Acceptance: This Agreement constitutes a binding agreement between you and us with respect to the terms of use of the Card.
The Card: The Card is a prepaid Mastercard card that can be used anywhere that Mastercard is accepted, including mail order, online, telephone, and POS retail merchants, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Activating the Card: The Card cannot be used for any purpose until it has been activated and signed by you on the back, where indicated. Whether or not the Card has an activation sticker adhered to the Card face, you must sign the back of the Card.
Supplementary Cardholders: An Authorized User may request the issuance of a Card in connection with the Vault Account to a Supplementary Cardholder. The Cardholder is solely responsible for the use of each Card issued in connection with the Cardholder’s Vault Account according to this Agreement. All rights, obligations, and liabilities of Supplementary Cardholders are the Cardholder’s responsibility, including but not limited to responsibility for any negative balance howsoever arising. We may process transactions and accept instructions initiated by a Supplementary Cardholder, acting alone, in any fashion permitted under this Agreement. The Cardholder will be bound by the instruction and transactions as if given or approved by the Supplementary Cardholder(s). YOU, THE CARDHOLDER, AGREE THAT YOU SHALL NOT CLAIM AGAINST US FOR ANY LOSS ARISING OUT OF THE OPERATION OF A SUPPLEMENTARY CARDHOLDER(S) CARD AND THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT OF A SUPPLEMENTARY CARDHOLDER. The Cardholder knowingly accepts the risk that Supplementary Cardholder(s) transactions or otherwise may be your liability, including any fees for transactions where there are insufficient funds. The Cardholder’s sole responsibility is to ensure sufficient funds are loaded on the Supplementary Cardholder(s) Card to cover their transactions.
Ownership and Use of the Card: The Card can be used to pay the full amount of the purchase and applicable taxes, so long as the Balance remaining on the Card is sufficient. The Card is, and will remain, our property; resale of the card is not permitted. The Card is not a credit card, charge card, or debit card, and its usage will not enhance nor improve your credit rating. No interest dividends or other earnings or returns will be paid on the Card. Neither the Card nor the Balance is a deposit account. You have no right to write cheques on, or demand repayment of, the outstanding Balance on the Card, but are strictly limited to the right to use the Card, in accordance with this Agreement, as payment for goods and services from merchants who accept Mastercard.
When you use the Card to make a purchase, the amount of the purchase, plus any applicable fees and taxes, will be deducted from the available Balance associated with the Card. If you use the Card for card-not-present transactions (such as online, mail, or telephone purchases), the legal effect is the same as if you used the physical Card. The Card can be used without a PIN to make purchases online. You should retain the receipt as a record of the transaction. It is your responsibility to obtain such record and ensure that it is accurate. We are not responsible for providing you with any transaction record or periodic statement.
Some merchants (including, but not limited to, restaurants, hotels, or car rental companies) may pre-authorize the Transaction Amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% (or more) above the purchase amount to ensure that there are sufficient funds available on the Card to cover any tips or incidental expenses. In such cases, your transaction will be declined if the Balance will not cover the Transaction Amount plus the additional pre-authorization percentage.
A pre-authorization will place a hold on an amount of your available Card funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the pre-authorization amount on hold in excess of that final payment amount will be released. It may take up to ten (10) days for the pre-authorization hold to be removed, and timing may vary depending on the type of merchant. During the hold period, you will not have access to the pre-authorized amount.
Transferring funds to your Vault Multi-Currency Account and accessing Balance: You may transfer funds to your Vault Multi-Currency Account through the methods listed on the Website. Transfer services are provided by Vault and its service providers, and not by us. You agree that Vault, or its services providers, act as your authorized agents, and not ours. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS MADE OR LOSS CAUSED BY VAULT OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS IN PROVIDING US WITH TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING IF VAULT OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE NOT ACTING ON OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROPER OR GENUINE INSTRUCTIONS FROM YOU. In such cases, you agree that you will not make or advance any claim against us, and that your sole claims, if any, shall be against Vault or its service providers who provided us with instructions, and subject to the terms of any agreements you may have with those parties. Subject to applicable fees, funds transferred to your Vault Multi-Currency Account will be available immediately after the transfer is confirmed by Vault. The time before funds become available may vary depending on the transfer method you use.
Information About Balance: There is no balance on your Card. Your balance is held in your Vault Multi-currency Account. To obtain Balance information on your Vault Multi-Currency Account or the transaction history, log into your Vault Account through the Website. It is your responsibility to ensure that there is a sufficient Balance to cover transactions plus any pre-authorized amounts.
If you attempt to use the Card when there is insufficient Balance available to cover the full Transaction Amount, the transaction in most instances will be declined. However, if due to a systems malfunction or for any reason whatsoever, a transaction occurs despite insufficient Balance on the Card, creating a negative amount, you agree to reimburse us, upon request, for the amount of the Transaction Amount in excess of the Balance.
Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies: We will first attempt to charge you in the same currency as the transaction currency if you hold a sufficient balance in your Vault Multi-currency account. In the event that you do not have sufficient balance in the transaction currency we will convert transactions made in a foreign currency to Canadian dollars using the Mastercard Conversion Rate in effect on the day the transaction is posted to your Card. The Mastercard Conversion Rate in effect on the posting date may differ from the rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
However, if a foreign currency transaction is refunded to your Card, the Mastercard Conversion Rate used to convert your refund to Canadian dollars for the Card is the rate that we pay to Mastercard minus the Foreign Exchange Charge. Additionally, the rate that we pay to Mastercard may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was refunded. For these reasons, the amount that is credited to your Card for a refund of a foreign currency transaction will, in most cases, be less than the amount that was originally charged to the Card for that transaction.
Protection Against Loss, Theft, or Unauthorized Use: If the Card is lost or stolen, you will be asked to provide us with the name on the Card and the Card number, and to answer an identifying question drawn from your personal information. If you lose the Card, someone might be able to use the Balance on the Card.
We will refund any remaining Balance (less the Card replacement fee) after we have processed all transactions completed before we had an opportunity to act on your information. We recommend that you write down the customer service number +1 (888) 568-2858 in case the Card is lost or stolen.
You agree, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to cooperate with us in our attempts to recover from unauthorized users and to assist in their prosecution.
Your Vault Prepaid Mastercard® is eligible for Mastercard Zero Liability Policy. The Mastercard Zero Liability Policy applies to purchases made in-store, via telephone, online, or from a mobile device. As a cardholder, you will not be held responsible for unauthorized transactions if:
(i) you have exercised reasonable care in protecting the Card and PIN from loss or theft, and
(ii) you promptly reported the loss or theft of the Card or PIN to Peoples Trust.
If these conditions are not met you will be liable for all unauthorized transactions completed before you reported the loss of theft of the Card or PIN to Peoples Trust. Verification of a Zero Liability claim can take up to one hundred and twenty (120) days once all required forms and/or documents have been received and confirmed by Peoples Trust, and a police investigation may also be necessary.
Notification and Change of Terms: Subject to the limitations of Applicable Law, we may from time to time amend any term or condition of this Agreement or add new terms or conditions to this Agreement, including increasing or adding new fees.
As required by Applicable Law, notice of any Amendments will be sent to you at the most recent mailing or email address that we have on record for you.

We may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause. Upon Agreement cancellation, your Card will also be cancelled and you should destroy it immediately. Once the card is cancelled, a cheque for any remaining Balance, less any outstanding fees and preauthorized amounts, (and, in the case you cancelled the Agreement, less the Card cancellation fee) will be mailed to you within forty-five (45) business days from the cancellation date. Despite any termination of this Agreement, you must fulfil all of your obligations under this Agreement.
Alternatively, you may surrender the Card to the Program Sponsor and the Program Sponsor will reimburse you in cash any remaining Balance on your Card less any outstanding fees.

Following your notification, a form must be completed and sent to our customer service team within ninety (90) days of the transaction date via email at info@tryvault.com. Please note that this form must be received within ninety (90) days of the date of the disputed transaction or you will have been deemed to have accepted such transaction.
If there is any dispute in regard to the purchase of goods or services you made using the Card, and you agree to settle such disputes with the merchant from whom any such goods or services were purchased, please ask the merchant for any return policy that may apply to purchases made with the Card. We are not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any goods or services you purchase with your Card.
Arbitration (not applicable to residents of Quebec): To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, you agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement: (i) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator at Vancouver, British Columbia; and (ii) shall not be brought through class or individual litigation proceedings. If such a claim is advanced by class proceeding by any other person on your behalf, you will opt out of, or not opt into, such proceedings as circumstances dictate.

Personal Information Consent: By applying, accepting, and/or being granted a Card, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your personal information by us and our service providers for purposes relating to your application for a Card and your use of a Card, and as otherwise described below. The collection of such information is necessary for the entering into and performance of this Agreement. Therefore, if you do not consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your personal information, you may not apply for or use a Card. As explained below, you may withdraw your consent at any time by cancelling your Card and all related services from us.
Collecting your Personal Information: We and our service providers will collect information about you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number, and date of birth) when you apply for a Card and, if a Card is issued to you, we and our service providers will collect information about you and your use of the Card and related services, including information about your Card transactions (e.g. the date, amount, and place of each transaction) (all collectively “Cardholder Information”). We and our service providers will collect your Cardholder Information directly from you and from other sources, including third party providers of identity verification, demographic, and fraud/money laundering prevention services.
Safeguarding Your Personal Information: We protect personal information in our possession or control from loss, theft, alteration, and misuse. The safeguards employed by us to protect your personal information depend on the sensitivity, amount, distribution, format, and storage of the personal information. Although technologies can make it easier for fraud to occur, we employ around-the-clock monitoring systems and controls to detect and prevent fraudulent activity. We also build fraud prevention measures into our due diligence processes and regularly update our fraud detection/prevention methods. While we take precautions to protect your personal information from loss, theft, alteration, or misuse, no system or security measure is completely secure.

We will disclose your Cardholder Information to our service providers to assist us to provide services to you and to provide related services to us.
We and our service providers may use and store your Cardholder Information at facilities in various countries (including Canada and the United States of America). The personal information protection laws of those countries might be different from the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are located, and might permit courts, government, law enforcement and regulatory agencies and security authorities to access your Cardholder Information without notice. The laws on data protection in other jurisdictions, to which we may transfer your information, may differ from those in your jurisdiction and any personal information transferred to another jurisdiction will be subject to law enforcement and national security authorities in that jurisdiction. Subject to these laws, we will use reasonable measures to maintain protections of your personal information that are equivalent to those that apply in your jurisdiction. You hereby give your consent to such cross-border transfers (including to the United States) of such personal information to third parties for the purpose set out above.
We will use and rely on your Cardholder Information to issue and administer your Card and provide related services. We and our service providers will rely on you to ensure that your Cardholder Information is accurate, complete, and up to date. You will promptly inform us (by emailing info@tryvault.com or using in-app chat through our Website) of any changes to your Cardholder Information or if you discover any errors in your Cardholder Information. You may communicate with us through our customer service number, or the Website, with regard to requests to access information related to you that we have obtained. If such information is obtained from providers of identity verification data and demographic information, we will inform you of your right of access and rectification in relation to the file held by the personal information agent and will indicate to you the manner in which and the place where you may have access to the reports or recommendations and cause them to be rectified, where necessary.
We and our service providers may use your Cardholder Information (including your telephone and mobile phone numbers and your email addresses) to contact you, including by regular and electronic mail, telephone call (including by pre-recorded or artificial voice messages and automatic telephone dialing systems) and instant messaging, regarding your Card and related matters, regardless of whether you incur any long distance or usage charges as a result.
We and our service providers may monitor and record their communications and correspondence with you (including emails, online chats, and telephone calls) for quality assurance, staff training and legal compliance purposes. With your consent, Peoples Trust and its service providers may share this information for audit related purposes to ensure you are receiving the best possible customer service.
Other Uses of Your Personal Information: In addition to the foregoing, if you consent to a Program Sponsor or other third party collecting and using your personal information (including Cardholder Information) for their own purposes (not as our service provider), including to send marketing and promotional messages to you, then we will not have any control over, and will not be responsible or liable for, the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information by the Program Sponsor or third party, the marketing or promotional messages that they send to you, or any other wrongful act or omission by the Program Sponsor or third party.
The restrictions and requirements described herein do not apply to information that is aggregated or otherwise de-personalized or anonymized and does not identify you.
Your Right to Access Your Personal Information: You may obtain access to the Cardholder Information we hold about you at any time to review its content and accuracy, and have it amended as appropriate; however, access may be restricted as permitted or required by law. To request access to such information, to ask questions about our privacy policies, or to withdraw your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Cardholder Information and to cancel your Card and all related services from us, contact customer service at +1 (888) 568-2858.

If we do make such an assignment, then this Agreement will remain binding on you and your heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors, and permitted assigns.
Third Party Claims: In the event we reimburse you for a refund claim you have made, or if we otherwise provide you with a credit or payment with respect to any problem arising out of any transaction made with the Card, you are automatically deemed to assign and transfer to us any rights and claims (excluding tort claims) that you have, had or may have against any third party for an amount equal to the amount we have paid to you or credited to your Card. You agree that you will not pursue any claim against or reimbursement from such third party for the amount that we paid or credited to your Card, and that you will cooperate with us if we decide to pursue the third party for the amount paid or credited to you. If we do not exercise our rights under this section, we do not give up our rights to exercise them in the future.
