It is especially important that you keep your registered e-mail address up-to-date as this is the method by which we will contact you if there are any issues with your LoyLap Member Account. It is also the means by which the Merchant(s) can communicate with you if they so choose. LoyLap reserves the right to suspend or terminate the LoyLap Member Account of any Member who provides inaccurate, untrue, or incomplete information, or who fails to comply with any of the foregoing account registration requirements.

LoyLap accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any Transaction where monies are prepaid by Members to Merchants. You agree and understand that all monies prepaid through any Transaction may be non-refundable.

- Loss or Non-Permitted Use.
- It is your responsibility to ensure that your mobile device and LoyLap Card are kept safe and in a secure place at all times. We strongly recommend that your mobile device is secured by way of a pin-code, password or your mobile device’s equivalent. In the event that your mobile device and/or LoyLap Card is lost, stolen or otherwise used without your permission, LoyLap accepts no responsibility and excludes all liability for any loss suffered by you as a result of such non-permitted use. Notwithstanding this, if your mobile device or LoyLap Card is lost, stolen or otherwise used without your permission you should contact us through the Services.
