Google Pay Terms and Conditions

Google Pay is available to cardholders for the purposes of purchasing goods and services with a compatible Google device (including phone, tablet, wearable device) (“Eligible Device”) at (1) near field communication (“NFC”) enabled merchants; and (2) an online merchant (whether in-app or through website), who accept Google Pay as a form of payment.

You need to select Google Pay as the default 'tap & pay' application on your Android Device's settings to transact using Google Pay. In addition, you must have your BOQ Specialist card selected as your default card within Google Pay for Google Pay to use your BOQ Specialist card when completing a transaction. If Google Pay is the default 'tap & pay' application on your Android Device's settings, you may only be able to pay using Google Pay despite another 'tap & pay' application being open at the time you tap your Android Device at the contactless terminal.

Depending on the dollar value of the transaction, you may be required to undertake the following actions in order to initiate a transaction at a contactless payment terminal:

• enter your BOQ Specialist Card PIN;
• to have unlocked or awaken the Android Device (please note that for some Android Devices, carrier specific software settings may override Google Pay setting, requiring you to unlock your phone in order to initiate a transaction).

The transaction limits that apply to your Card do not change as a result of your adding your Card to Google Pay.

Google Pay may not work when the Android Device is not within range of a cellular or wireless internet connection. If the Android Device has not had a cellular or wireless internet connection for an extended time there may be a delay before Google Pay works once reconnected.

Google Pay may not be accepted outside of Australia, or at all places where your BOQ Specialist Card is accepted.

You can ensure that your Card cannot be used with Google Pay on your Android Device by:

• removing the Google account to which your Card was added in Google Pay;
• undertaking a factory reset of your Android Device; or
• erasing your Android Device on Android Device Manager.

Google Pay allows you to use your Eligible Device to access and use your Cards to make such purchases in place of presenting or using your physical Card. To add your Card to Google Pay, you must register your Card through Google Pay either by scanning the Card or entering the card details manually (“Google Pay Card Registration”). You may be required to take additional steps to authenticate yourself before your Card is added to Google Pay, including providing the correct one-time password (“OTP”) which will be sent to you by us via SMS on your registered mobile number with us (“Additional Authentication”). Your enrolment will be declined if the Card is not eligible for this service, you failed the authentication process, or if your Card or underlying Account is not in good standing or conducted in a proper or satisfactory manner as determined by us at our absolute discretion. Google Pay may limit the number of Cards that you may store in one Eligible Device from time to time which we cannot control.

We may, however, limit the number of Eligible Devices in which the same Card can be stored from time to time and you should refer to our latest communications regarding such limit.

For a Credit Card which has additional cards, such additional cards shall be regarded as separate Credit Cards, and Google Pay Card Registration and Additional Authentication shall apply when additional cardholders wish to enrol their additional Credit Cards with Google Pay.

By adding your Card to Google Pay, a unique numerical identifier different from your Card number (“Virtual Account Number”) will be allocated for the purpose of making purchases and receiving refunds through Google Pay. Due to the manner in which Google Pay operates, you may need to present your Eligible Device at a merchant when you return an item purchased using Google Pay on such Eligible Device. 

Purchases you make with Google Pay using your Card are governed by the Conditions of Use. Please review the Conditions of Use for important information on your rights and responsibilities when making purchases. You must keep your Eligible Device safe (including ensuring that the device is not modified contrary to the software or hardware guidelines of the manufacturer) and ensure that where your passcode or personal identification number is required to allow you to use your Eligible Device to access and use your Cards to make purchases through Google Pay, your passcode or personal identification number is not disclosed to any one and you must take all steps and prevent any fraud, loss or theft in respect of the Eligible Device or any Card in connection with the use of Google  Pay.

If biometric details may be used to identify you or be used to grant access to the Eligible Device to access and use your Cards, you must not save a third party’s biometrics such as fingerprint (biometric information) on the Eligible Device. In the event a third party’s biometrics are saved on the Eligible Device, whether now or in the future, and such biometric details can be used to grant access to the Eligible Device to access and use your Cards, you understand, and acknowledge and agree that such person, using his or her biometrics, will be able to access and use your Cards and make purchases with Google  Pay using your Cards, and the relevant transactions will be charged to your Cards, to which you shall be responsible and liable for the same.

If you enrol using personal identification number or passcode on Google Pay, the collection, storage, enrolment and access to Google Pay using your personal identification number or passcode will be made using the technology on your Eligible Device. Accordingly, when you log into Google Pay and choose to be verified using the technology on your Eligible Device, your personal identification number or passcode will be matched and verified against your Eligible Device’s technology. Accordingly, you acknowledge that we have no control over the technology on the Eligible Device, the availability, capability, verification method, security and integrity of the Eligible Device and cannot be held responsible for transactions affected using Google Pay and authorised using personal identification number or passcode. You should therefore assess if the Eligible Device’s manner of verification and risks associated with such use is acceptable to you.

Use of Google Pay is at your discretion. You are not obliged to use Google Pay in connection with any of your Cards. Accordingly, you agree that the access and use of your Cards on Google Pay will be considered as authorised by you and you shall be responsible and liable for the same. If your Eligible Device is lost or stolen, personal identification number or other passcode is compromised or used or Card has been used through Google Pay without your permission, you must notify us immediately. If you fail to notify us without delay, you may be liable for part or all of the losses in connection with any unauthorised use of your Card in connection with Google Pay as further set out in the Conditions of Use.

You agree and acknowledge that the transaction history displayed in Google Pay in connection with use of your Card in Google Pay solely represents our authorisation of your Google Pay transaction using that particular Eligible Device and does not reflect any post-authorisation activity, including but not limited to clearing, settlement, foreign currency exchange, reversals, returns or chargebacks.

Accordingly, the purchase amount, currency, and other details for your Google Pay transaction history in connection with use of your Card in Google Pay may not match the transaction amount that is ultimately cleared, settled, and posted to your Card statement of account. If there is any inconsistency between your Card statement of account and transaction history displayed in Google Pay, your Card statement of account shall prevail, and you will remain liable to us for the amounts set out on your statements.

We currently do not impose a fee for using your Card through Google Pay but we reserve the right to impose a fee at our sole discretion in the future. All applicable interest, fees and charges that apply to your Card pursuant to the relevant Conditions of Use will continue to apply after you have registered your Card with Google Pay. Your telecommunications carrier or provider may impose web-enablement, data usage or text messaging fees or other charges for your use of Google Pay (“Charges”). You shall be solely responsible for such Charges.

As a condition of using your Card in connection with Google Pay, you acknowledge and consent to us sending notifications and automatically dialled calls or text messages to the Eligible Device which may or may not be the same device as your mobile phone number on record with us. If at any time you revoke this consent, we may suspend or cancel your ability to use your Card in connection with Google Pay.

Devices modified contrary to the software or hardware guidelines of a manufacturer, including by disabling hardware or software controls, (commonly referred to as “jail breaking”), are not Eligible Devices. You acknowledge and agree that the use of a modified device to use your Card in connection with Google Pay is expressly prohibited, constitutes a violation of these Terms and Conditions, and is grounds for us to deny your access to your Cards through Google Pay.

We have the right to suspend or cancel your ability to use your Card in connection with Google Pay at any time and need not give you any prior notice or reason for doing so.

We have the right to impose a limit on any daily and/or individual transaction amount(s) charged to your Card through Google Pay. The limit will be such amount(s) as determined by us and notified to you from time to time. 

You acknowledge that (i) Google , the provider of Google  Pay technology that supports the Cards in Google Pay, as well as its sub-contractors, agents, and affiliates, and (ii) the applicable payment network branded on your Card (e.g. Visa) as well as sub-contractors, agents, and affiliates of such payment networks, will have access to certain details of your transactions made with merchants via use of your Cards through Google Pay in and/or for the purposes of

(1) performing its obligations hereunder;

(2) providing you with relevant transaction data;

(3) detecting and addressing fraud;

(4) complying with applicable laws and regulations;

(5) responding to inquiries made pursuant to court orders or by regulators;

(6) managing, making product enhancement to, and/or promoting the use of Google  Pay; and

(7) creating business and/or technical performance reporting.

You acknowledge that the use, storage and disclosure of any personal information provided by you directly to Google, the applicable payment network branded on your Card, or other third parties supporting Google Pay, will be governed by the privacy policy of such party. 

Merchants may present to you certain discounts, rebates or other benefits (e.g. free shipping) (“Offers”) if payment is effected through Google Pay. Such Offers are subject to certain terms and conditions between you and the relevant merchant, and may be subject to change at any time without notice to you.

We will not be liable for any loss or damage as a result of any interaction between you and a merchant with respect to such Offers. Subject to applicable law and the Conditions of Use all matters, including delivery of goods and services, returns, and warranties, are solely between you and the applicable merchants. BOQ Specialist has the ability to investigate some Disputed Transactions which occur on your card. Please refer to our Conditions of Use for further information on chargebacks.

You acknowledge that we do not endorse or warrant the merchants that are accessible through Google Pay or the Offers that they provide.

Subject to applicable laws and regulations, at any time we may

(i) terminate your use of Cards in connection with Google Pay,

(ii) modify or suspend the type or dollar amounts of transactions allowed using Cards in connection with Google  Pay,

(iii) change the eligibility of a Card for use with Google  Pay, and/or (iv) change the Card authentication process.

If we have cancelled or suspended your Card in accordance with the Conditions of Use, you will not be allowed to use it through your Eligible Device. Please note that this is the case even though you may still see a symbol for the Card on your Eligible Device.

We can change these terms by giving you notice as set out below. Any changes will not increase your liability for transactions already conducted using your card in Google Pay.

We may make changes to these Terms and Conditions as required to immediately restore or maintain the security of a system or individual facility without prior notice. We will notify you of such changes as soon as reasonably practicable.

Otherwise, we will give you 30 days' prior written notice of any changes which:

• impose or increase our charges relating solely to the use of your Card in Google Pay;
• increase your liability for losses relating to transactions conducted using your Card in Google Pay; or
• impose, remove or change your daily transaction limit or other periodical transaction limit applying to the use of your Card in Google Pay.

We may make any other changes to the terms applying to the use of your Card in Google Pay by notifying you before the change takes place. 

If you share your passcode with any other person, you are taken to have authorised that person to transact on your account using Google Pay. This means that any Google Pay transaction initiated by that person using the passcode will be authorised by you and the Conditions of Use which deal with unauthorised transactions will not apply.

You understand and acknowledge that this can result in significant loss or liability to you.

If you register your Card with Google Pay, you are responsible for ensuring that:

(i) The Google Pay wallet is not shared with anyone and is used only by you;

(ii) You keep the passcode in the Eligible Device in the same way as you would safe keep a banking password or PIN secure, including by:

a. not sharing it with anyone;

b. not carrying a record of it with an Eligible Device or anything liable to be stolen with an Eligible Device (unless a reasonable effort is made to protect the security of it);

c. not choosing a passcode that can be guessed, such as your date of birth or a recognisable part of your name; and

d. not failing to protect the security of the passcode;

(iii) You must keep the Eligible 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

(iv) Remove any Cards from the Eligible Device before disposing of the Eligible Device.

At any time, you can delete or suspend your Card from Google Pay and any additional cardholder can delete or suspend their Card from Google Pay. The principal cardholder of a Credit Card cannot suspend the use of an additional cardholder's Credit Card in Google Pay, but they can suspend or close the Credit Card of the additional cardholder by calling our Client Service Centre on 1300 160 160 (24 hours a day).

Please call us immediately on1300 160 160 (24 hours a day) if:

(i) our Eligible Device is lost or stolen;

(ii) Your Eligible Device mobile service is suddenly disconnected without your permission (which may indicate your Eligible Device and/or your Card(s) added to Google  Pay has/have been subject to unauthorised use or access) ; or

(iii) You suspect a security breach in relation to your Eligible Device or Google Pay or that an unauthorised person has used your passcode, Card PIN or your other credentials to access Google Pay.
