Split tender transactions: If the Balance on the Card is not sufficient to cover the full Transaction Amount, you may ask the merchant if they will accept a split tender transaction.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OPENING YOUR NEW MYORCHARD SPEND CARD ACCOUNT
To help the government fight terrorism and money laundering, federal law requires us to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who registers for an Account. What this means for you: when you open and/or register for an Account, we will ask for your name, a street address, date of birth, and an identification number that federal law requires us to obtain. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents that will allow us to identify you. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
For bank account validation (to ensure that your account is authorized and valid and linked to you) and linking bank accounts to the MyOrchard Platform, MyOrchard relies on MX.com. By agreeing to this Agreement, and to enable these services, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the MX.com Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, available at MX.com, in addition to this Agreement and MyOrchard’s Privacy Policy.
The Prepaid Mastercard Card: The MyOrchard Card is a prepaid Mastercard card that can be used anywhere that Mastercard is accepted, including mail order, online, telephone, and point of sale retail merchants, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Activating the Card: The Card cannot be used for any purpose until it has been activated in accordance with the instructions on the card carrier and signed by you on the back of the Card where indicated.
Ownership and Use of the Card: To use the Card, simply present the Card at the time of payment, and enter your PIN (or sign the receipt with the same signature you used when you signed the Card). You should retain the receipt as a record of the transaction. As you use the Card, the Card’s Balance will be reduced by the full amount of each purchase including taxes, charges, and other fees, if any.
If you use your Card for card-not-present transactions (such as online, mail or telephone purchases), the legal effect is the same as if you used the physical Card.
The Card includes a PIN that can be used to withdraw any Balance available on the Card in cash at any ATM displaying the Mastercard or Cirrus® acceptance marks. When you use the Card at an ATM, the amount of the withdrawal, plus any applicable fees and taxes, will be deducted from the available Balance associated with your Card.
Your Card can also be used at any POS that accepts Mastercard PayPass®, subject to merchant purchase limits.
You are solely and completely responsible for the possession, use, and control of the Card. You must surrender the Card to us immediately upon request by us. The Card is provided to you, only. If you authorize another person to use the Card, you agree, to the extent permitted by law, that you will be liable for all transactions arising from use of the Card by such person.
You agree that, if a merchant required that you sign the sales draft, we are not required to verify your signature on any sales draft prepared in connection with a transaction on the Card and we may authorize and process a transaction even if the signature on the sales draft is different than the signature on the Card.
We are not liable to you for declining authorization for any particular transaction, regardless of our reason.
We may, in our sole discretion, cancel or suspend any features or services of the Card at any time, with or without cause, with thirty (30) days’ notice to you or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.
We will, upon your request, mail to you a written statement of transactions made with the Card.
Some merchants (including, but not limited to, fuel stations, restaurants, hotels, cruise lines, or car rental companies) may pre-authorize the transaction amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% (or more) above the purchase amount to ensure that there are sufficient funds available on the Card to cover any tips or incidental expenses. In such cases, your transaction will be declined if the Card Balance will not cover the transaction amount plus the additional amount.
A pre-authorization will place a ‘hold’ on an amount of your available Card funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the pre-authorization amount on hold in excess of that final payment amount will be released. The time it takes for a pre-authorization hold to be removed may vary depending on the type of merchant.
A hold is typically removed within fifteen (15) days for most standard merchants, and within thirty (30) days for hotels, cruise lines and car rental agencies. During the hold period, you will not have access to the pre-authorized amount.
Loading Funds: The load methods may change from time to time. Some load methods are offered by third party service providers and are subject to additional fees. See the Website and the applicable service providers’ terms and conditions for more details. Subject to applicable Card fees, funds loaded to the Card using multiple methods (e.g., Visa Debit or Interac ETransfer) or via card-to-card transfer will be available immediately after the load is confirmed by us. The time before funds become available may vary for other load methods. The funds provided by you to load a Balance onto the Card and the Balance on the Card are not a deposit, and they do not establish a separate individual deposit account with us or any other Canadian financial institution. You will not receive interest on the Balance or on any funds you load onto the Card.
Information About Balance: It is your responsibility to ensure that there is a sufficient Balance on the Card to cover transactions plus any pre-authorized amounts. To obtain the current Balance amount, or the transaction history, please login to your account or visit the MyOrchard Application.
The Card Balance will reflect all transactions that have been posted to our system. You are not allowed to exceed the Balance available on the Card for any transaction. If you attempt to use the Card when there is insufficient Balance available to cover the full Transaction Amount, the transaction in most instances will be declined. However, if due to a systems malfunction or for any reason whatsoever, a transaction occurs despite insufficient Balance on the Card, creating a negative amount, you agree to reimburse us, upon request, for the amount of the Transaction Amount in excess of the Balance.
If your Card has a negative Balance and three (3) consecutive transactions are conducted while the Card has a negative Balance, we will disable the Card to prevent any further transactions until the Balance on the Card is brought back to a positive Balance. You must not attempt to cause the Card to have a negative Balance. If a negative Balance is created on the Card following any transaction initiated or authorized by you, then you agree to repay the amount of the negative Balance to us within ten (10) days of such transaction.
If the Card has a negative Balance for sixty (60) consecutive days, we will put the Card into a suspended state so that no other transaction can be processed. Please call customer service if you wish to continue using the Card.
If there is no activity on the Card for ninety (90) consecutive days and the Balance on the Card is $0.00 or negative, we will put the Card into a suspended state so that no other transaction can be processed. Please call customer service if you wish to continue using the Card.
If the Card has a Balance of $0.00 or negative and there have been no transactions for one hundred and twenty (120) days, we may close the Card account.
In the event that there is not a sufficient Balance on the Card to pay monthly maintenance fees, we may deactivate the Card without notice.
Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies: We convert transactions made in a foreign currency to Canadian dollars using the Mastercard Conversion Rate in effect on the day the transaction is posted to the Card. The Mastercard Conversion Rate in effect on the posting date may differ from the rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
However, if a foreign currency transaction is refunded to the Card, the Mastercard Conversion Rate used to convert your refund to Canadian dollars for the Card is the rate that we pay to Mastercard minus the Foreign exchange charge. Additionally, the rate that we pay to Mastercard may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was refunded. For these reasons, the amount that is credited to the Card for a refund of a foreign currency transaction will, in most cases, be less than the amount that was originally charged to the Card for that transaction.
Protection Against Loss, theft, or Unauthorized Use: If the Card is lost or stolen, you will be asked to provide us with your name and the Card number, and to answer an identifying question drawn from your personal information. If you lose the Card, someone might be able to use the Balance on the Card.
The Card can be used without a PIN to make purchases online.
We will refund any remaining Balance (less the card refund after we have processed all transactions completed before we had an opportunity to act on your information. We will have a customer service representative or automated voice response service available seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day that will allow immediate cancellation of the Card upon your request.
A replacement Card with any remaining Balance (less our fees as stated in the table marked ‘Fees’) will be issued within fifteen 15 days after you report the Card lost or stolen to ensure that all transactions have been processed properly.
You agree, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to cooperate with us in our attempts to recover from unauthorized users and to assist in their prosecution.
The Mastercard Zero Liability Policy applies to purchases made in-store, via telephone, online, or from a mobile device, as well as transactions at an ATM. As a cardholder, you will not be held responsible for unauthorized transactions if:
(i) you have exercised reasonable care in protecting the Card and PIN (Personal Identification Number) from loss or theft, and
(ii) you promptly reported the loss or theft of the Card or PIN to Peoples Trust.
If these conditions are not met, you will be liable for all unauthorized transactions completed before you reported the loss of theft of the Card or PIN to Peoples Trust. Verification of a Zero Liability claim can take up to one hundred and twenty (120) days once all the required forms and/or documents have been received and confirmed by Peoples Trust, and may require a police investigation.
Notification and Change of Terms: Subject to the limitations of Applicable Law, we may from time to time amend any term or condition of this Agreement or add a new term or condition, including increasing or adding new fees. As required by Applicable Law, notice of any Amendments will be sent to you at the most recent mailing or email address that we have on record for you.
