A company's terms of service does not override consumer protection laws. There is gobs of caselaw on the books to this end. Many people seem to take the stance that if you agree to a TOS, then everything in it is applicable. Not so. The only thing that matters is what holds up in Court.
Have you taken any steps to mitigate damages? Emailed or called epassporte? If you do, they will unlock your account, and release your funds. You even admitted you decided to check your account, so you weren't even put out by having your card denied.
