You take full responsibility for ensuring that you are on-boarded with the relevant Merchant Operator prior to attempting to make a Transaction with that Merchant Operator using your Wallet.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed pursuant to a separate Service, we will not extend you credit.
- To initiate a Loading Transaction, you must log into your Account through the Web & App by using your Wallet details and follow the relevant instructions. The payment method for loading E-Money to your Wallet will depend on the country in which you reside.
- For a list of the permitted methods for Loading Transactions in your country of residence, please visit our Web & App. Please note that we may change this list at our sole discretion from time to time. The execution of your payments by third-party payment providers in order to load your Wallet with E-Money is not part of our Services. We do not guarantee your ability to use any particular third-party payment provider to complete a Loading Transaction and we may discontinue accepting payments processed by any such third-party payment provider at any time in our sole discretion.
- We reserve the right to suspend or cancel your Wallet in the event of any chargeback or fraud that occurs during any Loading Transaction or any other Transaction. In the event that any chargeback or fraud results in a negative balance on your Wallet, you are required to perform an additional Loading Transaction to load your Wallet with sufficient funds immediately. We reserve the right to send you reminders or to take other debt collection measures, and we may charge a Fee in connection with any debt collection or enforcement measures.
- If you believe that you did not Authorise a particular Transaction, or that a Transaction was incorrectly executed you should contact us at support@astropay.com.
- In relation to an unauthorised or incorrectly executed Transaction or deduction you must contact us without undue delay (i.e., as soon as you become aware of the problem). We will not be held liable for any Transaction that was unauthorised or incorrectly executed if you have failed to contact and notify us without undue delay (in these circumstances you may be held liable). You should also confirm the disputed Transaction by contacting us through our communication channels or writing us via email at support@astropay.com setting out full details of the Transaction and your reason for disputing it.
- You must provide us with all receipts and information that are relevant to your claim.
- Subject to you notifying us without undue delay, we shall refund you the amount of any Transaction not Authorised by you immediately.
- If we subsequently establish that the Transaction was Authorised by you, or you have acted fraudulently or have with intent or gross negligence failed to keep your Account security details safe, we may deduct the amount of the Transaction from your Available Balance. If you do not have sufficient Available Balance for the deduction, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand.
- If you have acted fraudulently or have with intent or gross negligence failed to keep your Account security details safe, you will also be liable for all losses we suffer in connection with the unauthorised Transaction, including but not limited to the cost of any investigation we carry out in relation to the Transaction.
- Except where you have acted fraudulently (in which case you will be liable in full), you will not be liable for any losses if: you have notified us about the unauthorised Transaction in accordance with Clause 6.6. above, or we failed to provide an appropriate means of notification, or where the unauthorised Transaction was not carried out face to face.
- Unless already covered in Clause 6.10 and 6.11 above, you will be liable for losses up to a maximum of the equivalent of £35 in the case of unauthorised Transactions resulting from the loss or theft of your Account security details, or, where you have failed to keep your Account security details safe, their misappropriation.
- Our processing of all Loading Transactions will be subject to our usual fraud, money laundering, and other operational and customer service checks. Accordingly, there may be delays in the time required for E-Money to appear in your Wallet once you have performed a Loading Transaction. Unless we expressly state otherwise, we shall not act as a merchant in relation to any Transaction.
- You must not load your Wallet through a debit card or other payment instrument or a payment account if you are not the named holder of that payment instrument or account. Any attempt to use a payment instrument or account of which you are not the named holder will be considered a fraudulent act. Without prejudice to claiming further Losses, if we are required to return funds loaded from a payment instrument or account that is not in your name, we may charge a Fee.
- You accept and agree that a Loading Transaction made in a currency other than USD will be converted into USD by the Web & App at the rate of exchange displayed on the Web & App at the time of that Loading Transaction (please see our website for details of the source of the exchange rates used by the Web & App from time to time). You accept that such conversion shall be entirely at your own cost and risk, including the result of any fluctuation or difference between the rate of exchange displayed on the Web & App at the time of the Loading Transaction and at the time of the redemption request.
- If you perform a Loading Transaction by debit card, your payment information will be stored securely in accordance with Applicable Laws. All credit/debit card information is protected according to PCI_DSS regulations, where all cardholder data and/or sensitive authentication data is processed by a certified PCI DSS service provider Level 1. We do not store, transmit nor process cardholder data and/or sensitive authentication data, restricting interactions to only tokenized information.
- Your Wallet is not a deposit account, which means that your funds will not be protected by the Isle of Man Depositors’ Compensation Scheme Isle of Man Financial Services Authority Rule Book 2016. However, we will hold funds received in a designated safekeeping account with a regulated financial institution in accordance with Isle of Man Financial Services Authority Rule Book 2016 (as amended 2019) (C.S. 3.37), and those funds will not be used by us other than on your instructions in connection with your Wallet. Your Wallet does not grant or accrue any interest or bonuses related to the duration of time that you hold E-Money with us.

- In order to open your Account and use the Wallet, we shall charge you the fees as set out in our Web & App from time to time. As that fees may be amended from time to time in accordance with this Clause (the “Fees”), you agree that any Fees and other amounts due and payable to us under these Terms may be deducted from your Wallet without further notice. We further reserve the right to change our Fees upon two (2) months’ notice given to you through the Web & App or by email prior to such changes going into effect.
