It is expressly provided that the Issuer may request additional documents concerning the User, the beneficial owner or a specific payment transaction before any registration and at any time during the term of the Master Agreement.

4.2.2. Account Limitation

At the Issuer's free discretion, the use of an Account may be limited without the Issuer justifying its decision to the User concerned. In particular, the operation of the Account will be limited if the User has not transmitted all the information and documents required by the Issuer, as listed above. These limits are indicated to the User by the Distributor.

4.2.3. Finalization of the registration

After entering into the Master Agreement, the User must provide all the information and supporting documents requested by the Distributor. By agreeing to the terms of the Master Agreement, the User agrees that the Distributor may forward to the Issuer its application for registration as a User and all supporting documents received by it.

The Issuer is the only one who can accept the registration of a prospect as a User of an Account in its name. This agreement will be notified to the User by the Distributor by any means in accordance with the terms and conditions provided on the Site.

The Issuer may, without stating reasons or claiming compensation in favour of the User, refuse an application to open an Account. This refusal will be notified to the User by the Distributor by any means in accordance with the terms and conditions provided on the Site.

5. Account Operation
5.1. Electronic Money Purchasing

The acquisition of Electronic Money may be carried out, by Card (or any other means of payment accepted by the Issuer), on one or more occasions.

When he wishes to perform such an operation, the User identifies himself on the Site by indicating his User (valid email address) and password or by logging in via his Facebook account.

The funds transfer order is transmitted on a dedicated payment page. For any payment, the Issuer may require the entry of a single-use code notified on the User's mobile phone by the institution issuing the Card. Where applicable, it is the Issuer's responsibility to refuse any payment at its own discretion and without this decision giving rise to any compensation. The money transfer operation is carried out by the card issuer. Any dispute concerning such a transfer must be notified to the said establishment. The Issuer is not entitled to cancel such a transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the User may obtain a Refund from the Electronic Mint in accordance with Article 5.4.

The registration of the e-Money in the name of the User may be subject to the actual receipt of the funds collected less the fees agreed in the Tariff Conditions.

In the event that the transfer of funds is cancelled by the Card issuer following a dispute, for whatever reason, the Issuer may, upon receipt of the information, suspend or cancel any Payment Transaction, close the Account concerned, debit the Account at any time with the amount of the Electronic Money corresponding to the funds whose transfer is cancelled and proceed to recover the sums due by the User by any means.

5.2. Account operation

The Electronic Money is stored for an indefinite period of time on the User's Account by the Issuer under the agreed Tariff Conditions.

The Account is credited by the acquisition of Electronic Money against the delivery of funds ordered by the User directly to the Issuer by Card (or any other means of payment accepted by the Issuer) less the corresponding charges as provided for in the Tariff Conditions. This Account is debited by Order of the Electronic Money User for the amount of the Payment or Reimbursement Transaction performed and the related fees as provided for in the Tariff Conditions. The Issuer is entitled to debit this Account at any time with the amount of Electronic Money corresponding to the fees due and payable under the Tariff Conditions.

The amount of Electronic Money available on the Account is immediately adjusted according to:

   - fees due and payable by the Account User, which are paid in Electronic Money;

   - Orders transmitted (or in the process of being transmitted) to the Issuer relating to the Electronic Money stored on the Account;

   - funds received by the Issuer in consideration of the acquisition of Electronic Money on the Account;

   - and any cancellation relating to any of the aforementioned transactions pursuant hereto.

5.3. Use of Electronic Money to Perform a Payment Transaction

• Before transmitting an Order, the User must ensure that he has sufficient available Electronic Money to cover the amount of the Payment Transaction and the related costs as agreed in the Tariff Conditions.

     If applicable, it shall acquire sufficient Electronic Money in accordance with Article 5.1 before the Order can be validly transmitted to the Issuer for execution. The e-Money may only be held by the User subject to the actual delivery of the corresponding funds. The e-Money may not be issued on credit. Thus, when the amount of Electronic Money available on the date of execution of the Order by the Issuer is less than the amount of the Payment Transaction (including fees), the Order is automatically rejected by the Issuer. Information relating to this refusal is made available to the User on the Site. This refusal may give rise to additional costs in accordance with the Tariff Conditions.

The methods of transmission of an Order by the User are as follows:

When he wishes to carry out a Payment Transaction, the User identifies himself on his Personal Space by indicating his Identification Data, and, if applicable, by following the Strong Authentication procedure indicated to him. He completes the appropriate form on the Payment Page and, if necessary, provides the supporting documents requested by the Issuer. The form must indicate the following elements: the amount expressed in euro (€) of the Payment Transaction, the elements allowing the Beneficiary to be identified, the date of execution of the Order and any other required information.

The User gives his irrevocable consent to the Payment Order by clicking on the "Validation" tab ("Date of receipt"). The receipt of the Payment Order is confirmed on the User's Personal Space or by the receipt of an email. No Order may be withdrawn by the User after the date on which it is deemed irrevocable, i.e. from the Date of receipt.

In certain cases, the User may complete a single form containing a transfer order for funds as provided for in Article 5.1 and an Order allowing a Payment Transaction to be carried out in accordance with the previous paragraph.

Execution of the Order:

The amount of the Payment Transactions shall be deducted from the available Electronic Money recorded in the Account to be credited to the Beneficiary in accordance with the User's instructions. Thus, the Beneficiary may open an Account in accordance with Article 4.2 to receive the Electronic Money if it is not already a User. The funds corresponding to the Electronic Money used may, where applicable, be transferred directly to a bank or payment account opened in the name of the Beneficiary upon receipt of the details of such account by the Issuer. To this end, the Beneficiary must provide the IBAN and SWIFT code of the bank or payment account held by him/her and his/her address. This account must be opened by a banking or payment institution established in a Member State of the European Union, a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or a third country imposing equivalent obligations in terms of combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

It is expressly agreed that the Orders will be executed no later than the end of the Business Day following the Date of receipt of the Order by the Issuer (and on the execution date agreed for Term or Standing Orders), if the Beneficiary has an Account. If applicable, the Date of receipt must be postponed to the opening of the Account or to the day on which the Issuer collects the details of the Beneficiary's bank account or payment account to which the funds are to be transferred.

Any Order received after 4pm by the Supplier is deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. If the Receipt Date is not a Business Day, the Order is deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

5.4. Transmission and execution of a Refund Order

When he wishes to transmit a Refund Order, the User identifies himself on the Site by indicating his Identification Data or by connecting through his Facebook account. He completes the appropriate form on the Payment Page and, if necessary, provides the supporting documents requested by the Issuer. The User must indicate on the form the following elements: the amount of the Refund, the date of execution of the Order and any other required information.

The User gives his irrevocable consent to the Payment Order by clicking on the "Validation" tab ("Date of receipt"). The receipt of the Payment Order is confirmed on the User's Personal Space or by the receipt of an email. No Order may be withdrawn by the User after the date on which it is deemed irrevocable, i.e. from the Date of receipt.

The Refund will be made by crediting the Card (or Means of Payment) used by the User to acquire e-Money. If applicable, it will be carried out by transferring funds to the Beneficiary's bank or payment account, the details of which will have been notified to the Issuer ("Notification Date"). It is agreed between the Parties that the Refund will be executed at the latest at the end of the Business Day following the Date of receipt or notification, as the case may be.

Any Refund Order received after 4pm by the Supplier shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. If the Receipt Date is not a Business Day, the Order is deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

 

5.5. Withdrawal of an Order

No Order may be withdrawn by the User after the date on which it is deemed irrevocable as indicated above.

 

6. Reporting

The User has a statement of transactions on the Account in his Personal Space. He is invited to read carefully the list of these operations. The User acknowledges that only the statement of Payment Transactions validated by the Issuer is equivalent to the Issuer's acknowledgement of the amount of Electronic Money available on the Account closed on the date indicated on the statement. The User may access at any time on his personal page accessible on the Site the indicative amount of Electronic Money available on his Account.

It is specified that for each Transaction carried out on his Account, the User will have the following information: the reference of the Transaction, the identification of the Beneficiary, the amount of the Transaction, the date of receipt of the Order, and, if applicable, the costs relating to the execution of this Transaction.

The Issuer shall make available to the User upon request the monthly statements of the Account covering the previous thirteen (13) months.

 

7. Opposition to Personalized Security Data

The User must inform the Distributor of the loss or theft of his Personalized Security Data, the misappropriation or any unauthorized use of his Personal Space or data as soon as he becomes aware of it in order to request its blocking. This declaration must be made:

   - by telephone call to the Distributor's customer service at the number indicated in the Site's General Terms and Conditions, or ;

   - directly by e-mail via the contact form available on the Site.

   The Issuer, through the Distributor, will immediately execute the request to oppose the relevant Identifier. The event will be recorded and time-stamped. An opposition number with time stamp will be communicated to the User. A written confirmation of this opposition will be sent by the Distributor to the User concerned by electronic message. The Issuer takes charge of the file administratively and keeps all traces for 18 (eighteen) months. Upon written request by the User and before the expiry of this period, the Issuer shall provide a copy of this opposition.

   Any request for opposition must be confirmed without delay by the User concerned, by letter signed by the latter, delivered or sent by registered mail, or by email, to the Issuer at the postal address at the top of this document.

   The Issuer and the Distributor shall not be held liable for the consequences of an opposition by fax or e-mail, which does not originate from the User.

   An opposition request is deemed to be made on the date and time the Distributor actually receives the request. In the event of theft or fraudulent use of the Identifier, the Issuer is entitled to request, through the Distributor, a receipt or a copy of the complaint submission from the User, who undertakes to respond as soon as possible.

 

8. Contesting an Operation

8.1. Provisions common to all Users

For any complaint relating to Payment or Repayment Transactions made by the Issuer hereunder, the User is invited to contact the Distributor's customer service department or the address indicated for this purpose in the Site's General Terms and Conditions.

If an Order is executed by the Issuer with errors due to the latter's fault, the dispute must be transmitted as soon as possible to the Service Provider, the Order is cancelled and the Account is restored to the situation it was in before the payment order was received. Thereafter, the Order is properly represented.

The Professional User who wishes to dispute a transfer transaction not authorized by him or improperly executed must contact the Distributor's Customer Service by telephone as soon as possible after becoming aware of the anomaly and no later than eight (8) weeks following the registration of the transaction in the account, provided that he forwards the dispute to the Issuer as soon as possible. Unless the Issuer has reasonable grounds to suspect fraud by the User, the Issuer shall refund the amount of the Transaction to the User immediately after receiving the request for dispute, and in any event no later than the end of the first following Business Day. The Issuer restores the Account to the state in which it would have been if the unauthorised payment transaction had not taken place.

In the event of loss or theft of Personalized Security Data, unauthorized Transactions performed prior to notification of the objection are the responsibility of the User. Operations carried out after the opposition are borne by the Issuer except in the event of fraud by the User.

Unless the Issuer has reasonable grounds to suspect fraud by the User, the Issuer shall refund the amount of the Transaction to the User immediately after receiving the request for dispute, and in any event no later than the end of the first following Business Day. The Issuer restores the Account to the state in which it would have been if the unauthorised payment transaction had not taken place.

In the event of an unauthorized payment transaction resulting from the loss or theft of Personalized Security Data, the User shall, prior to notification of the opposition, bear the losses related to the use of Personalized Security Data, up to a maximum of fifty (50) euros.

   - in the event of counterfeiting of Personalized Security Data, if, at the time of the unauthorized payment transaction, the User is in possession of such Data.

   The User shall bear all losses caused by unauthorized Transactions if such losses result from fraudulent conduct on his part or if he has not intentionally and grossly negligently failed to comply with the obligations to maintain the security of his Personalized Security Data and to notify the opposition in the event of loss, theft or misuse of such Data.

   Unless it acts fraudulently, the User shall not bear any financial consequences if the unauthorised Transaction has been carried out without the Issuer requiring a strong Authentication from the User, in cases where the regulations provide that the latter is mandatory.

To do so, each Party must send its notice of termination of this Agreement to the other Party by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the postal address or e-mail address indicated in the Site's General Conditions.

The User must indicate in the termination letter the details of his bank account or payment account allowing the Issuer to reimburse him for the available Electronic Money. In the absence of any indication, it is the Issuer's responsibility to follow the Repayment instructions involving the credit repayment of the Card used to acquire the Electronic Money. The Issuer is released from any obligation once it has confirmed to the User the transfer to the account indicated or the credit to his Card of the amount of the Electronic Money.

In the event of a serious breach, fraud, or unpaid invoices by the User, the Issuer reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement by sending an email accompanied by a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

If the User has not notified his refusal before the indicated date of entry into force, he is deemed to accept the proposed modifications.

The relationship between the Parties after the effective date will then be governed by the new version of the Master Agreement.

In the event of refusal by the User, such refusal shall give rise, free of charge, to the termination of the Master Agreement, as well as to the Reimbursement of the Electronic Money units belonging to it within a period of thirteen (13) months following the effective date of the termination in order to cover any future disputes.

Any legislative or regulatory provisions that would require the modification of all or part of the Master Agreement will be applicable from their date of entry into force, without notice. However, the User will be informed of this.

The Issuer undertakes to provide its services in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and good engineering practice. In particular, the Issuer will make every effort to ensure the security and confidentiality of Users' data, in accordance with the regulations in force.

The Issuer reserves the right to temporarily suspend access to the Online Account for technical, security or maintenance reasons without any compensation. It undertakes to limit this type of interruption to what is strictly necessary.

However, the Issuer may not be held liable to the User for any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transactions carried out via the Site resulting from unauthorised access to the Site. The Issuer shall not be held liable for any unauthorized theft, destruction or communication of data resulting from unauthorized access to the Site. In addition, the Issuer remains outside the legal relationship between the User and the Beneficiary of the Payment Transaction or between the User and the Site. The Issuer shall not be liable for any fault, failure or negligence of the User or Beneficiary towards each other, or of the Site and the User towards each other. 


If the unique identifier or any other information necessary to execute a Payment Transaction provided by the User is inaccurate, the Issuer shall not be liable for the improper performance of such Service.

The Distributor is solely responsible for the security and confidentiality of the data exchanged in connection with the use of the Site in accordance with the Site's General Terms and Conditions, the Issuer being responsible for the security and confidentiality of the data it exchanges with the User hereunder in connection with the creation and management of its Account, as well as the Payment Transactions associated with the Account.

 

13. Limitation of the Issuer's liability

The Issuer does not intervene in any way in legal and commercial relations and any disputes arising between the Beneficiary and the User or between the User and the Distributor. The Issuer has no control over the compliance, security, legality, characteristics and suitability of the products covered by a Payment Transaction. In this respect, it is the User's responsibility to take all relevant information before purchasing a product or service, raising funds or carrying out any operation in full knowledge of the facts. Each operation carried out by the User gives rise to a contract directly formed between him and the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to which the Issuer is a foreigner. The latter may not therefore be held liable for the non-performance or improper performance of the obligations resulting therefrom, nor for any damage caused to the User in this respect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Issuer's liability to a User is limited to the compensation of direct damage as provided for by regulation.

 

14. Commitments of the User

 

The User guarantees that no element of his Personal Space on the Site infringes the rights of third parties or is contrary to law, public order and morality. The User certifies the conformity, lawfulness and appropriateness of the Gift made to the Beneficiary, the purchase of the property from the Beneficiary.

It undertakes not to perform the Master Agreement in an illegal manner or under conditions likely to damage, disable, overburden or alter the Site. He undertakes not to impersonate another person or entity, to falsify or conceal his identity, his age or to create an identity.

In the event of failure to comply with these obligations, the Issuer reserves the right to take any appropriate measure to put an end to the acts concerned. He will also be entitled to suspend, delete and/or block his access to the Account. Without prejudice to legal actions brought by third parties, the Issuer is entitled to take any legal action in a personal capacity to compensate for any damage it may have personally suffered as a result of the User's failure to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement.
