  • any reference to a lost or stolen 'card' includes a lost or stolen Fitbit Device despite Bankwest not issuing the Fitbit Device.

4. Why have Fitbit Pay Terms of Use

When you or an Additional Cardholder register a Bankwest Card for Fitbit Pay on an eligible Fitbit Device, it is necessary to allocate certain rights and obligations in relation to the use of Fitbit Pay which may not be addressed in the Account Terms.

The Fitbit Pay Terms of Use will apply to your account any time a Bankwest Card, linked to your account is loaded on to a Fitbit Device, even where the Fitbit Device may not belong to you. Please refer to the security measures outlined in Clause 8 on how to keep a Bankwest Card and the Fitbit Device safe. A failure to keep them safe may result in liability for you.

These Fitbit Pay Terms of Use must be read in conjunction with the Account Terms, as Fitbit Pay is governed by both. However, if there is any inconsistency between them, these Fitbit Pay Terms of Use will apply to the extent of the inconsistency.

Any reference to a ‘mobile device’ in the Account Terms includes a Fitbit Device.

5. Amending the Fitbit Pay Terms of Use

You must take steps to secure the Fitbit Device on which a Bankwest Card linked to your account has been registered, including by the following:

  • where the Fitbit Device can be accessed by a biometric identifier, the cardholder must ensure only the cardholder's biometric identifier is registered on the Fitbit Device;
  • where the Fitbit Device is accessible by Passcode, the Passcode must be kept secure by the cardholder. It must not be disclosed to anyone else (even a family member), a record of the Passcode must not be kept with the Fitbit Device, or with or in anything with which the Fitbit Device is stored unless reasonable steps have been taken to protect it;
  • any Passcode selected must not be easy to guess or decipher, such as the cardholder's date of birth or other number associated with the cardholder;
  • a cardholder must not act with extreme carelessness in relation to the security of the Passcode;
  • a cardholder must ensure the Fitbit Device is locked at all times when it is not being used, and is not left unattended in a non-secure environment;
  • a cardholder must install and regularly update anti-virus software on the Fitbit Device;
  • a cardholder must ensure that only the cardholder accesses the Fitbit Device to use the cardholder's Bankwest Card and that it is not accessed or used by anyone else, even if that person has the cardholder's permission; and
  • a cardholder must remove any Bankwest Card from the cardholder's Fitbit Device before disposing of the Fitbit Device.

If a cardholder no longer wishes to use a Bankwest Card with Fitbit Pay, the Bankwest Card should be removed from Fitbit Pay prior to deleting or uninstalling it on the Fitbit Device. Other ways to ensure that your Bankwest Card cannot be used with Fitbit Pay on your Fitbit Device include:

  • Removing the Fitbit account to which the Bankwest Card was added in Fitbit Pay;
  • Undertaking a factory reset of the Fitbit Device; and
  • Erasing the Fitbit Device on a device manager.

We will not be liable for any loss caused by your fraud or use of Fitbit Pay or the Fitbit Device in a manner not permitted by Fitbit. We will also not be liable for any loss arising from reduced service levels that are outside our reasonable control.

9. Your liability for Fitbit Pay transactions

WARNING: The account holder will be liable where a cardholder does not comply with the above security steps in Clause 8 and will not be able to rely on the protections from liability contained within Account Terms dealing with unauthorised transactions.

Biometric identifiers and passcodes

If another person's biometric identifier is loaded onto a Fitbit Device, including onto the Fitbit Device of an Additional Cardholder, you must take immediate steps to ensure that the biometric identifier is removed from the relevant Fitbit Device, otherwise any such transaction will not be an unauthorised transaction for the purposes of determining liability.

If the security of your, or an Additional Cardholder's, Passcode has been compromised, or you believe that it may be known to another person, you must take immediate steps to change the Passcode.

Reporting security concerns to Bankwest

You must notify Bankwest immediately if:

  • you, or any Additional Cardholder's Fitbit Device, is stolen or is disconnected without the knowledge or permission of you or the Additional Cardholder;
  • you, or any Additional Cardholder, suspect that someone has used the Fitbit Device's Passcode, Bankwest Card PIN, or otherwise tried to access the Fitbit Device or Fitbit Device wallet.

10. When Bankwest may suspend or terminate a Bankwest Card on Fitbit Pay

Bankwest may suspend or terminate a Bankwest Card linked to your account and registered with Fitbit Pay if:

  • you ask us to suspend or cancel the card;
  • either you or the Additional Cardholder breach these terms;
  • we, or Fitbit, reasonably suspect fraud or if we are required to do so under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing legislation;
  • Fitbit suspends or terminates Fitbit Pay; or
  • we reasonably exercise our discretion to do so, as noted in the Account Terms.
