1. YOUR CARD MEMBER AGREEMENT

In addition to these Terms of Use, use of your Eligible Card when connected to your Amex Band is governed by the applicable Card Member Agreement that governs the use of your Eligible Card. By connecting or using your Amex Band, you agree to be subject to and comply with the terms of these Terms of Use and as always, the Card Member Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Use and your Card Member Agreement, the Card Member Agreement shall apply and supersede these Terms of Use with respect to Amex’s rights and obligations. 

2. USE OF YOUR AMEX BAND

The Amex Band enables you to connect an Eligible Card to permit you to use your Amex Band to access the Benefits and make contactless payments at merchants’ contactless-enabled point-of-sale terminals or readers that accept American Express contactless payments in the U.S. The embedded payment chip representing your Eligible Card is located behind the Amex logo on the face of the Amex Band. By placing your Amex Band near the terminal or reader, you are authorizing the payment for the merchant’s products or services with your Eligible Card.
Some merchants may require a customer signature at point-of-sale to complete the transaction. In some cases, a merchant may ask to verify the last few digits of your Card number for purchases or returns. To complete transactions above a certain dollar amount, merchants may also require presentation of a physical companion card or a government-issued form of identification to authenticate your identity.
Only one Card may be connected to Your Amex Band. Once you connect an Eligible Card to an Amex Band, you will not be able to connect a different Card to the same Amex Band. However, if we switch or replace the details of your plastic Card and your Card Account remains open (for example, if your plastic Card is lost or stolen), this will not disrupt your use of your Amex Payments for Amex Band. If your Card account is cancelled for any reason, you will no longer be able to make payments with your Amex Band.

You will be responsible for all use of the Amex Band made by third parties that you give access to your Amex Band, including if these third parties misuse your Amex Band.

Expiration of Payment Capability
The Benefits provided to Card Members with the Amex Band, including the contactless payment capability for this Amex Band, will expire and cease to function on September 9, 2018 (or, if final day of tournament play is extended, September 10, 2018). After this date, the Amex Band will be automatically removed from the account of the Eligible Card.

As noted above, you may only connect one Eligible Card to one Amex Band. However, if your previously activated Amex Band has been removed from your Eligible Card account for any reason, and you would subsequently like to reconnect that same Eligible Card to an Amex Band, you must connect the same Eligible Card to a new Amex Band.
