Inapplicability of any MasterCard Payment Card Cardholder Agreement

MasterCard is NOT a financial institution and does not issue credit, debit, check or payment cards of any type of nature. Your MasterCard-branded payment card relationship is with an issuing bank or financial institution, and not with MasterCard directly. Any and all questions or issues regarding your MasterCard-branded payment card or cardholder account should be directed to the bank or financial institution that issued your card, and not to MasterCard. While MasterCard likewise has a relationship with your bank or financial institution, that relationship does not pertain to individual cardholders or payment card accounts.

The MasterCard Sites are operated by MasterCard and its affiliates, and not the various financial institutions that issue MasterCard-branded payment cards. None of the terms of any agreement between a MasterCard cardholder and the bank or financial institution that issued such card has any effect on, or relationship with or to, these Terms of Use.
