5. The Flexewallet Product (Flexepin Cash Top-up Voucher)
A Flexepin is a cash top-up voucher that lets you top-up your existing account with an Approved Merchant. Flexepin is safer than conventional online payment methods, permitting any account holder to safely, conveniently and cost-effectively make an online top-up payment.
You can purchase Flexepin vouchers at preselected locations in exchange for cash or other cleared funds, in various pre-determined amounts. Your printed Flexepin voucher will display a numeric PIN which you need to enter on your chosen website to redeem the voucher.
Flexepin is currently available for purchase and use only within Australia.
Access to the Flexepin service is via websites, smartphone applications and portals operated by Approved Merchants. Flexepin places limits on the amount a User can obtain. This is to protect the integrity of Flexewallet’s payments system, to protect you, the User, and to comply with regulatory requirements.
You may hold up to 10 Flexepin voucher codes of up to $500 each. However, you may not hold voucher codes of more than $5,000 in total at any one time.
Each Flexepin voucher has a Use By Date. A voucher is no longer useable for transactions after that date. However, the unused value of such a voucher may be transferred to a new voucher or you may apply for a refund. You will not receive interest on the value of unused vouchers.
6. Terms and Conditions
All of the terms and conditions related to this product are located in the Terms and Conditions that can be accessed online at https://www.flexepin.com/terms-conditions.
Use of this product will mean that you agree with and accept all of the terms contained in the Terms and Conditions and all of the policies incorporated in the Terms and Conditions.
7. Commissions, fees and charges
There are generally no fees or charges payable by a Flexepin User. However:
• a $30 fee will be payable for processing a Flexepin refund more than 14 days after acquiring the voucher;
and
• a $4.00 monthly charge will apply to a voucher that has not been used before its Use By Date.
Flexewallet will receive a fee from Approved Merchants that accept Flexepin payments.
Flexewallet may increase the amount of fees and charges or introduce new fees and charges by providing two months’ notice through the Flexepin Website.
8. Benefits
Easy Access: Flexepin is a simple to use online payment option that lets you use your cash to safely and securely top-up your account and pay online. Access to the Flexepin Service is via websites, smartphone applications and portals operated by Approved Merchants.
Secure: Flexepin is more secure than conventional online payment methods, permitting a User to safely, conveniently and cost-effectively make an online top-up payment.
Convenient: Flexepin is accepted at an increasing number of Australian web sites and is perfect if you do not have or do not wish to use a payment card to pay online. Flexepin Cash Top-Up Vouchers are especially useful when making online purchases where card payments are not permitted by your bank.
9. Risks
Unauthorised use of voucher code: You are responsible for the security and integrity of your Flexepin voucher code. Flexewallet will act on any validation request submitted through an Approved Merchant without enquiry into the identity or entitlement of the User. There is a risk that you will lose the value of a Flexepin voucher if the voucher code is lost, stolen or made known to another person. Flexewallet will cancel lost or stolen voucher codes upon request as long as they remain unredeemed.
Use By Date: Each Flexepin voucher code has a Use By Date. After that date you will be unable to use that voucher code in a transaction with an Approved Merchant. However, the unused value of such a voucher may be transferred to a new voucher or you may apply for a refund up to one year after the Use By Date of the voucher.
Suspending or cancelling of Flexepin: In certain circumstances, Flexewallet or an Approved Merchant may limit a User’s ability to use their Flexepin pending an investigation. This may occur for a variety of reasons including suspected fraud, sudden changes in the amount or number of transactions by the User, irregular patterns of usage, abuse of the Flexepin service by the holder of a Flexepin voucher, or a breach of the Flexepin Terms and Conditions. In some circumstances, Flexewallet may limit the use of a Flexepin voucher pending further information. Where a User’s Flexepin voucher has been limited in accordance with the Flexepin Terms and Conditions, Flexewallet or the Approved Merchant will attempt to resolve the issue, and if the issue is resolved, will remove any restriction on the Flexepin voucher promptly. However, Users should be aware that the removal of a restriction on a Flexepin voucher may take time and during this time the User may not be able to use their account to send, receive or withdraw funds. No additional fees or interest earned will accrue during that period.
Unavailability of the Flexepin service: While Flexewallet makes every attempt to ensure that the Flexepin service is available to Users at all times, it is possible that the service may be temporarily unavailable to some or all Users from time to time. This may be caused by factors external to Flexewallet such as general internet connection issues, as well as system issues and outages associated with various mobile network operators.
