Apple Pay Terms and Conditions | Summit Credit Union

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of eligible debit or credit cards issued by Summit Credit Union (each, a “Payment Card”) when you add, attempt to add, or keep a Payment Card in the Apple Pay™ wallet (“Wallet”) on any iPhone®, iPad®, or other mobile device (“Device”) that supports the Wallet.

These Terms and Conditions also represent your agreement with Summit Credit Union (“Summit CU”) regarding the use of your eligible debit or credit card account with the Apple Pay service. Within these Terms, “you”, “your”, or “user” refer to the member whose name is located on the Payment Card or any authorized user of the Payment Card. “Summit CU”, “we”, “our”, or “us” refer to Summit CU. The Apple Pay service herein includes the Wallet.

I. Apple Pay & Mobile Wallet Service

Apple Pay is available for the purpose of purchasing goods and services using a compatible wireless mobile phone or device with merchants who accept Apple Pay as a form of payment. Apple Pay enables you to create and store virtual representations of your eligible Summit CU debit or credit cards and add account information on your supported device creating a mobile Wallet that will permit you to use your Wallet to authorize and make payments at merchant’s point of sale terminals or readers without your plastic Payment Card. Your Wallet may not be accepted at all places where your Payment Card is accepted. The purchase transactions with your Payment Card as a Wallet will still be governed by your Summit Payment Card Agreements. Apple Terms & Conditions for the Service describe your rights and obligations regarding the Service.

II. Relationship to Apple

The Apple Pay service is a service offered exclusively by Apple using eligible Apple devices. Summit CU does not own, operate, or control Apple Pay (including the Wallet), and is not responsible for any service provided to you by Apple or by any third party engaged by Apple. We likewise are not responsible for any information or other services provided to you by Apple or any other third parties associated with the Apple Pay service. We are not liable for any failure or performance of the Apple Pay service.

You understand that your use of the Apple Pay service will also be subject to agreements or terms of use with Apple Inc. or other parties. Apple and Apple Pay are registered trademarks of Apple Inc.

III. Relationships to Other Agreements

Your enrollment into the Apple Pay service does not impact any other agreement we have with you. The terms of use for your Payment Card which were provided to you at account opening and amended from time to time remain in full force and effect regardless of whether or not you use the Apple Pay service. Your cardholder agreements with us contain arbitration provisions which also apply to your use of your Payment Card through the Apple Pay service. For the avoidance of confusion, any transaction you make with your enrolled Summit CU Payment Card using the Apple Pay service will be considered the same as if you had used your Payment Card in person to conduct the transaction and all applicable fees and interest (in the event of an enrolled credit card) will apply per the terms of your cardholder agreement with us.

IV. Eligibility

In order for us to authorize your use of your Summit CU issued Payment Card within the Apple Pay service, your Payment Card and the underlying account must be in good standing and you must not be restricted from using Apple Pay based upon any limitations imposed by Apple, your wireless service provider, and / or any third party associated with Apple Pay.

V. Device Eligibility

You are required to have an eligible Apple device in order to use this service. Apple, at its sole discretion, determines which Apple devices are eligible to be used with the Apple Pay service. Devices which have been unlocked in an unauthorized fashion (“jail-broken”) or otherwise modified are not eligible to use Apple Pay.

You acknowledge that use of an ineligible mobile device with the Apple Pay service is expressly prohibited, constitutes a breach of these Terms and is grounds for us to temporarily suspend, permanently terminate, or otherwise deny further access to your Payment Card in the Apple Pay service. We are not liable to you for the effects (third party or otherwise) of such termination or suspension.
