Apple Cash Terms and Conditions
- THE SERVICES
- Generally. When you accept these Terms, you will be creating a user account with us for your use of the Services (your “Apple Cash Account”). The Services consist of the following separate functions that we will provide unless we otherwise designate a third party to perform any part of those functions: (i) the “Apple Cash Card”, which is a virtual prepaid card that is issued by Bank or another card issuer that we designate; (ii) the “Apple Cash Balance”, which is the balance in the prepaid account held by Bank that is linked to the Apple Cash Card; and (iii) the “Funds Transfer Service”, which is a service initiated by you in your Apple Cash Account that allows you to: (a) send money using funds in your Apple Cash Balance or, if you do not have sufficient funds in your Apple Cash Balance, a Supported Payment Card (as defined in Section 1(D) below) to other individuals that are eligible to use the Services and have accepted these Terms (each such person, a “User”, and each such transfer, a “P2P Transfer”), (b) load funds to your Apple Cash Balance with a Supported Payment Card, and (c) transfer money from your Apple Cash Balance to your designated bank account at a U.S. financial institution (a “Bank Transfer”). Each aspect of the Services, including the conditions and limitations on their use, is described in greater detail below.
- Apple Cash Account with Bank. In addition to providing the ability for you to obtain the Services, your Apple Cash Account provides a record of your use of the Services. Unless otherwise expressly noted, references to your Apple Cash Account include all Services provided through the account, including any Family Accounts (as defined in Section 5(A) below) that you establish. Please see Section 5 below entitled “Apple Cash Family” for more information on Family Accounts.
- Eligibility. The Services may only be used for personal, family, household, or non-commercial purposes. You may not use the Services for business or commercial purposes. Except as specified below in Section 5 entitled “Apple Cash Family”, in order to create an Apple Cash Account and use the Services, you must: (i) be 18 years of age or older; (ii) have a physical residential address in one of the 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia or Puerto Rico (collectively, the “U.S.”); and (iii) accept and agree to these Terms, the Electronic Communications Agreement, and our Privacy Policy. Additionally, you must: (i) have an iPhone, iPad, or other device that is capable of utilizing Apple Cash and Apple Pay which has a version of operating software that supports the Services, and has internet access (an “Eligible Device”); (ii) have an Apple Account that is in good standing with Apple, as well as a valid email address associated with your Apple Account; and (iii) provide information requested by Bank from time to time. If your access to or use of the Services is prohibited by applicable law, you are not authorized to access or use the Services. We are not responsible if you access or use the Services in any manner that violates applicable law.
- Use with Eligible Devices and Apple Pay. You must have Apple Pay enabled on an Eligible Device in order to access the Services, and your use of Apple Pay and other Apple services is subject to the terms, conditions, and other requirements that Apple may establish from time to time.
- Use of the Services Across Eligible Devices. Your Apple Cash Account will be associated with your Apple Account. Therefore, you may access your Apple Cash Account and use the Services with all Eligible Devices associated with your Apple Account. Some features of the Services may not be available on certain Eligible Devices, such as Apple Watch and Vision Pro. You acknowledge that these Terms will govern the use of the Services across all your Eligible Devices and that you will only be presented with these Terms at the time you initially create your Apple Cash Account.
- Registering your Apple Cash Account with Bank. As provided in Section 2 below entitled “Required Personal Information”, we may require you to provide certain identifying information so that we can verify your identity. You must verify your identity to be eligible for FDIC insurance or to use certain functions or features of the Services. For example, until we verify your identity, you may not contact Bank’s customer service to discuss your Apple Cash Account, receive an Externally-Initiated Funding Transaction, transfer funds between Savings and your Apple Cash Account, send or receive more than $500 in a P2P Transfer, receive a P2P Transfer if you have already received a P2P Transfer or added funds to your Apple Cash Balance with a Supported Payment Card, reload your Apple Cash Balance with a Supported Payment Card, establish a Family Account, or make purchases outside the U.S. If we verify your identity, your Apple Cash Account and, as a result, your Apple Cash Balance, will be registered to you.
- Protect your Apple Cash Account Information, Credentials, and Eligible Devices like you Would Protect Cash. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Eligible Devices and their authentication credentials, including your Apple Account password, Touch ID or Face ID information, and the passcode to your Eligible Device(s) (collectively, your “Credentials”). If you provide the passcode to your Eligible Device, allow a third party to gain access to your passcode, allow a third party to utilize Touch ID or Face ID on your Eligible Device, or otherwise provide any of your Credentials to a third party, you are authorizing that person to access and use your Eligible Device, including the Services, on your behalf. This means that person may be able to make payments with your Apple Cash Card and send your money through the Funds Transfer Service to another User or a bank account, and you will be responsible for all transactions on your Apple Cash Account made by that person.
- Your Right to Suspend or Close your Apple Cash Account. You may turn off your Apple Cash Account from any Eligible Device you have associated with your Apple Cash Account. If you turn off your Apple Cash Account from an Eligible Device, your Apple Cash Account will not be closed and any funds in your Apple Cash Balance will remain in your Apple Cash Balance, but your Apple Cash Account will cease to be active and available on that particular Eligible Device.
- Bank’s Right to Suspend or Terminate your Use of the Services. We reserve the right to limit, suspend, or terminate your use of the Services or take other account-level or transaction-level actions, as well as suspending or closing your Apple Cash Account, immediately and without prior notice to you for any reason, including, without limitation: (i) to protect the security and integrity of the Services, your Apple Cash Account or Apple Cash Balance, or other Users and their accounts; (ii) the inability to debit or collect funds from any account you designate in connection with the Services; (iii) if you breach these Terms or any other agreement with us regarding the Services, including, without limitation, by using the Services for any unlawful purposes; (iv) we have reason to believe there has been or may be an unauthorized use of your Apple Cash Account; (v) we are unable to verify your identity or authority to use the Services to our satisfaction; (vi) your Apple Cash Account is not in good standing; (vii) we believe that your use of the Services could expose us, Apple, or other persons involved in providing the Services to increased risk or be placed in a false or derogatory light; (viii) your Apple Account is suspended or terminated for any reason or ceases to be in good standing with Apple; (ix) we have reason to believe that you are using the Services to facilitate, encourage, or promote illegal activity, hate, violence, intolerance, fraud, or otherwise objectionable content or activities; or (x) we believe your use of the Services does not comply with applicable law. Our election to exercise the foregoing right to suspend or terminate your access to and use of the Services is in addition to any other right or remedy that we may have under these Terms or otherwise. Our decisions may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to our operation of the Services, management of risk, and protection of Bank and other Users. We may use proprietary fraud and risk modeling when assessing the risk associated with your use of the Services. You understand and agree that such action is reasonable for us to take in order to protect us from loss and ensure the security of the Services. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to grant or deny reinstatement of your use of the Services.
- If Your Apple Cash Account Becomes Inactive. We may transfer, also known as escheat, funds in your Apple Cash Balance to the appropriate state if no activity occurs on your Apple Cash Account or if you fail to communicate with us regarding your Apple Cash Account within the time period specified by state law. We may consider your Apple Cash Account inactive even if you maintain another active account with us. If funds are transferred to a state, you may file a claim with the state to recover the funds.
- Bank’s Roles in Providing the Services. In providing the Services, Bank is operating in various capacities: (i) as the person (the “Program Manager”) responsible for (a) providing the Apple Cash Balances that receive and hold Users’ funds that are accessible by the Apple Cash Card, (b) providing the Funds Transfer Service, including P2P Transfers, and (c) selecting the parties that provide all other aspects of the Services; (ii) as the bank responsible for issuing the Apple Cash Card (the “Issuer”); and (iii) as the federally insured depository institution where funds in your Apple Cash Balance are placed (the “Depository”). As the Program Manager, Bank has the authority, on Users’ behalf, to determine which financial institution shall serve as the Issuer and to place Users’ funds into, and withdraw User funds from, the Depository. While Bank is initially serving as the Program Manager, Issuer, and Depository, we may assign any or all of these roles, in whole or in part, to one or more third parties without restriction and without your prior consent.
- REQUIRED PERSONAL INFORMATION
- THE APPLE CASH CARD AND APPLE CASH BALANCE
- Generally. The Apple Cash Card is a virtual payment card that accesses funds in your Apple Cash Balance. You will not be issued a physical card. Rather, your Apple Cash Card will be provisioned to your Eligible Devices that are associated with your Apple Account and that you have enabled to access your Apple Cash Account. You will be issued a virtual card number. The Apple Cash Card is issued on a payment network. You can find your virtual card number and information about the payment network for your Apple Cash Card from your Eligible Devices by viewing the card details portion of your Apple Cash Card. You may only use your Apple Cash Card at merchants that accept the payment network on which your Apple Cash Card is issued.
- Adding Funds to your Apple Cash Balance. Funds can be added to your Apple Cash Balance in the following ways: (i) by utilizing the Funds Transfer Service to add funds with a Supported Payment Card; (ii) by receiving a P2P Transfer from another User; and (iii) by receiving a Disbursement (as defined in Section 6(B) below). The funds you receive in a P2P Transfer from another User will be automatically credited to your Apple Cash Balance and therefore accessible through your Apple Cash Card, unless you have disabled the ability to automatically receive P2P Transfers, in which case the funds will only be credited to your Apple Cash Balance if you accept the P2P Transfer within seven days. In addition, when we may make it available to you, you may be able to initiate a transfer of funds via a merchant, another financial institution, or other third party to your Apple Cash Balance (an “Externally-Initiated Funding Transaction”). We reserve the right to accept or reject any request to add funds to your Apple Cash Balance at our sole discretion. Please see Section 5(E) below entitled “Using a Family Account; Limits” for information on additional limitations that apply to the use of Family Accounts.
- Auto Reload. You have the option to automatically add funds to your Apple Cash Balance with a Supported Payment Card whenever your Apple Cash Balance falls below a minimum balance that you select (“Auto Reload”). If you enable Auto Reload, you authorize and instruct us to debit your designated Supported Payment Card in the amount you specify whenever your Apple Cash Balance falls below the minimum balance that you have designated. If an Auto Reload occurs but is not sufficient to bring your Apple Cash Balance above the minimum balance that you selected, then multiple Auto Reloads may occur.
- Transactions with your Apple Cash Card; Receipts. Each time you use your Apple Cash Card to purchase goods or services or use the Direct Payments Service, you authorize us to debit the total amount of your purchase or payment from your Apple Cash Balance. You must keep enough money in your Apple Cash Balance to pay for each transaction with your Apple Cash Card. Except for P2P Transfers that are separately funded, either partially or fully, with a Supported Payment Card (which are described in more detail in Section 4(B) below entitled “P2P Transfers”), we will generally decline a transaction if you have insufficient or unavailable funds in your Apple Cash Balance to cover the transaction, including applicable fees, if any, at the time the transaction is authorized. Nevertheless, if we authorize a transaction that exceeds the balance of available funds in your Apple Cash Balance, you are responsible for any amount that is charged in excess of your balance. If you have a negative balance in your Apple Cash Balance, we may deduct the negative balance amount from a P2P Transfer or Disbursement that you receive or from any other Apple Cash Balance and Apple Cash Account you register with us. If you have a negative balance in your Apple Cash Balance, we may also require you to load funds with a Supported Payment Card before you can perform additional transactions with your Apple Cash Account. You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction using your Apple Cash Card. However, you may not get a receipt for some small transactions.
- Foreign Transactions. Once you have registered your Apple Cash Account, and as a result, your Apple Cash Balance, you may use your Apple Cash Card for transactions outside the U.S. at eligible merchant locations that accept the payment network on which your Apple Cash Card is issued (please see Section 1(F) above entitled “Registering your Apple Cash Account with Bank” for more information on this process). If you conduct a purchase transaction in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the merchant, the payment network for the Apple Cash Card, or other association that processes that transaction may convert any related debit or credit into U.S. dollars in accordance with their then current policies. For example, the conversion rate may be either: (i) selected from a range of rates available in the currency markets (which may be different from the rate the merchant, the payment network for the Apple Cash Card, or other association involved in processing your transaction is actually charged); or (ii) a government-mandated rate. The conversion rate may be different from the rate in effect on the date of your transaction and the date it is posted to your Apple Cash Card.
- Returns. Because you will not be issued a physical card for your Apple Cash Card, you may need to present the Eligible Device that you used for a purchase to a merchant when you return an item purchased with your Apple Cash Card.
- Holds for Preauthorized Transactions. When you use your Apple Cash Card to pay for goods or services, certain merchants may ask us to preauthorize the transaction in advance and may estimate the final purchase amount. When we preauthorize the transaction, we will place a “hold” on your funds for the amount indicated by the merchant. We also may add an amount for certain merchants to ensure that sufficient funds will be available to cover the final transaction amount (such as to cover a tip at a restaurant). Transactions at certain merchants that preauthorize high dollar amounts, such as rental car companies and hotels, may cause a “hold” on your available balance for up to 90 days. You will not be able to use the money on your Apple Cash Card that is “on hold.” We will release any remaining amount when the transaction finally settles or the hold period expires.
- Assigned PIN. You will not be required to select a personal identification number (“PIN”) for use in connection with your Apple Cash Card. If a payment terminal requires you to enter a PIN to complete a transaction with your Apple Cash Card, you should enter “0000” as your PIN.
- No Overdraft. Your Apple Cash Card is not a credit card and does not provide overdraft or any line of credit.
- FUNDS TRANSFER SERVICE
- Generally. The Funds Transfer Service allows you to: (i) send P2P Transfers to other Users using the funds in your Apple Cash Balance as well as, in certain circumstances described below, by using a Supported Payment Card; (ii) load funds to your Apple Cash Balance using a Supported Payment Card; and (iii) initiate Bank Transfers to move money from your Apple Cash Balance to your designated bank account(s).
- P2P Transfers. P2P Transfers allow you to transfer money to another User from different sources. The default funding source for P2P Transfers is your Apple Cash Balance. However, if you do not maintain a sufficient balance in your Apple Cash Balance to send a P2P Transfer in the amount you have entered, we will use the balance you have in your Apple Cash Balance and then you must fund the remaining portion of your P2P Transfer with a Supported Payment Card that you select. If you do not have any balance in your Apple Cash Balance, you must fund your entire P2P Transfer with a Supported Payment Card that you select. There are no fees for funding a P2P Transfer with a Supported Payment Card. Please note that the issuer of your Supported Payment Card may separately charge fees if your P2P Transfer is funded (either in whole or in part) with a Supported Payment Card.
- Recurring Payments. You may set up recurring P2P Transfers at intervals of your choosing (each such transfer, a “Recurring Payment”). If you set up a Recurring Payment, you authorize and instruct us to debit your Apple Cash Balance or Supported Payment Card (as applicable) in the amount you instruct for each Recurring Payment and on the periodic interval you instruct (e.g., weekly, monthly).
- Unauthorized Transactions and Errors Related to Loads and P2P Transfers Funded with a Supported Payment Card. Funds loaded to your Apple Cash Balance with a Supported Payment Card and the portion of a P2P Transfer that you fund with a Supported Payment Card do not involve the withdrawal of funds from your Apple Cash Balance or your Apple Cash Card and therefore are not subject to the additional protections for unauthorized transfers or other withdrawals of funds described in Section 9(A) below entitled “In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Registered Apple Cash Balance” and Section 9(B) below entitled “Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers”. You can contact the issuer of your Supported Payment Card if you think an error or unauthorized transaction has occurred in connection with such a load or P2P Transfer. You also should telephone us at (877) 233-8552 or write us at Apple Cash Customer Service, P.O. Box 9, West Chester, OH 45071 as soon as you can if you think an error has occurred in connection with such a load or P2P Transfer or if such a load or P2P Transfer was unauthorized so that we may assist.
- Bank Transfers. Distinct from P2P Transfers, the Funds Transfer Service also supports two types of Bank Transfers that involve: (i) a transfer from your Apple Cash Balance that uses the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) system to transfer funds to your designated bank account, which usually takes 1 to 3 business days (an “ACH Transfer”); and (ii) a transfer from your Apple Cash Balance to an account that is associated with an eligible Supported Payment Card of a participating payment network that accepts such transfers in connection with the Services (each such card, an “Eligible Debit Card”, and such type of Bank Transfer, an “Instant Transfer”).
- Additional Terms and Conditions for Using the Funds Transfer Service. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as otherwise required by applicable law, transactions authorized in connection with the Funds Transfer Service, including P2P Transfers, are non-refundable. We are not responsible for any loss of funds if you authorize and instruct us to send funds to the wrong User, account, or other designated recipient. Without limiting any other provisions of these Terms or our rights or remedies under applicable law, if you charge back or reverse a P2P Transfer funded with a Supported Payment Card (either in whole or in part) with the issuer of such Supported Payment Card, we may permanently restrict your Apple Cash Account. When your Apple Cash Account is permanently restricted, your Apple Cash Balance may only be spent at merchants or transferred to your designated bank account using an ACH Transfer, and money may not be added to your Apple Cash Balance.
- APPLE CASH FAMILY
-
Generally. Apple Cash Family is a feature that allows a User who is the organizer of an iCloud Family (as defined below) (each, an “Organizer”) to enable eligible members of their iCloud Family to use the Services by establishing a Family Account for them, subject to the limitations and requirements set forth in these Terms. For purposes of these Terms:
- “Family Account” means an Apple Cash Account that is a sub-account of the Organizer’s Primary Apple Cash Account and is associated with a particular Family User.
- “Family User” means an eligible member of an Organizer’s iCloud Family for whom a Family Account is established by the Organizer.
- “Primary Apple Cash Account” means the Apple Cash Account associated with the Organizer’s use of the Services and not any Family User’s use of the Services.
- “iCloud Family” means the group established by the Organizer for Family Sharing.
- “Family Sharing” means the feature of the operating software on Eligible Devices that allows members of an iCloud Family to share certain services and features.
- “Parent” means an adult member of an iCloud Family that the Organizer has designated as a parent or guardian.
- Your Liability for Family Accounts. You are the owner of each Family Account you establish. Except as specifically set forth in these Terms, if you establish a Family Account, references to your use of the Services in these Terms include any use of the Services by a Family User. For example, except as otherwise provided in these Terms, references to your “Apple Cash Account”, “Apple Cash Card”, and “Apple Cash Balance” in these Terms include any Apple Cash Accounts, Apple Cash Cards, and Apple Cash Balances, as applicable, associated with the Family Accounts you establish.
- Number of Family Accounts. The maximum number of Family Accounts that you are permitted to establish is five. We may, in our sole discretion and at any time, further limit the number of Family Accounts that may be established or maintained in connection with your Primary Apple Cash Account.
- Eligibility. In addition to the eligibility requirements to use the Services set forth in these Terms, in order to establish and maintain a Family Account: (i) your Primary Apple Cash Account must be registered with us and in good standing; (ii) you must be the Organizer of your iCloud Family; and (iii) your Eligible Device must have a version of operating software that supports Apple Cash Family. Each Family Account may only be associated with one Family User, and each Family User must: (i) have a physical residential address in the U.S.; (ii) be a member of the Organizer’s iCloud Family; (iii) be under the age of 18 at the time the Family Account is established; (iv) have an Eligible Device that has a version of operating software that supports Apple Cash Family; and (v) have an Apple Account that is in good standing with Apple and has enabled security features that Apple requires to access or use Apple Cash Family.
- Using a Family Account; Limits. If you establish a Family Account for a Family User, the Family User will be able to use the Services with all of their Eligible Devices that are associated with their Apple Account and enabled to access the Services, subject to the applicable limitations and requirements set forth in these Terms. However: (i) Family Accounts may not make Direct Payments (as defined below); and (ii) if a Family User is under the age of 13, they will not be able to load funds to their Apple Cash Balance or fund P2P Transfers with a Supported Payment Card or request an Instant Transfer, enable Auto Reload, or schedule a Recurring Payment. Please see Section 6 below entitled “Third-Party Services” for more information on Direct Payments.
- Family Account Information and Transaction History. Family Users can view their Apple Cash Balance and obtain information about their Family Account and transactions at any time and at no cost directly from their Eligible Devices. You can also view the balance available on an Apple Cash Card associated with a Family Account at any time and at no cost by: (i) accessing your Apple Cash Account information on your Eligible Device; or (ii) calling (877) 233-8552.
- Graduated Accounts. Once a Family User is 18 years of age or older, and provided that your Apple Cash Account and the Family User’s Family Account are in good standing, the Family User may request to take ownership of their Family Account and graduate it to a standalone Apple Cash Account established in their name. A Family Account that subsequently graduates to a standalone Apple Cash Account is referred to as a “Graduated Account”, and the point in time at which an Apple Cash Account ceases to be a Family Account and becomes a Graduated Account is called “Graduation”.
- Support. You are the only individual that can communicate with us about a Family Account. Neither a Family User nor any other individuals (including a Parent in your iCloud Family) will be able to do so. If a Family Account you established subsequently becomes a Graduated Account, you will not be able to communicate with us about the Graduated Account. Please see Section 5(G) above entitled “Graduated Accounts” for more information on Graduated Accounts.
- Disputes and Error Resolution for Apple Cash Family. You are the only individual that can dispute transactions or allege that an error has occurred in connection with a Family Account you establish. Neither a Family User nor any other individuals (including a Parent in your iCloud Family) will be able to do so. Please see Section 4(D) above entitled “Unauthorized Transactions and Errors Related to Loads and P2P Transfers Funded with a Supported Payment Card” and Section 9(A) below entitled “In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Registered Apple Cash Balance” to learn more about the process for notifying us if you think an error has occurred in connection with a Family Account.
- Locking a Family Account. You may lock a Family Account from your Eligible Device(s) at any time. If you lock a Family Account, that Family Account will not be closed and any funds in the associated Apple Cash Balance accessible via the relevant Apple Cash Card will remain, but the Family User’s Family Account will cease to be active and available on any of their Eligible Devices. If you subsequently reinstate that Family Account, that Family Account will become active again and any funds in the associated Apple Cash Balance will be available for transactions.
- Closing a Family Account. You may close a Family Account by calling (877) 233-8552 and satisfying other conditions that we may establish from time to time. For example, you may not be able to close a Family Account if it is not in good standing. If you close a Family Account, any funds in the Apple Cash Balance associated with the Family Account will be transferred to the Apple Cash Balance associated with your Primary Apple Cash Account. If you close a Family Account and any funds in the associated Apple Cash Balance cannot be transferred to the Apple Cash Balance associated with your Primary Apple Cash Account for any reason, then we may send you a check for the amount of any funds remaining in the Apple Cash Balance associated with the Family Account.
- THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
- Generally. Certain features supported by Apple Cash may be provided by Apple Payments or other third parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, we do not control, and are not responsible or liable to you for, such features or any other third-party products, services, or applications (collectively, “Third-Party Services”) or any providers of Third-Party Services. Separate terms and conditions may apply to Third-Party Services. You should read those terms and conditions carefully before accessing or using any Third-Party Services. You should address all disputes related to Third-Party Services with the applicable third party that provides the Third-Party Services.
- Disbursements. Certain eligible businesses may allow you to authorize them to disburse funds to your Apple Cash Balance (each, a “Disbursement”). While Disbursements may be processed by Apple Payments, they are offered by the participating businesses that provide such funds and may be subject to certain additional terms and conditions of the disbursing businesses, which may change at any time without notice to you. We will not be liable for any loss or damage that may result from any interaction between you and a business with respect to Disbursements.
- Direct Payments Service. You may use funds in your Apple Cash Balance to make payments to certain eligible businesses that you authorize (each, a “Direct Payment”, and such service, the “Direct Payments Service”), except as specified in Section 5(E) above entitled “Using a Family Account; Limits”. The Direct Payments Service is a service offered by Apple Payments, and your use of the Direct Payments Service is subject to Apple Payments’ Direct Payments Terms and Conditions, which are available at applepayments.apple.com. We are not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of goods or services that are paid for using the Direct Payments Service.
- Merchant Offers. Merchants may present certain discounts, rebates, or other benefits to you (e.g., free shipping, discounts, etc.) (“Offers”) for the use of your Apple Cash Card, Apple Pay, or otherwise. Such Offers may be subject to certain terms and conditions, which may change at any time without notice to you. We will not be liable for any loss or damage that may result from any interaction between you and a merchant with respect to such Offers.
- Savings in Wallet. If you have a savings account available through Apple Card (“Savings”), by going to Savings in Wallet you may authorize the financial institution that provides Savings (“Savings Bank”) to initiate a transfer of funds between Savings and your Apple Cash Balance, subject to the limits specified in Section 7(B) below entitled “Transaction and Apple Cash Account Limits” and any limits that otherwise apply to Savings.

Box 9, West Chester, OH 45071 as soon as you can if you think an error has occurred in connection with your registered Apple Cash Balance (including any Apple Cash Balances associated with Family Accounts you have established).

Reporting such loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized access by calling us at (877) 233-8552 is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Apple Cash Balance. If you tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Eligible Device, the compromise of your Credentials, or the unauthorized access of your Apple Cash Account, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your registered Apple Cash Balance without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Eligible Device, the compromise of your Credentials, or the unauthorized access of your Apple Cash Balance or Apple Cash Account, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your registered Apple Cash Balance without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance: (i) if, through no fault of ours, your Apple Cash Balance funds are insufficient for the transaction or are unavailable for withdrawal (for example, because they have not been finally collected or are subject to legal process); (ii) if a computer system or POS terminal was not working properly and you knew about the problem when you started the transaction; (iii) if a merchant refuses to honor your Apple Cash Card; (iv) if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, terrorist attack, pandemic or national emergency) prevent the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; (v) if you attempt to use your Apple Cash Account that has not been verified once identity verification is required; (vi) if your Eligible Device has been reported as lost or stolen, if your Credentials or Apple Cash Account have been compromised, if your Apple Cash Account has been suspended by us, if we have limited or revoked your Apple Cash Account privileges, or if we have reason to believe the transaction is not authorized by you; or (vii) as otherwise provided in these Terms.
- Preauthorized Payments and your Right to Stop Preauthorized Payments. If you have arranged to have a preauthorized payment made to your Apple Cash Balance at least once every 60 days from the same person, the person making the payment should tell you every time they send the payment.

Your requested Payments may be declined if you do not have sufficient funds available in your Payment Account to satisfy the requested Payment.
When you use the Direct Payments Service, your Payment will be made through an electronic funds transfer. We will generally withdraw the funds from your Payment Account and electronically transmit those funds to the business on the same day as your request.
You may access the Direct Payments Service with all of the Eligible Devices that are associated with your Apple ID.

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules”) in effect on the date the arbitration is filed, and will be governed by the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness (the “JAMS Minimum Consumer Standards”).Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrator can award any damages or relief on your individual claim that a court of law could, including individual injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees when available under the governing law. The arbitrator will also be empowered to determine the arbitrability of any Claim. Any Claim will be decided by an arbitrator, rather than by a judge or jury, and an arbitration award will be final and binding on you and Apple Payments, without any right of appeal. Court review of an arbitration award will be very limited.With the exception of Section C below, you and Apple Payments hereby waive the right to assert any Claim in any court.As set out in Section D below, all arbitrations will be conducted on an individual basis, and there shall be no class or collective actions in arbitration.
B. Other Claims Subject to Arbitration.
In addition to Claims brought by either you or Apple Payments, Claims made by or against an employee, agent, representative, affiliated company, or subsidiary of Apple Payments will be subject to arbitration as described herein.
C. Exceptions.
We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate any individual Claim you bring in small claims court or an equivalent court with jurisdiction, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. This arbitration provision does not limit or constrain Apple Payments’ right to interplead funds in the event of claims to funds associated with your Payment Account by several parties.
D. Individual Claims Only.
Claims may be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Claims subject to this arbitration provision may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with any Claim of any other person or be arbitrated on a class basis, in a representative capacity, on behalf of the general public, or on behalf of any other person, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. You acknowledge and agree that you are waiving any ability to join or consolidate your Claim in arbitration with the Claim of any other person and to bring any Claim on a class basis, in a representative capacity, on behalf of the general public, or on behalf of any other person. Further, unless you and Apple Payments both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate your Claim with that of any other person, and may award relief only in favor of your individual Claim. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against any other party, whether directly or indirectly. If a court of competent jurisdiction deems this paragraph to be unenforceable with respect to any Claim, then the entirety of the Arbitration Notice (the “Notice”) will be deemed void with respect to such Claim. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Notice will survive any termination of these Direct Payments Terms. Related Apple Cash Accounts are considered as one person, and Apple Payments, its employees, officers, directors, agents, and affiliates are considered as one person. The arbitrator will be competent to determine the arbitrability of any Claim that is attempted to be joined or consolidated in arbitration with the Claim of any other person or brought on a class basis, in a representative capacity, on behalf of the general public, or on behalf of any other person.
E. Arbitration Fees.
If you initiate arbitration, Apple Payments will advance any arbitration fees, including any required deposit. Apple Payments will also be responsible for payment and/or reimbursement of any arbitration fees which exceed either (1) the amount of filing fees you would have incurred if your Claim had been brought in the state or federal court nearest your residence with jurisdiction, or (2) US$ 250, whichever is lesser. If Apple Payments initiates or elects arbitration, Apple Payments will pay the entire amount of the arbitration fees, including any required deposit. Regardless of who initiates arbitration, Apple Payments will pay all other arbitration-related costs, including any remaining JAMS Case Management Fee and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services.
F. Arbitration Procedure.
A single arbitrator will resolve the Claims. The place of arbitration will be the State in which you are a legal resident. You have the right to an in-person arbitration hearing for your Claim should you so choose. Any such hearing will take place within the federal judicial district in which you live, or in a reasonably convenient location as agreed by the parties. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney with at least ten years of experience and will be selected by the parties; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules.The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity, but may not grant any form of relief identified in Section D above without the express written consent of both parties. Discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be allowed, keeping in mind the reasonable need for the requested information, the availability of other discovery options, and the burdensomeness of the request on the opposing party. The arbitrator’s award will address all claims properly brought before the arbitrator and will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the FAA. You may obtain copies of the current JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules, forms, and instructions for initiating an arbitration with JAMS by contacting JAMS online at www.jamsadr.com. Where there is a conflict or inconsistency between the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures and this arbitration provision, this arbitration provision will govern.
G. Confidentiality.
You and Apple Payments agree that any arbitration proceedings initiated hereunder shall be kept in strict confidence, meaning that you and Apple Payments agree not to disclose or cause to be disclosed to any third party the dispute(s) to be arbitrated hereunder, or any of the underlying facts, circumstances, documents, and other materials relating to such dispute(s), except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law.H. Severability.
Except as provided in Section D, any provision of this Notice deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction may be severed, and the remainder of the Notice shall be given full force and effect.
