The Customer must give NAB all the information the Customer or any cardholder has about how the loss occurred. 11.2 Customer liability The Customer remains liable for any cash advance or purchase made by any other person before the Customer notifies NAB of the loss or theft up to a maximum of: (a) in relation to all the uses of the card through an extra facility (i) the amount determined under the Terms and Conditions for the extra facility (if any); (b) in relation to all other uses of the card (i) a total amount of $150. 11.3 Despite notifying NAB of an event described in 11.1, the Customer remains liable for any cash advance or purchase made by a cardholder or any person authorised by a cardholder. 12 Disputed transactions 12.1 A disputed transaction may include: (a) an unauthorised transaction a transaction which the Customer believes was not authorised by use of the card or account by a cardholder. This includes any unauthorised mail, telephone or Internet orders or any other unauthorised transaction on the account. (b) general dispute a transaction which the Customer wishes to dispute. This may include a transaction which has been processed to the account more than once, or a transaction which was authorised by the use of a card or account which the Customer now wishes to dispute. 28
Despite notifying NAB of a disputed transaction, the Customer remains liable for any cash advance or purchase made by a cardholder or any person authorised by a cardholder. 12.2 Notification procedure The Customer should immediately notify NAB of any disputed transaction. NAB recommends that the Customer promptly reads the statement of account. Use the telephone number printed on the statement of account to report the disputed transaction. The Customer must give NAB all the information the Customer or any cardholder has about how the disputed transaction occurred. NAB may require the Customer or cardholder to confirm details in writing. 12.3 Chargeback rights Each card scheme has a dispute resolution process that is contained in the operating rules of the credit card scheme. This process sets out specific circumstances and time frames in which a member of the scheme (eg a bank) can claim a refund in connection with a disputed transaction on a cardholder s behalf. This is referred to as a chargeback right. NAB s ability to investigate any disputed transaction on the account, and subsequently process a chargeback, is restricted by the time limits imposed under the operating rules of the applicable card scheme. 12.4 Time frames for notifying NAB The ability of NAB to dispute a transaction on the Customer s behalf (where a chargeback right exists) may be lost if the Customer does not notify NAB within the required time frames. For this reason, it is in the Customer s interest to report any disputed transaction to NAB immediately and certainly no later than the due date shown on the statement of account. 29
Where it can be shown that the Customer has unreasonably delayed notifying NAB, the Customer may be liable for the loss on any disputed transaction. 12.5 Time frames for NAB to process a chargeback right NAB will only process a chargeback for the Customer (where such a right exists) when the Customer has notified NAB of the disputed transaction within the required time frame, as described in 12.4. The time frames for NAB to process a chargeback (where a chargeback right exists) vary between 30 days and 180 days, depending on the applicable card scheme and the type of disputed transaction. NAB will not accept a refusal of a chargeback by a merchant s financial institution unless it is consistent with the applicable card scheme rules. 12.6 Electronic transactions If the epayments Code is applicable to a disputed transaction, the time frames as specified in 12.4 may not apply in certain circumstances. The procedures for resolving disputed electronic transactions are set out in the Terms and Conditions of the extra facility. NAB recommends that the Customer notifies NAB as soon as possible of any disputed transaction. 13 Government charges NAB may charge the Customer: (a) an amount equivalent to government charges and duties on receipts received or withdrawals made or otherwise in connection with the account, the amount of which is calculated in accordance with the applicable legislation; (b) where for GST purposes NAB makes a taxable supply to the Customer, in addition to any consideration payable by the Customer in relation to the taxable supply that is not expressly stated to be inclusive of GST 30
( GST-exclusive consideration ), an amount calculated by multiplying the GST-exclusive consideration by the prevailing GST rate. All such charges and duties will be debited to the account on the closing date for each statement period. 13 (a) applies regardless of whether the facility limit or the credit limit applicable to any card is exceeded or that any transaction on the account may have arisen as a result of the actions of any cardholder without the authority of the Customer, or whether the card has been used in breach of any Term or Condition applicable to this Facility (including the Conditions of Use), including without limitation, any refusal by any cardholder to return any card after being required to do so by NAB or the Customer. 14 NAB fees and charges (a) Details of any initial NAB fees and charges applicable to the Facility (including any fees and charges applicable to a card), shall be advised by NAB to the Customer at the commencement of the Facility. (b) NAB will be entitled to debit any such fees and charges to the account or Nominated Account (if applicable), at monthly intervals, or such other intervals as NAB may from time to time determine, and the Customer must pay such fees and charges in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. 15 Annual percentage rate (a) NAB may at any time vary the annual percentage rate, in accordance with 19 (including, without limitation, any applicable indicator rate or any other element of the annual percentage rate). (b) Where NAB makes a change to the annual percentage rate by changing the applicable indicator rate, any such change will apply to the Facility at the commencement of the statement period which follows the date notified as being the effective date of such revised indicator rate. 31
16 Cancellation of cards 16.1 Cancellation of a card by NAB (a) NAB may in its absolute discretion at any time without prior notice, cancel a card. (b) Upon receipt of advice of such cancellation, the Customer will use its best endeavours to cause the card to be returned to NAB at the earliest possible date. Before being returned, the card should be cut (including any chip on the card) diagonally in half. 16.2 Cancellation of a card Customer request The Customer can revoke the authority of a cardholder to operate the account if the Customer: (a) gives NAB a notice requesting the authority be revoked or otherwise advise NAB in a manner acceptable to NAB that the Customer wishes this to be done; and (b) takes all reasonable steps to return any current card to NAB or otherwise destroy the card by cutting (including any chip on the card) it diagonally in half. If the Customer requests NAB to revoke the authority of a cardholder, the Customer must immediately notify the cardholder of this request. 16.3 If the Customer makes a request to revoke the authority of a cardholder to operate the account in accordance with 16.2, the Customer is responsible for: (a) transactions generated by use of the cardholder s card until the Customer has made the request; and (b) transactions generated by use of the cardholder s card which are processed to the Customer s account after NAB receives the Customer s request. 32
17 Security Where NAB holds, or during the term of the Facility acquires, security of any description securing any other liabilities of the Customer to NAB, the Customer s liability under the Facility, will also form part of the monies secured by that security. 18 Termination (a) Termination of this agreement shall not prejudice the rights and remedies of NAB, including without limitation the right to recover from the Customer any monies owing or that may become owing to NAB under the Facility. In particular, the Customer will remain liable for all credit and interest charges or other charges including government fees, duties and charges until all monies owing or that may become owing to NAB under the Facility have been paid. (b) In the event of termination of this agreement for any reason whatsoever, all cards will be cancelled and the Customer will ensure that the cards so cancelled are returned to NAB immediately after being destroyed in the manner described in 16.1(b). Should any card so cancelled be used subsequent to cancellation, the Customer s liability in respect of such card will continue until return of the card to NAB. The outstanding balance on the account upon termination of this agreement shall be immediately due and payable to NAB together with all costs, charges and expenses relating to it.
