For those who have opened an everup cash account prior to the 7th of November 2023, these accounts have been operated in collaboration with Modulr FS Limited.

You must also block any lost, stolen, or misappropriated Physical or Virtual Card.

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 Debit Card 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 Debit Card 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

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.

20.6. 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.
