We will treat any instruction from a TPP as if it was from you.
7.2 Without prejudice to paragraph 7.1, we reserve the right to deny a TPP access to your Account for reasonably justified and duly evidenced reasons relating to fraud or lack of authority, including but not limited to unauthorised or fraudulent initiation of a Transaction. If we deny a TPP (either an account information service provider or a payment initiation service provider) from accessing your account, we will notify you of our decision and of the reasons for our decision through the everup app and/or the email address you have provided to us unless that notification is unlawful or could compromise the security of your app.
7.3 You accept that by providing consent to a TPP to access the data in your Account to enable them to provide account information services to you or initiate Transactions on your behalf, you consent to us sharing your information with the TPP as is reasonably required for them to provide their services to you. You must inform us should you decide to withdraw this permission and it is recommended that you also inform the TPP in concern. Upon receiving your notification, we will cease providing such TPP access to your Account and/or on any of the data contained therein.
8. Disputes and Incorrect Transactions
8.1 If you have a reason to believe that (i) a Transaction on your Account was unauthorised or was made incorrectly, (ii) a Physical Card is lost or stolen; or (iii) someone else (other than a TPP) knows the security credentials or otherwise has unauthorised access to your Account and/or Card, you must inform us immediately by contacting customer services via our app chat system or via email at support@everup.uk. You must also block any lost, stolen, or misappropriated Physical Card. After you notify us of the above, we will replace a lost, stolen or misappropriated Physical Card and we will provide you with new security credentials.
8.2 We will investigate any claim for a refund of unauthorised or incorrectly executed Transactions, provided at all times that you have notified us without undue delay of becoming aware of such incorrectly executed or unauthorised Transaction and in any case within the timeframes required by the Card Scheme rules if the incorrect Transaction relates to a Card Transaction; and for all other Transactions within thirteen (13) months of the date of the relevant Transaction.

We will have no further liability to you. If we subsequently discover that you were not entitled to a refund, we shall treat the refund as a mistake and be entitled to reapply the Transaction.
8.3.2. if we reasonably believe that you may not be entitled to a refund (based on the evidence available to us at the time you report the unauthorised Transaction), we may conduct an investigation prior to giving you a refund and we will provide you with our supporting evidence if we reasonably conclude that you are not entitled to the refund.
8.3.3. if the Transaction was initiated through a TPP, it is for the TPP to prove that, the Transaction was authenticated, accurately recorded and not affected by a technical breakdown or other deficiency linked to the TPP’s payment initiation service, and
8.3.4. if we make an error on a Transaction that was made to someone else through the Direct Debit scheme, we will refund you in accordance with the Direct Debit Guarantee.
8.4 If a Transaction is incorrectly paid into your Account, we will send the funds back to the account or to the bank acting for the person from whose account the Transaction was made without undue delay. In such circumstance you agree to return the funds to us and cooperate with us in recovering the funds from you, in particular by providing us with all relevant information that we may request for the collection of the funds
8.5 You will be liable for all Transactions made from your Account if you have acted fraudulently or with gross negligence.
8.5.1. You are required in particular to keep the security credentials used to access or use your Account and/or Card safe and secure or you will otherwise be deemed as having failed to comply with these Terms of Service and/or Debit Card Terms and Conditions in relation to the safety of your Account and/or Card; and

20. General
20.1. Governing Law and jurisdiction. These Terms, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by English law. You and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction to hear any disputes that arise out of or in connection with these Terms, except that if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
20.2. Transferring these Terms. You may not transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of any rights or obligations arising under or in connection with your use of the Services, without our prior written consent. You agree that we may transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of any rights or obligations arising under or in connection with the Services. You also agree that we may use third parties and sub-contract our obligations, provided that we remain responsible to you for the performance of these Terms.
20.3 The Financial Services Compensation Scheme is not applicable for this Account. No other compensation schemes exist to cover losses claimed in connection with your Account. We will ensure that once we have received your funds they are deposited in a safeguarded account, in accordance with our legal obligations under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011. In the event that we become insolvent, funds that are safeguarded by us are protected against the claims made by our creditors.
20.4. Third party rights. A person who is not a party to the Terms has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of the Terms but this section does not affect a right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.
20.5. Availability outside United Kingdom. Our Services are directed to people residing in United Kingdom. We do not represent that content available on or through our Services is appropriate for use or available in other locations.
20.6. No waiver. Failure by us to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations or to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by us of any provision shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of that provision.
20.7. Sending notifications to you. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, we will provide notices, disclosures and other communications to you by emailing them to you at the email address associated with your Profile.
