The Customer shall be liable for all Transactions made with a lost, stolen or duplicated Card (including all Transactions made with a duplicate of the Card) for a period of two (2) Business Days after the Supplier has received notification from Customer that the Card has been lost or stolen. However, if after two (2) Business Days Transactions are made with the lost, stolen or duplicated Card using the correct PIN, the Customer will remain liable for such Transactions until the lost, stolen or duplicated Card has been blocked, which the Supplier shall inform the Card Supplier to do as soon as reasonably practicable. In addition, if after notification by the Customer that a Card is lost, stolen or duplicated, the Card is used by the Cardholder, the Customer will remain liable for such Transactions and the Supplier may make such reasonable charge to the Customer as appropriate to cover the expenses incurred by the Supplier as a result of Customer's notification. The Customer shall be liable in respect of all Transactions made with a Card with a compromised PIN until (i) the Customer has given notification to the Supplier as detailed in above; and (ii) until the Card Supplier has received the compromised Card with the top corners cut off.
