This fee would only apply to transactions that are revoked following the introduction of such fee;
- If we are late in executing a payment that You instruct Us to make You may ask Us to contact the recipient’s bank and ask them to credit it as if it had been received on the correct day. You agree not to make or attempt to make transactions that exceed the Available Balance. You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient funds when you authorise a Transaction;
- If you make or attempt to make any transactions that exceed the Available Balance then you will be liable for any Negative Balance along with any costs or interest incurred by us or anyone acting on our behalf in recovering or attempting to recover from you the amount owing. We may suspend your Card and Card Account until the Negative Balance is corrected by you. We reserve the right to deduct an amount equivalent to the Negative Balance from any funds which you subsequently pay into your Card Account;
- If a Negative Balance arises, that does not mean that a Negative Balance will be allowed to arise or be increased on subsequent occasions. This is the case regardless of whether you have been charged a fee relating to the Negative Balance occurring;
- You may get instant access to your Available Balance at ATMs worldwide (where the Mastercard logo is displayed) by using your Card and PIN or by logging into the Website or App, or by calling Customer Services;

- If you permit someone else to use the Card, you will be responsible for any transactions initiated by that person with the Card;
- When using the Card with some Merchants (e.g. rental cars & hotels) or for mail order purchases, Card “tolerance limits” may apply. This means the Merchant may estimate the sum of money you may spend or for which you require authorisation. The estimate may be for greater than the total bill (or anticipated bill), for example
- At restaurants you may be required to have more on your Card than the value of the bill to allow for any service charge added by the restaurant;
The merchant will be required to tell you the estimated amount that will be blocked in Your Card Account and seek Your consent.
This means that some of the Available Balance on your Card may be held for up to 30 days until the Merchant has settled the actual Transaction amount and therefore you will not be able to spend this estimated sum during this period. We cannot release this sum without authorisation from the Merchant. - You may not make pre-authorised regular payments through the use of the Card;
- There are spending and other limitations on the use of your Card, please see section 7.7 below;
- Third Party Providers

We will treat any instruction from a Third Party Provider as if it were from you.
b. We may refuse to allow a Third Party Provider to access your Card Account if we are concerned about unauthorised or fraudulent access by that Third Party Provider. Before we do this we will tell you and explain our reasons for doing so, unless it is not reasonably practicable, in which case we will use our reasonable endeavours to tell you as soon as possible afterwards. In either case, we will tell you in the way in which we consider most appropriate in the circumstances. We won’t tell you our reasons where doing so will undermine our reasonable security measures or otherwise be unlawful. We may make available to a Third Party Provider a specific means of accessing your Card Account. If we do, and it tries to access your Card Account by a different way, we may refuse to allow that access.
c. If you think a payment may have been made incorrectly or is unauthorised, you must tell us as soon as possible even where you use a Third Party Provider.

7.8. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS
If the Available Balance on your Card is in Euro, Transactions made in a currency other than Euro will be subject to the prevailing Mastercard exchange rate applicable at the time plus a 2.99% foreign exchange fee. We will use Mastercard authorised rates applicable for such a transaction, see www.mastercard.com/global/currencyconversion. The Mastercard exchange rate is set by Mastercard and any changes made by Mastercard will be effective immediately. Example of Foreign Exchange Fee:
- You make a purchase from a Merchant located in the UK;
- At the time, Mastercard’s prevailing exchange rate is £1.00 = €1.091;
- You spend £200.00 ;
- The Euro amount is £200.00 x €1.091 = €218.2;
- The foreign exchange fee is therefore 2.99% x €218.2 = €6.52.
If the Available Balance on your Card is in GBP, Transactions made in a currency other than GBP will be subject to the prevailing Mastercard exchange rate applicable at the time plus a 2.99% foreign exchange fee. We will use Mastercard authorised rates applicable for such a transaction, see www.mastercard.com/global/currencyconversion. The Mastercard exchange rate is set by Mastercard and any changes made by Mastercard will be effective immediately. Example of Foreign Exchange Fee:
- You make a purchase from a Merchant located in the EU;
- At the time, Mastercard’s prevailing exchange rate is €1.00 = £0.909;
- You spend €200.00 ;
- The GBP amount is €200.00 x £0.909 = £181.8;
- The foreign exchange fee is therefore 2.99% x £181.8 = £5.43.
For a full listing of fees and charges please refer to section 7.6 Fees and Charges above.
7.9. PIN
- Your PIN can be viewed at any time online on the Cardholder Portal.
- Should an incorrect PIN be entered three times when a transaction is attempted (at POS or ATM) using the Card, the Card will blocked and you will need to visit an ATM with PIN change functionality and change your PIN before you can use it again.

- Interfere with any magnetic stripe or integrated circuit on the Card;
- Unnecessarily disclose the Card number;
- Write the PIN on the Card;
- Carry the PIN with the Card;
- Record the PIN on anything carried with the Card or liable to loss or theft simultaneously with a device, unless you make a reasonable attempt to protect the security of the PIN; or
- Voluntarily disclose the PIN to anyone, including a family member or friend.
You must comply with any other security procedures that we tell you about from time to time.
You must also keep your Card Account ID Information confidential and secure. This includes ensuring the ongoing security of your Card Account ID Information and your personal computer device for accessing the Internet.
If you know or suspect that your Card is lost or stolen or your PIN is known by someone else you must tell us without undue delay by contacting Customer Services and change your PIN as soon as possible. You can change it at ATMs that offer this service by selecting the PIN Services option. Any undue delay in notifying Us may not only affect the security of Your Card Account but may result in You being liable for any losses as a result where Your failure to notify Us is intentional or negligent. If You suspect that Your Card was used or Your Card Account was accessed by someone else, You should also contact the police and report the incident.
If we think your Card or Card Account is at risk of fraud or a security threat, we will use the fastest and most secure way practicable of contacting you using the details you have provided to tell you what you need to do to help deal with that risk.
7.11. CONTACTLESS TRANSACTIONS

You can use your Card with Mastercard Contactless technology across various Merchants accepting Contactless Mastercard transactions. If your Card has Contactless Transaction functionality which you use frequently then you may periodically be asked to authorise a transaction via an alternative method (such as using your PIN) for security reasons.
7.12. LOSS, THEFT AND MISUSE OF CARDS
You should treat the Available Balance on your Card like cash in a wallet. If your Card is lost or stolen or used without authorisation then you may lose some or all of the Available Balance in the same way as if you lost cash. If you know or have reason to suspect that the Card is lost or stolen or damaged, likely to be misused or you have reason to suspect that someone else may know the PIN or Identifiers, you must immediately notify Customer Services.The Card will then be suspended to restrict further use.
If any lost Card is subsequently found it must not be used and you must destroy it and inform Customer Services immediately.
Subject to the paragraph below, in the event your Card is lost or stolen, and you have kept the personalised features of your card safe from misappropriation then you may be liable for the first GBP 35 (or the first Euro 50 in the case of Ireland resident Cardholders) with respect to Transactions from the use of your lost, stolen or misappropriated Card. If you have acted fraudulently or with intent or gross negligence or in breach of these Terms, you may be liable for the full amount of loss(es) incurred. No refund will be made until any investigation we need to undertake is complete. We reserve the right not to refund you if we believe you have not complied with these Terms. You may be required to help us or our agents or any law enforcement agency on request if your card is lost, stolen or we suspect it is being misused.
You will not be liable for any losses incurred in respect of an unauthorised Transaction if you have exercised reasonable care in safeguarding your Card and Pass Code and any other log-in details from risk of loss or theft and, upon becoming aware of an unauthorised Transaction or the loss or theft of your Card or PIN or other log-in details, you notified us promptly. Once you have notified us of the loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorised use of your Card or Pass Code or other log-in details and, provided you have not acted fraudulently or with gross negligence, we will refund the amount of any Transaction that occurs which our investigations show were not authorised by you.
7.13. LIABILITY
EML Money DAC, Paddy Power and EML are referred to collectively as “we”, “us” and “our” in this section 7.12 and each can enforce this section jointly and severally.
In the case of an unauthorised payment or a payment that was incorrectly executed due to an error by us, we shall, as soon as is practicable, and in any event no later than the end of the business day following the day on which we become aware of the unauthorised transaction, refund the payment amount including all fees deducted therefrom except in circumstances where we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraudulent behaviour on the part of the Cardholder. This shall not apply:
- where the unauthorised payment arises from your failure to keep the personalised security features of your Card or Card Account safe in accordance with section 7.11 of these Terms and Conditions, in which case you shall remain liable for the first first GBP 35 (or the first Euro 50 in the case of Ireland resident Cardholders) unless section 7.12(c) applies
- if you fail to notify us without undue delay of any loss of your PIN or Card Account ID Information or other event that could reasonably be expected to have compromised the security of your Card or Card Account after you have gained knowledge of such event in which case you shall remain liable for losses incurred until you notify us;
- if the transaction was unauthorised but you have acted fraudulently or compromised the security of your Card or Card Account with intent or gross negligence, in which case you shall be solely liable for all losses; or
- if you fail to dispute and bring the unauthorised or incorrectly executed transaction to our attention within 13 months from the date of the transaction.
In all other circumstances our liability will be limited to repayment of the amount of the funds in Your Card Account.
Unless you have acted fraudulently, section 7.12(a) shall not apply to transactions made after you have notified us in accordance with this Agreement where we have failed to provide you with appropriate means for notification or we are required to use strong customer authentication but fail to do so, in which case we shall remain liable and refund any unauthorised transaction to you as soon as practicable.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, you are asked to check the transactions history of your Card Account regularly and frequently and to contact Customer Service immediately in case you have any questions or concerns.
In the case of any incorrect or misdirected payment, we shall take reasonable measures to assist you with tracing and recovering such payments.
Subject to the foregoing, we shall not be liable for any disruption or impairment of our service or for disruptions or impairments of intermediary services on which we rely for the performance of our obligations hereunder, provided that such disruption or impairment is due to abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our reasonable control or the control of the intermediary affected.

This means you may be unable to load your Card, make Transactions or obtain information about your Available Balance or recent Transactions.
All conditions, warranties or other terms implied by law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, save that nothing will limit our liability to you for death or personal injury arising out of our negligence or for our fraud, or insofar as any limitation or exclusion of liability is prohibited by law.
Although EML Money DAC’s activities are regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, neither your Card or your Card Account are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. However, the funds in your Card Account are safeguarded by EML Money DAC, which means that they are kept separate from EML Money DAC’s assets so in the unlikely event that EML Money DAC becomes insolvent your funds remain safe from EML Money DAC’s creditors.

You agree to defend, reimburse or compensate us and hold us and our other companies in our corporate group harmless from any claim, demand, expenses or costs (including legal fees, fines or penalties) that we incur or suffer due to or arising out of your or your agents' breach of these Terms and Conditions, breach of any applicable law or regulation and/or use of the services.

You have a right to cancel your Card and these Terms without reason and at no cost within the 14 day period following when you receive your Card (“Cancellation Period”) or in the event you disagree with a change we intend to make to these Terms by contacting Customer Services and also confirming your wish to cancel in writing. You will not be charged a cancellation fee and will not receive a refund of any Transactions authorised or pending or any fees incurred in connection with the Card before it is cancelled.
These Terms will automatically terminate on the Termination Date, however you may ask for the Card to be cancelled or terminate these Terms at any time (which will result in the Card being cancelled) before the Termination Date by contacting Customer Services. Subject to your right to cancel set out in the first paragraph of this clause 7.17, we reserve the right to introduce a cancellation fee for any Card so terminated before the Termination Date. This fee would only apply to cards that are cancelled following the introduction of such fee. Following your cancellation request, if we ask you to, you must surrender or destroy the cancelled Card and you must not use the cancelled Card. You will be responsible for any Transactions made or charges incurred before you cancelled your Card and if any sums are incurred on your Card following cancellation or termination you will pay such amounts to us immediately on demand.
We may terminate these Terms at any time prior to the Termination Date on provision of two months’ notice to you or terminate or suspend them (and the use of your Card) immediately if (i) you have not complied with these Terms; or (ii) we have reason to believe you have used or intend to use the Card negligently or for fraudulent or unlawful purposes; (iii) we need to do so in order to comply with applicable law or regulation or MasterCard rules or (iv) we are required to do so by any applicable regulatory body , or (v) if you fail to pay any fees or charges or correct a Negative Balance.
These Terms will terminate immediately in the event of your death.
If these Terms are terminated or your Card is cancelled then you must destroy it by cutting diagonally through the chip and magnetic strip.
On the cancellation of the Card or termination of these Terms, we will block your Card straight away so it cannot be used and wait until we are satisfied that all Transactions have been processed and there are no outstanding authorisations or other restrictions on the Card before we refund the Available Balance (less any applicable Fees) to you. This is to ensure all pending Transactions have been settled. We may ask for evidence of your identity or confirmation the card has been destroyed before we make such refund.
Subject to any amounts owing to EML Money DAC or EML, we will pay the Available Balance back to your bank account and we may require evidence that the bank account belongs to you before we are able to transfer the Available Balance to it.
7.19. FUNDS REDEMPTION
Whether or not you have a current Card to transact against your Available Balance, you may instruct us to pay the Available Balance by sending it to your bank account (Funds Redemption Request) by contacting Customer Services. We do not have to process a Funds Redemption Request until we are satisfied of your identity and may require you to provide us with suitable identification documents for this purpose.
Upon receiving a Funds Redemption Request, we will pay the Available Balance to you when:
- we are satisfied that there are no un-cancelled or unexpired authorisations or approvals on the Card; and
- we are satisfied that there are no further amounts that we will be debiting, or that we anticipate debiting, against the Available Balance;
- we are satisfied of your identity; and
- if we require it, we have received any surrendered or cancelled Cards from you.
We will pay the Available Balance to your bank account.
