Google Pay Terms and Conditions
These terms
(a) You agree with Archa to these terms by:
(i) adding an Archa Card for use in Google Pay on Your eligible Android Device; or
(ii) allowing Another Cardholder to add an Archa Card linked to Your account to Google Pay on their Android Device.
(b) These terms apply in addition to the Account Access Terms associated with each Archa Card. It is important that You read these terms and the Account Access Terms together.
Adding and removing an Archa Card
(a) You can add an Archa Card to Google Pay on Your eligible Android Device and Another Cardholder can add an Archa Card to their eligible Android Device, provided that:
(i) we can verify the relevant Cardholder's identity;
(ii) if You are not the Accountholder, the Accountholder has agreed to the Archa Card being added to Google Pay on the relevant Cardholder's eligible Android Device; and
(iii) the account is in good standing.
(b) A Cardholder can remove an Archa Card linked to Your account from Google Pay on the Cardholder’s Android Device at any time.
(c) Instructions on how to add an Archa Card to Google Pay, or remove one, are set out at https://support.google.com/pay/answer/7625139?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1#zippy=%2Cadd-a-debit-or-credit-card.
(d) Once an Archa Card is added to Google Pay, the Cardholder can use Google Pay to authorise transactions on a Card Account. This is done by using the relevant Android Device in place of an Archa Card at a contactless terminal or in an application on an Android Device. Some contactless terminals may require the Cardholder to enter the Archa Card PIN.
Security and your liability
WARNING: Any person who can unlock Your Android Device may be able to make transactions using an Archa Card registered in Google Pay.
(a) If a Cardholder’s Archa Card linked to Your account is registered for Google Pay on any eligible Android Device, You are responsible for ensuring that:
(i) only the Cardholder's Biometric Identifier is registered on the Android Device (and no other person's Biometric Identifier is registered);
(ii) the Google Pay wallet is not shared with anyone and is used only by the Cardholder;
(iii) each Cardholder keeps the passcode in the Cardholder's Android Device secure in the same way as a Cardholder would a banking password or Card PIN secure, including by:
(A) not sharing it with anyone;
(B) not carrying a record of it within an Android Device or with anything capable of being stolen along with an Android Device (unless a reasonable effort is made to protect the security of it);
(C) not choosing an easily guessable passcode such as the Cardholder's date of birth or a recognisable part of the Cardholder's name; and
(D) not acting with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of the passcode.
(iv) the Cardholder keeps the Android Device safe and secure (including by locking it when not in use or when it is unattended and by installing up-to-date anti-virus software on it); and
(v) the Cardholder removes any Archa Cards from the Cardholder's Android Device before disposing of the Android Device. \n \n**(b)** If a Cardholder:
(i) allows any other person's Biometric Identifier be registered on the Cardholder's Android Device;
(ii) shares the Cardholder's passcode with any other person; or
(iii) registers a Biometric Identifier on the Cardholder’s Android Device in circumstances where the Cardholder is aware that another person is or may be able to use their biometric information to access the Android Device, You are taken to have authorised that person to transact on Your account using Google Pay.
(c) This means that any Google Pay transaction initiated by that person using the Biometric Identifier, biometric information or passcode will be authorised by You and the terms of the Account Access Terms which deal with unauthorised transactions will not apply. WARNING: this could result in significant loss or liability in relation to such transactions.
(d) If another person's Biometric Identifier is registered on Your Android Device or the Android Device of Another Cardholder You must ensure that it is removed. If You or Another Cardholder think any other person knows the passcode for the Android Device, You must ensure that the passcode is changed by You or Another Cardholder, as applicable. If a Cardholder becomes aware that another person is or may be able to access the Android Device using their biometric information, the Cardholder must use a passcode instead of a Biometric Identifier to initiate transactions using their Archa Card on Google Pay and must remove their Biometric Identifier from the Android Device.
(e) At any time, a Cardholder can delete or suspend their Archa Card from Google Pay. You cannot suspend the use of Another Cardholder's Archa Card in Google Pay, but You can suspend or close the Archa Card of Another Cardholder in App or by calling 03 7034 6935.
(f) Please call Archa immediately on 03 7034 6935 if:
(i) any Android Device on which an Archa Card linked to Your account has been added to Google Pay is lost or stolen;
(ii) the mobile service of any Android Device on which an Archa Card linked to Your account has been added to Google Pay is suddenly disconnected without Your permission (which may indicate the occurrence of mobile phone porting); or
(iii) You or Another Cardholder suspect a security breach in relation to any Android Device on which an Archa Card linked to Your account has been added to Google Pay, or that an unauthorised person has used the passcode, Archa Card PIN or other credentials to access Google Pay.
(g) Based on Your report, we will suspend use of Your Archa Card with Google Pay. This helps protect You as much as possible from additional loss or liability.
(h) In the terms of the Account Access Terms which deal with liability for unauthorised transactions:
(i) each reference to a 'password' or 'PIN' includes a reference to Your Android Device pass code;
(ii) each reference to a 'Security Setting’ includes the requirement to keep Your Android Device pass code secure as described above; and
(iii) each reference to a lost or stolen card includes a lost or stolen Android Device, with all necessary modification, notwithstanding that Archa does not issue Your Android Device to You (or the associated pass code), and noting that if another person's Biometric Identifier is registered on Your Android Device, any transaction conducted by them is not an unauthorised transaction.
(i) Generally, You are liable for unauthorised transactions conducted using Google Pay.
