17. Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors
A. Contact Information
If you think your Transaction history is wrong with respect to a Card Transaction, or if you need more information about a Card Transaction listed on the transaction history in your Larstal Account, you can contact the Support Team at support@larstal.com. For errors or potential errors in your Larstal Account that are not related to the Card, please consult the Larstal Account Terms of Use.
B. Card Errors
“Card Errors” include, but are not limited to, the following:
i. A Card Transaction that you did not authorize.
ii. A duplicate transaction that you did not authorize.
iii. A recurring Card Transaction that you had canceled prior to the occurrence of the Card Transaction.
iv. An incorrect Card Transaction.
In relation to a Card Error 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 Card Error that was unauthorized or incorrectly executed if you have failed to contact us without undue delay – in these circumstances you may be held liable. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after the earlier of the date you accessed your Larstal Account regarding a Card Error or if the Card Error could be viewed in your Card Transaction history.
In your complaint, you must include:
1. Your name, address and Card number;
2. Why you believe there is an error, and the amount involved;
3. Approximately when the error took place; and
4. Any other necessary information that can prove the existence of the Card Error.
Subject to you notifying us without undue delay, We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days of hearing from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that no Card Error occurred, or you have acted fraudulently or have with intent or gross negligence failed to keep your Larstal Account security details safe, we shall not credit any amount to your Larstal Account and/or may deduct the amount of the Card Transaction from your Card or Larstal Account, if applicable. If you do not have sufficient balance for the deduction, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand. On the contrary, if we decide that a Card Error occurred, we will credit you the correspondent amount in your Larstal Account.
For the avoidance of doubt, Card Errors do not include buyer’s remorse, issues with the quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any goods or services you purchase with your Card or if you do not receive those goods or services, or routine inquiries about the balance in your Larstal Account or a request for documentation or other information for your record keeping or tax purposes.
C. Your Liability for Unauthorized Card Transactions
An unauthorized Card Transaction occurs when your Card is used, and it was not authorized by you and did not benefit you. For example, if someone accesses your virtual Card fraudulently or without your consent and uses your Card to access funds in your Larstal Account, an unauthorized Card Transaction has occurred. A Card Transaction used by someone to whom you gave access to your Card who then uses your Card without your knowledge or permission is not considered unauthorized. You are responsible for transactions made in such a situation.
You agree to exercise reasonable control over your Card and Access Information. If you believe your Card or Access Information has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that transactions have been made in your Larstal Account without your permission using your Card, you should inform Larstal right away.
18. Miscellaneous
18.1. We may at any time transfer all or any of our rights and obligations under these Terms to any third party (including by way of merger, consolidation or the acquisition of all or substantially all of our business and assets relating to these Terms), but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.
18.2. You may not assign or transfer your Card and your obligations under these Terms. We do not waive our rights by delaying or failing to exercise them, in whole or in part, at any time.

18.3. Nothing in these Terms is intended to, or shall be construed so as to, establish or imply any partnership or joint venture or a relationship of principal and agent between you and us or constitute either of you or us as the agent of the other party, or authorize you or us to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other party.
18.4. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
18.5. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
18.6. These Terms are provided to you in the English language. Where we have provided a translation of these Terms to you, you agree that such translation is provided for your convenience only and that the English language version of these Terms will govern your relationship with us.
