2.2 When you create a Lopay Account, Issuer and Lopay will establish a “Total Spending Limit” for such Lopay Account, which will be the maximum aggregate amount available for Charges across all Spend Cards associated with such Lopay Account. The initial Total Spending Limit will be set by Issuer and Lopay in their sole discretion, based on the amount of funds contained in your Lopay Account. Afterward, your Total Spending Limit for your Lopay Account and associated Spend Cards will be based on the amount of funds available in your Lopay Account. Lopay and Issuer may increase or decrease the Total Spending Limit at any time based on risk or compliance considerations.
2.3 Subject to the Total Spending Limit, Issuer and Lopay may set and adjust from time to time spending limits for particular Spend Cards (“Card Spending Limit”), as well as overall daily spending limits (“Daily Spending Limit”).
2.4 The aggregate amount available for Charges on Spend Cards associated with your Lopay Account at any given time (“Available Spend”) will be the lesser of: (i) the amount presented by us to you in your Lopay Account); or (ii) the Total Spending Limit. The amount available for Charges on a particular Spend Card will be subject to the Card Spending Limit and/or Daily Spending Limit (if any) for such Spend Card.
3. Requesting Cards
You may request Spend Cards for Authorized Users through your Lopay Account but will only request Spend Cards for and provide Spend Cards to individuals (whether or not they are your employees) who are authorized by you. Spend Cards may be denied or canceled due to changes in Issuers' policies, as required by law, or for other reasons we determine are appropriate under the circumstances. Spend Cards may be issued to Users and Authorized Users as virtual Spend Cards (i.e., Spend Cards issued without an associated physical card) or physical Spend Cards. You will be able to view transactions and manage your Spend Cards through the Lopay Account.
4. Using Cards
You may only use Spend Cards for bona fide business-related Charges. You are responsible for selecting who in your organization should have access to Spend Cards. You agree to establish and maintain controls designed to ensure that the Spend Cards are only used for bona fide business purposes and in compliance with Card Network rules. You are solely responsible for Charges made by any individuals given access to Spend Cards even if they are not the person associated with or named on the Spend Card. Lopay, Issuers, Card Networks, or other intermediaries (including merchant acquirers) may deny or reverse Charges for any reason. Lopay is not responsible for any losses, damages, or other harms caused by Charges that are denied or reversed.
5. Disputed Charges
If you have a dispute with a merchant or seller regarding the product or service that is the subject of a Charge, you should contact the merchant or seller to resolve the dispute. If a Charge is not appropriately addressed with the merchant or seller, then you may submit a chargeback of the Charge by contacting Lopay via your Account or using Lopay's support form. You acknowledge that Issuer and Lopay are subject to the Card Network Rules with respect to chargebacks and may not be able to successfully charge back the Charge. If you believe a Charge was unauthorized, or if you believe your statement contains any errors, you should contact Lopay immediately through your Lopay Account or using Lopay's support form. You must report any disputed Charge or error no more than sixty (60) days after the disputed Charge posted to your Account. Notices for disputed Charges must specify your details, details about the User, details about the disputed Charge, and an explanation of your belief that the disputed Charge was made in error or was unauthorized. Lopay will review the information submitted in a commercially reasonable manner. To avoid late fees and sustained reduction to Available Spend, you should pay the disputed Charge while Lopay determines the validity of the dispute, except where a provisional credit has been issued. If the dispute is deemed valid, Issuer and Lopay will credit the disputed Charge amount back to your Lopay Account. You hereby assign and transfer to Issuer any rights and claims, excluding tort claims, that you may have against any merchant or seller for any disputed Charge fully or partially credited to your Lopay Account.
6. Lost or Stolen Cards
You will promptly notify us and take appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized transactions when a Spend Card is lost, stolen, breached, or needs to be replaced. In such cases, you may request the issuance of replacement Spend Cards by Issuers through your Lopay Account. Replacement Spend Cards may have new account numbers that will require you to update the Spend Card on file for any scheduled or recurring payments. If you do not update the Spend Card for scheduled or recurring payments, the transactions may not be completed. You are solely responsible for updating Spend Cards stored with merchants where account numbers have been changed. You will keep your Lopay Account secure and only provide access to individuals that you have authorized. You will immediately disable User or Authorized User access to the Spend Cards if you know or believe your Lopay Account or Spend Cards have or may have been compromised or stolen or have been or may be misused, and you will promptly lock the Spend Card via your Lopay Account and notify us of any known or reasonably suspected unauthorized access or use. You are ultimately responsible for financial loss caused by you, Users, Authorized Users, or other persons given access to the Services, your Lopay Account, or Spend Cards, except as provided by Card Network rules. We may suspend access to your Lopay Account or Spend Cards if we believe your Lopay Account or Spend Cards have been compromised or that not doing so may pose a risk to you, Lopay, Issuers, or any third parties.
7. Foreign Exchange
All Charges and associated fees for Spend Cards issued by an Issuer located in the United States must be paid in USD (“Settlement Currency”). Some international Charges may clear in another currency other than your Settlement Currency and will undergo a currency conversion. For those transactions, we typically include a margin on the exchange rate selected by the Issuer or Card Network. Our margin is a currency conversion fee paid by you that will not exceed three percent (3%) of the rate applied to the local currency amount. On your statement, we will show the local currency amount prior to conversion and the amount you owe in the Settlement Currency. The exchange rate applied to your transactions may vary from time to time or among customers depending on a variety of factors, such as your relationship with us, the terms and policies of the Issuer or Card Network, the local currency, the type of transaction being conducted, the transaction amount, and the date and time of the currency exchange.
