6. USING YOUR VISA CARD
6.1. Your Visa Card is generally accepted anywhere the Visa logo is displayed in Australia or overseas. OMMS, on behalf of Indue, will advise you:
(a) what transactions your Visa Card will enable you to perform at an Electronic Banking Terminal;
(b) which Electronic Banking Terminal networks you may use; and
(c) what mail, internet or telephone transactions you may carry out with your Visa Card by quoting your Visa Card Number or through the use of your Digital Wallet.
6.2. You accept that:
(a) not all Electronic Banking Terminals from which cash can be withdrawn will always contain cash;
(b) any cash dispensed at any Electronic Banking Terminal is at risk once it becomes visible or available for you to collect.
6.3. Any transaction made by you at an Electronic Banking Terminal cannot be cancelled, altered or changed by you.
6.4. You may only use your Visa Card to perform transactions on your Linked Account in accordance with these Conditions of Use.
6.5. In the first instance, your Linked Account will be debited (which will reduce the Available Funds of your Linked Account) with the value of all transactions carried out:
(a) by the use of your Visa Card at an Electronic Banking Terminal;
(b) by the use of your Visa Card Number (for example, using your Visa Card Number to conduct a telephone or internet transaction); or
(c) when your Visa Card is presented to a merchant (or someone else on behalf of a merchant) in a way acceptable to Indue and OMMS.
6.6. If the Linked Account is in the name of more than one person (referred to as a joint account), then you and the joint account holder will be jointly and severally liable (subject to your rights under these Conditions of Use)) for all transactions carried out by using yours or the joint account holder’s Visa Card or Visa Card Number. This means that:
(a) your joint account holder will be liable to Indue, OMMS and the Lender (subject to your rights under these Conditions of Use)) for all transactions that are carried out by use of your Visa Card or Visa Card Number; and
(b) if applicable, you will be liable to Indue, OMMS and the Lender (subject to your rights under these Conditions of Use)) for all transactions that are carried out by use of the joint account holder’s Visa Card or Visa Card Number.
6.7. To facilitate the processing of transaction information, your Visa Card details and transaction details may be processed by Visa in countries other than Australia. By using your Visa Card, you agree that information regarding any transactions may be processed outside of Australia.
6.8. If your Visa Card is payWave enabled, then it may be possible for your Visa Card to be used to pay for transactions that are under $100.00 by using the Visa payWave functionality at Visa payWave participating merchants. Before authorising a Visa payWave transaction by waving your Visa Card over the merchant’s enabled Visa payWave terminal, you must check that the correct amount is displayed on the Visa payWave terminal. If your transaction exceeds $100.00, you will be required to either sign or enter your PIN.
6.9 Your Visa Card will be registered with Visa Secure. Visa Secure is a program designed to authenticate online transactions. This means that when you use your Visa Card online to make a purchase at a Visa Secure Participating Merchant, your identity may need to be validated if the relevant transaction is deemed to be high risk. In certain circumstances, if your transaction is deemed to be very high risk, the transaction will be declined. If you are unable to validate your identity, your Visa Card may be suspended. For assistance in these circumstances or to learn how your Visa Card may be unsuspended, please contact OMMS during its normal business hours (refer to OMMS’s website at www.originmms.com.au for details of OMMS’s normal business hours).
7. LIMITATIONS OF YOUR VISA CARD
7.1. You should always check with the relevant merchant that it will accept your Visa Card before purchasing any goods or services. Neither Indue, OMMS nor the Lender warrants or accept any responsibility for:
(a) any Electronic Banking Terminal refusing to accept your Visa Card; or
(b) any goods or services purchased with your Visa Card.
7.2 You must not use your Visa Card for any unlawful purpose, including the purchase of goods or services prohibited by the laws of Australia and/or the laws of the location where the Visa Card is used or where the goods or services are provided. Should your Visa Card be used for unlawful purposes, your Visa Card may be suspended or cancelled and you may be restricted from accessing any Available Funds from your Linked Account.
7.3 It is an offence under Australian law to conduct transactions on an account which may lead to an actual or attempted evasion of a taxation law, or an offence under any other Commonwealth or Territory law. Where Indue or OMMS has reasonable grounds to suspect that such transaction(s) have occurred on your Linked Account, Indue or OMMS (as the case may be) is obliged to report such suspicion to the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre.
7.4. Fraudulent transactions can arise from use of your Visa Card or Visa Card Number. Where you advise OMMS or Indue that a transaction that has been debited to your Linked Account is fraudulent, unauthorised or disputed, OMMS or Indue (as the case may be) will investigate and review that transaction in accordance with section 36 of these Conditions of Use.
7.5. To the extent permitted by law, neither Indue, OMMS nor the Lender are responsible in the event that you have a dispute regarding the goods or services purchased using your Visa Card. In the first instance, you should contact the merchant directly. If you cannot resolve the dispute with the merchant, OMMS and Indue have the ability in certain circumstances to investigate disputed transactions on your behalf (refer to section 36 below for a list of circumstances when OMMS and Indue can investigate disputed transactions) and attempt to obtain a refund for you.
8. USING YOUR VISA CARD OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA
8.1. All transactions conducted overseas will be converted into Australian dollars. Transactions will either be converted directly into Australian dollars or will be first converted from the currency in which the transaction was made into US dollars and then converted to Australian dollars by Visa. The conversion rate used is either:
(a) a rate selected by Visa from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable processing date, which may vary from the rate Visa receives; or
(b) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable processing date.
8.2. A currency conversion fee will be payable by you when you make a transaction on your Visa Card in a currency other than Australian dollars, or you make a transaction on your Visa Card or make a cash withdrawal (for e.g. withdrawal at an ATM) in any currency (including AUD) that is processed by a card scheme or financial institution or billed by the merchant outside of Australia. It may not always be clear, particularly when purchasing online, that the merchant, financial institution or card scheme processing is located outside of Australia.
8.3. Note: Refunds in currencies other than Australian dollars are converted to Australian dollars as at the date they are processed by Visa using exchange rates determined by them. This may lead to the refund being converted using an exchange rate different from the one used to convert the original purchase. The converted Australian dollar amount appears on the Visa Card transaction history as the transaction amount.
8.4. The currency conversion fee charged is a percentage of the value of each overseas transaction effected by you. This fee will be debited to your Linked Account and will appear on your account statement. Please refer to your Schedule of Fees and Charges at the end of these Conditions of Use for the applicable amount of the currency conversion fee that applies as at the date you receive these Conditions of Use.
8.5. The currency conversion fee may change. Any change to this fee will be notified to you in accordance with section 49, unless the change reduces the amount of the fee.
9. TRANSACTION LIMITS
9.1. You agree that you will NOT use your Visa Card to:
(a) overdraw the balance in your Linked Account; or
(b) exceed the unused portion of any credit limit provided to you under any pre-arranged credit facility with OMMS and/or the Lender.
9.2. OMMS, as the manager of the Linked Account (on behalf of Indue as the Visa Card issuer):
(a) may set temporary or permanent limits on the minimum and maximum amounts that you may withdraw from your Linked Account on any one day through the Electronic Banking Terminal; and
(b) will advise you of any daily transaction limits that apply at the time of your application of your Visa Card.
9.3. Where a temporary minimum or maximum limit is imposed, OMMS will use reasonable endeavours to notify you that it has imposed a temporary transaction limit. A temporary maximum transaction limit will usually be imposed in circumstances where transactions appear to be suspicious or fraudulent. Where a new permanent minimum or maximum transaction limit is imposed, OMMS will inform you of this change in accordance with the requirements set out in section 42 of these Conditions of Use.
9.4. Merchants offering eftpos facilities have the right to impose conditions on the use of such facilities. This can include imposing their own transaction limits or restrictions on the amount of cash or value that you may obtain using your Visa Card.
10. AUTHORISATIONS AND PROCESSING OF TRANSACTIONS
10.1. Certain transactions that you make using your Visa Card may need to be authorised by OMMS and Indue before they can proceed. In these circumstances, prior to the transaction being completed, the relevant merchant’s financial institution will obtain authorisation from OMMS and Indue for the transaction to be processed. Once authorisation is obtained, it will reduce the amount of Available Funds in your Linked Account. If circumstances occur where authorisation is obtained by OMMS and Indue but the relevant transaction is not completed, your Available Funds in your Linked Account may be reduced for a period of time.
10.2. Transactions will not necessarily be processed to your Linked Account on the same day they occur. The date that you conduct the transaction is referred to as the transaction date. Some transactions will be processed after the transaction date. This is usually due to the relevant merchant’s financial institution not processing the relevant transaction on the transaction date.
10.3. OMMS and Indue have the right to refuse authorisation for you to effect a transaction if:
(a) OMMS or Indue has restricted access to your Linked Account in accordance with section 34 of these Conditions of Use;
(b) in accordance with section 34 of these Conditions of Use, OMMS or Indue believes on reasonable grounds that the transaction is fraudulent or suspicious; or
(c) the transaction will result in you overdrawing the Available Funds in your Linked Account.
11. DIGITAL WALLETS
11.1. You may enrol your Visa Card into an eligible Digital Wallet. The term Digital Wallet includes the payment functionality provided by the Wallet Providers, the Card provisioning functionality, and display of transaction history. Indue will determine, in its sole discretion, which Visa Cards may be eligible for use through a Digital Wallet and Indue reserves the right to decline any enrolment of a Visa Card to a Digital Wallet service where Indue reasonably considers it necessary or prudent to do so, without the need to give you any reason.
11.2. Use of a Digital Wallet is at your discretion. You are not obliged to use a Digital Wallet in connection with any of your Visa Cards.
11.3. You acknowledge that your use of a Digital Wallet is subject to any terms and conditions specified by the Wallet Providers, none of which will change or override these Terms and Conditions.
11.4. A Visa Card enrolled into a Digital Wallet enables a Cardholder to purchase goods and services with an Eligible Device at:
(a) near field communication (“NFC”) enabled merchants; and
(b) an online merchant (whether in-app or through website), who accepts payments from a Digital Wallet service.
11.5. Digital Wallet services allow you to use your Eligible Device to access and use your Visa Card to make purchases in place of presenting or using your physical Visa Card. Some Electronic Banking Terminals may require you to enter your PIN.
12. ENROLLING YOUR CARD
12.1. To add your Visa Card to a Digital Wallet, you must register your Card through the relevant Digital Wallet service. Your enrolment will be declined if the Card is not eligible for this service, you failed the authentication process, or if your Visa Card or your Linked Account is not in good standing or conducted in a proper or satisfactory manner as determined by OMMS in its absolute discretion, which OMMS shall exercise reasonably. Your Visa Card, in digital form stored in the Digital Wallet remains the property of Indue at all times.
13. ACCEPTABLE USE OF PASSCODES AND BIOMETRIC IDENTIFIERS
13.1. If your Visa Card is enrolled in a Digital Wallet you are responsible for ensuring that:
(a) only your Biometric Identifier is registered on the Eligible Device (and no other person’s Biometric Identifier is registered);
(b) the Digital Wallet is not shared with anyone and is used only by you;
(c) you keep your passcode secure in the same way as a Cardholder would a banking password or PIN secure, including by:
(i) not sharing it with anyone;
(ii) not carrying a record of it within an
Eligible Device or with anything capable of being stolen along with an Eligible Device (unless a reasonable effort is made to protect the security of it);
(iii) not choosing an easily guessable passcode such as your date of birth or a recognisable part of your name; and
(iv) not acting with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of the passcode;
(d) you keep the Eligible Device safe and secure (including by locking it when not in use or when it is unattended and by installing up-to-date anti-virus software on it);

(a) let any other person’s Biometric Identifier be registered on your Eligible Device;
(b) share your passcode with any other person; or
(c) register a Biometric Identifier on your Eligible Device in circumstances where you are aware that another person is or may be able to use their biometric information to access the Eligible Device,
you are taken to have authorised that person to transact on your account using the relevant Digital Wallet. This means that any Digital Wallet transaction initiated by that person using the passcode or Biometric Identifier will be authorised by you, you will be responsible and liable for those transactions, and these Conditions of Use which deal with unauthorised transactions will not apply. You understand and acknowledge that this can result in significant loss or liability to you.
14. LOST, STOLEN OR COMPROMISED DEVICES
14.1. Please call the VISA CARD 24hr EMERGENCY HOTLINE on 1800 6211 99 if:
(a) your Eligible Device is lost or stolen, personal identification number or other passcode is compromised or used or your Visa Card has been used through your Digital Wallet without your permission,
(b) your Eligible Device mobile service is suddenly disconnected without your permission (which may indicate your Eligible Device and/or your Visa Card(s) enrolled in a Digital Wallet has/have been subject to unauthorised use or access); or
(c) you suspect a security breach in relation to your Eligible Device or Digital Wallet or that an unauthorised person has used your passcode, PIN or your other credentials to access your Digital Wallet.

15. TRANSACTION HISTORY DISPLAYED IN A DIGITAL WALLET
15.1. The transaction history displayed in a Digital Wallet in connection with the use of your Visa Card solely represents OMMS’s authorisation of your Digital Wallet transactions using that particular Eligible Device. It does not reflect any post-authorisation activity, including but not limited to clearing, settlement, foreign currency exchange, reversals, returns or chargebacks.
15.2. Accordingly, the purchase amount, currency, and other details for your Digital Wallet transaction history in connection with use of your Visa Card in a Digital Wallet may not match the transaction amount that is ultimately cleared, settled, and posted to your Linked Account. If there is any inconsistency between your Linked Account statement and transaction history displayed in your Digital Wallet, your Linked Account statement, subject to the correction of any error OMMS reasonably determines to exist, shall prevail, and you will remain liable to OMMS for the amounts set out on your Link Account statements.
16. FEES & CHARGES FOR USING DIGITAL WALLET

Neither Indue nor OMMS will accept any liability for any losses that you may incur as a result of us denying you access to your Visa Cards through a Digital Wallet in these circumstances.
18.2. Indue and OMMS have the right to suspend or cancel your ability to use your Visa Card in connection with a Digital Wallet at any time either Indue or OMMS consider it reasonably necessary or prudent to do so and need not give you any prior notice or reason for doing so.

Visa Direct enables cardholders to send and receive money to other Visa cardholders via the Visa payment network, in a manner that is similar to how a merchant is able to refund a payment to your Visa Card and Linked Account. Indue does not provide Visa Direct services, other than clearing and settlement of Visa Direct transactions to your Linked Account initiated by your use of your Visa Card with merchants and other participants in the Visa payment network.
27.2. All Visa Direct transaction will be processed in accordance with the Visa Scheme Rules and these Conditions of Use. Indue and OMMS do not currently prescribe any limits or fees on Visa Direct transactions, other than those prescribed by Visa. Indue and OMMS reserve their rights to implement limits and additional fees in future, where they reasonably consider it necessary to do so. Any changes will be notified to you in accordance with section 42.
27.3. You acknowledge that Indue and OMMS are not parties to the terms and conditions upon which you agree to send or receive a Visa Direct transaction. Indue and OMMS do not provide any warranty in respect of a Visa Direct payment service provided to you by a third-party provider.
27.4. Indue and OMMS are not responsible for the performance, maintenance or other support services in respect of a Visa Direct payment service other than in respect of the clearing and settlement of Visa Direct Transaction in accordance with the Visa Scheme Rules to your Linked Account and shall not be responsible for any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses with respect to a Visa Direct service, including, without limitation, any third party product liability claims, claims that a Visa Direct payment service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, claims arising under the Australian Consumer Law or similar legislation, and claims with respect to intellectual property infringement unless arising directly from Indue’s or OMMS’s mistake, negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct (including those of their employees, officers, agents and contractors). Any inquiries or complaints relating to the use of a Visa Direct payment service, including those pertaining to Intellectual Property Rights, should be directed to the Visa Direct payment service provider in the first instance.
27.5. In certain circumstances you may have chargeback rights that may entitle you to a refund. Refer to section 37 for more information in respect of your chargeback rights.
27.6. This section 28 is subject to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law and nothing in these Conditions of Use is intended to limit any rights you may have under those laws.
28. ADDITIONAL CARDS
28.1. You may apply to OMMS to request that an additional Visa Card be given to your nominee (referred to as an Additional Cardholder). OMMS is not obliged to grant any additional Visa Cards. OMMS and Indue are required to comply with all laws governing the issuing of debit cards (including identification and verification of any additional cardholders in accordance with the AML Legislation).
28.2. When an additional Visa Card is issued at your request:
(a) you agree that you will provide the Additional Cardholder with a copy of these Conditions of Use and any updates made to these Conditions of Use from time to time that are communicated to you;
(b) you will be liable (subject to your rights under these Conditions of Use) for all transactions carried out by use of the additional Visa Card. Fraudulent or unauthorised transactions can occur on debit cards. Where you (or your Additional Cardholder) advise OMMS or Indue that a transaction that has occurred on your Visa Card or your Additional Cardholder’s Visa Card is fraudulent, unauthorised or disputed, OMMS or Indue (as the case may be) will investigate and review that transaction in accordance with section 37 below;
(c) you authorise OMMS and Indue to give to any Additional Cardholder information about your accounts for the purposes of their use of the additional Visa Card. You also authorise OMMS and Indue to act on the instructions of the Additional Cardholder in relation to their use of their additional Visa Card, except to the extent that any such instructions relate to the termination of your accounts or the replacement of an additional Visa Card following cancellation of that Visa Card by you; and
(d) you can cancel the additional Visa Card at any time by:
(i) cutting it in half diagonally (including cutting in half any chip) and either returning the pieces to OMMS and requesting the additional Visa Card be cancelled or by informing OMMS that you have destroyed the additional Visa Card and disposed of the pieces securely; and
(ii) ensuring the Additional Cardholder has removed the additional Visa Card from their Digital Wallet.
28.3. You must write to OMMS confirming cancellation of the additional Visa Card. If you cannot destroy the additional Visa Card or ensure its removal from a Digital Wallet you should contact OMMS by telephone and request that OMMS place a “stop” on your Linked Account.
28.4. If an Additional Cardholder does not comply with these Conditions of Use then you will be in breach of these Conditions of Use.
29. RENEWAL OF YOUR VISA CARD
29.1. Indue will arrange for OMMS to forward to you and your Additional Cardholder a replacement Visa Card before the expiry date of your current Visa Card or additional Visa Card, provided that you are not otherwise in default under these Conditions of Use. If you store your Visa Card in a Digital Wallet, you will need to enrol your replacement Visa Card into your Digital Wallet and remove the expired Visa Card from the Digital Wallet.
29.2. If you do not require a replacement Visa Card, either for yourself or your Additional Cardholder, you must notify OMMS before the expiration date of your current Visa Card. You must give OMMS a reasonable time to arrange cancellation of the issue of a replacement Visa Card.
29.3. Indue may arrange for OMMS to issue a new Visa Card to you or your Additional Cardholder at any time. All reissued cards are subject to these Conditions of Use. Indue will typically do this in circumstances where it or OMMS considers that the security of your Visa Card or PIN may have been compromised or where Indue is required to issue new cards to all its cardholders as a result of any payment scheme rule changes. In these circumstances, you will not be charged any replacement card fee.
30. CANCELLATION AND RETURN OF YOUR VISA CARD
30.1. The Visa Card always remains the property of Indue.
30.2. Indue or OMMS (on behalf of Indue as the Visa Card issuer) may cancel your Visa Card and demand the return of the Visa Card issued to you and your Additional Cardholder at any time without prior notice:
(a) for security reasons where your Visa Card has been or is reasonably suspected to have been compromised and such compromise has been caused directly by you, an Additional Cardholder or any other third party as a result of your conduct;
(b) the Linked Account has been overdrawn, or you have exceeded the Available Limit;
(c) if you breach these Conditions of Use or the terms and conditions of the Linked Account and you fail to remedy that default within 14 days after receiving a written notice from OMMS or Indue requesting you to remedy the default; (d) if your Linked Account is closed or is inactive;
(e) if, without the agreement of OMMS, you alter the authorities governing the use of your Linked Account; or
(f) Indue or OMMS believe that the use of the Visa Card may cause loss to the account holder, Indue, OMMS or the Lender.
30.3. Indue or OMMS (on behalf of Indue as the Visa Card issuer) may also capture your Visa Card at any Electronic Banking Terminal.
30.4. While in these circumstances you may not be notified prior to the cancellation of your Visa Card, either Indue or OMMS will use reasonable endeavours to notify you following cancellation of your Visa Card.
30.5. Indue or OMMS may also cancel your Visa Card and demand the return of the Visa Card issued to you and your Additional Cardholder at any time on giving you not less than one months’ written notice.
30.6. You may cancel your Visa Card or your Additional Cardholder’s Visa Card at any time by giving OMMS written notice. In these circumstances you must either return all Visa Cards to OMMS (cut in half for your protection, including cutting in half any chip on your Visa Card) or confirm by telephone that all Visa Cards have been destroyed and that you have disposed of the pieces securely. You must then write to OMMS to confirm cancellation of your Visa Cards.
30.7. You and/or any Additional Cardholders may be restricted or prevented from accessing any available funds from your Linked Account by using a Visa Card in circumstances where:
(a) there is a default of these Conditions of Use; and
(b) Indue or OMMS has notified you of this default and advised you that restrictions will be placed on access to your Linked Account through use of your Visa Card if you do not rectify the relevant default in accordance with the timeframes set out in the notice that has been provided to you.
30.8. Indue or OMMS, where possible, will provide you with at least seven (7) days’ notice of its intention to restrict the ability for you to access any available funds from your Linked Account by using your Visa Card.
31. CONDITIONS AFTER CANCELLATION OR EXPIRY OF YOUR VISA CARD
31.1. You must not use your Visa Card or allow your Additional Cardholder to use his or her additional Visa Card:
(a) after it has been cancelled or restricted; or
(b) after the expiry date shown on the face of the Visa Card.
31.2. In some circumstances, your Visa Card may be used for purchases which are below Floor Limits and where no electronic approval is required. If you or an Additional Cardholder uses your Visa Card after it has been cancelled or restricted, you will be liable to Indue, OMMS and the Lender (as the case may be) for the value of any transaction as well as any reasonable costs incurred your Indue, OMMS and/or the Lender (as the case may be) in collecting the amount owing. This section 33 survives termination of these Conditions of Use, expiry of your Visa Card and the closing of the Linked Account.
32. YOUR LIABILITY IN CASE YOUR VISA CARD IS LOST OR STOLEN OR IN THE CASE OF UNAUTHORISED USE
32.1. You are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorised use of your Visa Card:
(a) where the losses are caused by the fraudulent or negligent conduct of:
(i) Indue or OMMS;
(ii) employees or agents of Indue or OMMS;
(iii) companies involved in networking
arrangements; or (iv) merchants or agents or employees of merchants;
(b) before you have actually received your Visa Card and PIN and acknowledged receipt of your Visa Card and PIN to OMMS;
(c) subject to section 31, where the losses relate to any component of your Visa Card or PIN being forged, faulty, expired or cancelled;
(d) where the losses are caused by the same transaction being incorrectly debited more than once to your Linked Account;
(i) after you have reported it lost or stolen;
(ii) if you did not contribute to any unauthorised use of your Visa Card; or
(iii) if the unauthorised transaction was made using your Visa Card information without use of your actual Visa Card or PIN.
32.2. For the purpose of section 34(1)(b), there is a presumption that you did not receive your Visa Card unless Indue or OMMS can prove that you did.
32.3. For the purpose of section 34(1)(f), OMMS (on behalf of Indue) will undertake an assessment to consider whether you have contributed to any loss caused by unauthorised use of your Visa Card. This assessment will include a review of whether you:
(a) voluntarily disclosed your PIN to anyone, including a family member or friend;
(b) voluntarily allowed someone else to observe you entering your PIN into an Electronic Banking Terminal;
(c) wrote or indicated your PIN on your Visa Card on any article carried with your Visa Card or likely to be lost or stolen at the same time as your Visa Card;
(d) allowed anyone else to use your Visa Card;
(e) unreasonably delayed notification of:
(i) your Visa Card or PIN record being lost or stolen;
(ii) unauthorised use of your Visa Card; or
(iii) the fact that someone else knows your PIN; or
(f) in relation to a transaction carried out at an ATM, used an ATM that incorporated reasonable safety standards that mitigated the risk of a card being left in the ATM.
32.4. Where a transaction can be made using your Visa Card but does not require your PIN, you are liable only if you unreasonably delay reporting the loss or theft of your Visa Card.
32.5. If OMMS or Indue can prove on the balance of probability that you have contributed to the unauthorised use of your Visa Card under section 32(1)(a)(vii) your liability will be the lesser of:
(a) the actual loss when less than your Available Funds (including the unused portion of any credit limit provided to you under any pre-arranged credit facility) with OMMS and/or the Lender;
(b) your Available Funds (including the unused portion of any credit limit provided to you under any pre- arranged credit facility with OMMS and/or the Lender);
(c) an amount calculated by adding the actual losses incurred for each day, up to the current daily withdrawal limit, on which unauthorised use occurred before you reported the loss, theft or unauthorised use of your Visa Card, up to and including the day you make your report; or
(d) the amount for which you would be held liable if any industry rules, such as Visa’s scheme rules, applied (if you wish to find out what industry rules apply to transactions made using your Visa Card, please contact OMMS).
32.6. In assessing your liability under section 32.1:
(a) where your Visa Card has been lost or stolen, the number of days will be calculated by
(b) reference to the day when you should reasonably have become aware that it was lost or stolen; and
(c) the current daily withdrawal limit is the limit applicable at the time of the transaction by reference to the status and/or type of Electronic Banking Terminal at which the transaction occurred.
32.7. Where a PIN was required to perform the unauthorised transaction and it is unclear whether or not you have contributed to any loss caused by the unauthorised use of your Visa Card, your liability will be the lesser of:
(a) $150;
(b) your Available Funds (including the unused portion of any credit limit provided to you under any pre- arranged credit facility by OMMS and/or the Lender);
(c) the actual loss at the time OMMS is notified of the loss or theft of your Visa Card or mobile device; or
(d) the amount for which you would be held liable if any industry rules, such as Visa’s scheme rules, applied (if you wish to find out what industry rules apply to transactions made using your Visa Card, please contact OMMS).
32.8. In assessing your liability under this section 32:
(a) OMMS (on behalf of Indue) will consider all reasonable evidence including all reasonable explanations for an unauthorised use having occurred;
(b) the fact that an account is accessed with the correct PIN, while significant, is not of itself conclusive evidence that you have contributed to the loss; and
(c) the use or security of any information required to perform a transaction that you are not required to keep secret (for example, your Visa Card Number and the expiry date on the front of your Visa Card) is not relevant to your liability.
33. VISA ZERO LIABILITY
33.1. In addition to the limits placed on your liability pursuant to the ePayments Code and described in section 34 above, Visa’s scheme rules provide that Indue and OMMS shall limit your liability to nil.
33.2. In the following circumstances:
(a) it is found that you have not contributed to any loss caused by unauthorised use of your Visa Card following the review described in section 32(3); and
(b) you have provided all reasonably requested documentation to OMMS and Indue, which may include provision of a statutory declaration and police report.
33.3. Where this Visa zero liability section applies, OMMS and Indue will endeavour to refund the amount of the unauthorised transaction(s) within five (5) days, subject to:
(a) you having provided all reasonably requested information to OMMS and Indue;
(b) you are not otherwise in default or have breached these Conditions of Use; or
(c) OMMS and Indue not reasonably determining that further investigation is necessary before refunding the amount of the unauthorised transactions based on:
(i) the conduct of the Linked Account;
(ii) the nature and circumstances surrounding the unauthorised transaction(s); and
(iii) any delay in notifying OMMS of the unauthorised transaction(s).
33.4. Any refund is conditional upon the final outcome of OMMS’s and Indue’s investigation of the matter and may be withdrawn by OMMS or Indue where it considers that this section shall not apply as a result of that investigation. In making any determination in respect of this section, OMMS and Indue will comply with the requirements of section 32 of these Conditions of Use.
34. RESOLVING ERRORS
34.1. If you believe a transaction is wrong or unauthorised or your account statement contains any instances of unauthorised use or errors, you must immediately notify OMMS or the Visa Card 24 Hour Emergency Hot Line as explained in section 6.
34.2. As soon possible, you must also provide OMMS the following:
(a) your name and address, account number and Visa Card Number;
(b) details of the transaction or the error you consider is wrong or unauthorised;
(c) a copy of the account statement in which the unauthorised transaction or error first appeared;
(d) the dollar amount and an explanation as to why you believe it is an unauthorised transaction or an error;
(e) the names of other users authorised to operate the Linked Account;
(f) details of whether your Visa Card is signed and PIN is secure; and
(g) any other details required by OMMS.
34.3. Examples of transactions you may wish to dispute include circumstances where:
(a) the transaction is not recognised by you;
(b) you did not authorise the transaction;
(c) you did not receive the goods or services to which the transaction relates;
(d) the transaction amount differs to the purchase amount;
(e) you did not receive the requested cash from an ATM (or you only received part of the cash requested); or
(f) you believe a transaction has been duplicated.
34.4. If OMMS finds that an error was made, it will make the appropriate adjustments to your Linked Account including interest and charges (if any) and will advise you in writing of the amount of the adjustment.
35. CHARGEBACK RIGHTS
35.1. If you believe a transaction on your Visa Card was:
(a) unauthorised;
(b) for goods or services and the merchant did not deliver them and a refund or credit was not offered or provided by the merchant; or
(c) for goods and services which did not match the description provided by the merchant and a refund or credit was not offered or provided by the merchant,
then you may be entitled to request OMMS to ‘chargeback’ the transaction, by reversing the payment to the merchant’s financial institution. Chargebacks are determined by the Visa Scheme Rules. You should tell OMMS as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after the date of the transaction and provide OMMS with any information they may reasonably require to assess your chargeback claim. Failure to do so may result in you losing any chargeback rights.
35.2. OMMS may in good faith chargeback some or all of the amount disputed. However, if OMMS does chargeback the transaction (and credit you Linked Account with the amount of the chargeback), and Visa, the merchant, or the merchant’s financial institution subsequently declines to chargeback the transaction, OMMS will deduct the refunded amount from your Linked Account.
36. COMPLAINTS
36.1. OMMS will determine all complaints in accordance with its complaints policy. You can contact us via our website to get a copy of OMMS’s complaints policy. A copy of OMMS’s complaints policy is available online at: https://colcap.com.au/complaints-policy/

36.4. Otherwise, within 30 days of receiving the complaint from you, OMMS will:
(a) advise you in writing of the results of its investigations; or
(b) advise you in writing of the reasons for any further delay and the date by which you can reasonably expect to hear the outcome of OMMS’s investigation.
