3. Buying a Card
We have a relationship with a number of Retail Outlets ("Retail Outlets") who sell the Cards. Our Storelocator facility on our website displays the Retail Outlets close to your location.
3.2 The Cards can be purchased from Retail Outlets. The Cards will only be issued by a Retail Outlet upon payment by you of the value printed on the Card ("Card Value") plus the Activation Fee (see Fees section above).
3.3 You can purchase up to 10 Cards from a Retail Outlet at any one time. An Activation Fee is payable for each Card purchased.
3.4 Each Card is allocated its own unique Personal Identification Number ("PIN"). When you purchase a Card, the Retail Outlet will issue you with a receipt showing your PIN. If the Retail Outlet is an electronic retailer, the receipt showing your PIN will be in electronic form, and you should print this out for safekeeping. Each Card is valid for an indefinite period of time commencing on the date it was purchased.
4. Using a Card
4.1 You may use our Cards with those online retailers and service providers which accept Cash-Ticket as a payment method ("Webshops"). Once you have purchased a Card, you can use it to purchase products and services in these Webshops.
4.2 You may use your Card as often as you like to purchase goods or services up to a total of the Card Value.
4.3 You may use up to 10 Cards on the same transaction. The maximum payment amount per transaction may not exceed €1,000.

If you are paying for goods and services in another currency, the amount payable shall be converted to euro at the published exchange rate on the Website (Weblink: http://www.cash-ticket.com/exchange/exchange.php?language=en) on the day of the transaction. The applicable exchange rate will also be shown at the time of the transaction.

4.8 You can check the balance of your Card at any time on the Website.
4.9 You can check the transaction record of each Card at any time on the Website.
4.10 If you find that your Card is defective, you should tell us immediately, either by phone (0818 27 27 72) or by e-mail (info@cash-ticket.com). If it is not possible to remedy the defect, we will issue you with a new Card. If the Card Value of the newly issued Card is higher than the balance on the defective Card, you may be required to pay additional funds to us to cover the difference. This does not affect your statutory rights.
5. Your right to a refund
You may request a refund of the funds on your Card provided that you have more than €10 (or equivalent) remaining on the Card. To do so, send us an e-mail to info@cash-ticket.com requesting a refund or call customer services on 0818 27 27 72. Before we can refund the funds to you we will need you to provide us with the serial number of the Card, the value left on your Card, your full name, email address and a contact number as well as your personal bank account details where you would like us to transfer the money. To enable us to comply with our legal obligations, we may ask you to provide us with certain other information before we can process your refund request. A Card Redemption Fee will apply (see Fees section above).
6. Cancellation
6.1 Subject to section 5, you have a legal right to cancel your Card up to 14 days after you purchase it or anytime after 12 months from the date you purchased it without being charged any cancellation fee. Under these Terms of Business, you also have the right to cancel a Card at any time after this 14 day period for a refund of the balance on your Card (in accordance with Section 5 above). If you cancel a Card we will block it the next working day (Monday to Friday) so it cannot be used.
6.2 You will not be entitled to a refund of money that you have already spent on goods or services, or the Activation Fee.
6.3 If you cancel a Card, once all transactions and applicable fees have been deducted subject to Section 5 above, we will arrange for any unused funds to be refunded to you.
6.4 We may block or cancel a Card immediately if we suspect any fraud or misuse of a Card occurring, if we have other security concerns, or if we need to do so to comply with the law or an order of court or other competent authority. We will issue you with a replacement Card if you contact us and if we believe such circumstances no longer apply. If the Card value of the newly issued Card is higher than the balance on the defective Card, you will be required to pay additional funds to us to cover the difference.

The exchanged rate used and the amount which will be debited from the Card will also be shown at the time of the transaction.
7.2 Notwithstanding clause 7.1 above, on an exception basis some online Retail Outlets may issue Cards in another currency.

If you believe confirmation is corrupted in any way, then you must inform us by phone (0818 27 27 72) or by e-mail (info@cash-ticket.com) stating the serial number of the Card. If you are unable to read either the PIN or the serial number of the Card then you must send us a copy of the print out by fax (fax no: +43 1 720 83 80 12) or by e-mail (info@cash-ticket.com).

If you cannot read both, the PIN and the serial number, please contact the Retail Outlet where you purchased your Card.

If you believe your card has been stolen, you must inform us immediately. In either case you can notify us or inform us by phone (0818 27 27 72) or by e-mail (info@cash-ticket.com) so that any remaining balance on the Card can be blocked.

8.6 Unless we have reason to suspect fraud, deliberate or negligent behaviour on your part and as long as your claim is made within the time limit specified in 8.5 above, we will issue a new card for the amount under investigation
8.7 Before we issue you with a new Card you must provide us with proof of purchase of the stolen/abused Card.
