1. ABOUT THE CARD

Your Card is a prepaid Card loaded by the Corporate Sponsor, redeemable to buy goods and services at participating merchants, which can be found at www.MyPrepaidCenter.com. The Card is NOT a credit Card. The Card is not a checking account or connected in any way to any account other than a stored value account where your funds are held. If you have registered your Card, the funds will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), subject to applicable limitations and restrictions of such insurance. You may register your Card by logging into www. MyPrepaidCenter.com or calling Customer Service.

2. USING THE CARD
  • Accessing Funds and Limitations
    You must activate your Card prior to use by going to www.myprepaidcenter.com.The Corporate Sponsor is fully responsible for ensuring funds are available to be loaded to your Card. Each time you use your Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available on your Card by the amount of the transaction. Your Card cannot be: (1) redeemed for its cash value; (2) used for illegal transactions; (3) used for purchases where recurring payments may occur, such as subscriptions, memberships, rentals, etc.; or (4) used to obtain cash at an automated teller machine (“ATM”). For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of transactions you can make on your Card. We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EXCEED THE BALANCE OF THE FUNDS AVAILABLE ON YOUR CARD. If you attempt to use the Card when there are insufficient funds associated with it, the transaction will generally be declined. Nevertheless, if a transaction that exceeds the balance of the funds available on your Card occurs due to a systems malfunction or otherwise, you will remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction. We reserve the right to cancel this Card should you create a negative balance. If you do not have enough funds available on your Card, you may be able to instruct the merchant perform a “split transaction” to charge part of the purchase to the Card and pay the remaining amount with another form of payment.
  • Limits
    Spend Limitations Limit
    Maximum Account balance at any time Subject to the balance on the card
    *Third parties may impose additional limitations.
  • Authorized Users
    If you allow another person to use the Card, you will be responsible under this Agreement for all transactions made by that person, regardless of whether you intended to be responsible for all of them, as well as all associated fees and charges, even if any of those transactions, fees or charges caused your balance to go negative.
  • Foreign Transactions
    If you obtain your funds (or make a purchase) in a currency or country other than the currency or country in which your Card was issued (“Foreign Transaction”), the amount deducted from your funds will be converted by the network or card association that processes the transaction into an amount in the currency of your Card. The rate they choose is either: (i) selected from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets (which may vary from the rate the association itself receives), or (ii) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The conversion rate selected by the network is independent of the International Transaction Fee that we charge as compensation for our services. You will be charged an International Transaction Fee in U.S. dollars equal to 2% on the total amount of the transaction. If the Foreign Transaction results in a credit due to a return, we will not refund any International Transaction Fee that may have been charged on your original purchase.
  • Personal Identification Number (“PIN”)
    If you wish to make a Personalized Identification Number (“PIN”) debit purchases you may obtain a PIN by visiting www.MyPrepaidCenter.com or calling Customer Service. CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED AT ATMS AND CANNOT BE USED TO OBTAIN CASH IN ANY PURCHASE TRANSACTION. You should not write or keep your PIN with your Card. Never share your PIN with anyone and do not enter your PIN into any terminal that appears to be modified or suspicious.
  • Obtaining Card Balance Information
    You may obtain information about the amount of money you have remaining on your Card at no charge by contacting Customer Service. This information, along with a history of Card transactions, is also available online by visiting our Website. It may also be possible to request a written copy of Card transactions by contacting Customer Service.
  • Authorization Holds
    You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase transaction originated by use of your Card. With certain types of purchases (such as those made at restaurants, hotels, or similar purchases), your Card may be “preauthorized” for an amount greater than the transaction amount to cover gratuity or incidental expenses. Any preauthorization amount will place a “hold” on your available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorization amount on hold will be removed. During this time, you will not have access to preauthorized amounts. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds.
  • Returns and Refunds
    If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card, the return and refund will be handled by the merchant. If the merchant credits your Card, the credit may not be immediately available. While merchant refunds post as soon as they are received, please note that we have no control over when a merchant sends a credit transaction and the refund may not be available for a number of days after the date the refund transaction occurs.

    • Receipts
      You may wish to retain receipts as a record of transactions. You may need a receipt in order to verify a transaction with us or the merchant.
3. REPLACEMENT CARD

If you need to replace your Card for any reason, please contact Customer Service. See the table above for applicable fees. Please note that your Card has a “Valid Thru” date on the front of the Card. You may not use the Card after the “Valid Thru” date. However, even if the “Valid Thru” date has passed, the available funds on your Card do not expire. You will not be charged a fee for replacement cards that we send due to expiration of the Card.

4. COMMUNICATIONS

You agree that we may monitor and record any calls or other communications between us and you. You also agree that we or our service providers may contact you by using an automated dialing or email system, by text, or artificial or recorded voice.

  • Zero Liability

This policy limiting your liability does not apply to debit transactions not processed by Mastercard, certain commercial transactions, or unregistered cards.
6. NO WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

  • Jury Trial Waiver: To the extent permitted by law, you and we knowingly and voluntarily waive any right to trial by jury in the event of litigation arising out of or related to this agreement. This Jury Trial Waiver does not modify in any fashion the Arbitration Clause set forth in the following section, which contains its own jury trial waiver.
  • Arbitration Clause: You can opt out of this Arbitration Clause within 60 calendar days from the earlier of purchasing, activating, or using the Card. You must send the opt out notice in writing to MetaBank, N.A. Attn: Customer Service, 5501 S Broadband Ln, Sioux Falls, SD 57108 (“Notice Address”).

Arbitration may be brought by you or us, and we will not demand arbitration if you bring an individual action in small claims court. In addition to the Jury Trial Waiver above, you also waive your rights to be a class member or bring suit in a class action or class arbitration. In order to commence an arbitration, the party bringing the dispute must send the notice and complaint in writing. You must send your notice to the Notice Address. After receiving notice, the other party has 30 days to attempt to resolve the issue before a suit or arbitration commences. We will pay all costs associated with administering an arbitration brought by you in good faith, if you cannot get a waiver and ask us to pay. Further, we will pay legal fees and costs if you win or as required by law or the arbitrator. This Arbitration Clause will stay in force if your Card is closed or we assign our rights under this Agreement.
