We may refer fraudulent or abusive or illegal activity to the relevant authorities.
5. Starbucks may add, vary, enforce or implement any security measures to the App as Starbucks considers appropriate from time to time. These measures may vary the way you use the App.

3. Starbucks Rewards Mobile App

3.1 Keeping the App up to date

We release new versions of the App from time to time. Please keep the App updated to the most current version at all times. Older versions of the App may not function properly, or at all.

3.2 Mobile data usage

The App requires mobile internet connectivity to function properly. It will consume data from your mobile device. You are responsible for any data charges that you may incur in using the App.

3.3 Starbucks Card

The App allows you to display your Starbucks Card so that it can be scanned at our point of sale terminals. You may need to present your Starbucks Card in order to interact with certain Features. Please increase the brightness of your screen when scanning your Starbucks Card at the terminal. The Starbucks Card is unique and linked to your Starbucks Account.

3.4 Location information

1. Some Features of the App may require you to consent to Starbucks and our third party service providers accessing information about your current location. For example, the App may require information about your current location to help you find your closest Starbucks Store.
2. Starbucks collects and uses your location information to provide the functionalities of those Features. The Features may implement software components (for example mapping services) that are provided by third parties. Those third parties may gather and report information about you in connection with your use of the App for the purpose of providing those components.
3. The App will seek your permission by a pop message on your Device, and you indicate your consent by enabling location services and giving the App the requested permission through your Device’s native operating system. You can also change these settings from time to time directly on the Device’s operating system.
4. If you do not enable location services and give the App the requested permissions, then certain Features of the App may not function properly, or at all.
5. You must not manipulate the location information reported by your Device when using the App (even if such manipulation is a feature of the Device, for example, under “developer options”). Starbucks may suspend or cancel your Starbucks Account if Starbucks has reasonable grounds to suspect that the location information reported by your Device has been manipulated.

4. Advertising

4.1 You acknowledge and agree that:

1. the App may feature advertisements from Starbucks from time to time; and
2. Starbucks is not responsible for the content of any third party advertisements, nor the content of any website or other materials that may be linked to by third party advertisements, and you view such third party websites and materials at your sole risk.

4.2 The App may also send push notifications to you via your Device’s native operating system (for example, to notify you of a promotion available at a nearby store, or to remind you of upcoming expiry of promotions). Depending on your Device’s native operation system and your settings, these push notifications may appear as a pop up box, a “badge” on the Apps icon or a message in the notification centre of your Device. You can manage push notifications directly in the settings of your Device.

5.7 We may, from time to time, seek your consent for you to receive direct marketing communications from us about our products and services that we consider may be of interest to you. If you have given your consent (including in your previous dealings with Starbucks and our products or services), then we may send you direct marketing communications, and may collect, use and disclose your personal information for such purpose.

Where we share your personal information with such entities, we will do so in compliance with Australian privacy laws and will take reasonable steps to ensure that such entities agree to similarly protect that information.

5.11 We will otherwise collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with Starbucks’ privacy policy (available at www.starbucks.com.au/privacy-policy) which contains details of how you can access information we hold about you, how you can ask for any information to be corrected, and the process we follow to respond to any complaints about our management of personal information.

You can add balance to your Starbucks Account in pre-determined or custom increments in any Starbucks Store using any of the accepted tender types (cash, debit or credit card, Apple or Google Pay).

17.4 Your Account Balance

1. Payments via the App are processed by our third party provider and are pursuant to the following conditions:
   1. You must be fully entitled to use your nominated payment method.
   2. It is your responsibility to ensure your nominated payment method details are valid and up to date and that sufficient funds or credit facilities are available at the time of payment processing to cover the purchase.
   3. Payment for orders will be processed immediately.
   4. We reserve the right to obtain validation of your payment details before approving your payment and carry out security checks from time to time. If your nominated payment method triggers fraud prevention protocols (i.e. your credit or debit card has expired, has been reported stolen by your bank) or where your nominated payment method is unable to be used for any other reason, your transaction may be rescinded. You will be notified via the App that your payment was unsuccessful.
   5. Starbucks does not see nor store details of your nominated payment methods. All payment information is collected, processed and stored by our third party service provider in order for your transactions to be processed as required.
   6. Starbucks reserves the right to investigate all accounts where we suspect incorrect or fraudulent activity has occurred. If we reasonably suspect fraud or illegality, we reserve the right to place a hold on your account and prevent it being used. We can prevent an account being used where we reasonably believe that allowing it to be used may cause harm to any person (including us or a Starbucks Store). If we reasonably believe that value loaded to an account is the result of any fraud or illegality, we can cancel that value at any time without liability to the holder of the account. We will consider in good faith any information from the holder of the account to show that value has been loaded lawfully.
2. You are not required to pay GST on the value loaded to your account. However, GST will be included in the value of any goods and services you obtain using your account.
3. Your Starbucks Account can have a balance of no more than AUD $500. A reload transaction will not be processed if it would cause this limit to be exceeded.
4. The maximum amount of a single reload transaction is AUD$200.
5. Your Starbucks Account is not a deposit facility. You are able to use the balance to obtain goods and services at Starbucks Stores, but you have no other rights to use value that are not expressly provided in these Conditions. In particular, there is no right to receive monetary value or cash in exchange for value loaded to your Starbucks Account – you cannot ask us to return any amount loaded to your account to you (subject to your rights under consumer protection laws).
6. Starbucks does not charge fees or charges for the issue of a gift card or for loading funds to your Starbucks Account.
7. However, there may be fees and charges associated with the method by which you choose to load funds in your Starbucks Account. These fees and charges may be subject to change, but you will be notified of these fees and charges prior to being charged.
