9. Your responsibilities & acceptable use

10. Automatic renewal & cancellation

Subscription renews every 30 days. Cancel anytime via email or web form; use continues until period end. Introductory‑month refunds are governed by the Money‑Back Policy.

We may adjust merchant list, fees, Cashback Bonus or these Terms.

  • Material changes – 30 days’ email notice; you may cancel before they take effect.
  • Minor/regulatory changes – effective on posting.

12. End of membership & balance use

Balances can only be spent with participating merchants; they cannot be cashed out (except if mandatory law requires). Should the programme terminate, we will give 60 days’ notice and provide a compliant solution for remaining e‑money.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE AND CARD ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. Merchant list, bonus rules and promotions may change.

14. Limitation of liability

Our total liability is limited to the greater of (i) subscription fees you paid in the 12 months before the claim or (ii) £ 100. Indirect or consequential losses are excluded. Nothing limits liability for fraud or death/personal injury caused by negligence.

15. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us for losses arising from your breach of these Terms or fraudulent activity.

16. Governing law & dispute resolution

  • Unresolved disputes: binding arbitration under NAM Comprehensive Rules; opt‑out allowed within 30 days of acceptance.
  • Class actions are waived. UK/EEA consumers may alternatively use local courts.

17. Miscellaneous

If any clause is unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. We may assign these Terms without notice; you may not. Electronic notices satisfy legal‑notice requirements.
