hereafter. As from its acceptance by the Bank, such application, together with these specific conditions
and together with the General Terms and Conditions, to the extent these specific conditions do not

During the duration of this contract, the account/card- holder may ask at all times a copy of the

These Specific Conditions of debit cards are available in Dutch, French or English, at the

those languages. Each contract is archived for a period of five years by the Bank and the
account/card- holder may, if he so requests, obtain a copy or reproduction of the contract from the
Bank.


Article 3 - Possible uses and restrictions.

The card may only be used as an electronic payment card and subject to the introduction of the
personal and confidential code linked to the card. Subject to the cardholders ability to give the card to
a third party to use the Proton function, the card may only be used by the cardholder in accordance
with the conditions applicable at the time of its use and for Transactions which do not infringe the law.
The use of the card implies acceptance of the contract.

The card shall be available for use until the last day of the month and year stated on the card

request to the Bank, which will credit the account. This refund may take up to five weeks.

The Payment Transactions executed at the ATMs and payment terminals of Bancontact/Mister Cash
(in Belgium) or of Maestro (abroad) may in no way exceed the available balance on the account and
are further limited to the standard spending limits set by the Bank, amongst which the accountholder
and the cardholder are required to chose. In the event they did not notify their choice regarding the
different standard spending limits, the maximum spending limits shall automatically be applied by the
Bank. For the Payment Transactions executed abroad, the manager of the local network shall also be
entitled to apply his own spending limits. The account/card- holder may obtain more information from
the Bank in that regard. The Bank shall follow up on a written request from the account/card- holder
made by means of a Notification to the effect of modifying the applicable spending limits of the card

to fulfill, with intent or gross negligence, one or more of his obligations regarding the conditions of use
of the card, the security measures applicable or the Notification to address the Bank as mentioned
above. In particular, without prejudice to the discretionary power of judgment of the courts and the
necessity to take into account all elements of facts, failure for the account/card- holder to observe the
precaution measures mentioned under article 8, numbers 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 above shall be considered
as a gross negligence.
