Apple Pay Terms and Conditions

These Terms of Use for Apple Pay (“Terms”) apply when you add an eligible AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card to, and otherwise use, the Apple Pay service offered by Apple, Inc. and/or its agents (“Apple Pay Provider”). In these Terms, “you” and “your” refer to the cardholder of the AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card, and “we”, “our”, and “AVIDIA BANK” refer to the issuer of your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card, which is Avidia Bank of Hudson Massachusetts. When you enroll your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card to use Apple Pay you agree to these Terms.

Apple Pay Apple Pay allows you to store virtual representations of credit and debit cards on your supported iOS mobile device to make contactless payments at select merchants utilizing the merchant’s contactless terminal or in­-app or other digital commerce payments at merchants participating in the Apple Pay service.

Enrolling an AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card in Apple Pay You can enroll an eligible AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card in Apple Pay by inputting your Credit or Debit Card information into the Apple Pay application of your compatible iOS mobile device consistent with the Apple Pay application’s instructions. Only those AVIDIA BANK Cards that we specify and approve are eligible and can be enrolled to be used with the Apple Pay service. Any account information entered into the Apple Pay application is provided by you and you are solely responsible for the completeness and accuracy of this account information. When you enroll your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card in Apple Pay, you are permitted to use your compatible iOS mobile device to pay for purchases with your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card account where ever Apple Pay is accepted. Apple Pay may not be utilized or accepted at all places where your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card is accepted.

Your Credit or Debit Card Agreement Continues to Apply These Terms form a part of and are in addition to your AVIDIA BANK MasterCard Credit or Debit Card Agreement and Disclosure Statement (Consumer & Business). In the event of conflicts between the Terms and those terms of the Credit or Debit Card Agreement, these Terms shall control. The terms of the Credit or Debit Card Agreement continue to apply to your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card and do not change when you add your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card to the Apple Pay application. Apple Pay simply provides another method for you to make purchases with your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card. Any applicable interest, fees, and charges that apply to your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card will also apply when you use Apple Pay to access your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card.

Third Party Fees and Charges AVIDIA BANK does not charge you any additional fees for adding your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card to Apple Pay or using Apple Pay to pay for a transaction using your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card. Third parties such as wireless companies or data service providers may charge you fees for enrolling in and using Apple Pay and you are responsible for any such wireless carrier data or usage fees incurred.

AVIDIA BANK Is not Responsible for Apple Pay We are not the provider of Apple Pay, and we are not responsible for providing the Apple Pay service to you. We are not responsible for any failure of the Apple Pay service, or your inability to use Apple Pay for any transaction. We are not responsible for the performance or non-performance of the Apple Pay Provider or any other third parties regarding any agreement you enter into with the Apple Pay Provider or associated third party relationships that may impact your use of Apple Pay.

No Illegal Use You agree not to use your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card and Apple Pay for illegal or fraudulent purposes, or any other purposes which are prohibited by the Apple Pay application license and these Terms. You further agree to use your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card and Apple Pay in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Security You are responsible for keeping your Apple Pay login and credentials private and secure. After enrolling in Apple Pay, you should secure your mobile device with the same care you would your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card, cash, checks and other personal identification numbers and passwords in order to avoid unauthorized use of your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card account(s). If you share your credentials with any other person, they may be able to use your iOS mobile device and get access to your personal and payment information available through the Apple Pay service. You should call us immediately if you believe your iOS mobile device or authentication credentials have been lost, stolen or compromised in any way or an unauthorized person has used or may use your credentials without your authorization.

Privacy Your privacy and the security of your information are important to us. The U.S. Consumer Privacy Notice available online at (https://www.avidiabank.com/samsung-android-pay-terms-and-conditions) applies to your use of your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card with Apple Pay. You agree that we may share your information with the Apple Pay Provider and its agents, any payment network, and others in order to provide the services you have requested, to make information available to you about your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card transactions, and to improve your ability to use these services. This information helps us to enable you to enroll your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card in Apple Pay and to maintain your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card for the use of Apple Pay. We do not control the privacy and security of your information that may be held by the Apple Pay Provider and its agents, and that is governed by the privacy policy given to you by the Provider when you sign up for and enroll in Apple Pay. When you enroll your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card in and use Apple Pay, personal information you provide about you and your card are transmitted through third party connections and may be collected by the Apple Pay Provider in order to determine your eligibility and otherwise enable you to use Apple Pay. Because we do not operate or control these third party connections, we cannot guarantee the security or privacy of the transmissions of your information.

Removing Your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card from Apple Pay You should contact the Apple Pay Provider to determine how to remove your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card from the Apple Pay service. If you remove your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card from the Apple Pay application and service and subsequently re-enroll your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card in Apple Pay, your use of Apple Pay will be subject to the AVIDIA BANK Terms of Use for Apple Pay then in effect. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we reserve the right to restrict, suspend or terminate your use of your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card with Apply Pay at any time without notice and for any reason, including if you violate these Terms or the terms of the Credit or Debit Card Agreement. This right to restrict, suspend or terminate your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card may be at any time and from time to time and either temporarily or permanently. You further understand and acknowledge that the Apple Pay Provider may suspend your ability to use your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card with the Apple Pay service in accordance with the terms and conditions you agree to when enrolling in Apple Pay. You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for any restriction, suspension or termination of your use of your AVIDIA BANK Credit or Debit Card with Apple Pay.

Terminating or Changing these Terms We can terminate these Terms at any time with or without prior advance notice, however, we will provide notice if required by law.

AVIDIA BANK disclaims any responsibility for the Apple Pay service or any wireless service used to access, use or maintain Apple Pay. Use of Apple Pay involves the electronic transmission of personal information through third party connections. Because we do not operate or control these connections, we cannot guarantee the privacy or security of these data transmissions. Additionally, your supported iOS device’s browser is generally pre-configured by your wireless carrier. Check with the Apple Pay Provider and your wireless carrier for information about their privacy and security practices. For personal or confidential information sent to or from AVIDIA BANK over the internet from your supported iOS mobile device, we reserve the right to limit such connections to “secure sessions” that have been established using transportation layer security or other security standards we select. We make no guarantees about the information shown in the Apple Pay service.
