Acceptance: This Agreement constitutes a binding agreement between you and us with respect to the terms of use of the Card.

The Treasure Reloadable Prepaid Mastercard Card: The Card is a prepaid Mastercard that can be used anywhere that Mastercard is accepted, including mail order, online, telephone and point of sale retail merchants, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Activating the Card: The Card cannot be used for any purpose until it has been activated and signed by you on the back of the Card where indicated. Whether or not the Card has an activation sticker adhered to the Card face, you must sign the back of the Card.

Ownership and Use of the Card: The Card can be used to pay the full amount of the purchase and applicable taxes, so long as the Balance remaining on the Card is sufficient. The Card is, and will remain, our property. The Card is not a credit card, charge card, or debit card and its usage will not enhance nor improve your credit rating. No interest dividends or other earnings or returns will be paid on the Card. Neither the Card nor the Balance is a deposit account.

You have no right to write cheques on, or demand repayment of, the outstanding Balance on the Card, but are strictly limited to the right to use the Card, in accordance with this Agreement, as payment for goods and services from merchants who accept Mastercard.

When you use the Card to make a purchase, the amount of the purchase, plus any applicable fees and taxes, will be deducted from the available Balance associated with the Card. If you use the Card for card-not-present transactions (such as online, mail or telephone purchases), the legal effect is the same as if you used the physical Card.You will be solely and completely responsible for the possession, use and control of the Card. You must surrender the Card to us immediately upon request by us. The Card is provided to you, the Cardholder, only. You may not sell or assign the Card to a third party. If you authorize another person to use the Card you agree, to the extent permitted by law, that you will be liable for all transactions arising from use of the Card by such person.

You agree that we are not required to verify the signature on any sales draft prepared in connection with a transaction on the Card, and we may authorize and process a transaction even if the signature on the sales draft is different than the signature on the Card. You do not have the right to stop the payment of any transaction you conduct with the Card. We are not liable to you for declining authorization for any particular transaction, regardless of our reason. We may, in our sole discretion, cancel or suspend any features or services of the Card at any time, with or without cause, with thirty (30) days’ notice to you or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Some merchants (including, but not limited to, fuel stations, restaurants, hotels, cruise lines, or car rental companies) may pre-authorize the Transaction Amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% (or more) above the purchase amount to ensure there are sufficient funds available on the Card to cover any tips or incidental expenses. In such cases, your transaction will be declined if the Card Balance will not cover the Transaction Amount plus the additional amount.

A pre-authorization will place a ‘hold’ on an amount of your available Card funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the pre-authorization amount on hold in excess of that final payment amount will be released. The time it takes for a pre-authorization hold to be removed may vary depending on the type of merchant. A hold is typically removed within fifteen (15) business days for most standard merchants, and within thirty (30) days for hotels, cruise lines and car rental agencies. During the hold period, you will not have access to the pre-authorized amount.

Information About Balance: It is your responsibility to ensure that there is a sufficient Balance on the Card to cover transactions plus any pre-authorized amounts. To obtain the current Balance amount, or the transaction history, you may text customer service at 1-888-893-7424 or visit the Website. The Card Balance will reflect all transactions that have been posted to our system. You are not allowed to exceed the Balance available on your Card for any transaction.

If you attempt to use the Card when there is insufficient Balance available to cover the full Transaction Amount, the transaction in most instances will be declined. However, if due to a systems malfunction or for any reason whatsoever, a transaction occurs despite insufficient Balance on the Card, creating a negative amount, you agree to reimburse us, upon request, for the amount of the Transaction Amount in excess of the Balance.

Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies: We convert transactions, made in a foreign currency, to Canadian dollars using the Mastercard Conversion Rate in effect on the day the transaction is posted to the Card. The Mastercard Conversion Rate in effect on the posting date may differ from the rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

However, if a foreign currency transaction is refunded to the Card, the Mastercard Conversion Rate used to convert your refund to Canadian dollars for the Card is the rate that we pay to Mastercard minus the Foreign exchange charge. Additionally, the rate that we pay to Mastercard may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was refunded. For these reasons, the amount that is credited to the Card for a refund of a foreign currency transaction will, in most cases, be less than the amount that was originally charged to the Card for that transaction.

Protection Against Loss, theft, or Unauthorized Use: If the Card is lost or stolen, you will be asked to provide us with the name on the Card and the Card number, and to answer an identifying question drawn from your personal information. If you lose the Card, someone might be able to use the Balance on the Card. The Card can be used without a PIN to make purchases online.

We will refund any remaining Balance (less the card replacement fee) after we have processed all transactions completed before we had an opportunity to act on your information. We will have a customer service representative or automated voice response service available seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day that will allow immediate cancellation of the Card upon your request. We recommend that you write down the Card number and the customer service number in case the Card is lost or stolen.A replacement Card with any remaining Balance (less our fees as stated in the table marked ‘Fees’) will be issued within ten to fifteen (10-15) business days after you report the Card lost or stolen to ensure that all transactions have been processed properly. You agree, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to cooperate with us in our attempts to recover from unauthorized users and to assist in their prosecution.

The Mastercard Zero Liability Policy applies to purchases made in-store, via telephone, online, or from a mobile device. As a cardholder, you will not be held responsible for unauthorized transactions if:

  1. you have exercised reasonable care in protecting the Card and PIN (Personal Identification Number) from loss or theft, and
  2. you promptly reported the loss or theft of the Card or PIN to us.

If these conditions are not met you will be liable for all unauthorized transactions completed before you reported the loss or theft of the Card or PIN to us. Verification of a Zero Liability claim can take up to one hundred and twenty (120) days once all the required forms and/or documents have been received and confirmed by us, and may require a police investigation.

Notification and Changes to Terms: Subject to the limitations of Applicable Law, we may from time to time amend any term or condition of this Agreement or add a new term or condition, including increasing or adding new fees. As required by Applicable Law, notice of any Amendments will be sent to you at the most recent mailing or email address that we have on record for you.
