Please note that as insofar as this relates to the Payment Services Law described below, the above constitutes only a summary and does not replace or prejudice the paragraph of the Law itself.

A. Liability in the event of theft, or loss, or misuse of the card

In order to prevent you and the Company from being harmed, you are required to give notice of the loss, theft or misuse of your card as soon as possible. It should be noted that the sooner you give notice, the less you may be liable.

1. In any case as stated above, your liability will be limited as follows:

a. The amount of transactions or withdrawals actually made or a fixed amount of NIS 75 plus NIS 30 for each day that passes from the date on which you or the holder of the card on your behalf learned of the theft or loss of the card until the date of the notice, whichever is less. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your notice was delivered within 30 days of the first time your card was misused, you will not be liable for an amount exceeding NIS 450.

b. In addition, your liability will be limited to the amount of money accumulated on the card until it is first loaded by a person who is not entitled to it, up to the amount of NIS 400 loaded on the card (if loaded).

2. These amounts may be changed under an order of the Minister of Justice published in Reshumot. In any case, you will not be liable for damage caused after you have given notice of theft or loss. The above limitation of liability will not apply in the following cases:

a. If you give your card to someone else, except under reasonable circumstances only for the purpose of safekeeping. It should be emphasized that holding or handing over the card or its number in violation of the instructions given to you in advance will be considered handing over the card in circumstances that are not reasonable.

b. If your card was used with your knowledge.

c. If you have acted with fraudulent intent.

In each of the above cases, the Company is entitled to increase the total transactions in respect of any transaction or withdrawal made with the card (even if made by a person who is not authorized to do so, and even if the withdrawals exceed the amounts that you are entitled to withdraw through the devices, if any), whether prior to or after receipt of the notice.

B. Assistance in returning the card in case of loss or theft

You are requested to provide in writing all information known to you to the best of your knowledge regarding the circumstances of the loss or theft of the card, including the estimated place, date and time when the card was stolen/lost, when and where the card was last used and a description of other stolen or lost items which may help return the card. You may also be asked to take reasonable steps to help return the card to the Company and/or locate the user. Be aware that by law, the limitation of liability is conditional on provision of the above information. In addition, if you do not act as aforesaid, you may be liable to compensate the Company up to NIS 2,500. The Minister of Justice may change this amount by order, which will be published in Reshumot.

C. Return of the card

When you give notice of the termination of the arrangement, or when the Company announces the cancellation of the card, you must return the card to the Company or send the card to ICP at 9 Masada Street, Bnei Brak, 5120109 by registered mail with the magnetic strip cut, and avoid using the number imprinted on it.
