We will have no liability for losses you incur arising from an unauthorised payment which you

You will be liable for any losses arising out of an unauthorised payment if:

User in respect of unauthorised payments arising from the use of a lost or stolen Card or
Security Credentials save that we will not hold you liable for such an amount if the unauthorised
payment was caused either by our acts or omissions, or those of a third party expressly carrying
out activities on our behalf.
Where we provide you with information regarding potential fraud in relation to the Services, we
may incorporate your response (or lack thereof) into our assessment of whether there has been
fraudulent behaviour in relation to your Payment Account or Authorised Users.
If you have given us incorrect instructions in relation to a payment, we may reasonably assist
you to recover the funds, where possible, but do not guarantee that this would be successful.

were dissatisfied with the quality of the goods or services).
You should report any suspected APP Scams to us and the police as soon as possible (and at
least within thirteen (13) months of the payment). You can report multiple transactions related
to the same APP Scam in one claim. We may ask for your permission to report the APP Scam
to the police on your behalf. If you do not give permission, it could affect your reimbursement
eligibility.
We will only reimburse eligible transactions from your claim. When your claim is closed, we will
inform you of the transactions we can reimburse and any that are ineligible. The maximum
amount we can reimburse you for an APP Scam claim is up to the value and excess as set by
Applicable Laws.
Your claim in relation to an APP Scam may be rejected where:
18.5.1 the transaction does not meet eligibility criteria;
18.5.2 you acted with gross negligence, provided false information or participated in the APP
Scam; and/or
18.5.3 you did not report the APP Scam within thirteen (13) months of the transaction.
We may also reject an APP Scam claim if you have ignored a warning from us, the police or
another authority that you might be the victim of an APP Scam or you have not provided us
with any information we have requested to help us investigate your claim.
Where we reject a claim in relation to an APP Scam, we will explain the reasons for doing so
save where we are prohibited from doing so under Applicable Laws.
If we accept your claim in relation to an APP Scam, we will refund you within five (5) Business
Days. If we need more information, this could take up to thirty five (35) Business Days.
