IMPORTANT SECURITY INFORMATION

Below are a series of important security tips you should follow when using your Card.

You are solely liable for any Cards we have issued on your Card Account, and for their use. This is so even if a charge is incurred by an Additional Cardholder, and, in certain circumstances, where a charge is incurred after a Card was lost or stolen.

If we print a name on a Card, it must be used by that person (the cardholder). You may not transfer the Card to a person other than the cardholder.

We may require a sample of the cardholder’s signature before we provide a Card to that person.

The cardholder must immediately sign the Card in the marked space when they receive it, before they use it. If the cardholder does not sign the Card, you will be liable for all charges incurred byfraudulent or unauthorized use of the Card.

You must destroy invalid cards. If your Card (the invalid card) permanently ceases to be valid (for instance, if the expiry month has passed or it is materially damaged), or if you receive a Card which replaces the invalid card, you must destroy the invalid card.

Using a Card in a taxi: When you complete your journey, the taxi operator will process your Card through their EFTPOS terminal (or another device approved by us) or complete the Account Coded Docket.

You must ensure that the details entered are correct. If you are satisfied that they are, you must sign the docket or if applicable, the receipt. Never sign a receipt or docket before ensuring that the fare details are correct. You must retain your receipt for your records.

Never sign a blank or incomplete Account Coded Docket and always ensure the fare details are correct before signing.

Despite the safety features we include with them, Account Coded Dockets, eTickets and Cards may be misused. You must keep your Account Coded Dockets, eTickets and Cards safe. In particular, you must:

• retain control of all your issued and unused Account Coded Dockets and eTickets at all times; and
• never carry a full book of Account Coded Dockets, or an excessive number of Account Coded Dockets or eTickets, in public.
