For fraud prevention reasons, your card use may be queried and we may block further usage, either completely or only in certain territories or merchants. In such circumstances, you can contact Customer Services as follows:
Tel: 0333 433 0739
E: contactus@fairforyou.co.uk
We reserve the right to, at any time suspend, restrict or cancel your Card or refuse to issue or replace a Card for reasons relating to the following:
a) we are concerned about the security of your account or Card(s) we have issued to you;
b) we suspect your account is being used in an unauthorised or fraudulent manner; or
c) we need to do so to comply with the law.
If we do this, you may contact Customer Services to obtain the reason for the suspension, restriction or cancellation and we will tell you as soon as we can or are permitted to do so. Like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a retailer will accept your Card. We may also refuse to pay a transaction:
a) if we are concerned about security of your Card or we suspect your Card is being used in an unauthorised or fraudulent manner;
b) if sufficient funds are not loaded on your Card at the time of a transaction to cover the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees;
c) if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are acting in breach of these terms and conditions or the program agreement to which these terms and conditions relate;
d) if we believe that a transaction is potentially suspicious or illegal (for example, if we believe that a transaction is being made fraudulently); or
e) because of errors, failures (whether mechanical or otherwise) or refusals by merchants, payment processors or payment schemes processing transactions.
If we refuse to authorise a transaction, you may contact Customer Services and we will immediately tell you why, if practicable, unless it would be unlawful for us to do so. While speaking with Customer Services you may have the opportunity to correct any information we hold, and which may have caused us to refuse a transaction.
4. Authorising Transactions
Subject to the features of the particular Card, the authorisation of a transaction can include authorising any single transaction, or pre-authorising future transactions of a certain or uncertain amount.
A Card transaction will be regarded as authorised where you authorise the transaction at the point of sale by following the instructions provided by the merchant or retailer. This may include:
a) signing a sales voucher; or
b) providing the Card details and/ or providing any other details as requested.
Authorisation for a transaction may not be withdrawn (or revoked) by you after the time it is received by the merchant.
We will pay the funds required by the retailer or merchant to cover the transactions authorised by you within three (3) days of us receiving their request. A transaction will be received at the time we receive the transaction instruction from the merchant acquirer.
5. Expiry, suspension and cancellation of your Card
The Card will expire 60 months from the date on which it was purchased (the Expiry Date). After the Expiry Date, you cannot use the Card but you can request a replacement Card or access any funds not yet drawn down through the redemption process specified in clause 6 below.
We may also cancel this agreement or suspend your card or account immediately if we believe your Card is deliberately being used by you to commit fraud or for other illegal purposes. If we do this, you may contact Customer Services for the cancellation reason and to process a redemption of unused funds or funds not yet drawn down as appropiate. If your Card is cancelled, we will immediately block your Card so it cannot be used. You will not be entitled to a refund of money you have already spent on authorised transactions, or pending or any fees for use of the Card before the Card is cancelled or expires.
You can cancel your Card by contacting Customer Services. If you cancel your Card, once all transactions and fees have been deducted, we will arrange for any unused funds to be refunded to you in accordance with the redemption process mentioned in clause 6 below. A Redemption Fee may be charged (see Fees clause below).
6. Replacement and Redemption during and after the Expiry Date and Redemption Fee.
For up to six (6) years after the Expiry Date, the Cardholder may request a replacement Card to be activated immediately for the value of any remaining funds not yet drawn down as at the Expiry Date. In order to do so, the Cardholder must contact Customer Services and we may need to request certain information and/or documentation, in order to meet our legal obligations, before we are able to issue a replacement Card.
Upon the Expiry Date of the Card, any amount of the loan represented by the Card not drawn down by the Cardholder will be returned to Fair for You and the Cardholder’s liability to repay any loan amounts owing to Fair for You reduced accordingly.
7. Keeping your Card secure
You should treat your Card like cash. If it is lost or stolen, you may lose some or all of your money on your Card, in the same way as if you lost cash from your wallet or purse. As a result, you must keep your Card safe and not let anyone else use it.
We recommend that you check the balance on your Card regularly online at the Website.
8. Lost or stolen Card and unauthorised or incorrectly executed transactions
You must tell Customer Services without undue delay if you know or suspect that a Card is lost or stolen or if you think a transaction has been incorrectly executed.
We will refund any incorrectly executed transaction immediately unless we have any reason to believe that the incident has been caused by a breach of this agreement, gross negligence or we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraudulent activity. However, you will bear the loss, up to £35 in total, if the transaction results from the use of a lost or stolen card.
However, if investigations show that any disputed transaction was authorised by you, or you have acted fraudulently or with gross negligence (for example by failing to keep your Card secure), you may be liable for any loss we suffer because of the use of the Card as well as criminal or other proceedings.
9. Our liability
We will not be liable for any loss arising from:
a) any cause which results from abnormal or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control,
b) consequences which would have been unavoidable despite all our efforts to the contrary; or
c) a retailer refusing to accept your Card (unless we have acted negligently or willfully in this regard); or
d) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; or
e) loss or corruption of data unless caused by our negligence or willful default
10. Refunding Transactions
You may be entitled to claim a refund in relation to transactions where:
a) the transactions were not authorised under this agreement;
b) we are responsible for a transaction which was incorrectly executed and you notified us in accordance with clause 8 above;
c) a pre-authorised transaction did not specify the exact amount at the time of its authorisation and the amount charged by a supplier is more than you could reasonably have expected, taking into account normal spending patterns on the Card or the circumstances of the transaction.
A claim for a refund in the circumstances set out above will be rejected if the date of the claim exceeds one hundred and twenty (120) days from the settlement date of the transaction.
To process a refund request you must first contact Customer Services and complete a dispute transaction form. Upon completion of the dispute form you must email the form to info@perfectcard.io In order for us to comply with our legal obligations, we may ask you to provide identification information before we can process your refund request. Processing time may take up to forty-five (45) days for an outcome to be reached, though we will make reasonable efforts to process the request sooner. Subject to a favourable outcome of your dispute, the value in question may be refunded to the originating card or alternatively, whereas the originating card is expired, the refund may be processed to a bank account of your preference within one (1) to three (3) business days.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may change these terms at any time by notifying you on the Website at least two (2) months before the change is due to take effect. The most current version of the terms and conditions will always be available on the Website. The change will automatically take effect and you will be taken to have accepted the notified change unless you tell us that you do not agree to the change. In that event, we will treat that as notification that you wish immediately to terminate and, in such circumstances, we will refund any balance on the Card in accordance with clause 10 above and you will not be charged a Redemption Fee.
12. The Fees
We do not charge any fees for checking your balance online and transactions. However, the following fees do apply:
Fee Description Amount Frequency
