Apple Pay Terms and Conditions

Solutions Credit Union Terms of Use

These Terms of Use apply when you choose to add and use an eligible Solutions Credit Union debit (“Card”) within Apple Pay.  In these Terms, “you” and “your” refer to the cardholder of the Card.  “We,” “us,” “our” and “Solutions Credit Union” refer to Solutions Credit Union, the issuer of the Card.  

 

Solutions Credit Union and Apple Pay.  Solutions Credit Union and its affiliates do not own or operate Apple Pay and are not responsible for any information or services provided by Apple, your wireless service provider, or any other third parties associated with Apple Pay.  We are only responsible for providing information to Apple in order to allow you to add and use your Card in Apple Pay.  We are not responsible for any failure of or inability to use Apple Pay for any transaction.  We are not responsible for the performance or non-performance of Apple or any other third parties regarding any agreement you enter into with them that impact your use of Apple Pay.

Card or Underlying Account Terms.  The terms and conditions applicable to your Card or the underlying account do not change as a result of adding or using your Card within Apple Pay.  Apple Pay is just another way you can use your Card to make purchases of goods and services at locations that accept Apple Pay.  Apple Pay may not be accepted at all places where your Card is accepted.  Any applicable interest, fees and other charges that apply to your Card or the underlying account will also apply when you use your Card within Apple Pay to make purchases.  

Notice regarding arbitration.  The agreement governing your Card or the underlying account contains an Arbitration Provision section which applies to claims arising from your use of your Card.   That provision also applies to any disputes between you and Solutions Credit Union arising from your use of your Card within Apple Pay.

Eligibility.  You are only able to use a Card on an eligible mobile device.  An “eligible mobile device” is a mobile device in which Apple makes Apple Pay available for use and that has not been modified contrary to the device manufacturer’s guidelines, including but not limited to disabling hardware or software controls.  If we have indicated that the Card you wish to add to Apple Pay can be added, then for you to use the Card within Apple Pay the Card or the underlying account must also be in good standing and you must not otherwise be restricted from using Apple Pay based on any limitations imposed by Apple, your wireless service provider, and/or any third party associated with Apple Pay.

Use of Your Card.  Apple Pay enables you to use your Card and an eligible mobile device to make purchases of goods and services using near field communication technology.  When you register your Card in Apple Pay, your Card information is converted to a device-only account number and stored on your eligible mobile device.  The device-only account number may be used to pay for goods and services at participating merchants’ contactless-enabled point-of-sale terminals or readers that accept contactless payments.  By selecting your Card within Apple Pay, following the instructions provided by Apple Pay, and placing your eligible mobile device near a merchant’s contactless-enabled point-of-sale terminal or reader, you are authorizing payment from your Card for the purchase of goods or services.

All purchases made using your Card in Apple Pay, including the delivery of such goods and services, returns, and warranties, are solely between you and the applicable merchant.  You acknowledge that Solutions Credit Union does not endorse or warrant any merchants that are accessible using Apple Pay and we are not responsible for or liable for any loss or damage as a result of any interaction between you and a merchant.

Lost or Stolen.  If your eligible mobile device is lost or stolen, your Apple Pay authentication (e.g., fingerprint or similar authentication method, or PIN) is compromised, or if your Card has been used without your permission, you must notify us immediately.  If you fail to notify us immediately, you may be liable for part or all of the losses in connection with any unauthorized use of your Card in Apple Pay.

Offers.  Third parties, such as merchants, may present you certain discounts, rebates or other benefits in Apple Pay.  You acknowledge and agree that Solutions Credit Union does not endorse or warrant any of these offers and we are not responsible for or liable for any loss or damage as a result of your acceptance or use of an offer.

Fees.  Solutions Credit Union does not currently impose a fee for using your Card in Apple Pay.  However, Apple Pay or your wireless service provider may impose certain charges or other fees for use of Apple Pay. 

Consent.  You consent to receive electronic communications and disclosures from us in connection with your Card and its use in Apple Pay.  You agree that by providing telephone number(s), email addresses and other contact information to us now or at any later time, you authorize Solutions Credit Union to contact you using such information regarding any of your Solutions Credit Union accounts.  You also consent to Solutions Credit Union using any means to call you at any telephone number(s) provided, including by (i) placing calls using an automated dialing system to a cell, VoIP or other wireless phone number and (ii) sending prerecorded messages or text messages to those numbers, even if you may be charged for the calls or text messages.  You also consent to Solutions Credit Union monitoring or recording any phone call with you; contacting you by email or any other form of electronic communication and/or by fax in accordance with applicable law; and using third parties to contact you by phone, email, other electronic communication or by fax to the same extent as though Solutions Credit Union were making those contacts itself.  If at any time you revoke this consent, we may suspend or cancel your ability to use your Card in Apple Pay.  

You acknowledge and agree that we may contact your wireless service provider and authorize your wireless service provider to disclose certain information about your wireless account, including but not limited to, your eligible mobile device phone number, IP address, name, address, and device data, in order to allow us to verify your identity and validate the information you provide to us.
