Terms and Conditions (Botswana)

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the PRIS Africa mobile application, its closed-loop wallet functionality, and the loyalty programme made available in Botswana. By registering for an account, accessing, or using PRIS, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Definitions

  • "PRIS" means Puma Energy's mobile application, closed-loop wallet, and loyalty programme offered in Botswana.
  • "Wallet" means a stored-value facility usable only at participating Puma Energy service stations (and other participating Puma locations) in Botswana.
  • "Points" means loyalty points accrued on qualifying purchases and redeemable in accordance with the then-current redemption rules and rates.
  • "QR Payments" means a payment method that uses QR codes to debit value from your Wallet at participating locations.
  • "PIN" means the confidential personal identification number used for redemption and certain account actions.

2. Eligibility & Account

  • You must be 18 years or older, or have the consent of a parent/guardian, to use PRIS.
  • You must provide accurate, complete, and current information and keep your contact details updated.
  • You are responsible for all activity under your account.
  • Accounts inactive for 12 consecutive months may be subject to closure, and any remaining Wallet balance or Points may be forfeited.

3. Wallet (Closed‑Loop) & QR Payments

  • The Wallet is closed‑loop and may only be used at participating Puma Energy stations in Botswana.
  • Wallet value and Points are not legal tender, are non‑transferable (except via enabled in‑app features), and cannot be redeemed for cash.
  • QR code payments deduct your Wallet balance instantly; please review amounts before confirming.
  • We may place reasonable limits on top‑ups, balance, and daily spend to manage risk and comply with law.
  • The Wallet and your account are not a credit facility.
  • All Wallet balances and transactions are denominated in Botswana Pula (BWP) unless otherwise stated.
  • Wallet balances do not accrue interest.

4. Family Sharing & Security

  • Family sharing is permitted but entirely at your risk. Only share access with trusted persons.
  • Keep your PIN secure. You are responsible for transactions performed using your PIN.
  • Notify us immediately via prisafrica@pumaenergy.freshdesk.com if you suspect unauthorised use; we may suspend or block the account while we investigate.
  • The primary account holder assumes full responsibility for all transactions and activities conducted by any person granted access through Family Sharing features.

5. Points: Earning, Redemption, and Expiry

  • You earn Points on qualifying purchases and promotions as communicated from time to time.
  • Redemption requires a valid PIN. We may vary the items eligible for redemption and the number of Points required.
  • Redemption values (points to benefit) may change without prior notice. The current rates are always available on the PRIS website/app.
  • Unless stated otherwise, Points expire 12 months after issuance. Expired Points cannot be reinstated.
  • Some rewards or benefits may be supplied by third party vendors, partners or service providers.
  • Points are non-transferable except as permitted by in-app features and hold no cash value. Points cannot be purchased or sold.

6. Fees and Statements

  • We do not currently charge account maintenance fees. We may introduce reasonable fees in the future, and will publish changes on the PRIS website/app.
  • You can view recent transactions and Points activity in the app. Please report discrepancies within 30 days.

  • Illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, or abusive conduct;
  • Tampering with the app, Wallet, or redemption mechanisms;
  • Selling or trading Wallet value or Points outside PRIS policies.

8. Errors, Reversals, and Fraud

  • If an error occurs (e.g., technical failure, duplicate charge), notify us promptly. We may reverse or adjust transactions where appropriate.
  • Transaction discrepancies or unauthorised activities must be reported within 30 days of the transaction date. Failure to report within this period may result in the denial of a claim.
  • We may suspend, limit, or close accounts, and forfeit Points obtained through misuse, abuse or fraud.

9. Service Changes and Availability

  • We may add, remove, or modify features, stations, or eligibility criteria.
  • Service may be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades, or events beyond our control.
  • Puma Energy reserves the right to discontinue the PRIS programme or any of its features at any time, with notice provided to users as practicable.

10. Security and Unauthorised Use

  • You are at all times responsible for keeping your PIN safe. We shall presume that any transactions done on your PRIS account are done by you.
  • Please inform us immediately if your PIN has been compromised or if you suspect unauthorised access.
  • Users are advised to enable security features on their mobile devices, such as biometric authentication and screen locks, to prevent unauthorised access to the PRIS Africa.

11. Liability

  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, Puma is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, or losses arising from unauthorised use where you failed to protect your PIN/device or voluntarily shared access.
  • Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or liability that cannot be excluded under Botswana law.

12. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by Botswana law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Puma, its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, and agents against claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your misuse of PRIS; or (c) unlawful or negligent acts/omissions connected to your use of PRIS.

13. Privacy

Your personal data is used to operate and administer PRIS and to communicate with you about PRIS. Your use of PRIS is also governed by the applicable PRIS Privacy Policy (Botswana). Personal data may be shared with third-party reward providers only as needed to fulfil rewards and administer the programme.

Where applicable, we will process personal data in alignment with Botswana's data protection framework, including the Botswana Data Protection Act, 2024.
