Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Loss liability depends on your actions or failure to act

Epic excludes liability for losses you incur resulting from your own actions or inaction, including another person using your balance with or without your knowledge. Conversely, you are liable for Epic’s losses caused by someone else using your balance if your actions or inaction caused them. The clause does not say you must reimburse every unauthorized-use loss regardless of cause.

Details not recorded for this card

Supporting quotations

Epic will not be liable for any loss that you may incur resulting from your actions or failure to act, such as someone else using your Epic Account Balance, either with or without your knowledge. However, you will be liable for losses incurred by Epic due to someone else using your Epic Account Balance if caused by your actions or failure to act.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Both allocations retain the stated connection to your actions or failure to act.

Cross-references

  • narrows (model-proposed): You are responsible for all uses of your balance — General responsibility for balance use must be read with the separate loss clause: its allocations retain the stated causal connection to the holder’s actions or failure to act.

The arbitration and class-action waiver do not apply to EU residents. Acceptance of these terms accepts those provisions, but these balance terms control conflicts about balance access and use.
