the day on which we become aware of the unauthorised transaction, for an unauthorised transaction and restore you to the position you would have been in had the unauthorised transaction not taken place, subject to the following:
(a) where the Services, your Wallet, Global Account, or any log-in information and passwords are used without your authorisation you will be liable for any losses arising out of that unauthorised transaction if we believe you should have been aware of the unauthorised use;
(b) if you do not promptly notify us of security issues:
(i) in line with the timeframes of clause 12.3, you will be liable for any losses you incur up to the time that you notify us; and
(ii) within 13 months from the date of the Payout (or within 3 months if you are a Corporate Customer), we will have no liability for the unauthorised transaction;
(c) if we find that you or your Authorised Users, or anyone else acting on your behalf, has acted fraudulently (or, if you are a Corporate Customer, recklessly) we will not refund you in any circumstances;
(d) you will be solely liable for all losses if you have (i) acted fraudulently, (ii) with intent or gross negligence compromised the security of your Wallet or the Airwallex Platform or (iii) if you are a Corporate Customer, failed to, or if you are a Consumer, with intent or gross negligence failed to, comply with your obligations to use them in accordance with these terms, and to take all reasonable steps to keep all log-in information and passwords confidential and secure;
(e) provided we are able to provide a refund in accordance with Applicable Law; and
(f) if you gave us incorrect instructions for the Payout, we may reasonably assist you to recover the funds, where possible, but do not guarantee that this would be successful.
12.5 Where we refund you for an unauthorised transaction we will credit value date your balance no later than the date on which the amount of the unauthorised payout transaction was debited.
12.6 Where we refund you for an unauthorised transaction but subsequently find that you did not comply with your obligations under this clause 12, you must reimburse us for the value of the unauthorised transaction.
12.7 Non-execution or defective execution of transactions. Unless we can prove that the payment service provider of the recipient has received the amount of your Payout on time, we will be liable to you and will – without undue delay – refund your Wallet(the credit value date being no later than the date on which the amount was debited) with the amount of the non-executed or defective Payout. Where applicable, we will then restore you to the position you would have been in had the defective Payout not taken place. Upon request, we will immediately – without charge – make efforts to trace any non-executed or defectively executed Payout and will notify you of the outcome.
12.8 Late execution of transactions. Unless we can prove that the payment service provider of the recipient has received the amount of your Payout on time we will be liable to you. Where a Payout is executed late, and this is our fault or if you ask us to, we will request the payment service provider of the recipient of your Payout to ensure that the credit value date for the recipient's account is no later than the date the amount would have been value dated if the transaction has been executed correctly.
12.9 We will refund you any charges for which you are responsible and any interest which you have had to pay as a consequence of the non-execution or defective or late execution of a Payout.
12.10 Where the payment service provider of the recipient is located outside the EEA, clauses 12.7, 12.8 and 12.9 above will not apply to you.
12.11 You acknowledge that:
(a) subject to these terms and provided you are not a Consumer, Airwallex will not be responsible for or otherwise guarantee the performance of any transaction you enter into via the Airwallex Platform;

(i) (where applicable) your incorrect instructions, overpayment, payment error, or other invalid payment you cause;
(ii) any error, default, gross negligence, misconduct, or fraud by you, your employees, directors, officers, or representatives, or anyone acting on your behalf; and
(iii) any costs, charges, claims, damages, fees, disbursements, losses, expenses, fines and liability incurred by Airwallex in respect of a failure by you to comply with these terms.
12.12 If you are a Consumer, clause 12.11(e) does not apply. However, you may be liable for our reasonable costs in the circumstances set out in clause 12.11(e) (i) to (iii).
13. SERVICE FEES
13.1 You will pay us the Service Fees for the Services, which are set out in the fees schedule available here (which forms part of these terms) (‘Fees Schedule’) or as otherwise agreed in writing with us.
13.2 To access certain Services, you will be required to select one of the subscription plans specified in the Fee Schedule, on the Airwallex Platform, or otherwise agreed in writing between us from time to time (‘Subscription Plan’) and pay fees on a recurring basis, as set out in the Fee Schedule, on the Airwallex Platform or as otherwise agreed in writing (‘Subscription Fees’). By activating a Subscription Plan or using a Service that is part of a Subscription Plan (including after the completion of any trial period, if applicable), you agree to pay the applicable Subscription Fees.
13.3 Changing your Subscription Plan. You may upgrade or downgrade your Subscription Plan at any time, via the Airwallex Platform. Downgrades to an account’s Subscription Plan will take effect at the end of your then-current billing cycle, while upgrades will take effect immediately. Downgrading your Subscription Plan could mean that you will lose access to certain products and features, and you should review your account before you downgrade and take appropriate action to ensure a smooth transition for when the downgrade occurs.
13.4 Billing and Cancellation. Unless specified in the Fee Schedule or we otherwise agree in writing with you, Subscription Fees will be charged at the end of every billing cycle until cancelled. A billing cycle begins when you are first provided access to a Subscription Plan, and continues for one month. You may cancel a Subscription Plan at any time via the Airwallex Platform. If you cancel a Subscription Plan, you will continue to have access to that Subscription Plan through the end of your then current billing cycle, you are still liable to pay the Subscription Fees for the current billing cycle. Cancelling a Subscription Plan only discontinues your permission to use the services associated with your Subscription Plan and does not terminate your account. After you have cancelled a Subscription Plan, your account and related information are maintained by Airwallex and remain accessible to you, to ensure that you are able to access your account and existing data upon reactivating your subscription to the Services. your account can be reactivated on your request. You may reactivate your access to a Subscription Plan at any time via the Airwallex Platform.
13.5 Invoices. In respect of certain Services, we may invoice you for amounts due or payable under these terms on a monthly basis. Any invoices we issue must be paid by you in a timely manner in order for you to continue your access to the Services and no later than the date specified on the invoice. If full payment is not received on time, we may suspend your use of the Services and access to any associated accounts until we receive the full invoiced payment.

(a) are exclusive of all taxes and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future, all of which you will be responsible for and will pay in full;
(b) will be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding unless prohibited by Applicable Law. If the Customer is obliged by Applicable Law to deduct withholding tax from any payment:
(i) it will promptly notify Airwallex of the requirement;
(ii) the Parties will make all necessary filings in order to ensure the provisions of any applicable tax treaty applies to the payment;
(iii) the Customer will pay to Airwallex such additional amount as will result in the receipt by Airwallex of the full amount which would otherwise have been receivable had no withholding or deduction been payable;
(iv) the Customer will pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld when due; and
(v) the Customer will promptly forward to Airwallex an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Airwallex, evidencing payment to such authorities.

(a) any Customer Data;
(b) any modification of the Airwallex Platform, other than by or on behalf of Airwallex;
(c) your possession or use of the Airwallex Platform (or any part of it):

(e) compliance with your specifications or instructions.

(d) will take reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of such information, at least as stringent as those taken to protect its own Confidential Information.
15.4 In addition, each Party may reveal the other Party’s Confidential Information only to its agents, representatives and employees who have a ‘need to know’ such information in connection with these terms, and are informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and agree to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of this clause 15. Each Party will remain liable for any disclosure of Confidential Information by its agents, representatives and employees as if it had made such disclosure.

Subject to reasonable security measures and Applicable Law, we will notify you before any suspension of processing under clause 6.7, if we are able to do so, or otherwise immediately after such suspension.
6.9. Settlement Payments shall be paid in the Settlement Currency unless agreed otherwise in writing by you and us from time to time. Where we apply a currency conversion, we shall use our prevailing exchange rate of the day determined by us or such other rate as we may agree in writing.
6.10. In addition to the foregoing, we may, in our sole discretion, impose a Reserve on all or a portion of your Settlement Payment. If we impose a Reserve, we will provide you with a notice specifying the terms of the Reserve. The terms of this notice may require:
(a) that a certain percentage of your Settlement Payment is held for a certain period of time;
(b) that a fixed amount of your Settlement Payment is withheld and shall not be paid to you in accordance with Clause 6.2 of these Terms; or
(c) such other restrictions that we determine are necessary to protect against the risk to us associated with our business relationship.
We may impose a Reserve immediately and provide you with the notice after we have imposed the Reserve in circumstances where we reasonably determine such as to mitigate our financial exposure. We may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.
6.11. Settlement Payments subject to a Reserve are not immediately available for payment to your Merchant Bank Account or Global Account (as applicable) for making Refunds. Other restrictions described in Clause 6.10(c) above may include:
(a) limiting Settlement Payments immediately available to you;
(b) changing the speed or method of making Settlement Payments to you;
(c) setting off any amounts owed by you against your Settlement Payments and/or requiring that you, or a person associated with you, enter into other forms of security arrangements with us (for example, by providing a guarantee or requiring you to deposit funds with us as security for your obligations to us or third parties).
6.12. We may hold a Reserve as long as we deem necessary, in our sole and absolute discretion, to mitigate any risks related to your Transactions. You agree that you will remain liable for all obligations related to your Transactions even after the release of any Reserve. In addition, we may require you to keep your Merchant Bank Account or Global Account or other accounts with Airwallex available for any open settlements, Chargebacks and other adjustments.
6.13. To secure your performance of these Terms and to comply with Network Rules, you grant to Airwallex a security interest (in the form of a charge) to any Settlement Payments held in Reserve which may be increased as necessary to adapted risk exposure. Airwallex has information rights regarding your financial situation in relation hereto.

10. REFUNDS
10.1. You shall maintain and disclose to Buyers at the time of purchase a policy for the return of goods or cancellation of services.

10.2. The form and procedure for making Refunds shall depend on the relevant Payment Method. A Refund only arises in circumstances where there is an originating Transaction which is being reversed or partially reversed. We will not be able to process any Refund request if (i) the amount of the Refund exceeds the amount of the originating Transaction. or (ii) you do not have sufficient balance in your Aggregate Payment Amount or sufficient funds in your account with Airwallex. We shall be authorized to deduct the Refund from your Aggregate Payment Amount and the funds in your account with Airwallex.
10.3. A Refund request may be processed only if it is made within one year or such other period as determined by the Network or Payment Method Provider from the date of the originating Transaction.
10.4. We may refuse to execute a Refund if it does not meet the conditions in these Terms or is prohibited by Applicable Law or Sanctions Laws, or rejected by the Acquirer. If we do refuse to execute a Refund, within the time for processing the Refund we will notify you (i) (unless prohibited by Applicable Law or Sanction Laws) of the refusal, (ii) (if possible) the reasons for such refusal, and (iii) (where it is possible to provide reasons for the refusal and those reasons relate to factual matters) the procedure for correcting any factual mistakes that led to it. Any request for a Refund that we refuse will be deemed not to have been received for the purposes of execution times and liability for non-execution or defective execution under Applicable Law.
10.5. Where we execute a Transaction or Refund in accordance with details provided by you, the Transaction or Refund will be deemed to have been correctly executed by us and any other payment service provider involved. Where the details provided by you are incorrect, we are not liable for the non-execution or defective execution of the Transaction or Refund, but we will make reasonable efforts to recover the funds involved in such a Transaction or Refund and we may charge you for any such efforts.
10.6. We will apply a Refund Fee as set forth in the Fee Schedule to any Refunds that are requested even where the Refund is not actually processed. You acknowledge that Refunds may not be processed by us where you have insufficient funds in the relevant currency.
10.7. You agree that each Refund Fee represents a debt immediately due and payable by you to us.
10.8. Without limiting any of the foregoing in this clause 10, in the event that we process a Refund, if such Refund relates to a Transaction that was subject to the FX Conversion Fee, you agree that the conversion of the relevant currency for the purposes of the Refund will be subject to the FX Conversion Fee and the prevailing relevant exchange rate as determined by Airwallex.
10.9 You must retain all documentation relating to a Refund for a period of at least 24 months, or such longer time as indicated from time to time by us, a Network or Applicable Law.
11. CHARGEBACKS
11.1. We have rights in relation to Chargebacks for charges: (i) which are disputed, in accordance with the procedure described herein; (ii) in respect of which a Buyer has rights under law to withhold payment; (iii) in respect of which there has been actual or alleged fraud, (iv) in respect of which you have not complied with these Terms (including omitting any transmission data from charge submissions), even if we had notice when we paid you for a charge that you did not comply with and even if you obtained authorization for the charge in question; (v) for which you did not obtain the Buyer’s approval of the full exact amount of the charge prior to submission; and (vi) as provided elsewhere in these Terms.
11.2. You agree that each Chargeback and each Assessment represents a debt immediately due and payable by you to us. We may reverse a Transaction by deducting, withholding, recouping from, or offsetting against our payments to you (or debit your Account) or we may notify you of your obligation to pay us, which you must do promptly and fully. Our failure to demand payment does not waive our rights hereunder.
11.3. You acknowledge and agree that you are required to reimburse us for Chargebacks in circumstances where you have accepted payment in respect of the relevant Transaction, even if you are under no legal liability in respect of the supply of the goods or services concerned. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, we shall notify you as soon as reasonably practicable of any applicable Chargebacks and Chargeback Costs which have occurred or been incurred.
11.4. Any Chargebacks for which you are required to reimburse us shall correspond to the whole or part of the Transaction Value in the currency of the original Transaction. Unless you have an account with us in the currency in which the Chargeback is charged, the Chargeback amount may be converted to the Settlement Currency from the currency of Chargeback at the exchange rate quoted to us or as we otherwise determine.
11.5. Pre-chargeback Services.
(a) We may, in our sole discretion, require you to use pre-chargeback services (“Pre-chargeback Services”) based on the Chargeback ratio or other risk factors of your transactions. The Pre-chargeback Services allow you to automatically refund certain disputed transactions to the buyer. If you are required to use Pre-chargeback Services, we will provide you with a notice and specify any thresholds applied to automatic refunds. Additionally you agree to pay the relevant service fees (“Pre-chargeback Service Fees”).
(b) You acknowledge the Pre-chargeback Services are ultimately provided by affiliates of Networks or other third parties (“Pre-chargeback Service Provider”).
(c) You acknowledge and agree that we may set up, configure, change or update thresholds or other parameters (“Pre-chargeback Parameters”) in relation to each Pre-chargeback Service. Any changes or updates to the Pre-chargeback Parameters made by us shall become effective immediately and notified to you thereafter.
(d) You authorise us to share any Customer Data with the Pre-chargeback Service Providers where they request such data in connection with their provision of the Pre-chargeback Services.
11.6. In the event that you wish to dispute a Chargeback, it is your responsibility:
(a) to prove to our reasonable satisfaction (which shall, subject to Clause 11.5 and without limitation, be conditional upon the relevant Network, Local Payment Network, Acquirer or Payment Method Provider, as the case may be, confirming it is satisfied) that the debit of the Buyer’s account was authorised by such Buyer; and
(a) (additionally) to provide us with such other evidence as we or any Network, Local Payment Network, Acquirer or Payment Method Provider may require you to provide in support of your claim. The evidence required to be provided will depend on, among other things, the nature of the Chargeback, and may vary accordingly.
11.7. Subject to the Network Rules, we shall not be obliged to investigate the validity of any Chargeback or Assessment. You acknowledge and agree that any decision or determination of the relevant Network, Local Payment Network, Acquirer or Payment Method Provider as to the validity and extent of any Chargeback and/or Assessment shall be final and binding.
11.8. As Chargebacks may arise a considerable period of time after the date of the relevant Transaction, you acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any termination of these Terms for whatever reason, we shall remain, without prejudice to Clause 6, entitled to (i) use Pre-chargeback Services to process pre-chargeback requests in relation to Transactions effected during the term of these Terms and recover Pre-chargeback Service Fees or other relevant costs from you; and (ii) recover Chargebacks and Chargeback Costs from you (and, where relevant, from any Person who has provided us with a guarantee or security relating to your obligations under these Terms) in respect of all Chargebacks that occur in relation to Transactions effected during the term of these Terms.
11.9. If you wish to dispute a Chargeback or Assessment, you will do so in accordance with the applicable procedure set out in the Network Rules. In the case of a disputed Chargeback or Assessment, you must provide us within any specified timeframe with the evidence required by us, Network, Local Payment Network, Acquirer or Payment Method Provider. If (i) you engage or participate in fraudulent, deceptive, or unfair business practices, illegal activities, or permit (or fail to take reasonable steps to prevent) prohibited uses of the Card; or (ii) you experience a disproportionately high number or amount of disputed charges or fraud relative to your prior history or industry standards and a Network places you in a Fraud Full Recourse Programme as a result you acknowledge that (a) we or the Network may exercise Chargeback rights without contacting you where a Buyer disputes a charge for actual or alleged fraud; and (b) you will have no right to request a reversal of our decision to exercise our Chargeback rights.
11.10. We will apply a Chargeback Fee as set forth in the Fee Schedule to any Chargeback.
11.11. We may suspend all or part of the Services if the ratio of Chargebacks to Transactions is excessive or we otherwise consider, in our sole and absolute discretion, that the total volume or value of Chargebacks is excessive.
11.12. Without limiting any of the foregoing in this clause 11, in the event of a Chargeback that relates to a Transaction that was subject to the FX Conversion Fee, you agree that the conversion of the relevant currency for the purposes of the Chargeback will be subject to the FX Conversion Fee and the prevailing relevant exchange rate as determined by Airwallex.
12. INFORMATION REQUEST & PERIODIC REVIEWS
12.1. If we request any transaction data or proof of a Transaction, you shall provide the original receipts and relevant Transaction records to us via e-mail within two (2) Business Days of our request.
12.2. You shall assist us and any Payment Method Provider in handling properly all complaints from Buyers on the relevant Payment Method, and shall implement suggestions put forward by us or the Payment Method Provider.
12.3. You shall, at your own expense, cooperate with us, a Network, a Local Payment Network, Acquirer, Payment Method Provider or Regulator regarding any investigation, enquiry or proceedings in connection with matters arising out of these Terms or your relationship with us and provide any information or records as reasonably requested by the relevant party.12.4. Airwallex may carry out a periodic review of your use of the Services once during each calendar year, or at any time if Airwallex determines that:
(a) the Transaction Mix figures differ from the Transaction Mix figures you previously provided to Airwallex; or(b) the Transaction Mix figures that Airwallex used to calculate any Service Fee.If the actual or projected Transaction Mix figures materially differ from previous Transaction Mix, then Airwallex may revise the Service Fees based on the then current or projected Transaction Mix (as reasonably determined by Airwallex) by giving you thirty (30) days’ written notice ("Fee Change Notice Period"). If you do not accept the revised Service Fees within the Fee Change Notice Period, you must terminate these Terms by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to Airwallex, otherwise those revised Service Fees will become binding on you under these Terms (unless you and Airwallex otherwise agree in writing) upon the expiration of the Fee Change Notice Period.
12.5. You must promptly provide us with any information reasonably requested by Airwallex in relation to any periodic review carried out under these Terms.
13. FOREIGN CURRENCY & CURRENCY CONVERSIONS
13.1. Settlement Currency. As and where supported by the relevant Payment Method Providers, Airwallex will process Transactions and pay Settlement Payments to you in the Settlement Currency. You acknowledge that Airwallex is not obliged to process any Transaction, or settle a Settlement Payment to you, in a currency that is not a Supported Currency.
13.2. Pricing structure for Card Transactions. You acknowledge that we may agree on a 'blended' pricing structure or an 'Interchange++' pricing structure with you in respect of Card Transactions. For the 'blended' pricing structure, you acknowledge that the underlying interchange and scheme fees component of the Service Fees for Card Transactions is calculated by Airwallex based on the Transaction Mix figures that you report to Airwallex from time to time, as required under these Terms. Under the ‘Interchange++' pricing structure, you acknowledge that Airwallex calculates the underlying interchange and scheme fees component of the Service Fees for Card Transactions based on the actual interchange fee that is attracted by the relevant Transaction, according to interchange pricing published (and varied) by the Card Networks from time to time. In the event of economic (including but not limited to inflation or currency devaluation), tax or political conditions or other conditions beyond our control in a particular country which alter the financial value or risk of financial exposure to Airwallex or a Network because of the discount rate or the speed of payment, we may, upon seven (7) days written notice to you in that particular country, increase the discount rate and/or change the speed of payment and/or mode of pay (e.g., cease electronic pay) applicable to Transactions made in such region or country.
13.3. Foreign Currency Settlement Fee. Subject to clause 13.5, if the Transaction currency is in any other currency other than Euro, and we pay the Settlement Payment to you in that other currency, then Airwallex will charge you a Foreign Currency Settlement Fee on the Transaction Value. For example, if the Transaction currency is in USD and the Settlement Payment is made in USD, we will charge you a Foreign Currency Settlement Fee.
13.4. FX Conversion Fee. Subject to clause 13.5 if we pay the Settlement Payment to you in a Settlement Currency that is different from the Transaction currency, then Airwallex will charge you a FX Conversion Fee on the Transaction Value. For example, if the Transaction is in USD and we settle EUR to you, we will charge you a FX Conversion Fee.
13.5. Applicability of Foreign Currency Settlement Fee and FX Conversion Fee. The Parties acknowledge and agree that:
(a) the Foreign Currency Settlement Fee and the FX Conversion Fee will apply in respect of all Card Transactions unless an 'Interchange++' pricing structure has been agreed with you in writing in respect of Card Transactions, in which case only the FX Conversion Fee will be applicable to such transactions; and
(b) the Foreign Currency Settlement Fee is not applicable to LPM Transactions.
13.6. Currency conversions by Airwallex and Payment Method Providers. You acknowledge and agree that:
(a) a Payment Method Provider may convert the Transaction currency into another currency before it is received by Airwallex using the prevailing exchange rate(s) determined by the Payment Method Provider; and
(b) Airwallex may convert the Transaction currency or, if applicable, the currency received from a Payment Method Provider under clause 13.6(a), using the prevailing exchange rate determined by Airwallex into the Settlement Currency before making a Settlement Payment to you.
In relation to certain Transactions in currencies not directly supported by Airwallex, more than one currency conversion may be required under this clause 13.6 to convert a Transaction currency to the Settlement Currency. For example, if a Transaction is made via a Payment Method Provider in an exotic currency that Airwallex does not directly support, that Payment Method Provider may convert and settle the relevant Transaction currency in USD to Airwallex and, if your Settlement Currency is EUR, Airwallex may convert that USD amount to EUR and pay it to you as the Settlement Payment.
13.7. Supported Currency changes. Without limiting any of our rights under these Terms, Airwallex may add, restrict or remove any Supported Currency from time to time during the Term and, without limiting the foregoing, a Payment Method Provider may add, restrict or remove a currency they support from time to time.
13.8. Buyer warnings. You are solely responsible for giving any notices, warnings or disclaimers regarding prices and other amounts displayed to a Buyer when making a proposed Transaction (whether the Transaction is to be in Euro or any other currency) including, but not limited to, warning a Buyer that they may be charged foreign currency fees by their card issuer and providing any other warnings required by Applicable Law in relation to a Transaction involving a foreign currency.
13.9. You acknowledge and agree that, to the extent that the FX Conversion Fee applies to any reversal of the original Transaction by us under these Terms (including, but not limited to, a Refund or Chargeback) (a 'Reversal'), you acknowledge and agree that the Merchant bears the risk of any movement in exchange rate between the time of processing the original Transaction and the time of processing the relevant Reversal.

15.6.

SCHEDULE 2 - COMMERCIAL ENTITY AGREEMENT FOR CARD PROCESSING SERVICES
This Commercial Entity Agreement for Airwallex Payment Card Funded Processing Services (‘Commercial Entity Agreement’ or ‘CEA’) is agreed with all Merchants that are Commercial Entities (as defined by Visa Europe, Visa Inc, Visa International, MasterCard Worldwide, UK Maestro, Solo, International Maestro, American Express Payment Services Limited and/or American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (together the ‘Networks’)). Each such Merchant may be referred to herein as ‘you’ and/or ‘your’. This CEA constitutes your separate legally binding contract for credit and debit card processing for Airwallex transactions between you and the Acquirer (as defined below). For the purposes of this CEA, ‘Acquirer’ will mean_____________. In this CEA ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refer to the Acquirer.
In accordance with the provisions of this CEA, the Acquirer may terminate its provision of credit and debit card processing services and require Airwallex to enforce any of the provisions of the Merchant’s agreement(s) with Airwallex (‘Airwallex Agreement’), agreed by and between the Merchant and Airwallex.
Merchant agrees to the terms and conditions of this CEA. The Merchant further agrees that this CEA forms a legally binding contract between the Merchant and Acquirer; Airwallex is not a party to this contract and acts only as Acquirer’s agent in connection with it. If we propose to change this CEA in a substantial manner, Airwallex will provide you on our behalf with at least 30 days' (or such minimum period as is required by law) prior notice of such a change. After the notice period elapses, you will be deemed to have agreed to all such amendments to the CEA. To amend this CEA but not in a substantial manner, Airwallex will post on our behalf a revised version of the CEA on the Airwallex website(s), and the revised version will be effective at the time Airwallex posts it. If you disagree with any proposed amendments, you may close your Airwallex account before the expiry of the notice period provided in the notice and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Airwallex Agreement, and this CEA will terminate on the closure of your account. A change to this CEA will be considered to be made in a “substantial manner” if the change involves a reduction to your rights or increases your responsibilities.
Overview of this CEA
When your customers pay you through Airwallex, they have the option of paying you through a funding source supported by Airwallex including a card. In most instances, you will not know the funding source that your customer selected. Since you may be the recipient of a card funded payment, the Networks require that you enter into a direct contractual relationship with an Acquirer who is a member of the Networks. By entering into this CEA, you are fulfilling such Network requirement and you are agreeing to comply with Network rules as they pertain to payments you receive through the Airwallex service.
Acquirer obligations
The Acquirer’s obligations under this CEA are limited exclusively to the processing of the Merchant's card transactions in the territory in which the Merchant is based and the receipt and disbursement of related funds to Airwallex for the account of the Merchant (the ‘Acquiring Services’). All other obligations relating to the provision of the services under the Airwallex Agreement are the responsibility of Airwallex and any issue, dissatisfaction, dispute and/or service dispute of the Merchant relating to any services provided to the Merchant should be notified to and brought against Airwallex in the first instance. Subject to the terms of this CEA and the Airwallex Agreement, the Acquirer will initiate a payment to the designated account (as made known to the Acquirer by Airwallex) of an amount equal to the value of card transactions processed by the Acquirer for the Merchant under this CEA (less deductions for refunds, fines, assessments, chargebacks, chargeback costs, fees or other Merchant liabilities (whether actual or anticipated) under this CEA or the Airwallex Agreement). Any obligation of the Acquirer to remit funds under this CEA is subject to any rights of the Acquirer under its agreement with Airwallex.
The Merchant agrees that any payment made to Airwallex by the Acquirer under this CEA will be deemed good receipt by the Merchant of the sums due from the Acquirer to the Merchant in relation to the Acquirer’s liability to the Merchant under this CEA. The Merchant will indemnify the Acquirer and keep the Acquirer indemnified against all losses, costs, claims, demands, expenses (including legal expenses) and liabilities of any nature (including any re-settlement obligations under the Network rules) arising from or relating to the payment of funds by the Acquirer into an account in the name of Airwallex in accordance with the terms of this CEA.
Throughout the term of this CEA and after its termination for any reason, the Acquirer will be entitled to defer (for such period as it shall in its reasonable discretion consider appropriate) the date upon which the payment of funds in respect of card transactions would (but for this clause) be due in order to protect its position with respect to actual or anticipated chargebacks, fines, assessments, refunds, chargeback costs, fees, fraud, illegal activity or any other liability of the Merchant or relating to any card transactions or under this CEA or the Airwallex Agreement, whether actual or anticipated. Amounts so deferred may be set-off against any actual chargebacks, fines, assessments, refunds, chargeback costs, fees or any other liability of the Merchant. The Merchant understands and acknowledges that during the term of this CEA and after its termination for any reason whatsoever, the Merchant shall continue to bear total responsibility for all chargebacks, chargeback costs, refunds, fines, assessments, fees, fraud and illegal activity resulting in any way from card transactions processed pursuant to this CEA and all other amounts then due or which thereafter may become due under this CEA or the Airwallex Agreement.
Deposit Transactions. Merchant agrees that it shall only accept payments through Airwallex processing services for bona fide transactions between the Merchant and its customer for the sale of goods or services. Merchant shall not submit a transaction for the refinance or transfer of an existing obligation that was uncollectible. Merchant acknowledges that for Visa and MasterCard payments, Airwallex shall obtain an authorization for transaction amounts prior to completing the transaction.
Split Transactions. Merchant agrees not to split the sale into two (or more) separate amounts in order to avoid obtaining authorisation for the full amount. Except, however in an instance where the Merchant and cardholder agree on a partial shipment of product, or where the transaction qualifies for delayed delivery or special order deposits (such as partial shipments based on inventory on hand), a sale may be split into multiple transactions.
Minimum or Maximum/Surcharges. Merchant agrees that it shall not set minimum or maximum transaction amounts or impose surcharges as a condition of honoring Visa, MasterCard or AMEX cards, unless otherwise permitted in the particular jurisdiction of a transaction.
Visa, MasterCard and AMEX Marks. Merchant is authorized to and must use the Visa, MasterCard and AMEX logos or marks on Merchant’s promotional materials and website to indicate that Visa, MasterCard and AMEX cards are accepted as funding sources for Airwallex transactions.
Discrimination. Merchant agrees that it shall not engage in any acceptance practice that discriminates against or discourages the use of Visa, MasterCard and AMEX in favour of any other card brand unless otherwise permitted in the particular jurisdiction of a transaction.
Access to Cardholder Data. Merchant acknowledges that where it has access to Cardholder Data (defined as the cardholder’s card number, expiration date, and CVV2) it will abide by any data security standards of the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (or any replacement body), Visa, Mastercard, or AMEX including the Payment Card Industry SSC Standards. In addition, Merchant agrees to comply with the data security standards required by Airwallex under the Airwallex Agreement, as may be amended from time to time. In the event that Merchant receives Cardholder Data in connection with the Airwallex Processing Services, Merchant agrees that it will not use the Cardholder Data for any purpose that it knows or should know to be fraudulent or in violation of any Network rules. Merchant also agrees that it will not sell, purchase, provide or exchange in any manner or disclose Cardholder Data to anyone other than its acquirer, Visa or MasterCard (as applicable) or in response to a government request.
Merchant Identification. Merchant agrees to prominently and unequivocally inform the cardholder of the identity of the Merchant at all points of interaction including the location (physical address) of the Merchant to enable the cardholder to easily determine whether the transaction will be a domestic transaction or a cross-border transaction.
Chargebacks. Merchant shall use all reasonable methods to resolve disputes with the cardholder. Should a chargeback dispute occur, Merchant shall promptly comply with all requests for information from Airwallex. Merchant shall not attempt to recharge a cardholder for an item that has been charged back to the cardholder, unless the cardholder has authorized such actions.
Merchant’s Refund Policy must be on Merchant’s Website. If Merchant limits refund/exchange terms or other specific conditions for Card sales, Merchant’s policy must be clearly provided to the cardholder prior to the sale and Merchant must conform with all applicable laws and the Network rules.
Audit. Upon Acquirer’s request, the Merchant must promptly disclose to Acquirer such information as Acquirer reasonably requires in order to enable Acquirer to perform its obligations, and/or assess its financial and insurance risks in connection with the services provided, and/or to assess the Merchant’s compliance with the terms of the CEA and/or the Network Rules.
Term and Termination. This CEA is effective upon the date the Airwallex Agreement between the Merchant and Airwallex comes into force and continues so long as the Airwallex Agreement remains in force between Merchant and Airwallex but shall automatically terminate without notice on termination (opzeggen of ontbinden) of such Airwallex Agreement for any reason, provided that those terms which by their nature are intended to survive termination (including without limitation, indemnification obligations and limitations of liability) shall survive.
This CEA may be terminated (opzeggen of ontbinden) by the Acquirer at any time in the event of a breach of any of the Merchant’s obligations under this CEA or the Airwallex Agreement, or by the Merchant in the event of a breach of any of the Acquirer’s obligations under this CEA, or by the Acquirer in the event of the termination of the acquiring services agreement entered into between Airwallex (or its applicable affiliates) and the Acquirer as notified to the Merchant.
Indemnification. The Merchant agrees to indemnify and hold the Acquirer harmless from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expense: (a) resulting from any breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement or any misrepresentation by the Merchant under this CEA; (b) arising out of the Merchant’s or its employees’ gross negligence or wilful misconduct, (c) arising in connection with Card transactions or otherwise arising from the Merchant’s provision of goods and services to cardholders or customers; (d) arising out of Merchant’s use of the Airwallex Service; or (e) resulting from any fines or arising out of any third party indemnifications Acquirer is obligated to make as a result of Merchant’s actions (including indemnification of any Network or card issuing bank).
Assignment/Amendments. This CEA may not be assigned by the Merchant without the prior written consent of the Acquirer. This provision has proprietary effect (goederenrechtelijk effect). The Acquirer may assign its rights under this CEA without the Merchant’s consent.
Warranty Disclaimer. This CEA is a service agreement. The Acquirer disclaims all representations or warranties, express or implied, made to the Merchant or any other person, including without limitation, any warranties regarding quality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise of any services or any goods provided incidental to the services provided under this CEA to the extent permitted by law.
Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this CEA to the contrary, in no event will the Acquirer, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, be liable under any theory of tort, contract, strict liability or other legal theory for loss of profits, income or anticipated savings, loss of business, contracts or customers, or loss of goodwill, reputational damage, damage to or loss of information or data, damage or loss as a result of business interruption, or damage or loss as a result of claims from the Parties’ customers or suppliers, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties, regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable, known, foreseen or otherwise or whether the Acquirer has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding anything in this CEA to the contrary, in no event shall the Acquirer be liable or responsible for any delays or errors in its performance of the services caused by our service providers or other parties or events outside of the Acquirer's reasonable control, including Airwallex. Notwithstanding anything in this CEA to the contrary, the Acquirer's cumulative liability for all losses, claims, suits, controversies, breaches or damages for any cause whatsoever arising out of or related to this CEA and regardless of the form of action or legal theory and whether or not arising in contract or tort (including negligence) shall not exceed the total volume of all transactions, expressed as a Euro dollar amount processed by the Merchant under this CEA via Airwallex. Nothing in this CEA shall exclude or limit any liability of any party for death or personal injury caused by negligence or fraud, deceit or fraudulent misrepresentation, howsoever caused.
Waiver. The failure of a party to assert any of its rights under this CEA, including, but not limited to, the right to terminate (opzeggen of ontbinden) this CEA in the event of breach or default by the other party, will not be deemed to constitute a waiver by that party of its right to enforce each and every provision of this CEA in accordance with its terms.
Relationship between the parties. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment relationship is created between Merchant and Acquirer by way of this CEA. In the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, the parties are, and will be, independent contractors. Nothing in this CEA will be construed to constitute either party as the agent for the other for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party will bind, or attempt to bind, the other party to any contract or the performance of any obligation, and neither party will represent to any third party that it has any right to enter into any binding obligation on the other party's behalf.
No Illegal Use of Services. The Merchant will not access and/or utilize the Acquiring Services for illegal purposes and will not interfere or disrupt networks connected with the Acquiring Services.
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this CEA will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof will be prohibited by or determined to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this CEA.
Governing Law. This CEA (and the relationships referred to or contemplated by it) shall be governed and construed in accordance with the law of the Netherlands and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands with respect to any dispute hereunder.

The below list is not an exhaustive list of the Local Payment Methods offered by Airwallex, and there are Local Payment Methods for which there are no Specific LPM Terms.
Cards & Spend Management Terms
Formerly Issuing Terms
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 These Cards & Spend Management Terms (the ‘Terms’) is a supplement to the Cards & Spend Management Terms (the ‘Customer Agreement’) and it must be read together with the Customer Agreement. These Terms together with the Customer Agreement govern the use of Airwallex cards (‘Cards’) by you (‘Customer’ or ‘you’) and your Additional Cardholders. These Terms are incorporated into and form part of the Customer Agreement as if set out in full in the Customer Agreement. Unless otherwise defined throughout and clause 9 of these Terms, all capitalised terms have the meanings given in the Customer Agreement.
1.2 You should also download a copy of these Terms and keep it for future reference or ask us for a copy at any time. You can always see the most current version of these Terms (as well as the Customer Agreement), on our website www.airwallex.com.
1.3 The Card is issued by Airwallex (Netherlands) B.V. (‘Airwallex’, ‘us’ or ‘we’), which has its registered office at Herengracht 168, 1016 BP, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Airwallex’s contact details are set out in the Customer Agreement.
1.4 You or any Authorised User may request that a Card be issued to you or any Additional Cardholder in accordance with clause 3. If we agree to your request, these Terms shall apply to the use of any Cards we issue to you or any Additional Cardholder. By applying for, or using, a Card, you confirm that you accept and agree to these Terms as it may be amended from time to time by Airwallex in accordance with the Customer Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of these Terms, please do not apply for, or use, your Card.
2. USING THE CARD
2.1 Applying for a Card. You or an Authorised User may request a Card, to be issued in the form of a virtual card (‘Virtual Card’) or a physical card (‘Physical Card’) if we agree to the request:
(a) if you or an Authorised User requests a Virtual Card, a Virtual Card consisting of a 16-digit account number, expiry date and ‘(CVV/CVV2)’ code (the ‘Card Details’) will be made available to you through the Airwallex Platform; and
(b) if you or an Authorised User requests a Physical Card, a Physical Card will be sent to you in the mail to the address given to us at the time of request.
2.2 Your Card is linked to your Wallet and can be used to pay for goods and services using the balance of your Wallet. We will not set up a separate account in connection with your Card. The Card is not a credit card and can only be used for purchases up to the value of your Wallet balance at any given time. Before making a Payment you must therefore ensure that your Wallet has sufficient balance as we will not provide you with any credit in connection with your use of the Card.
2.3 You must only use your Card for lawful purposes. All Cards remain our property and we may request that you return all Cards to us at any time.
2.4 Virtual Card. A Virtual Card may be used to make purchases over the phone or the internet or in any ‘card not present transaction’ by entering your Card Details where Visa is accepted as a means of payment. A Virtual Card cannot be used to make a payment in person or in any transaction which requires the use of a Physical Card. Virtual Cards may be issued for one time use (meaning they can only be used for a single transaction) or can be issued so that they can be used repeatedly until the expiry date.
2.5 Physical Card. When you receive a Physical Card, you must sign the back of the Card and activate the Card. Physical Cards may be used in the same way as a Virtual Card and may also be used for in store and card present transactions where Visa is accepted electronically. We may permit the use of Physical Cards for cash withdrawals at an automated teller machine (ATM). We may not permit the Card to be used for manual or offline transactions. If the Card functionality will be so limited we will notify you of this at the time we approve you for a Physical Card.
2.6 If your Physical Card has the payWave logo present, you may be able to make transactions by tapping your Card against the contactless reader at a participating merchant. If your purchase is under €45 you may be able to transact without entering your PIN, subject to our internal controls. If it is over €45 you must enter a PIN.
2.7 Pre-authorisation. You may pre-authorise the estimated amount of (or a certain percentage of) the final amount of a Card transaction with a merchant. The amount of the pre-authorisation may be reflected in the balance of your Wallet and may be made unavailable for future purchases. Any portion of such pre-authorised amount which is not applied towards the payment of goods or services will then be made available to you.
2.8 Currency conversion. Your Card may be used to make purchases in Direct Billing Currencies and Visa Supported Currencies.
2.9 If your transaction is in at:
a) Direct Billing Currency, the amount of your transaction shall be deducted from the balance of your Wallet in that Direct Billing Currency. If you do not have sufficient balance in the relevant Direct Billing Currency and you have automatic FX Exchange Rate conversions enabled for a Card, Airwallex will:
(i) automatically convert the transaction currency to your Home Currency at the prevailing FX Exchange Rate plus the Automatic Conversion Fee, as defined in the Fee Schedule; and
(ii) deduct the transaction amount from the Wallet balance of your Primary Currency.
b) Visa Supported Currency, the amount of your transaction will be converted: (i) to USD by Visa using the prevailing foreign exchange rates determined by Visa for that transaction; and (ii) Airwallex then converting that amount to the Home Currency at the then prevailing FX Exchange Rate and deducting from the balance of your Wallet maintained in your Home Currency. You acknowledge and agree that we have no control over the rates selected by Visa and Visa may charge you a fee as part of this conversion process.
2.10 Refunds. If you receive a refund on a card payment in a Supported Currency that you are permitted to hold in your Wallet, we will credit your Wallet in that currency. If you receive a refund in anything other than a Supported Currency that you are permitted to hold in your Wallet, that amount will be converted into your Home Currency before being credited to your account at an exchange rate determined by Visa (which may be different to the exchange rate for the original transaction). Generally, transactions made in one currency must be refunded in that same currency. Refunds of transactions made through your Card shall be credited to the balance of your Wallet and may not be made through other means (for example, through cash).
2.11 Merchant surcharges. In some instances you may also be charged a surcharge by merchants in connection with the use of your Card. The surcharge may be applied once you have confirmed the amount of the transaction. This surcharge may appear as a separate transaction or as part of the entire purchase amount. Once you have confirmed the transaction you will not be able to dispute the surcharge amount.
2.12 Authorisation and Suspension. Transactions on your Card may require our authorisation. We may in our reasonable discretion deny authorisation and/or suspend the use of your Card because the balance of your Wallet is insufficient, the transaction exceeds any transaction limit in connection with your Card from time to time, we suspect that there is fraud or a security issue or we suspect that your Card is being used for an illegal purpose or you have materially breached the Customer Agreement, these Terms or any Additional Terms. We will give you notice of any suspension and the reasons for such suspension as soon as we can. Where possible we will do this before the suspension is put in place, or immediately after, unless it would compromise our reasonable security measures or otherwise be unlawful. We will lift the suspension as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension have ceased to exist. We will allow you to use or if necessary replace the Card as soon as practicable after the reasons for stopping its use cease to exist. Before we authorise a transaction we may require you to confirm your identity by following certain steps specified by us. You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable to you or any other person for any loss suffered as a result of an authorisation not being granted.
2.13 Expiry date. Unless you tell us not to, we may automatically issue a new Card prior to the expiry date of an existing Card, but we are not obliged to do so. You must not use a Card after its expiry date.
2.14 Goods and Services. We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with the Card. We are not liable for any loss arising from any merchant refusing to accept your Card. Any complaints about any goods or services purchased with a Card must be resolved directly with a merchant.
2.15 Transaction and Card limits. We may from time to time agree transaction limits on your use of the Card which may be on a per day or per transaction basis. Other third party organisations may impose additional restrictions on the amount of your transactions. We may also place limits on the number of Cards you can request from us each month or that you may have active at any one time.
3. CARD MANAGEMENT; ADDITIONAL CARDHOLDERS
3.1 Who may request Cards. You and each of your Authorised Users which are authorised by you to request Cards may request a Card be issued to you or an Additional Cardholder.

You will ensure that your Additional Cardholders comply with the Customer Agreement and these Terms and in respect of your obligations and liabilities under this agreement and for such purposes any references to:
(a) ‘you’ shall (where the context requires) be read as including your Additional Cardholders; and
(b) any reference to ‘your Card’ or ‘Card’ shall (where context requires) include Cards issued to Additional Cardholders.

3.4 Your liability for Additional Cardholders. You acknowledge and agree that you are liable for all transactions made by an Additional Cardholder using a Card. You are also bound by all requests made by an Authorised User for us to issue a Card.
3.5 Cancelling a Card. You or any Authorised User which are authorised by you can view details of the Cards that have been issued in connection with your Wallet and you or any Authorised User which are authorised by you may request that any of those Cards be cancelled or temporarily suspended at any time.
3.6 You will however remain liable for all transactions made through your Card prior to its cancellation and for all transactions posted to your Wallet in respect of the period up until the Card is cancelled.
3.7 Card restrictions. You may request us to place a special restriction on:
(a) the maximum amount for a transaction that may be conducted using a Card;
(b) the place at which, or merchant with which, a Card may be used.
Such a request must be made to us in writing or, if we permit, through the Airwallex Platform. We will inform you if we approve the request.
3.8 It is your obligation to notify each Authorised User of any restrictions that apply to a Card and the rules regarding the use of Cards.
4. SAFETY AND SECURITY
4.1 You must:
(a) only allow Authorised Users authorised to use a Card issued to you to use that Card and not any other person;
(b) only allow an Additional Cardholder to use a Card that has been issued to them to use that Card and not any other person;
(c) not give your PIN to anyone else;
(d) not use identifiable numbers which could be easily guessed by someone else for your PIN;
(e) regularly monitor your account to make sure no unauthorised transactions have occurred;
(f) not record the PIN on anything carried with your Card or on anything liable to loss or theft simultaneously with your Card, unless you make a reasonable attempt to protect the security of the PIN; and
(g) if your Card is lost or stolen, if you suspect that someone else knows your PIN or your Card Details, or if you think your Card, Card Details or PIN may be misused, stop using the Card and contact us immediately.
4.2 You must also comply with any additional security requirements we notify to you from time to time.
4.3 We may disclose any information we believe to be reasonable to law enforcement agencies if we suspect there has been any unauthorised use, misuse or fraud in connection with your Card.
5. HOW TO REPORT A LOST OR STOLEN CARD OR UNAUTHORISED USE
5.1 If you believe your card has been lost or stolen or used without your authorisation you must notify us immediately by:
(a) emailing us at: [email protected]
(b) telephone: +31 850 003 369
5.2 We may request additional information from you in connection with any misuse of your card including date of transaction(s), amount(s), details of the merchant and any other details that may assist us in investigating your claim. You agree that you will cooperate with us in investigating any claims in connection with the misuse of your card.
6. LIABILITY
6.1 Subject to the terms of the Customer Agreement, you are liable for all transactions made by you, any Additional Cardholders or Authorised Users using a Card until such time as such Card expires or is cancelled.
6.2 Without limiting any clause of the Customer Agreement, you will be liable for all unauthorised transactions where you have contributed to the loss by:
(a) breaching or compromising the security of your Card, PIN, Card Details or your Wallet including by breaching clause 4 above; or
(b) delaying the reporting of the loss, theft or misuse of your Card, PIN or Card Details,
in which case you will be liable for all losses until such time as you notify us of the loss, theft or misuse of your Card. If you are not a Corporate Customer, this clause 6.2 applies to you only if you have acted fraudulently, or have intentionally or through gross negligence, failed to keep your PIN and Card Details safe and secure.
6.3 We are not responsible for any decision by a merchant to accept or reject the use of a Card or for any charges incurred by any user of a Card who does not, in fact, have sufficient authorisation from you to use the Card.
7. CHARGEBACKS
7.1 We may be entitled to seek to reverse (chargeback) transactions made through your Card where you have a dispute with the merchant that supplied the goods or services. For example, you may be entitled to reverse a transaction where the merchant has not provided you with the goods or services you paid for and you have tried to get a refund from the merchant and were unsuccessful.
7.2 To avoid losing any rights you may have to dispute such a transaction, you should:
(a) tell us as soon as possible after the date of the transaction; and
(b) provide us with any information we ask for to support your request.
7.3 If we are satisfied after investigation that you are entitled to reverse a transaction, the amount initially debited for the transaction will be credited to the Wallet in the original currency of the transaction if that currency is a Supported Currency that you are permitted to hold in your Wallet. If the same currency is not a Supported Currency that you are permitted to hold in your Wallet at the time of the reversal, the amount will be credited in the Home Currency using the then prevailing exchange rates determined by Airwallex. If the currency of the original transaction is a Visa Supported Currency, that amount will be converted by Visa into your Home Currency.
7.4 You should notify us immediately of a disputed transaction. The operating rules of the Payment Networks impose time limits for raising a dispute. Generally, under these rules Airwallex must lodge a fully detailed claim on your behalf within 120 days. If you do not notify us and provide us with sufficient information, we may be unable to investigate or lodge a claim in time in which case you will be liable for the transaction. It is your responsibility to review carefully your transaction history. We are not responsible for any loss to you if you do not ask us to reverse a transaction in time.
7.5 To notify us of a disputed transaction, please contact us and request a transaction dispute form and send the completed form to Airwallex at Airwallex Card Transaction Disputes by either:
Mail: Herengracht 168, 1016 BP, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Email: [email protected]
7.6 Please assist us by providing as much information as you can. Once we have received your completed form and associated information, we can only investigate the transaction on your behalf when the transaction has settled. Settlement of a transaction is evident when a post date is recorded in the Wallet. Our aim is to acknowledge receipt of your dispute form within 5 business days of receipt. However, the investigation of your disputed transaction may take longer.
8. AMENDING THIS AGREEMENT. For the avoidance of doubt, these Issuing Terms may be amended as set out in the Customer Agreement.
9. EXPENSE MANAGEMENT & BILL PAY
9.1 Permissions. Through the Airwallex Platform, the Customer may assign permissions to Authorised Users to:

Airwallex shall be entitled to rely on actions taken by any Authorised User in accordance with the Expense Management Permissions assigned to them by the Customer and the Customer shall be bound by such actions.

(a) an Accountholder adds an Airwallex Card for use in Apple Pay on an Accountholder’s eligible Apple Device; or
(b) an Additional Cardholder adds an Airwallex Card linked to the Accountholder’s account for use in Apple Pay on the Additional Cardholder’s Apple Device.

1.3. These Terms apply in addition to the Account Terms that apply to the Accountholder. The Accountholder shall procure that Additional Cardholders use Airwallex Cards in accordance with the Accountholder’s obligations under these Terms and the Account Terms. These Terms (together with the Account Terms) govern the use of Airwallex Cards in Apple Pay by the Accountholder (and any Additional Cardholders). Unless otherwise defined in these Terms, all capitalised terms have the meanings given in the Account Terms.
2. Adding and removing an Airwallex Card
2.1. An Accountholder can add an Airwallex Card to Apple Pay on an eligible Apple Device and any Additional Cardholder can add an Airwallex Card to the Additional Cardholder's eligible Apple Device, provided that:
(a) we can verify the Accountholder’s identity or the Additional Cardholder's identity (as applicable); and
(b) the Airwallex account of the Accountholder is in good standing, in each case, to the extent required by Airwallex at its discretion.
2.2. The Accountholder can remove an Airwallex Card linked to the Accountholder’s Wallet from Apple Pay at any time and an Additional Cardholder can remove their Airwallex Card from Apple Pay at any time.
2.3. Airwallex may remove or disable any Airwallex Card provisioned to Apple Pay at any time in accordance with Airwallex’s standard policies and procedures or in any other circumstance where Airwallex has determined it has a reasonable basis to do so.
3. Using an Airwallex Card with Apple Pay
3.1. Once an Airwallex Card is added to Apple Pay, the Cardholder can use Apple Pay to make transactions where Apple Pay is supported by the merchant. This is done by using the relevant Apple Device in place of a Physical Card at a contactless POS (point of sale) terminal for in-person transactions ("In-person Transaction") or by using the Airwallex Card to pay with Apple Pay in an application on an Apple Device or other online platforms ("Online Transaction"). Depending on the value of the transaction, Online Transactions may require the Apple Device to be unlocked prior to making the transaction, and In-person Transactions may require:
(a) the Cardholder to enter their Airwallex Card PIN; or
(b) the Cardholder to have unlocked the phone at a point prior to attempting a transaction.
3.2. Apple Pay may not work when the Apple Device is not within range of a cellular or wireless internet connection, and if the Apple Device has not had a cellular or wireless internet connection for an extended period of time, there may be a delay in time before Apple Pay works once reconnected.
3.3. The Cardholder agrees with Apple how to approve a payment, for example by using the Passcode.
- Security and the Cardholder’s liability
4.1. Any person who has access to a Cardholder’s Apple Device may be able to make transactions using an Airwallex Card registered in Apple Pay.
4.2. If an Airwallex Card is registered for Apple Pay on any eligible Apple Device, the Cardholder is responsible for ensuring that:
(a) where applicable, only the Cardholder's biometric identifier (including a fingerprint or facial detection) is registered on the Apple Device (and no other person's biometric identifier is registered);
(b) the Apple Pay wallet is not shared with anyone and is used only by the Cardholder;
(c) the Cardholder keeps the Passcode for the Cardholder's Apple Device secure in the same way as a Cardholder would a banking password or PIN secure, including by:
(i) not sharing it with anyone; and
(ii) not acting with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of the Passcode.
(d) 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 where applicable);
(e) the Cardholder removes any Airwallex Cards from the Cardholder's Apple Device before disposing of the Apple Device;
(f) when using or logged onto Apple Pay the Cardholder does not leave the Apple Device unattended; and
(g) the Cardholder takes all other necessary steps to prevent unauthorised use of Apple Pay.
4.3. If a Cardholder fails to comply with any of the requirements in this clause 4, and another person authorises a transaction from the Cardholder’s Apple Device, the Cardholder is taken to have authorised that person to transact on the Airwallex Card using Apple Pay. This means that any Apple Pay transaction initiated by that person in these circumstances will be considered as authorised by the Cardholder, and, as a result, will not constitute an unauthorised transaction under the Account Terms. Note that this could result in significant loss or liability in relation to such transactions.
4.4. The Accountholder is required to, and will procure that the Additional Cardholder will, contact us if:
(a) a Cardholder suspects that their Apple Device is lost or stolen;
(b) a Cardholder’s Apple Device's mobile service is suddenly disconnected without the
Cardholder’s permission (which may indicate that the Cardholder has been subject to mobile phone porting); or
(c) a Cardholder suspects that a security breach in relation to their Apple Device or Apple Pay, or that an unauthorised person has used the Passcode for an Apple Device, Airwallex Card PIN or the Cardholder’s other credentials to access Apple Pay.
4.5. Based on the Cardholder’s report, we will suspend the use of the Cardholder’s Airwallex Card with Apple Pay. This helps to protect the Accountholder and/or Additional Cardholder (as applicable) as much as possible from additional loss or liability.
4.6. The Account Terms which deal with unauthorised transactions apply to the use of an Airwallex Card with Apple Pay.
5. Fees and charges
There are no additional fees charges for the use of Apple Pay. Cardholders are responsible for all third party charges associated with the use of Apple Pay (such as certain transactions in a currency not directly supported by Airwallex or carriage or mobile data charges).
- Block, suspension and cancellation of Airwallex Cards in Apple Pay
6.1. Airwallex may block, suspend or cancel an Airwallex Card in Apple Pay:
(a) if Airwallex reasonably suspects fraud;
(b) if an Airwallex Card is canceled, blocked or suspended;
(c) if the Accountholder is in default under the Account Terms or these Terms including,but not limited to, where an Additional Cardholder has caused such default;
(d) if Airwallex determines that such block, suspension or cancellation is required by applicable laws (such as anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, or sanctions laws) or Airwallex’s internal policies and procedures that relate to such laws;
(e) if directed to so by Apple or by the applicable card network (for example, in circumstances of suspected fraud);
(f) ifAirwallex's arrangements with Apple regarding Apple Pay cease or are suspended; or
(g) for any other reason.
More circumstances in which an Airwallex Card may be blocked, suspended or terminated (including through Apple Pay) are set out in the Account Terms. Airwallex may take such action in relation to an Additional Cardholder’s Airwallex Card even where the Additional Cardholder is not a party to the Account Terms.
7. Data collection and privacy
7.1. Airwallex may collect information relating to a Cardholder’s Apple Device (including app version, device type and model, operating system and security information such as whether the Cardholder has obtained root access):
(a) to ensure that the Airwallex Card properly functions in Apple Pay;
(b) for security purposes and to identify fraud;
(c) for Airwallex to better provide assistance to a Cardholder; and
(d) to tell a Cardholder about other products or services that may be of interest to the Cardholder.
7.2. We may also exchange information with Apple and our other service providers:
(a) to enable the use of the Airwallex Card with Apple Pay and to improve Apple Pay generally; and
- (b) about persons involved in suspected security breaches or fraud.
7.3. If a Cardholder does not want us to collect or disclose this information as described, the Cardholder should not register an Airwallex Card for use in Apple Pay. If the Cardholder does not want to receive marketing information, please contact us. Airwallex’s contact details are set out in the Account Terms.
7.4. The Account Terms and Airwallex’s Privacy Policy contain information about our collection and handling of a Cardholder’s information.
7.5. Once an Airwallex Card is registered to a Cardholder’s Apple Device, Apple may access the Cardholder’s personal information regarding the use of that Airwallex Card through Apple Pay. Please see Apple's privacy policy at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/.
8. Apple Pay provided by Apple
8.1. Apple Pay is provided by Apple, not by Airwallex.
8.2. Airwallex's obligation to a Cardholder in relation to the functionality of Apple Pay is limited to securely supplying information to Apple in order to allow the use of an Airwallex Card through Apple Pay.
8.3. We are not otherwise liable for the use, functionality or availability of Apple Pay, any Apple Device, the availability of compatible contactless readers at merchant locations, or a reduced level of service caused by the failure of third party communications and network providers.
8.4. The Cardholder will need to agree to Apple’s terms and conditions in order to use Apple Pay, which terms will govern the relationship between the Cardholder and Apple for the use of Apple Pay.
9. Airwallex's liability
Without limiting the Account Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Airwallex will not be liable for any loss arising from a Cardholder’s use of Apple Pay to the extent that the loss was caused by:
(a) a Cardholder’s fraud, negligence or intentional misuse of an Airwallex Card, an Apple Device or Apple Pay; or
(b) a Cardholder’s use of Apple Pay or the Apple Device in a manner that is not permitted by Apple (for example, by obtaining root access to the relevant Apple Device); or

These Services may include an e-money wallet, foreign exchange services, issuance of a payment card and technology services. By using the Services you agree to any additional terms specific to the Services you use ('Additional Terms'). The Additional Terms, together with these General Terms and the Fee Schedule, become part of your agreement with us (collectively, the 'Agreement').
3.2 Creating your Airwallex Profile. In order to use the Services, you must provide the necessary information (as prompted through the Airwallex Platform or as otherwise requested by Airwallex) to register and create an Airwallex Profile. If required by Airwallex, you must provide the bank account details to be linked to your Airwallex Profile.
3.3 Airwallex will only create an Airwallex Profile and allow you to use the Services, and continue to use the Services, if Airwallex is reasonably satisfied with the information you have provided and Airwallex is reasonably able to verify this information. Airwallex may refuse a request to create an Airwallex Profile and use the Services in Airwallex’s sole discretion, acting reasonably (for example if Airwallex reasonably believes the Customer is in breach of the Acceptable Use Policy or it is prohibited, restricted or otherwise limited by legislation, requirements, policies or otherwise). You must provide us with complete, accurate and up-to-date information we reasonably request at all times, including any information we reasonably require to verify the authenticity of transactions, such as supporting invoices or documentation.
3.4 You can only have one Airwallex Profile, unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Such restrictions will be communicated to you, at the time the restriction is put in place. If that is not practical due to urgent or unforeseen circumstances or not permitted by law, we will communicate the restrictions to you promptly after the restriction is put in place or after it has become permitted to do so. In addition, Airwallex may be required to respond to and comply with binding and effective orders affecting your use of the Services, including but not limited to, orders or notices issued by a court, regulator, or any government agency ('Orders').

We will do so no later than the end of the Business Day following the day on which we become aware of the unauthorised transaction. When refunding you, we will restore your balance to the balance you would have had in the event that the unauthorised transaction had not taken place. The following applies:

We will not hold you liable for the first EUR 50 if the unauthorised transaction was caused either by our act or omission, or those of a third party expressly carrying out activities on our behalf. Your liability for the first EUR 50 also does not apply to any unauthorised transactions made after you have notified us that your Wallet or Global Account may have been compromised (using the details given by us);
b. if you do not notify us of security issues within 13 months from the date of the Payment we will have no liability for the unauthorised transaction;
c. if you, or anyone else acting on your behalf, has acted fraudulently, we will not refund you in any circumstances;

Where applicable, we will then restore your balance to the balance you would have had in the event that the defective Payment had not taken place. Upon request, we will immediately – without charge – make efforts to trace any Payments that were not executed or executed defectively and will notify you of the outcome.
7.5 Late execution of transactions. Where a Payment is executed late, and this is our fault or if you ask us to, we will request the payment service provider of the recipient of your Payment to ensure that the credit value date for the recipient's account is no later than the date the amount would have been value dated if the transaction has been executed correctly.

d. if applicable, the exchange rate used;
e. the credit value date or the debit value date;
2.8 We will send you an overview of the Global Account once a year reflecting your balance on 1 January. You can use this statement for your tax return. You will receive this statement via the Webapp.
2.9 We will provide you with an overview of the Service Fees we have charged for the previous year relating to your use of the Payout and FX Service at least once a year.
2.10 Airwallex Card. If we have agreed to issue you or any [Additional Cardholder] with a Card, the terms set out in the Issuing Terms shall apply to the use of any Cards linked to your Wallet in addition to these terms. The Issuing Terms shall be incorporated and form a part of these terms as if set out in these terms in full.
3 The foundation – safeguarding of funds
3.1 We comply with the requirements of the FSA and related Applicable Law. The Foundation holds funds corresponding to electronic money in your Wallet in one or more bank accounts separately from the other funds of Airwallex. In the event of our insolvency, you will have a right to be paid from these bank accounts of the Foundation in priority to other creditors in accordance with Applicable Law.
3.2 The Foundation acts as an independent custodian in accordance with Applicable Law, appointed by us to safeguard the funds corresponding to electronic money and received in relation to the payment services performed by us.
3.3 The Foundation acts on instructions of Airwallex. Any payments made to or by the Foundation are made on behalf of Airwallex. You will have no contractual relationship with the Foundation.
3.4 We exclude all liability of the Foundation to the extent permitted by law. You acknowledge that this clause entails a third-party clause (as referred to in Book 6, Section 253 of the Dutch Civil Code) for and for the purposes of the Foundation.
4 Getting started
4.1 Signing up. You confirm that all information supplied by you to us in applying for your Airwallex Profile and Global Account is and subsequently is (to the best of your knowledge) true, complete and accurate in all significant respects and you will not knowingly omit or withhold any information which would result in the information so supplied being false, incomplete or inaccurate in any significant respect.
4.2 You confirm you are acting on your own account, not on behalf of any other person. We will deem any use of the Wallet, including any transfers into and out of the Wallet, to have been carried out by you.
5 Receiving payments and loading money into the wallet
5.1 Funding your Wallet. You can load funds to your Wallet by logging in to the Airwallex Platform and following the steps as prompted. We may impose a maximum amount by which you may load your Wallet balance or limit the number of times you may load your Wallet balance within a specified period
5.2 Global Account collection. If we have opened a Global Account for you, you may also receive funds to your Wallet through a Global Account.
5.3 In each case, you will ensure the funds are transferred using the correct bank details and any unique transaction reference number details reasonably specified by Airwallex. If you do not provide accurate details, then we may not be able to credit your Wallet. In such cases, we will not be liable for any loss you incur, although we will use reasonable efforts to investigate and credit or return incorrect and inaccurately referenced payments into or from your Wallet.
5.4 You may load funds to the Wallet by way of a bank transfer to Airwallex. We may permit additional methods of receiving or loading money into the Wallet from time to time.
5.5 We will credit your Wallet when we receive your funds. Any credit entry in your Wallet of funds received or to be received is made under the condition that we actually received such funds. If this condition has not been satisfied (or at any point in time turns out not to have been satisfied), the credit entry may be reversed, without prior notification, as an administrative correction (so long as we are not liable for the reversal under the other terms of the Agreement). If the amount received or to be received was converted in another currency when crediting the account, the reversal may be made in the other currency at an exchange rate at the time of execution. Costs in connection with the reversal are for your account. The transfer of funds from you or other payers to your Wallet is a service provided by third parties, and is not part of our Services. We have no control over the time it may take for the transfer of such funds to clear and settle to your Global Account or Wallet.
5.6 Reversals. We may (so long as we are not liable for the reversal under the other terms of the Agreement) need to reverse a transaction and either deduct funds we have credited to your Wallet, or return funds we have debited from your Wallet, including in the following circumstances:
a. the sender, or any relevant payment services provider, reverses a transaction or is likely to reverse a transaction;
b. the sender made a transfer to you by mistake;
c. you have provided us with incorrect instructions for the transaction;
d. we suspect that a transaction is fraudulent, or is in breach of these terms or Applicable Law;
e. we exercise our rights under clause 15 'Termination' of the General Terms.
5.7 If you do not have enough funds in your Wallet for us to withdraw funds, you must reimburse us as soon as possible. If we reverse a transaction, we will do this at the prevailing FX Exchange Rate applicable at the time of the reversal or at the original FX Exchange Rate applicable to the transaction, in our discretion.
5.8 Where the funding/original transaction was paid for by Card, reversals will be effected in accordance with the Issuing Terms. For other transactions, where we make a reversal, we may choose whether to make the reversal in the currency of the original transaction or in a separate currency, for example, where the original transaction is not in a Supported Currency which can be held in your Wallet, we will generally choose to convert the amount of the reversal into your Base Currency. Where we are required to perform any currency conversions in connection with the reversal of a transaction, we will do this at the prevailing FX Exchange Rate applicable at the time of the reversal or at the original FX Exchange Rate applicable to the transaction, in our discretion.
5.9 Suspension. We may in our reasonable discretion deny a Payment and/or suspend the use of your Wallet, because:
a. the balance of your Wallet is insufficient;
b. the transaction exceeds any transaction limit in connection with your Wallet from time to time;
c. we suspect that there is fraud or a security issue or we suspect that your Wallet is being used for an illegal purpose; or
d. you have materially breached these GTPN Terms or the terms of the Agreement.
We will give you notice if we deny a Payment/ suspend the use of your Wallet and the reasons for such suspension as soon as we can. Where possible we will do this before the suspension is put in place, or immediately after, unless it would compromise our reasonable security measures or otherwise be unlawful. We will lift the suspension as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension have ceased to exist. We will allow you to use the Wallet as soon as practicable after the reasons for stopping its use cease to exist. You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable to you or any other person for any loss suffered as a result of an authorisation not being granted.
6 Making payments and fx conversions
6.1 Your instructions. You may instruct us to make a FX Conversion or Payment at any time by providing the necessary details and following the authorization process for an instruction as prompted in the Airwallex Platform. This includes a request to redeem your e-money from your Wallet by a Payment to your own account at a third party for purposes. Your instructions are irrevocable once received by us, unless we permit you to change or revoke the instruction in the Airwallex Platform.
6.2 Any instruction (for a Payment, FX Conversion or otherwise) given in the Airwallex Platform will be regarded as having been received by us on the moment that it is approved and authorized in the Airwallex Platform. Any instruction (for a Payment, FX Conversion or otherwise) received by us (a) on a day that is not a Business Day or (b) after 17:00 Amsterdam time on a Business Day will be regarded as having been received on the next Business Day.
6.3 Confirmation. You must have enough funds in your Wallet in the relevant source currency to cover the full amount of any FX Conversion or Payment (including Service Fees) that you wish to make. We may decline your instructions if you do not have enough funds, if you exceed any applicable limits, or in accordance with clause [15] 'Termination' of the General Terms. When we are satisfied with your instructions we will issue you with a Confirmation.
6.4 When you ask us to change your money into a different currency (an FX Conversion) or send it to someone else (a Payment), we will tell you how much it will cost and when you need to pay us in the Confirmation.
6.5 Payment date. You must pay us by the date in the Confirmation unless we have agreed that you must pay us at a later date when we receive funds from you (post-funding). On that date, we will take the money out of your Wallet [and it will stop being electronic money]. If that date is not a Business Day, or if we receive your instructions after 5pm on a Business Day, then the date may be adjusted by us to the next day that is a Business Day.
6.6 If you changed your money into a different currency, we will put the new money into your Wallet as electronic money on the Settlement Date.
6.7 FX Exchange Rate. You may access the indicative FX Exchange Rate for an FX Conversion through the Airwallex Platform. The indicative FX Exchange Rate will be quoted to you when you instruct us through the Airwallex Platform and the final FX Exchange Rate will be confirmed when we issue a Confirmation. We will ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, that the confirmed FX Exchange Rate reflects the rate quoted to you. The rate may be different as the rate may have changed between the time of your instruction and the time we issue the Confirmation. You agree that changes to exchange rates come into effect immediately without notice. Changes to the FX Exchange Rate depend on fluctuations in the financial markets outside our control.
6.8 We will provide you at your request with the following information with regard to a specific payment transaction initiated by you as payer: (i) the maximum execution time, (ii) the charges payable by you and (c) where applicable, a breakdown of the amounts of any charges.
6.9 Settlement requirements. Sending a Confirmation means that the FX Conversion or Payment has been authorised and can no longer be cancelled.
6.10 Execution time. If you are making a Payment and/or FX Conversion, we will remit the Payment and/or effect the FX Conversion as soon as possible. If Payout takes place in euros, we will ensure that the account of the recipient is credited with the transferred amount no later than on the end of the first Business Day immediately following the receipt of your instruction in line with these GTPN Terms.
6.11 In all circumstances other than as described in clause 6.10 we will ensure that a transfer of funds of a Payment or FX Conversion takes place within a reasonable term, not exceeding four (4) Business Days following the receipt of your instruction in accordance with these GTPN Terms.
6.12 Failed FX Conversions and Payments. We may in our reasonable discretion, acting reasonably, decide to cancel the FX Conversion or Payment, or delay the FX Conversion or Payment by rolling it over to the next Settlement Date or Payment Date (as applicable), due to reasons outside of our control such as:
e. failure of conversion in the sell currency by you to us on any FX Conversion; or
f. failure of Payment in the Payment currency by you to us on any Payment.
6.13 Transaction limits. We may apply limits to the amount of any one or a series of Payments, and we will tell you if we do so. For example, we may apply limits if you ask us to or if we reasonably think it would help manage the risk of fraud in a proportionate way.
6.14 Right of rejection. We reserve the right to withhold, reject, or delay any transaction in order to comply with Applicable Law. We may not accept your instructions for a Payment or FX Conversion if:
g. no valid exchange rates are available from our correspondent banking partners, liquidity providers, or other financial institutions;
h. any relevant anti-money laundering or counter financing of terrorism conversion limits are exceeded; or
i. you have not complied with your obligations under these terms including the Acceptable Use Policy.
6.15 Where the expected amount of a Payment from your Wallet was not specified at the moment of authorisation, you may request a refund of that amount provided that it exceeded the amount you could have reasonably expected, taking into account your previous spending pattern and the relevant circumstances of the case. You may request such a refund within 8 weeks from the debit date. Within 10 business days following the receipt of your refund request we will either provide a refund or a justification for refusing the refund.
6.16 Obligation to repay. Your Wallet balance cannot be below zero. If any transactions or charges (including any chargeback, reversal of a transaction, or withdrawal of fees) take your Wallet below zero, you must immediately repay the amount of the negative balance, without requiring notice from us to do so. If you do not, we may suspend use of your Wallet or refuse to provide the Services to you. We may also take reasonable steps to recover any amount owing to us (such as taking legal action or using debt collection services) and charge you for the cost of these services.
6.17 We can deduct funds from your Wallet if you owe us money, including the Service Fees. You authorise us to deduct the Service Fees and any other amounts that you owe us from time to time from the funds in your Wallet. If you do not have enough funds in your Wallet to cover these amounts, we will not accept or process your instructions and may (acting reasonably) refuse to provide the Services to you.
7 Payment initiation service / account information service
7.1 Some other companies can help you make payments from your Wallet or Global Account, or show you information about your Wallet or Global Account. They are known as ‘payment initiation service providers’ and ‘account information service providers’. These companies need a licence to do this, and you need to agree to let them access your Wallet or Global Account. We don't work with these companies, but we have to follow your instructions if you use them.
7.2 If you have any problems or questions about using these services, you should contact the company that provides them.
7.3 Sometimes, we might not follow a request from one of these companies. This could happen if we think they don't have the right licence, or if we suspect they are involved in fraud, or if you didn't really authorise them to access your Wallet or Global Account.
ISSUING TERMS
1 these terms
1.1 This document (the ‘Issuing Terms’) is a supplement to the General Terms and constitutes part of the Agreement between you and Airwallex. These Issuing Terms become applicable at the moment you request Airwallex to issue a Card in your name and apply to all Services provided by Airwallex in connection to the Card. These Issuing Terms together with the Payout and FX Terms and the General Terms govern the use of the Card by you. Please read these terms carefully and contact us if anything is unclear. The Customer and Airwallex will individually be referred to as a Party, and collectively, as Parties.
1.2 Please refer to clause 19 of the General Terms for a list of the definitions used in these Issuing Terms.
1.3 You should also download a copy of these Issuing Terms and keep it for future reference or ask us for a copy at any time. You can always see the most current version of these and other terms (as well as the documents below) on our website www.airwallex.com.
1.4 Please read the following additional documents which also apply to your use of the Airwallex Platform and Services and should be read together with these Terms:
a. General Terms;
b. Payout and FX Terms;
c. Acceptable Use Policy;
d. Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy; and
e. FAQs.
1.5 These Issuing Terms are Additional Terms. These Issuing Terms form a part of the General Terms and the terms included in the General Terms apply equally to these Issuing Terms. To the extent there is a conflict between these Issuing Terms, the Payout and FX Terms and the General Terms, these Issuing Terms will apply instead, followed by the Payout and FX Terms and the General Terms.
2 using the card
2.1 Applying for a Card. When you request a Card and we have approved the request, the Card will be issued in the form of a virtual card (‘Virtual Card’).
2.2 A Virtual Card shall consist of a 16-digit account number, expiry date and ‘CVV/CVV2’ code (the ‘Card Details’) which will be made available to you through the Airwallex Platform. We may in the future provide the functionality for you to be issued with a physical card (‘Physical Card’). Physical Cards will be sent to you via mail, if we approve your request for a Physical Card.
2.3 Your Card is linked to your Wallet and can be used to make Payments using the balance of your Wallet. We will not setup a separate account in connection with your Card. The Card is not a credit card and can only be used for Payments (including any applicable fees) up to the value of your Wallet balance at any given time. Before making a Payment you must therefore ensure that your Wallet has sufficient balance as we will not provide you with any credit in connection with your use of the Card.
2.4 You may only use your Card for lawful purposes and in accordance with the Network Rules. The Network Rules applying to you at the time of you agreeing to these Issuing Terms are covered by the terms of the Agreement. If there are any later changes or additions to the Network Rules that you need to follow, we will make those changes or additions under clause 4 of the General Terms including by giving you a clear explanation of what those changes or additions are and how they apply to you. All Cards remain our property and we may request that you return all Cards to us at any time.
2.5 Virtual Card. A Virtual Card may be used to make purchases over the phone or the internet or in any card transaction where you are not present by entering your Card Details where Visa is accepted as a means of payment. A Virtual Card cannot be used to make a payment in person or in any transaction that requires the use of a Physical Card. Virtual Cards may be issued for one time use (meaning they can only be used for a single transaction) or can be issued so that they can be used repeatedly until the expiry date.
2.6 Physical Card. Physical Cards may be used in the same way as a Virtual Card and may also be used for in store and card present transactions where Visa is accepted electronically. We may decide not to permit use of the Card for manual or offline transactions including in store transactions. If the Card functionality will be so limited we will notify you of this at the time we approve you for a Physical Card.
2.7 Authorizing Card Payments. You can give your authorization for a Payment with your Card in the following manners:
● With a Virtual Card by entering your card details and authorizing the Payment, and if applicable after having gone through reasonable additional security protocols of Airwallex prompted by the online payment portal (such as 3D Secure).
● With a Physical Card you authorize a Payment by using your card, enter your PIN code and authorize the transaction. In certain instances you authorize a Payment by using your card without entering your PIN code, for instance on toll roads or when paying for parking fees.
● If your Physical Card has the payWave logo present, you may be able to make transactions by tapping your Card against the contactless reader at a participating merchant. If you do so, we will treat this as your instruction to make a Payment for the amount displayed on the contactless reader. If your purchase is under EUR 50, you may be able to make a Payment without entering your PIN, subject to our reasonable internal controls. You will always need to enter your PIN if the Card transaction is above EUR 50. You will also need to enter your PIN if you make consecutive transactions of EUR 50 or lower, but which together exceed EUR 150 since the last time you entered your PIN for a Card transaction or if you have made five contactless Card transactions since the last time you entered your PIN.
2.8 Activating your Card. When you receive a Physical Card, you must sign the back of the Card and activate the Card. We will send you instructions on how to activate the Physical Card when we send the Card to you.
2.9 Pre-authorisation. You may pre-authorise a Payment in the event that the final amount of the Payment is unknown at the time you make the pre-authorization. It is only possible to pre-authorize an exact amount. The amount of the pre-authorisation will be reflected in the balance of your Wallet as a reservation (i.e. this amount will be blocked) and will therefore be unavailable for future purchases until the reservation is lifted. As soon as we received information on the exact amount of the actual Payment, we will lift the reservation in respect of the portion of the reserved amount that was not used for the Payment.
2.10 Currency conversion. Your Card may be used to make purchases in certain Supported Currencies and Visa Supported Currencies.
2.11 If your transaction is in a Supported Currency that you can hold in your Wallet, the amount of your transaction shall be deducted from the balance of your Wallet in that Supported Currency. You should ensure that your Wallet has sufficient balance in the relevant Supported Currency for that transaction as we will not perform any automatic FX Conversions in connection with such transaction. If the balance of your Wallet in the relevant Supported Currency is not sufficient, the transaction may be declined (even if your Wallet has balances maintained in other currencies).
2.12 If your transaction is in a Visa Supported Currency, the amount of your transaction will be converted from the balance of your Wallet maintained in the Base Currency using the foreign exchange rates determined by Visa for that transaction. You acknowledge and agree that we have no control over the rates selected by Visa and Visa may charge you a fee as part of this conversion process.
2.13 If you make a Payment or withdrawal in another EU currency than the Base Currency, we will provide you with information on the exchange rate through the Airwallex Platform after you have made a withdrawal at an ATM or made a Payment at a point of sale.
2.14 Refunds. If you receive a refund on a Card Payment in a Supported Currency that you are permitted to hold in your Wallet, we will credit your Wallet in that currency. If you receive a refund in anything other than a Supported Currency that you are permitted to hold in your Wallet, that amount will be converted into your Base Currency before being credited to your account at an exchange rate determined by Visa (which may be different to the exchange rate for the original transaction). Generally, transactions made in one currency must be refunded in that same currency. Refunds of transactions made through your Card shall be credited to the balance of your Wallet and may not be made through other means (for example, through cash).
2.15 Merchant surcharges. In some instances you may also be charged an extra charge by merchants in connection with the use of your Card. The surcharge may be applied once you have confirmed the amount of the transaction. This surcharge may appear as a separate transaction or as part of the entire purchase amount. Once you have confirmed the transaction you will not be able to dispute the surcharge amount.
2.16 Authorisation and Suspension. Transactions on your Card may require our authorisation. Before, we authorise a transaction we may require you to confirm your identity by following certain steps reasonably set out by us. We may in our reasonable discretion deny authorisation and/or suspend the use of your Card, because:
a. the balance of your Wallet is insufficient;
b. the transaction exceeds any transaction limit in connection with your Card from time to time;
c. we suspect that there is fraud or a security issue or we suspect that your Card is being used for an illegal purpose; or
d. you have seriously or repeatedly breached these Issuing Terms or the terms of the Agreement.
We will give you notice of any suspension and the reasons for such suspension as soon as we can. Where possible we will do this before the suspension is put in place, or immediately after, unless it would compromise our reasonable security measures or otherwise be unlawful. We will lift the suspension as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension have ended. We will allow you to use or if necessary replace the Card as soon as practicable after the reasons for stopping its use cease to exist. You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable to you or any other person for any loss suffered as a result of an authorisation not being granted as permitted or required in the Agreement.
2.17 Expiry date. Unless you tell us not to, we may automatically issue a new Card prior to the expiry date of an existing Card, but we are not obliged to do so. You must not use a Card after its expiry date.
2.18 Goods and Services. We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with the Card. We are not liable for any loss arising from any merchant refusing to accept your Card (although this does not exclude or limit our liability under other terms of the Agreement or under Applicable Law, for example if your loss was caused by our breach of the Agreement, negligence or other failure for which we are liable under Applicable Law). Any complaints about any goods or services purchased with a Card must be resolved directly with a merchant.
2.19 Transaction and Card limits. We may from time to time impose transaction limits on your use of the Card which may be on a per day or per transaction basis. Other third party organisations may impose additional restrictions on the amount of your transactions. We may also place limits on the number of Cards you can request from us each month or that you may have active at any one time.
2.20 We are not responsible for any decision by a merchant to accept or reject the use of a Card or for any charges incurred by any user of a Card who does not, in fact, have enough authorisation from you to use the Card.
2.21 Card restrictions. You may request us to place a special restriction on:
a. the maximum amount for a transaction that may be conducted using a Card;
b. the place at which, or merchant with which, a Card may be used.
Such requests can be made through the Airwallex Platform (if applicable). We will inform you if we I can approve the request.
3 how to report a lost or stolen card
3.1 If you believe your Card has been lost or stolen or used without your authorisation you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible:
a. by emailing us at: [email protected];
b. via telephone: +31 850 003 369; or
c. via the Platform Provider (if applicable).
3.2 We may request additional information from you in connection with any misuse of your Card including date of transaction(s), amount(s), details of the merchant and any other details that we reasonably think may assist us in investigating your claim. You agree that you will reasonably cooperate with us (acting reasonably) in investigating any claims in connection with the misuse of your Card.
4 CHARGEBACKS
4.1 We may be entitled under the Agreement or Applicable Law to seek to reverse (chargeback) transactions made through your Card where you have a dispute with the merchant that supplied the goods or services ('Disputed Transaction'). For example, you may be entitled to reverse a transaction where the merchant has not provided you with the goods or services you paid for and you have tried to get a refund from the merchant and were unsuccessful.
4.2 To avoid losing any rights you may have to dispute such a transaction, you should:
a. tell us as soon as reasonably possible after the date of the transaction; and
b. provide us with any information we reasonably ask for to support your request.
4.3 If we are satisfied after investigation that you are entitled to reverse a transaction, the amount initially debited for the transaction will be credited to the Wallet in the original currency of the transaction if that currency is a Supported Currency that you are permitted to hold in your Wallet. If the same currency is not a Supported Currency that you are permitted to hold in your Wallet at the time of the reversal, the amount will be credited in the Base Currency using the then prevailing exchange rates determined by Airwallex acting reasonably. If the currency of the original transaction is a Visa Supported Currency, that amount will be converted by Visa into your Base Currency.
4.4 You should notify us as soon as you reasonably can of a Disputed Transaction. The operating rules of the Payment Networks impose time limits for raising a dispute. Generally, under these rules Airwallex must submit a fully detailed claim on your behalf within 120 days of the transaction taking place. If you do not notify us and provide us with sufficient information, we may be unable to investigate or lodge a claim in time in which case you will not be able to request a reversal anymore. It is your responsibility to review carefully your transaction history. We are not responsible for any loss to you if you do not ask us to reverse a transaction in time.
4.5 To notify us of a Disputed Transaction, please contact us and request a transaction dispute form and send the completed form to Airwallex at Airwallex Card Transaction Disputes by:
a. mailing us: Herengracht 168, 1016 BP Amsterdam, the Netherlands;
b. emailing us: [email protected]; or
c. via the Platform Provider.
4.6 Please assist us by providing as much information as you can. Once we have received your completed form and associated information, we can only investigate the transaction on your behalf when the transaction has settled. The transaction is settled when it has been recorded in the Wallet. Our aim is to acknowledge receipt of your dispute form within 5 Business Days of receipt. However, the investigation of your Disputed Transaction may take longer.
5 cancelling a card
5.1 Cancelling a Card. You can view details of the Cards that have been issued in connection with your Wallet and you may request that any of those Cards be cancelled or temporarily suspended at any time.
5.2 Subject to the terms of the Agreement, you are liable for all transactions made by you through your Card before to its cancellation and for all transactions posted to your Wallet in respect of the period up until the Card is cancelled.

Global Privacy Centre
Welcome to the Airwallex Global Privacy Centre
Airwallex is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who engages with our platform. We also value the importance of transparency with respect to our privacy practices.
We created this Airwallex Privacy Center to help you find answers to frequently asked questions about how we collect and use personal data, the rights that individuals have in relation to personal data held by Airwallex, and how Airwallex complies with international data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the UK and EU.
This content is not legal advice, has been published for your general information purposes only, may not be exhaustive or current and may be amended from time to time without notice to you.
Depending on the context, “you” may mean any of the following:
End User: an end user (individual) who uses our Service, regardless of whether the end user uses our Services for personal use or otherwise. We also collect an End User’s personal information when provided by the Business Customer.
Representative: an individual who is the owner of, or who acts on behalf of a Business Customer (e.g. employee, director or officer of Business Customer who has authority for managing the business customer’s account with us).
Visitor: a visitor (individual) to our sites or who otherwise communicates with us (e.g. if you send us a query on our Support Page) without being logged into an Airwallex account.
Business Customer: a business entity who we provide Services to, whether directly or indirectly, or do business with and such Business Customer will provide us with an End User’s personal information in connection with the Business Customer’s and that End User’s respective activities. When you (as an End User or Representative) interact with a Business Customer, your personal information will be collected, retained, shared and/or stored by the Business Customer in accordance with their own privacy policies and not our Global Privacy Policy.
Global Privacy Policy
You can learn about how we collect, use and share information in our Global Privacy Policy.
What is the GDPR?
The GDPR is the data protection regulation that gives individuals more control over their personal data. The European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) have separate but similar versions of the GDPR.
Under the GDPR, organisations must take great care when processing personal data. Organisations must ensure there is a legal basis for every data processing activity and they must tell people how and why data is used. Individuals also have greater rights under the GDPR, and organisations must be accountable for all processing.
In addition, certain requirements must be satisfied before EU / UK individuals’ personal data may be transferred outside the EU or the UK, unless the organisation receiving the personal data is located in a permitted jurisdiction white listed by the European Commission or UK government. The list of white listed permitted jurisdictions may be found on the European Commission’s website here or the UK government website here.
What is personal data?
Personal data is any information that is related to an identified or identifiable natural person (e.g. you), such as your name, email address, username, ID, bank account number, card details, telephone number, personnel number, number plate, appearance, customer number or address. The definition under the GDPR is broad, and can include information that could be used indirectly and/or with other information to identify a natural person – such as device identifiers or IP address.
What does ‘processing’ mean in this context?
Processing means any operation that is performed on personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Who does the GDPR apply to?
The GDPR applies to any data processor or data controller in the EU or UK that processes personal data, as well as any data processor or data controller outside the EU or UK that processes the personal data of individuals in the EU or UK residents where the processing activities are related to:
offering goods or services to data subjects in the EU or UK (even if those goods or services are provided free of charge); or
monitoring the behaviour of individuals taking place in the EU or the UK.
Our Global Privacy Policy sets out who are the UK and EU Airwallex data controllers.
Is Airwallex acting as a data controller or a data processor?
We act as a data controller in relation to your data.A “data controller” is the entity that determines the purposes and means of the data processing taking place.)
Airwallex as a data controller processes personal data for activities including the following:
providing the Airwallex products and services;
developing new, or enhancing existing, products;
providing customer support;
monitoring, detecting and preventing fraudulent activities on our platform; and
complying with the legal and regulatory obligations that apply to Airwallex.
Our Global Privacy Policy sets out in more detail the various processing purposes.
A “data processor” is an entity that acts on behalf of and at the direction of a data controller in processing personal data. As the data processor is acting on the instructions of the data controller, it does not exercise control or decision making over the processing of personal data. A typical data processor would be a software service provider.
Data controllers and data processors have different responsibilities under the GDPR – for example, controllers are in charge of identifying a lawful purpose or legal basis, and must facilitate individual rights requests.
What ‘lawful purpose’ or ‘legal basis’ does Airwallex rely on to process personal data?
Airwallex relies upon a number of legal grounds to process personal data.
Please refer to section 4 of our Global Privacy Policy for an overview of the types of personal data we collect from you, and the applicable ‘legal basis’ for each under GDPR or other similar laws.
What rights do I have over my data?
You may have certain rights to your personal data. Airwallex as a data controller of your personal data is responsible for managing and responding to your request. You can read more about your rights and how you can exercise your rights in section 7 of our Global Privacy Policy.
Who are Airwallex’s processors and sub-processors and how are they evaluated?
In the course of operating our business and providing our services, it may be necessary for us to provide personal data to our affiliates or certain third parties. Our affiliates or such third parties may process your personal data as an independent data controller or as a data processor, depending on the circumstances and the nature of the data transfer. Table A describes who these third parties are and the purpose of transferring such data to them. We do not sell or share data to third parties for their marketing purposes.
Airwallex also uses data processors to provide services to Airwallex such as technology, professional services and other services which we require to run our business . We make sure we have appropriate safeguards in place to protect any personal data that is processed, including through contractual obligations.
Before a particular data processor is engaged, Airwallex vets and evaluates that data processor through our vendor management program. As required under the GDPR, we enter into a contract with each data processor before sharing data with the data processor. All potential vendors are also vetted and approved through Airwallex’s information security review process before we use their services. This means we investigate their security standards, check their certifications, etc., before we consider sharing any data.

In addition to the above, any affiliate of our global corporate group that does not contract directly with customers may be a data processor or sub-processor of one or more of the Airwallex data controller(s) that are listed for your reference in Section 2 of our Global Privacy Policy.
What is a Data Processing Agreement and do I need to have one with Airwallex?
A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is a contract between a data controller and a data processor, which sets out the roles and responsibilities of the parties when personal data is processed. The GDPR sets out requirements that a DPA must satisfy in order to be compliant, including guarantees around security and that the processor will only act on our instructions. Airwallex will typically enter into a DPA when it transfers data to third parties who act as data processors to Airwallex.
If you are a customer of the Airwallex for Platforms embedded finance product, the DPA is part of the Master Services Agreement (MSA) that you will sign with Airwallex. There is no additional DPA or data agreement that is usually required.
International data transfers
The information presented below is for general information purposes only and is not legal advice. As rules surrounding international data transfers may vary across jurisdictions, please consult with your own legal counsel to familiarise yourselves with the requirements that govern your specific situations.
How does Airwallex deal with international data transfers?
Airwallex uses a set of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) published by the European Commission for cross-border data transfers (for the EU), and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (UK IDTA) issued by the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (for the UK) (in the form of a legal contract), to provide a legal mechanism to transfer EU or UK personal data outside of the EEA/UK/Switzerland, respectively. These are required under European and UK data protection laws and are incorporated into our agreements.
Airwallex continues to adopt appropriate measures to ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data transferred outside the UK, EEA and Switzerland. Our measures include the SCCs and UK IDTA to accommodate international data transfers, as well as a range of technical and organisational measures (described in more detail under the relevant heading below).

Before onboarding Subprocessors, Airwallex conducts an audit of the security and privacy practices of Subprocessors to ensure Subprocessors provide a level of security and privacy appropriate to their access to data and the scope of the services they are engaged to provide. Once Airwallex has assessed the risks presented by the Subprocessor, then subject to the engagement requirements the Subprocessor is required to enter into appropriate security, confidentiality and privacy contract terms.
A.16: Information security incident management

Google Pay Terms
1. These Terms
1.1. The Accountholder agrees with Airwallex (Netherlands) B.V. (Chamber of commerce no. 77519256) ("Airwallex", "we", "our" or "us") to these terms ("Terms") when:
(a) an Accountholder adds an Airwallex Card for use in Google Pay on an Accountholder’s eligible Android Device; or
(b) an Additional Cardholder adds an Airwallex Card linked to the Accountholder’s account for use in Google Pay on the Additional Cardholder’s Android Device.
1.2. These Terms apply to the use of the Airwallex Card on the eligible Android Device by the Cardholder. The Accountholder is responsible for the use of all Airwallex Cards by Additional Cardholders.
1.3. These Terms apply in addition to the Account Terms that apply to the Accountholder. The Accountholder shall procure that Additional Cardholders use Airwallex Cards in accordance with the Accountholder’s obligations under these Terms and the Account Terms. These Terms (together with the Account Terms) govern the use of Airwallex Cards in Google Pay by the Accountholder (and any Additional Cardholders). Unless otherwise defined in these Terms, all capitalised terms have the meanings given in the Account Terms.
5. Adding and removing an Airwallex Card
2.1. An Accountholder can add an Airwallex Card to Google Pay on an eligible Android Device and any Additional Cardholder can add an Airwallex Card to the Additional Cardholder's eligible Android Device, provided that:
(a) we can verify the Accountholder’s identity or the Additional Cardholder's identity (as applicable); and
(b) the Airwallex account of the Accountholder is in good standing, in each case, to the extent required by Airwallex at its discretion.
2.2. The Accountholder can remove an Airwallex Card linked to the Accountholder’s Wallet from Google Pay at any time and an Additional Cardholder can remove their Airwallex Card from Google Pay at any time.
2.3. Airwallex may remove or disable any Airwallex Card provisioned to Google Pay at any time in accordance with Airwallex’s standard policies and procedures or in any other circumstance where Airwallex has determined it has a reasonable basis to do so.
3. Using an Airwallex Card with Google Pay
3.1. Once an Airwallex Card is added to Google Pay, the Cardholder can use Google Pay to make transactions where Google Pay is supported by the merchant. This is done by using the relevant Android Device in place of a Physical Card at a contactless POS (point of sale)
terminal for in-person transactions ("In-person Transaction") or by using the Airwallex Card to pay with Google Pay in an application on an Android Device or other online platforms ("Online Transaction"). Depending on the value of the transaction, Online Transactions may require the Android Device to be unlocked prior to making the transaction, and In-person Transactions may require:
(a) the Cardholder to enter their Airwallex Card PIN;
(b) the Cardholder to have unlocked the phone at a point prior to attempting a transaction; or
(c) the Cardholder to awaken the Android Device (for some Android Devices, carrier-specific software settings may override Google Pay settings so that an Android Device may need to be unlocked in order to make a transaction).
3.2. The Cardholder must have their Airwallex Card selected as their default card within Google Pay in order for Google Pay to use that Airwallex Card in making a transaction. If Google Pay is the default tap and pay application on the Cardholder’s Android Device’s settings, they may only be able to pay using Google Pay despite another tap and pay application being open at the time that the Cardholder taps their Android Device at the contactless payment terminal. Google Pay may not work when the Android Device is not within range of a cellular or wireless internet connection, and if the Android Device has not had a cellular or wireless internet connection for an extended period of time, there may be a delay in time before Google Pay works once reconnected.
3.3. The Cardholder agrees with Google how to approve a payment, for example by using the Passcode.
4. Security and the Cardholder’s liability
4.1. Any person who has access to a Cardholder’s Android Device may be able to make transactions using an Airwallex Card registered in Google Pay.
4.2. If an Airwallex Card is registered for Google Pay on any eligible Android Device, the Cardholder is responsible for ensuring that:
(a) where applicable, only the Cardholder's biometric identifier (including a fingerprint or facial detection) is registered on the Android Device (and no other person's biometric identifier is registered);
(b) the Google Pay wallet is not shared with anyone and is used only by the Cardholder;
(c) the Cardholder keeps the Passcode for the Cardholder's Android Device secure in the same way as a Cardholder would a banking password or PIN secure, including by:
(i) not sharing it with anyone; and
(ii) not acting with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of the Passcode.
-
(d) the Cardholder keeps the Android 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 where applicable);
-
(e) the Cardholder removes any Airwallex Cards from the Cardholder's Android Device before disposing of the Android Device;
-
(f) when using or logged onto Google Play the Cardholder does not leave the Android Device unattended; and
-
(g) the Cardholder takes all other necessary steps to prevent unauthorised use of Google Pay.
-
4.3. If a Cardholder fails to comply with any of the requirements in this Clause 4, and another person authorises a transaction from the Cardholder’s Apple Device, the Cardholder is taken to have authorised that person to transact on the Airwallex Card using Google Pay. This means that any Google Pay transaction initiated by that person in these circumstances will be considered as authorised by the Cardholder and and, as a result, will not constitute an unauthorised transaction under the Account Terms. Note that this could result in significant loss or liability in relation to such transactions.
-
4.4. The Accountholder is required to, and will procure that the Additional Cardholder will, contact us if:
(a) a Cardholder suspects that their Android Device is lost or stolen;
(b) a Cardholder’s Android Device's mobile service is suddenly disconnected without the Cardholder’s permission (which may indicate that the Cardholder has been subject to mobile phone porting); or
(c) a Cardholder suspects that a security breach in relation to their Android Device or
Google Pay, or that an unauthorised person has used the Passcode for an Android Device, Airwallex Card PIN or the Cardholder’s other credentials to access Google Pay.
-
4.5. Based on the Cardholder’s report, we will suspend the use of the Cardholder’s Airwallex Card with Google Pay. This helps to protect the Accountholder and/or Additional Cardholder (as applicable) as much as possible from additional loss or liability.
-
4.6. The Account Terms which deal with unauthorised transactions apply to the use of an Airwallex Card with Google Pay.
-
4.7. If a Cardholder no longer wishes to use an Airwallex Card with Google Pay, the Cardholder should remove the Airwallex Card from Google Pay prior to deleting/uninstalling the Google Pay application on their Android Device. Other ways that a Cardholder can ensure that their Airwallex Card cannot be used with Google Pay on their Android Device include:
(a) removing the Google account to which the Airwallex Card was added in Google Pay; (b) undertaking a factory reset of the relevant Android Device; or
(c) erasing the Android Device on Android Device Manager.
4.8. Airwallex Cards may also be removed from Google Pay where an Android Device has not connected to Google’s servers for at least 90 days.
5. Fees and charges
There are no additional fees charges for the use of Apple Pay. Cardholders are responsible for all third party charges associated with the use of Google Pay (such as certain transactions in a currency not directly supported by Airwallex or carriage or mobile data charges).
6. Block, suspension and cancellation of Airwallex Cards in Google Pay
6.1. Airwallex may block, suspend or cancel an Airwallex Card in Google Pay:
(a) if Airwallex reasonably suspects fraud;

12.1. If any provision of these terms is determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal by any court of competent jurisdiction, it will be deemed to have been deleted without affecting the remaining provisions.

For the avoidance of doubt, an Additional Cardholder is not a party to the Account Terms and does not become a party to the Account Terms merely by agreeing to these Terms.
