Visa Mobile Terms of Service
1. Visa Mobile
1. Visa MobileVisa Mobile is operated by VISA EUROPE MANAGEMENT SERVICES (IRELAND) PRIVATE LIMITED (“Visa”, “we”, “us”, “our”). Contact information for Visa is included under Contact Us below.
As used in these Terms, the term "Visa Mobile" shall mean all of the following: all Visa Mobile features, functionality and services provided by Visa, now available or added in the future, whether branded as ‘Visa Mobile’ or a different name, and whether available through the Visa Mobile website or mobile site as operated as a domain or subdomain ("Website") or through an application or functionality offered by an issuing bank or payment institution, merchant, or other third party (collectively, "Services"); the logos, designs, text, images, videos, graphics, software and other content and materials of Visa or its licensors available through Visa Mobile, and the selection and arrangement thereof (collectively, "Content"); and Visa's hardware, software and networks associated with making Visa Mobile available to you (collectively, the "Visa Mobile System").
Visa Mobile offers you (i) the ability to store payment account and other related information such as e-mail address, mobile phone number and billing address ("Card Details") for your Visa credit and debit cards and any other cards or payment methods that Visa has decided are eligible to be used with Visa Mobile ("Eligible Cards") in an eletronic wallet; and (ii) the ability to use Visa Mobile to authenticate transactions using an Eligible Card stored in your electronic wallet (“Stored Card”) with merchants or other third parties that participate in the Visa Mobile system.
The financial institution or other entity which issued your Stored Card(s) (“Issuer”) may provide additional information about your Stored Card(s), such as the availability of rewards points, installments options, and other Stored Card(s) benefits to you via Visa Mobile. If so, we present this information to you in Visa Mobile as-is, as received from the Issuer of your Stored Card. If you have any questions about this information, please contact your Issuer. Where applicable, Visa will process your information to determine if you are eligible for these options or benefits, and to display these to you.
When you use Visa Mobile, we will transmit your Card Details to the merchant, or other applicable third party, in order to allow them to process the transaction. Visa may generate a numerical surrogate of your Stored Card payment account number (a token) to be used in order to help protect your Stored Cards. You agree that the merchant or other applicable third party may transmit information about the transaction to the applicable network for your Stored Card and that your transaction will be paid for using the Stored Card you have selected.
You acknowledge that the Card Details stored or provided through use of Visa Mobile are provided by you and contain personal financial information. You may only use Eligible Cards in connection with Visa Mobile if your Issuer regards you as the cardholder or authorized user and your name is shown on the Eligible Card. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the Card Details and other information you store with Visa Mobile or provide through use of Visa Mobile. You must only use valid email addresses and phone numbers owned or controlled by you. Although Visa may perform certain validation checks for Card Details for Visa Mobile, Visa is not responsible for the accuracy of Card Details or the other information you provide, including whether Card Details are current and up-to-date.
Visa Mobile is not a bank or payment account and does not offer any credit to you or a merchant. Any transaction that you make using Visa Mobile will be reflected in the account which relates to the Stored Card you use for the transaction. Payment of that account is solely a matter between you and the Issuer of the Stored Card.
2. Important Notice About Your Transactions
While Visa Mobile helps facilitate transactions, Visa is not a party to any transaction and the payment to or from a merchant in connection with your use of Visa Mobile, including the purchase or return of goods or services, is solely between you and the merchant.
If you require a refund or reversal of any transaction completed using Visa Mobile, you must contact the applicable merchant and/or the Issuer of the Stored Card you used for the transaction.
Please remember that Visa is not a party to the transaction, and thus Visa is not able to resolve any such issues that you may have with the transaction.
If you have a dispute with a merchant about a transaction made in connection with Visa Mobile, you are solely responsible for settling the dispute directly with the merchant or via your Issuer. Due to how Visa Mobile functions, Visa is not a party to the transaction.
3. Service Terms
Visa Mobile is not available to cards and payment methods other than Eligible Cards. Furthermore, Visa may remove Stored Cards from Visa Mobile or prevent Eligible Cards from being activated for Visa Mobile, and Visa may also revise the eligibility of specific or general credit and debit cards and any other cards or payment methods that constitute Eligible Cards, provided that it is justified by reasons of safety, security, legal or regulatory compliance, circumstances connected with Issuers, or if a card or payment method loses the status of Eligible Cards. In such a case, you may continue using Visa Mobile for other Stored Cards or other Eligible Cards.
4. Eligibility
Visa Mobile is only available to individuals who are:
(i) residents of one of the following jurisdictions: Poland (the "Eligible Jurisdictions");
(ii) holders of Eligible Cards issued by Issuers licenced to perate in any of the Eligible Jurisdictions;
(iii) the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction, province or territory of residence;
(iv) able to access the Internet on a computer or other device; and
(v) the cardholder or authorized user of one or more Eligible Cards, and in good standing with respect to their Eligible Card accounts.
Access to Visa Mobile from any location where it is illegal or otherwise restricted is prohibited. If your jurisdiction of residence changes, you must promptly un-register from Visa Mobile and re-register with your new jurisdiction of residence if it is an Eligible Jurisdiction. If your new location is not an Eligible Jurisdiction, you can re-register when Visa Mobile becomes available in your new location.
5. Registration and Security
If you choose to register for Visa Mobile, you agree to provide us with true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself and any Stored Card and update us if there are changes to the information. You acknowledge and agree that Visa will have no liability associated with or arising from your failure to maintain accurate information with Visa, including your failure to receive important information and updates about Visa Mobile. If Visa has justified grounds to recognise that any information you provided to us is untrue, inaccurate or incomplete, Visa may suspend or terminate your registration in or use of Visa Mobile and refuse any and all current or future use of Visa Mobile (or any portion thereof) by you.

You should choose a pin code or password that is unique to Visa Mobile, memorize it and not keep notation of it on or with your personal computer, tablet, mobile device or other device used to access Visa Mobile. You are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of your pin code or password, if any. It is important that you do so since we are not responsible for any losses you incur as a result of unauthorized use of any Stored Card via Visa Mobile and, depending on the circumstances, your Issuer may hold you responsible for unauthorized use of your Stored Card account.
You agree to notify Visa immediately of any unauthorized use of your account, device or Stored Card in Visa Mobile, or if your device(s) with the phone number which you’ve chosen to be used for Visa Mobile, has been lost or stolen or otherwise suffered unauthorized access, or any other actual or potential security breach relating to your use of Visa Mobile. Visa reserves the right to remove any Stored Cards from, or suspend or terminate your use of, Visa Mobile and/or, if you have a pin code or password, require you to change your pin code or password, if Visa has justified grounds to recognise that it is no longer secure.
You are responsible for use of your Stored Cards via Visa Mobile and for ensuring that use of or access to Visa Mobile complies fully with these Terms.
6. Cardholder Agreements
These Terms do not amend or otherwise modify any agreement with your Issuer in respect of an Stored Card ("Cardholder Agreement"). In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and your Cardholder Agreement, these Terms govern as to the relationship between you and Visa solely with respect to Visa Mobile, and your Cardholder Agreement with your Issuer governs the relationship between you and your Issuer. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Visa Mobile complies with any Cardholder Agreement.
