1. •

   ‘either a physical or electronic instrument

2. •

   that carries an entitlement to be accepted as consideration for the provision of goods or services

3. •

   where either or both of the goods or services for which it may be accepted, and the persons under an obligation to accept it as consideration for those goods or services, are limited and are stated on or in it
