B, 1st Registration. Bank of Spain Registry: 6707), which allows the User to pay for goods and services in places that accept VISA cards and to make purchases through the internet, as long as the website supports this means of payment.

The request of a TiC card will imply the User’s consent in relation to the charges that TiC makes in the User Account as a result of the transactions and arrangements made with said additional cards. The balance of the card will not accrue, in any case, interest or any other type of payments in favor of the User.

The use of the TiC card can be made in accordance with the instructions for use established by TiC in these Conditions and in the Application, without prejudice to the power that TiC has to modify such instructions for use. The modifications will be published in the Application. They will take effect thirty calendar days after their publication, unless expressly indicated otherwise.

The maximum total amount of operations that may be carried out will be determined, at any time, by the amount available in the User Account.

Each operation will be registered by TiC and the User may access such information through the Application. The transaction information will be reflected in accordance with the information received from the invoice, POS terminal, electronic registration terminals and/or authorization of operations, reading of its magnetic strip or electronic chip or any other means of identification established in the conditions of use of the TiC card, including when showing ID or the use of a PIN and/or signature is not required.

The same will also be applicable for purchases where the TiC card is not present, including over the internet.

The use of the TiC card will be presumed by the mere registration of the transaction in the TiC computer files.

The User expressly authorizes TiC to settle in the User Account the operations carried out by the User when the User has consented to them. It will be understood that the User has consented to the operation, when it has been carried out through any of the channels provided by TiC.

Likewise, the User accepts that the User Account serves as an accounting support to carry out operations using any means of payment that is associated with it, in this case only the TiC card.

All those that are duly authorized by the User, or in charge of any of them, will be admitted as User Account debts.

4.4 Personal identification number (PIN)

With the issuance of the TiC card, TiC provides a personal identification number (hereinafter PIN), which the User, if applicable, may modify and that will be required for the authorization of the payment transaction, in order to prove that they are the legitimate owner of the TiC card. This PIN will be requested by the User through the Application and/or when using the TiC card for ATM and POS transactions. The PIN must be kept secret, without informing third parties or writing it down or keeping it in a way that allows a third person to have access to it.

If a third party knows the User’s PIN and makes use of the TiC card, the acts that the third party performs will bind the User, assuming the cost and risk of such operations and dispositions, without TiC being able to assume any responsibility.

The User must notify TiC, without undue delay, the loss or theft of the TiC card or the PIN number, or the knowledge of it by a third party. Upon receiving this communication, TiC will take the necessary measures to prevent the use of the TiC card.

4.5 Use of TiC card abroad

For the debit of the amounts derived from the use of the TiC card abroad, the exchange rate will be applied to the currency of the User Account based on the currency of the country of origin of the transaction corresponding to the day on which TiC has paid the amount of the operation.

The exchange rate to the currency of the User Account on the currency in which the payment is made will be carried out in the terms established by International Visa (for more information consult their website).

The User Account may not reflect a negative balance derived from the operations carried out by the User, and will therefore be obliged to have a sufficient balance for each transaction requested.

The User will be subject to the current legislation regulating the currency exchange limits set by the competent monetary authorities for expenses abroad. If applicable, the User will respond for the breach of said regulations, and no responsibility can be attributed to TiC. The expenses incurred must be justified by the holder before any authorities that require it, and TiC will not be liable for any breach by the holder.

4.6 Validity of the TiC cards

The TiC card will be valid until its expiration date printed on the TiC card. In the case of renewal of the TiC card, upon its expiration date, a new TiC card will be sent by post to the customer, with thirty calendar days prior to said date, applying, in each case, the renewal conditions applicable for individuals at that time.

The renewed TiC card will be issued with a new TiC card number, which will maintain the same relationship with the original User Account and, therefore, will maintain its terms of use and available balance in that account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, TiC reserves the right to cancel or modify the validity date of the TiC cards during the term of their validity, as well as not to renew them upon expiration, with the User having revoked all rights related to its use.

If the User cancels the User Account to which it is associated, the TiC card will be canceled simultaneously. The User must reimburse TiC for the amount, if any, of the debt and expenses incurred that are pending payment, Contract with the User being terminated.
