Effective 27 February 2024.
These terms and conditions set out the terms and conditions for your Mastercard®
Meal Voucher Card (“Card”). It’s important you read this document carefully.
The Card is issued by EML Payment Solutions Limited (‘EML’) ABN 30 131 436 532,
AFSL 404131 (“Issuer”). The Issuer can be contacted at Level 12, 333 Ann Street.
Brisbane City QLD 4000, and phone +61 7 3557 1100.
Mastercard Prepaid Management Services Australia Pty Ltd ABN 47 145 452 044
AFSL 386 837 is the card program manager of the Card and is responsible for
providing various cardholder services. Flight Disruptions Pty Ltd ABN 36 612 894 176
facilitates the management of the Card with the relevant airline. In these terms
and conditions any reference to ‘we’ or ‘us’ is a reference to the Issuer; ‘you’ are the
user of the Card.
Card balance, transaction history and important notices about your Card are
available at https://flightdisruptions.com/cashless-payment-cards/.
The Card is subject to expiry and you will not be able to access any
remaining Card balance after the expiry date.
1. You agree to these Terms and Conditions by signing the back of a Card, or using
a Card in any way including making a purchase using the Cards. The Card must
be signed. The Card remains our property. Once a Card has been signed neither
it, nor the contract between you and us is transferable by you. The .Card may
only be used by the person who has signed it. We may transfer this contract
to someone else. The Issuer does not need your consent to transfer its rights.
The Issuer will notify you in writing as soon as reasonably practicable if it is
reasonable to do so.
2. The Card can be loaded with a balance between AUD $0.01 and AUD $50 by
the relevant airline. No further reloads are permitted. The maximum amount
for point of sale purchases is up to the value of the Card for the period that the
Card is valid for.
3. The Card is subject to expiry within 24 hours. The Card is issued to you to cover
short term expenses in connection with a delayed or cancelled flight. You did
not contribute the funds on the Card and have no claim to any that have not
been used when the Card expires. On expiry of the Card, you will not be able
to access any funds that remain on the Card and those funds will be forfeited
by us to Flight Disruptions Pty Ltd for the purposes of protecting the Issuer’s
legitimate interests relating to the Flight Disruptions program.
The Card can be used for purchasing goods and services where Mastercard
cards are accepted for electronic transactions (excluding transactions at ATMs
or over the counter at financial institutions). The Card is not a credit card and
nor is it linked to a deposit account with us or any financial institution. Some
merchants may choose not to accept Mastercard Prepaid cards. Merchants
or other providers may impose limits on the use of your Card. We are not
responsible if a merchant refuses to accept a Card, except to the extent that
the liability is caused by our fraud, negligence or willful misconduct (including
that of our officers, employees, contractors or agents).
If you have a complaint or concern about goods or services purchased with your
Card, you must resolve this directly with the merchant. Any refunds on Card
transactions are subject to the policy of the specific merchant. Refunds may
be in the form of a credit to the Card, cash refund or in-store credit. The Card
is not a gift card and you do not load your own funds onto the Card. The Card
is issued to you for the limited purposes of assisting you to meet any urgent
expenses you incur during the course of a Flight Disruption event (that is, to
manage immediate hardship you may suffer in connection with a disruption to
your flight). This means that, if the Card expires or is revoked before you have
spent any funds resulting from a refund (whether or not the original transaction
was made using the Card) then you will have no access to those funds.
4. The Card cannot be used to obtain or redeem cash (for example at ATMs or
over the counter at financial institutions) and cannot be used for making direct
debit, recurring or regular instalment payments. Authorisations may be declined
at some merchants (such as gambling merchants or merchants who choose not
to accept the Card). We are not liable in any way when authorisation is declined
for any particular transaction except to the extent that the liability is caused
by our fraud, negligence or willful misconduct (including that of our officers,
employees, contractors or agents).
5. When using the Card with some merchants (such as taxis) or for mail order
purchases, Card “tolerance limits” may apply. This means that the authorisation
or approval obtained on the Card can be for an amount up to 20% or more
than the total bill (or anticipated bill) to cover additional items such as tips and
incidentals or to ensure that adequate funds are available to cover the final
purchase. The entire amount of the authorisation or approval will be debited
and will not form part of the available balance until the authorisation or
approval clears, although only the amount actually spent or authorised will be
finally deducted from the available balance after the authorisation or approval
clears.
6. You may use the Card as often as you like until the available balance is spent
or the Card has expired. The available balance cannot be exceeded. Where a
purchase exceeds the available balance, you will need to pay the excess using
another payment method, if the merchant agrees. The Card can be used on
more than one occasion but cannot be used to make transactions that exceed
the available balance.
7. The Card is not reloadable and is valid for a period of at least 24 hours, expiring
no later than the end of the next day, from the time of its activation, that is,
the date in which the relevant airline has loaded and activated the Card (“the
Available Period”). The expiration date can be found at https://flightdisruptions.
com/cashless-payment-cards/ and the funds cannot be used after the
Available Period. Any remaining balance after the Available Period will be
forfeited. We will not give you any notice before this happens.
8. Card Fees
The following fees apply to your Card:
Balance and transaction history –
online
FREE
Foreign currency conversion fee 3.5% of the transaction value applies
when you make a transaction on your
Card in a currency other than AUD
or you make a transaction on your
Card in any currency (including AUD)
that is processed by a Card scheme
or billed by the merchant outside of
Australia.
9. Subject to any applicable law, we may deduct from the Card balance any
government duties, taxes, rates or charges now or in the future charged upon
or in relation to the use of your Card or transactions deducted from the Card
balance, whether or not you are primarily liable for such duties, taxes, rates or
charges.
10. When you make a transaction on your Card in a currency other than AUD, a
foreign conversion will be performed at the applicable exchange rate and the
Foreign Currency Conversion Fee (set out in the above table) will be applied to
the amount of the transaction. The applicable exchange rate used is either:
a. A wholesale market rate selected by Mastercard from a range of wholesale
rates one day before the transaction is processed by Mastercard; or
b. The government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable processing
date.
11. The Card is like cash. To the extent permitted by law, we have no obligation
to replace or refund value for misused, lost or stolen Cards except where we
have breached any condition or warranty implied under consumer protection
legislation or to the extent there has been fraud, negligence or willful
misconduct by us (including that of our officers, employees, contractors or
agents). You should not interpret anything in these Terms and Conditions as
excluding, restricting or modifying any guarantee, condition or warranty which
is implied by the Australian Consumer Law. Where we are liable for a breach of
these Terms and Conditions, then our liability is limited to:
a. the supplying of the services again; or
b. the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

A request to replace a damaged Card may be made to the relevant airline that
issued you the Card. It will be at the discretion of the relevant airline whether
a replacement card is issued. If a replacement Card is issued, the replacement
Card will be loaded with an amount as determined by the relevant airline.
12. You are liable for all transactions on the Card, except to the extent that
the liability has been caused by our fraud, negligence or willful misconduct
(including that of our officers, employees, contractors or agents). Lost or stolen
Cards will not be replaced, except where the relevant loss is the result of an act
or omission of ours, so keep your Card secure at all times.
13. The personal identification number (“PIN”) is found on the scratch panel on the
back of the Card. You will be responsible for ensuring you keep the Card, the
PIN (and any related security information) safe and secure. The Card will be
disabled if an incorrect PIN is entered three (3) times.
14. To protect your Card, you should:
a. Sign it as soon as you receive it;
b. Carry it with you whenever you can and not leave it unattended;
c. Regularly check that you still have your Card and check your transaction
history online;
d. Not allow anyone else to use a Card that you have signed;
e. Do not disclose the PIN (or any related security information) to any third
party including the police and/or Mastercard Prepaid;
f. Comply with any reasonable instructions issued to you in respect of keeping
the Card and the PIN safe and secure; and
g. Do not interfere with any magnetic stripe or integrated circuit on the Card.
15. You are responsible for checking your transaction history online and knowing
your available balance. You can check your balance and transaction history free
of charge at https://flightdisruptions.com/cashless-payment-cards/.

airline in which you received the Card in the first instance.

will be acknowledged promptly, either verbally or in writing. If the complaint
is not resolved within 5 business days, a written response providing the final
outcome will be provided within no later than 30 days. The aim is to resolve all
complaints within 21 days. However, in some cases it may take up to 30 days.

return the Card immediately and without notice if:

your use of the Card for any reason, we will investigate the grounds for the
suspension as soon as reasonably practicable. Where we are reasonably
satisfied that there is no ground to continue the suspension, it will be released
as soon as practicable.
20. We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions of Use at any time.
Except where we are required by a law or a code to do so, or the change is
materially adverse to you, you will not receive advance notice of such changes.
If the change is materially adverse to you, we will notify you at least 14 days
before the effective date of the change. However, if the change is made for
one or more of the following reasons we can implement such change without
prior notice:
a. to comply with any change or anticipated change in any relevant law, code
of practice, or guidance;
b. to reflect any decision of a court, ombudsman or regulator; or
c. for security reasons where reasonably necessary to address security
concerns or vulnerabilities.

and conditions, that failure or delay does not constitute a waiver of our rights.

the issue of the Card in conjunction with the Issuer pursuant to a license
