This Prepaid Card is an Eftpos Reloadable Card.
 
This Prepaid Card allows purchases and payments to be made in selected businesses, as determined by Cards4all and the Merchant who’s name appears on the face of the card, through Eftpos equipment, if a sufficient Value is stored on the Prepaid Card. The Prepaid Card cannot be used to withdraw cash at ATMs or withdrawal cash at EFTPoS. Businesses may choose not to accept this Eftpos prepaid card. You should always check with the business that it will accept your Prepaid Card before you attempt to purchase any goods or services.

Cards4all Pty. Ltd. will debit (deduct) against the Value any transaction you authorise using your Prepaid Card.

Cards4all Pty. Ltd. will (in the first instance) consider a transaction as having been authorised by you when:

You must give Cards4all Pty. Ltd. a reasonable time to arrange cancellation and the issue of a replacement Prepaid Card.

10.    USING YOUR PREPAID CARD
The Prepaid Card cannot be used to make or complete a transaction that exceeds the Value that is stored on your Prepaid Card from time to time. Any attempted transaction that you make that is in excess of the Value stored on your Prepaid Card at that time will be rejected. In these circumstances, a Transaction Fee for Decline will apply (see section 14 below). The Prepaid Card may be used as many times as desired as long as the necessary Value is available, the Expiry Date has not been reached and the Prepaid Card has not been suspended or cancelled.
 
Cards4all Pty. Ltd. does not warrant or accept any responsibility if an Electronic Banking Terminal does not accept your Prepaid Card. You should always check with the relevant business that it will accept your Prepaid Card before purchasing any goods or services.

Cards4all Pty. Ltd. is not responsible in the event that you have a dispute regarding the goods or services purchased using your Prepaid Card.

After you conduct a load, it can take up to 72 hours for your funds to be available for use on your Prepaid Card.
 
The total Value that may be loaded (added) onto your Prepaid Card at any one time cannot exceed the Prepaid Card Limit. Any attempted load that would take the Prepaid Card Value over the Prepaid Card Limit at any one time will be rejected in full. To avoid this Cards4all Pty. Ltd. recommends that you regularly check your balance online.

Promotional Offers and Loyalty Schemes – Converting Reward Points
