RULES APPLICABLE TO USERS
Role of Owner
The Owner is responsible for managing the Account(s) and Payment Services, notably: inviting Users on the Platform, requesting the issuance of physical/plastic Cards, allocating spending limits to the Cards, ordering credit transfers, preventing a Overdraft at all times, and for requesting any redemption from the Account(s). In the case where the Owner is not one of Your company representatives (executives, partners, etc.), You acknowledge that You grant the Owner with the previous permissions, and that We shall not be held responsible for any fraudulent or abusive use of our Services by the Owner.
Delegations
The Owner may delegate his/her management powers, in whole or in part, to any Users and set the powers of such Users in accordance with the features proposed on the Platform: grant permission to invite other Users, request the issuance of a physical/plastic Card, allocate spending permission to the Cards, oversee any payments made with any Card, order payment transfers. Such permissions may be merged by Us into permissions groups, so that powers may be delegated in accordance with the permissions included in such groups. In that case, (i) the Owner may not select in his/her discretion the combination of powers/permissions that he/she wants to delegate, and (ii) the persons to whom such powers are delegated may be called in accordance with the terminology determined by Us from time to time in Our discretion (“Administrator”, “Requester”, “Controller”, etc.). All references to the Owner, in any clause of Our Terms, are deemed to include references to the persons to whom the Owner has delegated the power to take the action contemplated by such clause.
Authorizing Users
The Owner may invite individuals to become Users. Access to the Services by Users other than the Owner is subject to a registration by such Users on the Platform in accordance with the process described therein. We are in charge of Users authentication in order to verify the User’s identity, including the use of credentials. A strong authentication is required when using the Payment Services or delegating sensitive rights to Users. This authentication is based on the use of two or more of the following elements: knowledge (something only the User knows), ownership (something only the User possesses) and inherence (something the User is). All these elements are independent, which means if one of them is compromised, the other’s reliability is not affected, in order to ensure the Credentials’ confidentiality.
Warranties about Users
You warrant to Us that all Users (i) shall be informed of, and insofar as necessary shall accept and adhere to (e.g., in respect of communication of the Personal Data of the Users as defined in clause related below), the conditions of issuance and use of the Cards and use of the Payments Services, in accordance with Our Terms and the Contractual Documents, as they may be amended from time to time, and in accordance with any other specific terms and conditions that may apply, (ii) shall register for and use the Services and the Payment Services in accordance with such Terms and Documents, (iii) shall be informed of the expiry, cancellation, or modification of the funds allotted to, their Cards for any reason, including the termination of the Agreement or the Agreement between You and the EMI’s, and (iv) have been informed of and, where required, have consented to, the collection and use of their Personal Data (as defined in clause related below) in accordance with these Terms and/or Your instructions.

Any complaint shall be addressed to Our customer service by email to the following address: [email protected]
Accounts
Opening of the Account
You especially agree to respect the Contractual Documents, and their schedules, in order to open an Account in Your name. Following Your acceptance of these Documents, a payment Account is opened by the EMI in Your name if the latter agrees to contract with You without having to justify its decision if not.

You can fund Your Account by ordering a bank transfer from your bank to Your Account. We shall only accept bank transfers that are coming from the bank that You declared during the KYB process. You may also fund your Account by making a card payment on the Platform. This operation may be subject to fees, which will clearly be indicated before You confirm the card payment.

These payment orders are authenticated by Your Credentials and, if applicable, through a strong authentication, such as 3D Secure protocol. Once confirmed, money is gone and there is no way to retrieve it, unless it is an unauthorized transaction. The Owner has the right to delegate credit transfer permissions to any Users. We have no right to modify the payments instructions, which are executed by EMI’s in accordance with their Contractual Documents. The EMI’s or We reserve the right to refuse to execute a payment order, in particular if the order is incomplete or incorrect and if the EMI’s or We suspect fraudulent use of Your Account or breach of security. We provide You with reporting of payment transactions, which are available on Our Platform.
Inactive accounts
An Account (payment account) shall be considered inactive when, after a twelve (12) month period, no Payment transaction has been operated (excluding the debit of any management fees) and You or any User have not contacted Us in any way whatsoever. Should the payment account be considered inactive, we shall inform You through whatever means. Failing a response from You or any new Transaction on the payment account, and if the balance is positive, the payment account shall be closed at the end of a period of ten (10) years as of the last Transaction on this payment account. You shall be informed through whatever means six (6) months before the effective closure of the payment account. The balance shall be deposited to your set top up account.

This will also be automatically deducted from the balance of the Card at the time of withdrawal. If there is an Overdraft (e.g., as a result of a variation of the applicable forex rate between the time of the payment and the time of the settlement of the payment), Card Fees (plus any Transaction Charges) applied to Cards shall be reimbursed by You directly on demand. We may at Our sole discretion use available funds on the Account(s) to cover any outstanding Overdraft on such Cards.
Lost & Stolen Cards
We will not be liable for any loss caused or suffered as a result of lost, stolen or unauthorized use of a Card. If a Card is lost or stolen, some or all of the value of the funds on the Card may be lost.

Redemption of the Electronic Money is subject to the Contractual Documents.
Cancellation
Owners may cancel a Card via the Platform at any time in accordance with the Card Terms and Conditions. On cancellation of a Card for any reason, We will not be liable for any Electronic Money already spent on the Card prior to any valid request to cancel.

It is Your responsibility to see to it that Cards are cancelled in due time (e.g., when a User leaves Your organization).
Payment of Charges
Fees & Invoices
You must pay to Us the Fees disclosed on the Platform in relation to the Services for which Users have registered, depending on the Services subscribed to by the Users and the applicable Services plan. Our invoices for the Fees shall be available on the Platform.

We may terminate Our agreement with You at any time and without notice if You, the Owner or any User fail to comply with these Terms or with the EMI’s Contractual Documents, or if the Issuer ceases to issue Cards for any reason. Any termination of the Agreement, howsoever caused, shall be without prejudice to any obligations or rights of either of the parties which may have accrued prior to termination or expiry and shall not affect any provision of the Agreement which is expressly or by implication intended to come into effect on, or to continue in effect after such termination or expiry.
Termination upon Redemption of funds

Such funds will be debited from the Accounts and will be wire transferred to the bank account opened in Your name as indicated by You during the Registration process (as may be subsequently changed by You if such change has been notified to Us in accordance with section 11.4). A request for redemption of funds (i) shall be deemed to apply to all the funds left on the Account, with the express exclusion of any partial redemption, (ii) will constitute termination of this Agreement, and (iii) We will use our best efforts to transmit the repayment order to the EMI’s and ensure the redemption of funds within 15 business days, upon reception of the request for redemption.

RULES APPLICABLE TO USERS
Role of Owner
The Owner is responsible for managing the Account(s) and Payment Services, notably: inviting Users on the Platform, requesting the issuance of physical/plastic Cards, allocating spending limits to the Cards, ordering credit transfers, preventing a Overdraft at all times, and for requesting any redemption from the Account(s). In the case where the Owner is not one of Your company representatives (executives, partners, etc.), You acknowledge that You grant the Owner with the previous permissions, and that We shall not be held responsible for any fraudulent or abusive use of our Services by the Owner.
Delegations
The Owner may delegate his/her management powers, in whole or in part, to any Users and set the powers of such Users in accordance with the features proposed on the Platform: grant permission to invite other Users, request the issuance of a physical/plastic Card, allocate spending permission to the Cards, oversee any payments made with any Card, order payment transfers. Such permissions may be merged by Us into permissions groups, so that powers may be delegated in accordance with the permissions included in such groups. In that case, (i) the Owner may not select in his/her discretion the combination of powers/permissions that he/she wants to delegate, and (ii) the persons to whom such powers are delegated may be called in accordance with the terminology determined by Us from time to time in Our discretion (“Administrator”, “Requester”, “Controller”, etc.). All references to the Owner, in any clause of Our Terms, are deemed to include references to the persons to whom the Owner has delegated the power to take the action contemplated by such clause.
Authorizing Users
The Owner may invite individuals to become Users. Access to the Services by Users other than the Owner is subject to a registration by such Users on the Platform in accordance with the process described therein. We are in charge of Users authentication in order to verify the User’s identity, including the use of credentials. A strong authentication is required when using the Payment Services or delegating sensitive rights to Users. This authentication is based on the use of two or more of the following elements: knowledge (something only the User knows), ownership (something only the User possesses) and inherence (something the User is). All these elements are independent, which means if one of them is compromised, the other’s reliability is not affected, in order to ensure the Credentials’ confidentiality.
Warranties about Users
You warrant to Us that all Users (i) shall be informed of, and insofar as necessary shall accept and adhere to (e.g., in respect of communication of the Personal Data of the Users as defined in clause related below), the conditions of issuance and use of the Cards and use of the Payments Services, in accordance with Our Terms and the Contractual Documents, as they may be amended from time to time, and in accordance with any other specific terms and conditions that may apply, (ii) shall register for and use the Services and the Payment Services in accordance with such Terms and Documents, (iii) shall be informed of the expiry, cancellation, or modification of the funds allotted to, their Cards for any reason, including the termination of the Agreement or the Agreement between You and the EMI’s, and (iv) have been informed of and, where required, have consented to, the collection and use of their Personal Data (as defined in clause related below) in accordance with these Terms and/or Your instructions.

Any complaint shall be addressed to Our customer service by email to the following address: [email protected]
Accounts
Opening of the Account
You especially agree to respect the Contractual Documents, and their schedules, in order to open an Account in Your name.

These payment orders are authenticated by Your Credentials and, if applicable, through a strong authentication, such as 3D Secure protocol. Once confirmed, money is gone and there is no way to retrieve it, unless it is an unauthorized transaction. The Owner has the right to delegate credit transfer permissions to any Users. We have no right to modify the payments instructions, which are executed by EMI’s in accordance with their Contractual Documents.

We provide You with reporting of payment transactions, which are available on Our Platform.
Inactive accounts
An Account (payment account) shall be considered inactive when, after a twelve (12) month period, no Payment transaction has been operated (excluding the debit of any management fees) and You or any User have not contacted Us in any way whatsoever. Should the payment account be considered inactive, we shall inform You through whatever means. Failing a response from You or any new Transaction on the payment account, and if the balance is positive, the payment account shall be closed at the end of a period of ten (10) years as of the last Transaction on this payment account.

We may at Our sole discretion use available funds on the Account(s) to cover any outstanding Overdraft on such Cards.
Lost & Stolen Cards
We will not be liable for any loss caused or suffered as a result of lost, stolen or unauthorized use of a Card.

Owners may cancel a Card via the Platform at any time in accordance with the Card Terms and Conditions. On cancellation of a Card for any reason, We will not be liable for any Electronic Money already spent on the Card prior to any valid request to cancel.

RULES APPLICABLE TO USERS
Role of Owner
The Owner is responsible for managing the Account(s) and Payment Services, notably: inviting Users on the Platform, requesting the issuance of physical/plastic Cards, allocating spending limits to the Cards, ordering credit transfers, preventing a Overdraft at all times, and for requesting any redemption from the Account(s). In the case where the Owner is not one of Your company representatives (executives, partners, etc.), You acknowledge that You grant the Owner with the previous permissions, and that We shall not be held responsible for any fraudulent or abusive use of our Services by the Owner.
Delegations
The Owner may delegate his/her management powers, in whole or in part, to any Users and set the powers of such Users in accordance with the features proposed on the Platform: grant permission to invite other Users, request the issuance of a physical/plastic Card, allocate spending permission to the Cards, oversee any payments made with any Card, order payment transfers. Such permissions may be merged by Us into permissions groups, so that powers may be delegated in accordance with the permissions included in such groups. In that case, (i) the Owner may not select in his/her discretion the combination of powers/permissions that he/she wants to delegate, and (ii) the persons to whom such powers are delegated may be called in accordance with the terminology determined by Us from time to time in Our discretion (“Administrator”, “Requester”, “Controller”, etc.). All references to the Owner, in any clause of Our Terms, are deemed to include references to the persons to whom the Owner has delegated the power to take the action contemplated by such clause.
Authorizing Users
The Owner may invite individuals to become Users. Access to the Services by Users other than the Owner is subject to a registration by such Users on the Platform in accordance with the process described therein. We are in charge of Users authentication in order to verify the User’s identity, including the use of credentials. A strong authentication is required when using the Payment Services or delegating sensitive rights to Users. This authentication is based on the use of two or more of the following elements: knowledge (something only the User knows), ownership (something only the User possesses) and inherence (something the User is). All these elements are independent, which means if one of them is compromised, the other’s reliability is not affected, in order to ensure the Credentials’ confidentiality.
Warranties about Users
You warrant to Us that all Users (i) shall be informed of, and insofar as necessary shall accept and adhere to (e.g., in respect of communication of the Personal Data of the Users as defined in clause related below), the conditions of issuance and use of the Cards and use of the Payments Services, in accordance with Our Terms and the Contractual Documents, as they may be amended from time to time, and in accordance with any other specific terms and conditions that may apply, (ii) shall register for and use the Services and the Payment Services in accordance with such Terms and Documents, (iii) shall be informed of the expiry, cancellation, or modification of the funds allotted to, their Cards for any reason, including the termination of the Agreement or the Agreement between You and the EMI’s, and (iv) have been informed of and, where required, have consented to, the collection and use of their Personal Data (as defined in clause related below) in accordance with these Terms and/or Your instructions.

Any complaint shall be addressed to Our customer service by email to the following address: [email protected]
Accounts
Opening of the Account

We provide You with reporting of payment transactions, which are available on Our Platform.
Inactive accounts

Should the payment account be considered inactive, we shall inform You through whatever means. Failing a response from You or any new Transaction on the payment account, and if the balance is positive, the payment account shall be closed at the end of a period of ten (10) years as of the last Transaction on this payment account.

We may at Our sole discretion use available funds on the Account(s) to cover any outstanding Overdraft on such Cards.
Lost & Stolen Cards
We will not be liable for any loss caused or suffered as a result of lost, stolen or unauthorized use of a Card.

Owners may cancel a Card via the Platform at any time in accordance with the Card Terms and Conditions.

RULES APPLICABLE TO USERS
Role of Owner
The Owner is responsible for managing the Account(s) and Payment Services, notably: inviting Users on the Platform, requesting the issuance of physical/plastic Cards, allocating spending limits to the Cards, ordering credit transfers, preventing a Overdraft at all times, and for requesting any redemption from the Account(s). In the case where the Owner is not one of Your company representatives (executives, partners, etc.), You acknowledge that You grant the Owner with the previous permissions, and that We shall not be held responsible for any fraudulent or abusive use of our Services by the Owner.
Delegations
The Owner may delegate his/her management powers, in whole or in part, to any Users and set the powers of such Users in accordance with the features proposed on the Platform: grant permission to invite other Users, request the issuance of a physical/plastic Card, allocate spending permission to the Cards, oversee any payments made with any Card, order payment transfers. Such permissions may be merged by Us into permissions groups, so that powers may be delegated in accordance with the permissions included in such groups. In that case, (i) the Owner may not select in his/her discretion the combination of powers/permissions that he/she wants to delegate, and (ii) the persons to whom such powers are delegated may be called in accordance with the terminology determined by Us from time to time in Our discretion (“Administrator”, “Requester”, “Controller”, etc.).

Authorizing Users
The Owner may invite individuals to become Users. Access to the Services by Users other than the Owner is subject to a registration by such Users on the Platform in accordance with the process described therein. We are in charge of Users authentication in order to verify the User’s identity, including the use of credentials. A strong authentication is required when using the Payment Services or delegating sensitive rights to Users. This authentication is based on the use of two or more of the following elements: knowledge (something only the User knows), ownership (something only the User possesses) and inherence (something the User is). All these elements are independent, which means if one of them is compromised, the other’s reliability is not affected, in order to ensure the Credentials’ confidentiality.
Warranties about Users
You warrant to Us that all Users (i) shall be informed of, and insofar as necessary shall accept and adhere to (e.g., in respect of communication of the Personal Data of the Users as defined in clause related below), the conditions of issuance and use of the Cards and use of the Payments Services, in accordance with Our Terms and the Contractual Documents, as they may be amended from time to time, and in accordance with any other specific terms and conditions that may apply, (ii) shall register for and use the Services and the Payment Services in accordance with such Terms and Documents, (iii) shall be informed of the expiry, cancellation, or modification of the funds allotted to, their Cards for any reason, including the termination of the Agreement or the Agreement between You and the EMI’s, and (iv) have been informed of and, where required, have consented to, the collection and use of their Personal Data (as defined in clause related below) in accordance with these Terms and/or Your instructions.

Should the payment account be considered inactive, we shall inform You through whatever means. Failing a response from You or any new Transaction on the payment account, and if the balance is positive, the payment account shall be closed at the end of a period of ten (10) years as of the last Transaction on this payment account.

We may at Our sole discretion use available funds on the Account(s) to cover any outstanding Overdraft on such Cards.
Lost & Stolen Cards
We will not be liable for any loss caused or suffered as a result of lost, stolen or unauthorized use of a Card.

RULES APPLICABLE TO USERS
Role of Owner
The Owner is responsible for managing the Account(s) and Payment Services, notably: inviting Users on the Platform, requesting the issuance of physical/plastic Cards, allocating spending limits to the Cards, ordering credit transfers, preventing a Overdraft at all times, and for requesting any redemption from the Account(s). In the case where the Owner is not one of Your company representatives (executives, partners, etc.), You acknowledge that You grant the Owner with the previous permissions, and that We shall not be held responsible for any fraudulent or abusive use of our Services by the Owner.
Delegations
The Owner may delegate his/her management powers, in whole or in part, to any Users and set the powers of such Users in accordance with the features proposed on the Platform: grant permission to invite other Users, request the issuance of a physical/plastic Card, allocate spending permission to the Cards, oversee any payments made with any Card, order payment transfers. Such permissions may be merged by Us into permissions groups, so that powers may be delegated in accordance with the permissions included in such groups. In that case, (i) the Owner may not select in his/her discretion the combination of powers/permissions that he/she wants to delegate, and (ii) the persons to whom such powers are delegated may be called in accordance with the terminology determined by Us from time to time in Our discretion (“Administrator”, “Requester”, “Controller”, etc.). All references to the Owner, in any clause of Our Terms, are deemed to include references to the persons to whom the Owner has delegated the power to take the action contemplated by such clause.
Authorizing Users
The Owner may invite individuals to become Users. Access to the Services by Users other than the Owner is subject to a registration by such Users on the Platform in accordance with the process described therein. We are in charge of Users authentication in order to verify the User’s identity, including the use of credentials. A strong authentication is required when using the Payment Services or delegating sensitive rights to Users. This authentication is based on the use of two or more of the following elements: knowledge (something only the User knows), ownership (something only the User possesses) and inherence (something the User is). All these elements are independent, which means if one of them is compromised, the other’s reliability is not affected, in order to ensure the Credentials’ confidentiality.
Warranties about Users
You warrant to Us that all Users (i) shall be informed of, and insofar as necessary shall accept and adhere to (e.g., in respect of communication of the Personal Data of the Users as defined in clause related below), the conditions of issuance and use of the Cards and use of the Payments Services, in accordance with Our Terms and the Contractual Documents, as they may be amended from time to time, and in accordance with any other specific terms and conditions that may apply, (ii) shall register for and use the Services and the Payment Services in accordance with such Terms and Documents, (iii) shall be informed of the expiry, cancellation, or modification of the funds allotted to, their Cards for any reason, including the termination of the Agreement or the Agreement between You and the EMI’s, and (iv) have been informed of and, where required, have consented to, the collection and use of their Personal Data (as defined in clause related below) in accordance with these Terms and/or Your instructions.

Any complaint shall be addressed to Our customer service by email to the following address: [email protected]
Accounts
Opening of the Account
You especially agree to respect the Contractual Documents, and their schedules, in order to open an Account in Your name.

These payment orders are authenticated by Your Credentials and, if applicable, through a strong authentication, such as 3D Secure protocol. Once confirmed, money is gone and there is no way to retrieve it, unless it is an unauthorized transaction. The Owner has the right to delegate credit transfer permissions to any Users. We have no right to modify the payments instructions, which are executed by EMI’s in accordance with their Contractual Documents.

We provide You with reporting of payment transactions, which are available on Our Platform.
Inactive accounts
An Account (payment account) shall be considered inactive when, after a twelve (12) month period, no Payment transaction has been operated (excluding the debit of any management fees) and You or any User have not contacted Us in any way whatsoever. Should the payment account be considered inactive, we shall inform You through whatever means. Failing a response from You or any new Transaction on the payment account, and if the balance is positive, the payment account shall be closed at the end of a period of ten (10) years as of the last Transaction on this payment account.

We may at Our sole discretion use available funds on the Account(s) to cover any outstanding Overdraft on such Cards.
Lost & Stolen Cards
We will not be liable for any loss caused or suffered as a result of lost, stolen or unauthorized use of a Card.

Owners may cancel a Card via the Platform at any time in accordance with the Card Terms and Conditions.

RULES APPLICABLE TO USERS
Role of Owner
The Owner is responsible for managing the Account(s) and Payment Services, notably: inviting Users on the Platform, requesting the issuance of physical/plastic Cards, allocating spending limits to the Cards, ordering credit transfers, preventing a Overdraft at all times, and for requesting any redemption from the Account(s). In the case where the Owner is not one of Your company representatives (executives, partners, etc.), You acknowledge that You grant the Owner with the previous permissions, and that We shall not be held responsible for any fraudulent or abusive use of our Services by the Owner.
Delegations
The Owner may delegate his/her management powers, in whole or in part, to any Users and set the powers of such Users in accordance with the features proposed on the Platform: grant permission to invite other Users, request the issuance of a physical/plastic Card, allocate spending permission to the Cards, oversee any payments made with any Card, order payment transfers. Such permissions may be merged by Us into permissions groups, so that powers may be delegated in accordance with the permissions included in such groups. In that case, (i) the Owner may not select in his/her discretion the combination of powers/permissions that he/she wants to delegate, and (ii) the persons to whom such powers are delegated may be called in accordance with the terminology determined by Us from time to time in Our discretion (“Administrator”, “Requester”, “Controller”, etc.).

Authorizing Users
The Owner may invite individuals to become Users. Access to the Services by Users other than the Owner is subject to a registration by such Users on the Platform in accordance with the process described therein. We are in charge of Users authentication in order to verify the User’s identity, including the use of credentials. A strong authentication is required when using the Payment Services or delegating sensitive rights to Users. This authentication is based on the use of two or more of the following elements: knowledge (something only the User knows), ownership (something only the User possesses) and inherence (something the User is). All these elements are independent, which means if one of them is compromised, the other’s reliability is not affected, in order to ensure the Credentials’ confidentiality.
Warranties about Users

Failing a response from You or any new Transaction on the payment account, and if the balance is positive, the payment account shall be closed at the end of a period of ten (10) years as of the last Transaction on this payment account.

We may at Our sole discretion use available funds on the Account(s) to cover any outstanding Overdraft on such Cards.

RULES APPLICABLE TO USERS
Role of Owner
The Owner is responsible for managing the Account(s) and Payment Services, notably: inviting Users on the Platform, requesting the issuance of physical/plastic Cards, allocating spending limits to the Cards, ordering credit transfers, preventing a Overdraft at all times, and for requesting any redemption from the Account(s). In the case where the Owner is not one of Your company representatives (executives, partners, etc.), You acknowledge that You grant the Owner with the previous permissions, and that We shall not be held responsible for any fraudulent or abusive use of our Services by the Owner.
Delegations
The Owner may delegate his/her management powers, in whole or in part, to any Users and set the powers of such Users in accordance with the features proposed on the Platform: grant permission to invite other Users, request the issuance of a physical/plastic Card, allocate spending permission to the Cards, oversee any payments made with any Card, order payment transfers. Such permissions may be merged by Us into permissions groups, so that powers may be delegated in accordance with the permissions included in such groups. In that case, (i) the Owner may not select in his/her discretion the combination of powers/permissions that he/she wants to delegate, and (ii) the persons to whom such powers are delegated may be called in accordance with the terminology determined by Us from time to time in Our discretion (“Administrator”, “Requester”, “Controller”, etc.).

Authorizing Users
The Owner may invite individuals to become Users. Access to the Services by Users other than the Owner is subject to a registration by such Users on the Platform in accordance with the process described therein. We are in charge of Users authentication in order to verify the User’s identity, including the use of credentials. A strong authentication is required when using the Payment Services or delegating sensitive rights to Users. This authentication is based on the use of two or more of the following elements: knowledge (something only the User knows), ownership (something only the User possesses) and inherence (something the User is). All these elements are independent, which means if one of them is compromised, the other’s reliability is not affected, in order to ensure the Credentials’ confidentiality.
Warranties about Users
You warrant to Us that all Users (i) shall be informed of, and insofar as necessary shall accept and adhere to (e.g., in respect of communication of the Personal Data of the Users as defined in clause related below), the conditions of issuance and use of the Cards and use of the Payments Services, in accordance with Our Terms and the Contractual Documents, as they may be amended from time to time, and in accordance with any other specific terms and conditions that may apply, (ii) shall register for and use the Services and the Payment Services in accordance with such Terms and Documents, (iii) shall be informed of the expiry, cancellation, or modification of the funds allotted to, their Cards for any reason, including the termination of the Agreement or the Agreement between You and the EMI’s, and (iv) have been informed of and, where required, have consented to, the collection and use of their Personal Data (as defined in clause related below) in accordance with these Terms and/or Your instructions.

Any complaint shall be addressed to Our customer service by email to the following address: [email protected]
Accounts
Opening of the Account
You especially agree to respect the Contractual Documents, and their schedules, in order to open an Account in Your name.

We provide You with reporting of payment transactions, which are available on Our Platform.
Inactive accounts

Should the payment account be considered inactive, we shall inform You through whatever means. Failing a response from You or any new Transaction on the payment account, and if the balance is positive, the payment account shall be closed at the end of a period of ten (10) years as of the last Transaction on this payment account.

We may at Our sole discretion use available funds on the Account(s) to cover any outstanding Overdraft on such Cards.

We shall not be liable to You (i) for loss of business, loss of profits, loss of data, loss of reputation or goodwill, regulatory fines or sanctions incurred by You, or for any form of indirect loss, whether arising from negligence, breach of contract, tort, breach of regulatory or statutory duty or other, even if We had been advised of the possibility of such losses, (ii) in respect of any failure by or insolvency of the EMI’s, and (iii) in any way for any interest or claims of any third parties in respect of the Account and/or the Cards, except as required by law or regulation.
Limitation of Liability
We are only liable for the scope of Services duly executed by Us on a PDF format on our Platform. You use the Contents that you upload on Our Platform at your own risk. The qualified eIDAS timestamp service does not have for purpose or effect of identifying a signed or improperly signed invoice for any tax non-compliance.. Under no circumstances will We be responsible for the Contents that You freely upload on Our Platform as well as for its integrity prior to being time stamped by Our Services to benefit from Our Services. We do not represent or endorse the accuracy, reliability, completeness, usefulness, non-infringement of intellectual property rights, or quality of any Contents provided by You on Our Platform.
You shall also be solely responsible for abiding by legal invoicing rules regarding e.g. dematerialized invoices or receipts with respect to the applicable VAT set of rules. In that respect, You expressly undertake to:
declare the deductible tax to the tax administration,
ensure the invoices and/or receipts posted or transmitted to Our Platform contain all the mandatory information required by the tax administration
We do not incur any liability in respect of any indirect and/or consequential damages suffered by You, arising from Our Services, such as, and without this list being exhaustive: (i) losses or damages incurred by You as a result of third Party claims and (ii) loss of revenue, operations, profit, savings, business opportunity, investment or data. We cannot be held responsible or liable for any damages, which are caused by Your exclusive action, or as the case may be, the exclusive action of Your employees or agents, in connection with the performance of Our Services.
When We are liable, Our total liability to You under the Agreement will be limited in aggregate to the Charges paid to Us by You during the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in the course of which the event triggering Our liability has occurred.
Unless there is a shorter statutory limitation period or case law period, any action arising from or related to Our Services shall be brought against Us within a maximum period of one (1) year from the date on which You had knowledge, or should have known of the facts at the origin of the action.
As the Agreement is entered into between You and Us, any claim or action arising hereunder against Us may only be initiated by You.
Unauthorized Transactions
If the Owner or any User reasonably believe that any Transactions on the Account(s) or the Platform were not authorized or have been posted in error, or an unauthorized third party has gained access to the Platform (a “Disputed Transaction”), the User should immediately notify Us and provide sufficient detail to enable Us to investigate the Disputed Transaction. You or the User will be liable for any loss arising from a Disputed Transaction as a result of the Owner or any User’s failure to keep his/her credentials in the strictest confidence or to comply with Our Terms and Contractual Documents. In Our capacity as communication channel between You and the Issuer, We may not and do not assume liability for Disputed Transactions. Your rights in respect of Disputed Transactions shall be against the Issuer and shall be subject to mandatory rules of law and the Cards Terms and Conditions. If it appears that the Issuer’s liability to You results from Our negligence, We will indemnify You in accordance with such rules and ters and conditions, on behalf of the Issuer provided that the Card Issuer agrees to so settle the dispute.

Waivers
Failure to exercise, or any delay in exercising, any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that (or any other) right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict any further exercise of that (or any other) right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that right or remedy. A waiver (which may be given subject to conditions) of any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall only be effective if it is in writing. It shall apply only to the party to whom it is addressed and for the specific circumstances for which it is given. It shall not prevent the party who has given the waiver from subsequently relying on the right or remedy in other circumstances. Unless specifically provided otherwise, rights arising under this Agreement are cumulative and do not exclude rights provided by law.
Severance
If (part of) a provision of the Terms is found illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision such that, as amended, it is legal, valid and enforceable, and, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the parties’ original commercial intention.
