Application Use
MTC grants you the limited right to install and use this App only for your personal use on a mobile product that you own or control and as permitted by any terms of use required by the party providing the app store from which you have downloaded this App. You may not modify, copy, publish, license, sell, or otherwise commercialize this App or any information or software associated with this App. You may not rent, lease or otherwise transfer rights to this App. You may not use this App in any manner that could impair any Clipper® Participating Transit Operators’ sites in any way or interfere with any party’s use or enjoyment of any Clipper® Participating Transit Operators’ sites, including any use of this App that imposes or may impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Clipper® Participating Transit Operators’ infrastructure. You must use the App in compliance with all applicable laws.
You must comply with applicable third party terms of agreement when using this App (e.g. your wireless data service agreement). Your right to use this App is subject to immediate termination if you violate any provision of this License Agreement, the Clipper® Cardholder Agreement or any of the Clipper® Participating Transit Operators’ rules, regulations, terms and conditions.
Operating System Requirements.
The Clipper® Mobile App is available free of charge at the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
MTC works to support the latest versions of the operating systems on which the Clipper® Mobile App is deployed. You should update your mobile devices if you do not have the latest available version installed.
MTC reserves the right, without notice, to change or update from time to time the minimum operating system requirements for the Clipper® Mobile App. MTC also reserves the right to refuse to allow the Clipper® Mobile App to be fully utilized on any operating system that is behind by more than two releases. Generally, if you fail to upgrade your mobile device’s operating system to meet the minimum requirements, you will not be able to access software updates for the Clipper® Mobile App and you may no longer be able to utilize the Clipper® Mobile App from your mobile device. If this is the case, you will still be able to add value by logging onto www.clippercard.com using any browser version.
If you are unable to access Clipper® value on your Clipper® Mobile App or if you inadvertently deleted the Clipper® Mobile App and are unable to re-install it, you can notify Clipper® by going to www.clippercard.com and submitting a customer service request or by calling 1.877.878.8883.
Once you notify Clipper® that you are unable to access Clipper® value on your Clipper® Mobile App or if you inadvertently deleted the Clipper® Mobile App and are unable to re-install it, the Clipper® Customer Service Center will assist you in ensuring that any refunds (if applicable) are made directly to your funding source.
Links to Third Party Services.
This App may contain links to websites, applications, social media platforms, search engines or other products or services operated by other companies or agencies (“Third Party Services”) by allowing the user to leave the App to access third party material or by bringing the third party material into this App via “inverse” hyperlinks and framing technology (a “Linked Site”). For example, many mobile apps that MTC or the Clipper® Participating Transit Operators promote are developed and offered by third parties. All decisions as to the placement of links to external sites or pages from the Third Party Services will be made by MTC in its sole discretion. MTC and the Clipper® Participating Transit Operators have no discretion to alter, update, or control the content on a Linked Site. MTC and the Clipper® Participating Transit Operators are not responsible for the content of any Third Party Services, nor do we warrant that a Third Party Service will be free of computer viruses or other harmful code that can impact your mobile device. Third Party Services are governed by the separate terms and privacy policies and practices of such third parties. The fact that MTC has provided a link to a Third Party Service is not an endorsement, authorization, sponsorship, or affiliation with respect to such Third Party Service, its offerings, its owners, or its providers. There are inherent risks in relying upon, using or retrieving any information found on the internet. MTC and the Clipper® Participating Transit Operators urge you to make sure you understand these risks before relying upon, using, or retrieving any such information on a Linked Site. In the case of third party apps, we list or link to them merely as a convenience to our users, and MTC and the Clipper® Participating Transit Operators expressly disclaim any liability for these Third Party Services.
Third Party platform integrations.
The Clipper® Mobile App may integrate with third party platforms and Digital Wallets (defined below) and other payment services managed or owned by a third party. A mobile device wallet, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay (individually, a “Digital Wallet” and collectively, the “Digital Wallets”), allows you to store credit or debit card account information in your mobile device and select one card to be charged whenever the mobile device is used to purchase a Clipper® Card or add value to your Clipper® Card. When you use a third party platform through this App, the third party may also have access to information about you and your use of this App. Please review these third parties’ privacy policies and terms of use carefully, as MTC and the Clipper® Participating Transit Operators do not control and cannot be responsible for these parties’ privacy or information security practices.
Clipper® Cards.
There is a non-refundable $3 fee for the purchase of a Clipper® Card through this Application. MTC and the ® Participating Transit Operators do not charge any fee for adding your Clipper® Card to a Digital Wallet (i.e., Apple Pay or Google Pay). Only Clipper® Cards that MTC determines are eligible can be added to a Digital Wallet. If your Clipper® Card has been blocked or is otherwise not in good standing, that Clipper® Card will not be eligible to be added to or enrolled in a Digital Wallet.
Registration.
Registration of a Clipper® Card is optional for App users. Clipper® value purchased by anonymous users may not be replaced in the event the mobile device is lost, damaged or stolen. A registered Clipper® Card will allow a customer to use fully the services provided by the Application. You can register your Clipper® Card through the App, by going online to www.clippercard.com or by calling Clipper® Customer Service at 877.878.8883.
