The Laybuy Card is a Tokenised Card which provides You with the means to make purchases using the Available Balance of Your Laybuy Account wherever Mastercard is accepted for electronic payment, subject to Laybuy’s purchase approval criteria and the Laybuy BNPL Terms.

Your Laybuy Card is only valid during the period stated on the card. You must not attempt to use Your Laybuy Card before or after this date, and you must destroy an expired card and not attempt to use Your Laybuy Card after this date.

There is no stored value on the Laybuy Card. Any transactions made by using the Laybuy Card are debited against the Available Balance of Your Laybuy Account.

The Laybuy Card is not a facility by which Laybuy takes deposits from You.

10.4 Using the Card

Upon approval by Laybuy on the opening of Your Laybuy Account and subsequent request for a Laybuy Card:

  • we will issue you a Laybuy Card to use with Your Laybuy Account; and
  • Your Laybuy Card will be ready for activation and use.

Subject to section 10.4(c), 10.4(d) and 10.7 "Limitations of Use of the Card", the Laybuy Card allows You to purchase goods and services:

  • at an outlet within Australia that has EFTPOS available by making a Contactless Transaction; and/or
  • over the internet solely via a Device Wallet;

regardless of whether the merchant is an Approved Merchant or not.

Any payments made using Your Laybuy Card at an Approved Merchant will be debited against Your Available Balance and Your repayments will be due in accordance with the BNPL Terms.

Any payments made using Your Laybuy Card at a merchant that is not an Approved Merchant will be immediately debited in full from, and subject to the available balance of, your Nominated Payment Method.

We are not responsible if a merchant refuses to accept Your Laybuy Card.

You agree not to make or attempt to make transactions on Your Laybuy Card that exceed the Available Balance. If there is no Available Balance on Your Laybuy Account, any attempted transactions with the Laybuy Card may be declined.

If You make or attempt to make any transactions that exceed the Available Balance then You:

  • will be liable for any Negative Balance if we allow it, along with any costs or interest we incur in recovering or attempting to recover from You the amount owing; and
  • must immediately to us any Negative Balance (along with the additional costs outlined above) immediately.

Laybuy may restrict or stop the use of the Laybuy Card if excessive uses of the Laybuy Card or other suspicious activities are noticed or are otherwise prohibited transactions under the Laybuy BNPL Terms.

Laybuy will not be liable to You or any other person for any loss or damage which You or such other person may suffer as a result of our action.

You should ensure that the correct amount is entered into the Contactless Terminal or on the online payment system, before you authorise the transaction.

By entering your PIN or authorising a payment, You are indicating your agreement that the transaction amount is correct - You cannot “stop a payment” on any transaction after it has been completed. As your instructions to us to debit your Laybuy Account and pay another person will be regarded as being final and irrecoverable once processed, You must contact the merchant with any disputes regarding incorrect charges. If You cannot resolve the dispute with the merchant, You should notify Laybuy in writing at help@laybuy.com in accordance with the Laybuy BNPL Terms.

If You are entitled to a refund for any reason relating to a transaction, You agree to accept the refund under the policy of that specific merchant. Refunds may be in the form of a credit to Your Laybuy Card or in store credit.

If we are unable to match the refund to the original transaction, we may hold this balance in suspense for you to allocate to the correct original transaction.

If the Laybuy Card is expired or revoked before You have spent any value loaded to the Laybuy Card resulting from a refund (whether or not the original transaction being refunded was made using the Laybuy Card) then You will have no access to those funds unless a replacement Laybuy Card has been issued to You.

We are not liable in any way when an authorisation is declined for any particular transaction regardless of reason.

You must not permit use of Your Laybuy Card by any other person. If the Laybuy Card is or was used by any other person, or if You know or suspect any other person has obtained Your Laybuy Card, You must immediately notify Laybuy at help@laybuy.com.

You may not make pre-authorised regular payments through the use of the Laybuy Card.

Your Laybuy Card may not be used for any direct or recurring debit payments.

Fees and Charges to be paid by the Cardholder relating to the use of the Card: N/A

For a full listing of fees and charges please refer to section Fees and Charges.

10.8 PIN and Pass codes

Your PIN has been provided to You in the Laybuy App (upon verification of registration). You must not disclose Your PIN to any other person. A Pass Code may be provided to Your registered Device to complete a transaction – this is often referred to as Two Factor Authentication. Where You are provided a Pass Code in these circumstances, You must not disclose that Pass Code to any other person.

10.9 Security

It is important to take all reasonable precautions to ensure that Your PIN, Pass Code and other access codes remain secure and confidential. Access codes should be memorised, and any correspondence notifying you of an access code must be destroyed. The precautions we require you to take in relation to your PIN, Pass Code and other access codes are set out below.

You must not:

  • tell anyone your PIN or Pass Code, including any friends, members of your family or your attorney; select a PIN and Pass Code that is comprised of repeated, ascending or descending numbers, or numbers that are associated with Your birth date, or an alphabetic code which is a recognisable part of Your name, or any other combination of numbers and letters readily identifiable with You;

  • give Your Laybuy Card to anyone else or let them use it; where a Device is required to perform a transaction, write or make a record of any PIN or Passcode on the device, or anything carried with the device or liable to loss or theft with the device, unless you make a reasonable attempt to protect the security of the access codes;

  • be careless about protecting the security of your PIN or Pass Code; carry the PIN or Device Pass Code with the Device, or record the PIN or Device Pass Code on anything carried with the Laybuy Card or liable to loss or theft simultaneously with a Device, unless You make a reasonable attempt to protect the security of the PIN or Device Pass Code; or voluntarily disclose the PIN, Device Pass Code or Pass Code to anyone, including a family member or friend.

  • You must not act with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of your PIN and Pass Code – for example, by storing Your PIN in a notebook that is not protected under the heading ‘PIN Code’.

10.10 Loss, Theft and Misuse of Cards or Devices

  • If You know or have reason to suspect that Your Device is lost, stolen or damaged, likely to be misused or You have reason to suspect that someone else may know the PIN, Identifiers or Pass Codes You must immediately notify Laybuy. We will then suspend Your Laybuy Card to restrict further use.

  • You may be required to confirm details of the loss, theft or misuse in writing (and to provide particular information in the confirmation) and You must comply with that requirement.

If we know or suspect that anyone else knows Your PIN, Identifiers or Pass Codes, we may place a stop on the relevant service. In that event, You can contact us for a new access code or PIN and to have the stop removed.

You must regularly check to make sure You still have your Laybuy Card.

Your PIN may be automatically de-activated after three unsuccessful attempts to enter Your PIN. If this happens, we can re-activate Your PIN, or send you a reminder of Your PIN, as long as your Laybuy Card is in Your possession.

10.11 Liability for Unauthorised Transactions

Your liability for losses arising from Unauthorised Transactions will be determined under the ePayments Code. Where You are not liable If transactions not authorised by You (Unauthorised Transactions) are processed on your Laybuy Account, You must inform us as soon as you become aware of these.

You will not be liable for transactions:

  • that You did not contribute to, or You were not aware of and could not have known about;

  • that are caused by fraudulent or negligent conduct by our employees or agents, a third party involved in networking arrangements, or a merchant or their employee or agent;

  • which relate to a Laybuy Card, Identifier or Pass Code which is forged, faulty, expired or cancelled; took place before You received the Laybuy Card and/or Pass Code (including a reissued Laybuy Card and/or Pass Code);

  • when they are caused by the same transaction being incorrectly debited more than once to Your Laybuy Card; or performed after You have informed us that Your Laybuy Card has been misused, lost or stolen, or the security of a Pass Code has been breached; or

  • which result from an Unauthorised Transaction that can be made using an identifier without the Laybuy Card or a PIN. Where a transaction can be made using the Laybuy Card, or a Laybuy Card and an identifier, but does not require a PIN, You are liable only if You unreasonably delay reporting the loss or theft of the Laybuy Card or a Device.

Where You are liable

You are liable for loss resulting from an Unauthorised Transaction if we can prove on the balance of probability that the loss resulted from You:

  • acting fraudulently; and
  • breaching section 10.9 and 10.10.

Your liability will extend to the total loss suffered before You report the loss, theft or misuse of a Laybuy Card or Device or breach of PIN or Pass Code security to us.

If we can prove that You contributed to losses incurred by unreasonably delaying reporting to us the misuse, loss or theft of a Laybuy Card or Device, or the breach of the security of Your PIN or Pass Code, You are liable for any Unauthorised Transactions occurring between when You became aware, or should have reasonably become aware of the misuse, loss, theft or breach, and when You actually notified us.

You will not be liable for any portion of the losses incurred:

  • on any one day in excess of any applicable daily transaction limit; and
  • in any period in excess of any applicable periodic transaction limit; and that exceed that Available Balance; and
  • if we and You had not agreed that the Available Balance could be accessed using the Laybuy Card or identifier and/or PIN used to perform the transaction.

Liability for unreasonably delaying notification

You will be liable for losses arising from an Unauthorised Transaction if we can prove on the balance of probability that You contributed to those losses by unreasonably delaying reporting the misuse, loss or theft of a Laybuy Card or Device, or that the security of all PINs has been breached.

In those circumstances, You are liable in full for the actual losses that occur between when You become aware of the security compromise, or should reasonably have become aware in the case of a lost or stolen Laybuy Card, but:

  • You are not liable for the portion of losses incurred on any one day in excess of any applicable daily transaction limit; and
  • You are not liable for the portion of losses incurred in any period in excess of any applicable periodic transaction limit; and
  • You are not liable for the portion of losses that exceeds the Available Balance; and
  • You are not liable for the portion of losses incurred if we and You had not agreed that the Available Balance could be accessed using the Laybuy Card or Identifier and/or PIN used to perform the transaction. When you will have limited liability

If a PIN was required to perform an Unauthorised Transaction not already covered above, You will be liable for the least of:

  • $150; or
  • the Available Balance; or
  • the actual loss at the time that the misuse, loss or theft of a Laybuy Card or breach of PIN security is reported to us, excluding that portion of the losses incurred on any one day which exceeds any relevant daily of other periodic transaction limit.

If You report an Unauthorised Transaction, we will not hold You liable for losses arising from the Unauthorised Transaction for an amount greater than Your liability if we exercised any rights under the rules of the Mastercard scheme, at the time of the report, against other parties to the Mastercard scheme (for example, chargeback rights).

Important Information about Chargebacks

In some circumstances, You may be able to request a chargeback of a transaction when You have a dispute with a merchant, such as the merchant’s failure to supply the goods or services You paid for.

A chargeback is a right under the Mastercard Scheme rules by which a transaction can effectively be reversed by us debiting an amount to the merchant’s financial institution and crediting back to Your Available Balance. We can only process chargebacks if the Mastercard Scheme Rules allow us to. If You believe that You are entitled to a chargeback, You must notify us as soon as possible by contacting Laybuy.

The Mastercard Scheme Rules impose time limits for initiating chargebacks. The time limit is generally 90 days from the date of the disputed transaction.

If You request a chargeback, we may need You to provide additional information. If we do ask You for additional information and You do not provide it within 10 days, then You may lose any rights to the chargeback and if it has already been processed, we may reverse it.

Please note that if we process a chargeback, the merchant may have rights under the Mastercard Scheme Rules to have the transaction investigated further, and this can in some circumstances result in the chargeback being reversed (which means the original transaction might be reinstated by being debited to Your Available Balance).

10.12 Statements

When you register for a Laybuy Account, you consent to us giving you notices, statements and other documents in connection with our dealings with You electronically (ie through the Laybuy App) and by email. You understand that by giving this consent:

  • we will no longer send you paper copies of notices and other documents;

We may issue You with a replacement Laybuy Card if requested by You at any time after expiry and provided You have registered Your details with us, including Your name and Australian address. We reserve the right not to issue a replacement Laybuy Card to You, in which case You will not be able to use the Laybuy Card as a means to access the Available Balance of Your Laybuy BNPL Product. In such circumstances, You should refer to the Laybuy BNPL Terms for information on how to access Your Available Balance.

10.14 Replacement Cards

You will need to register and activate the new Laybuy Card in accordance with section 10.4 and add Your Tokenised Card to Your Device Wallet.

10.15 Card Revocation and Cancellation

You may ask for the Laybuy Card to be cancelled at any time. If You ask for the Laybuy Card to be cancelled, You must not use the cancelled Laybuy Card thereafter.

  • we believe that it is required for security purposes; or
  • You breach any material term or conditions, including these Terms and Conditions or the Laybuy BNPL Terms; or - we suspect the Laybuy Card, or the Available Balance, has been used illegally.

10.16 Liabilities and Disclaimers

Subject to any warranties implied by law that cannot be excluded, we are not responsible for, or liable for loss, damage, or interruption arising out of:

  • if, through no fault of our own, the Available Balance is not enough to cover a transaction;
  • if, through no fault of our own, a terminal or system does not work properly;

However:

  • Your liability for Unauthorised Transactions will be determined according to the ePayments Code; and
  • we will not avoid any obligation to You under the ePayments Code on the basis that another party to a shared electronic payments network (to which we are also a party) has caused the failure to meet the obligation.

Our liability in any event shall not exceed the amount of the Available Balance except in relation to:

  • Unauthorised Transactions; and
  • consequential losses arising from a malfunction of a system or equipment provided by any party to a shared electronic network (unless You should reasonably have been aware that the system or equipment was unavailable or malfunctioning, in which case our liability is limited to correcting any errors and refunding any fees or charges imposed on You).

Laybuy does not make or give any express or implied warranty or representation in connection with the Laybuy Card (including quality or standard or fitness for any purpose), other than as set out in these Terms of Use and the Laybuy BNPL Terms or when the warranty or representation is imposed or required by law and cannot be excluded.

Any failure or delay enforcing a term of these Terms and Conditions or the Laybuy BNPL Terms does not mean a waiver of them.
