We shall restore the balance of the Client’s Account to what it would have been before the payment under the SEPA Direct Debit.

(2) The right of the Client for a refund for unauthorized payments or incorrect payments shall be precluded if the Client fails to inform us within 7 (seven) days after the Account was debited with the transaction and in case the Client uses the Service in the capacity of a consumer the Client must inform us no later than 13 (thirteen) months after the Account was debited with the unauthorized or incorrect transaction.
(3) The Client shall bear all the losses relating to any unauthorized payment under SEPA Direct Debit Service if they are incurred as a result from a fraudulent act or the Client has acted with intent or gross negligence in the failure to perform any of its obligations under Legal Agreement for myPOS Service or under the present Agreement.
(c) Refund for non-executed or incorrectly executed authorized payments
(1) If an authorized payment is not executed or not executed correctly, the Client is entitled to request us to refund the amount of the payment under the SEPA direct debit in full without delay insofar as the payment was executed incorrectly.

(4) The Client acknowledges and agree that our liability shall be precluded if we prove to the Client that the full amount of the payment reached the payee’s payment service provider in due time or if the payment was executed in conformity with the incorrect unique identifier of the payee provided by the payee.
(d) Our ability to provide SEPA direct debits may be limited or disabled for some time, for reasons beyond our control, as we participate in the payment system as indirect participant and rely on banks, which are direct participants. We shall inform you in reasonable time and will try to find a solution and resolve the matter as practically as possible, however, we shall not be liable for any damages caused to you due to ceasing of our services for SEPA direct debit for reasons beyond our control.
6.1 All terms and conditions for myPOS Cards, linked to the account, are dealt with in the Legal Agreement for myPOS Card.
7.1 If we refuse to execute a payment order, the refusal and, if possible, the reasons for it as well as the procedure for correcting any factual mistakes that led to the refusal shall be notified to Client, unless prohibited by other relevant EU or national legislation. We shall provide or make available the notification to Client via email or via the online account at the earliest opportunity. We may charge a fee for providing additional information for such a notification if the refusal is objectively justified.
7.2 In the event of unauthorized transaction or incorrect payment order, the payment transaction is deemed to be correctly executed by us in accordance to EU legislation and national legislation. Client, or a person explicitly authorized by Client, may submit a Request for reversal of unauthorized transaction or Reversal for reversal of incorrect order to us via email, without undue delay and within 7 (seven) days after the Account was debited with the amount of the unauthorized transaction or the incorrect payment order. This term shall not release Client from Client obligation to notify us immediately and without delay in case of loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorized use of Identifying Credentials and to take all preventive and security measures as allowed by the Service or by us to limit the risks and damages. Client cannot claim that a transaction is not authorized, because of lack of Client consent for the transaction, since Client is not a Consumer. In case the Client is using the Service in the capacity of a consumer the Client may submit a Request for reversal of unauthorized transaction or of incorrect order not later than 13 (thirteen) months after the Account was debited with the amount of the unauthorized transaction or the incorrect payment order.
7.3 We will assist the Client to a reasonable extent for reversing the unauthorized transaction or incorrect payment order as required by EU and applicable national law. In case of incorrect payment order, such as wrong account identifier, wrong name, wrong BIC, wrong name of bank of the payee, wrong amount, or other incorrect data, submitted by Client, we may assist the Client to submit a new and correct payment order if we have not executed the incorrect payment order, for which we may charge the Client a fee. In case we have executed the incorrect payment order as per the Agreement and the law, the Client can make a request for reversal via email to us and we will initiate a reversal procedure, for which we will charge Client with the respective fee. We cannot guarantee the outcome of the reversal procedure because it depends entirely on the decision of the payee and bank of the payee to reverse the amount and even if the amount is reversed to Client’s account the other banks (the bank of the payee or the correspondent banks) may withdraw from the amount their own fees for reversal and/or investigation or similar, which is beyond our control.
7.4 In case of unauthorized transaction, we shall conduct a procedure for proving authentic and correct execution of payment transaction and if this procedure is completed in favour of Client, we shall reverse the operation and return the amount to Client’ account, less the applicable fee in the Tariff, within the deadline provided in the law.
7.5 Client agrees that we may not be always able to reverse the amount of unauthorized transaction or incorrect payment order, in cases, where the deadlines for chargeback or reversal procedures before the Card Organizations have expired or in other cases per the rules of the respective Card Organization, in which cases we shall not owe Reversal or compensation to Client.
7.6 When Client receives a payment:
i) Client is liable to us for the full amount of the received payment or incoming transfer plus any Fees if the payment or transfer is later invalidated for any reason, including a reversal by a payment scheme. In addition to any other liability, if there is a Reversal, or if Client loses a Chargeback or Claim, Client will owe us an amount equal to the Reversal, Chargeback or Claim and applicable fee as per the Tariff and other charges related to the Reversal, Chargeback or Claim. We shall debit Client’s account to recover any amounts and fees, due by Client in connection to Reversal, or Chargeback or Claim or Reserve, immediately and without prior notice;
ii) in case Client receives a payment to an account, which the Client has chosen to terminate, we shall not be liable for crediting the Client’s account. In such case we shall place the credit transfer as “pending” and shall request from the Client via e-mail approval to credit one of the other accounts in the same currencies or other currencies and if there is no approval via e-mail by the Client, we shall return the amount of the transaction to the original payer and may charge the Client with a fee for reversal.
7.7 Client agrees that in case a payment transaction is not approved for some reason or client wishes to refund full or partial amount, then the following rules shall apply:
i) Reversal or refund of full amount of transaction – the amount of the transaction is refunded in the original type of currency; or
ii) Partial reversal or refund of amount of transaction – the amount subject to reversal or refund is refunded in the currency of the transaction; or
iii) If payment has been made with Card via debiting of linked Funding Instrument - the amount subject to reversal or refund is refunded in the currency of Card; or
iv) If payment has been made with e-money via debiting of linked Funding Instrument - the amount subject to reversal or refund is refunded to Funding instrument if possible, or if not possible is refunded in Client’s account in the currency of the transaction.
7.8 Chargebacks, Reversals, Refunds or Claims, related to the acquiring services:
i) Client acknowledges and agrees that Client may become liable to us for the full or partial amount of any payment, received by us or Client from the Service plus any fees or charges if the payment is later invalidated for any legal reason, including but not limited to chargeback or reversal of a payment transaction, or chargeback of card-not-present transaction for payment via the Links or Requests for payments, or on other legal ground. In addition to any other liability, if there is a reversal, or if Client loses a chargeback or claim, Client will owe to us an amount equal to the reversal, chargeback or claim and applicable fee as per the Tariff and other charges related to the reversal, chargeback or claim.
ii) We are entitled to withhold amounts to be paid to Client or debit amounts from Client’s account, equal to the amounts subject to chargeback, reversal, refund, any claim related to Pre-authorization transactions or MOTO or e-Commerce or other claim, including the fee owed by Client and any fees and compensations paid to the Regulators, during the time of the procedure or later on, notwithstanding if the amounts have already been credited to Client’s Account. Depending on the outcome of the claim against us or the Client, we are entitled to:
(a) In case of successful chargeback, reversal, refund or claim, to reimburse the funds to the Payer or cardholder (or Card Organization) or other appropriate third party and charge Client for these amounts, including applicable fee, by deducting them from the amounts due by us to Client or by debiting Client Account. In such case, we shall be entitled to debit the e-money balance first in any currency and any account of the Client opened with us, and then the Reserve, if there are no sufficient funds in the e-money balances. Alternatively:
(b) In case of chargeback, reversal, refund or claim, which have been decided in a non-appealable way as not successful, to release the withheld or blocked amounts to Client.
iii) Client acknowledges that the validity of a chargeback, refund, reversal or claim will be determined by the relevant Card Organization or other third-party payment service provider and we will have no discretion on the matter. We are not liable to Client in respect of any reimbursement to cardholder (or Card Organization), their payment service provider or other appropriate third party because of a chargeback, refund, reversal or claim.
iv) In case a cardholder escalates a chargeback or similar procedure before the Card Organization, under the rules for arbitration procedure of the Card Organization, we shall inform Client on this and shall cooperate with Client in such procedure as per the Regulations. All costs or fees incurred by us in such procedure, including the costs or fees, paid by cardholder, in case of loss of the procedure, shall be on account of Client.
v) Client acknowledges and accepts that we may restrict or suspend the use of the Service and/or terminate this Agreement immediately and without advance notice in the event that the levels of chargeback, refund, reversal or claims connected with the Client website or offers are, in our sole opinion, excessive.
vi) In case we have reasonable doubts or we receive information from Card Organizations or other Regulators for payments with stolen cards, false cards, or unauthorized payments with cards or other irregularities in connection with website of the Client, we have the right to withhold or block all due amounts to Client, including in Client Account and to start an investigation without prior notice to Client. Client is obliged to cooperate us and present us all requested information related to the alleged fraud or unauthorized payments. We have to complete our internal investigation within a reasonable period and have to inform Client on the outcome.

iii) Client acknowledges and agrees that: (a) The sales of Goods and Services are transactions between the Merchant and Client and not with us, or any of our Branches, Agents or affiliates, unless we are expressly designated as a Seller (Merchant) in the transaction (for example, purchase of other prepaid cards, such as GIFTCARD or other).

v) Client will be able to view Client transactions free of charge in Client’s account transaction history, which is updated regularly, and Client agrees not to receive paper statements. Upon Client request we may, upon our discretion, provide Client with additional statements, paper or otherwise, of the transactions but in this case, we may charge Client a reasonable administration fee as defined in the Tariff. We may charge Client a fee for other information services, different from the standard information services, provided via the Service or additional services provided by us, as provided in the Tariff.
vi) In case Client wishes to use an alternative method for two-factor authentication and receipt of one-time password, as may be required by the Service, Client has to select this option from Client’s online account.

The Reserve percentage is as a percentage of the amount of certain or all types of processed card transactions to be settled to the account. The Reserve percentage in case of use of myPOS Virtual or e-Commerce shall be 10% per default (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties when registering for the Service) from all myPOS Virtual or e-Commerce transactions. The Reserve percentage in case of use of MOTO or pre-authorizations or other risk transactions shall be 10% per default (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties when registering for the Service) from all card transactions to be settled to the account, including transactions of physical POS, virtual POS or e-commerce. The Reserve may be set in the online account of the Merchant for the Service. If the amount of the Reserve is depleted or diminished for some reasons, we shall be entitled to withhold amounts from all types of credit transactions to the account of the Client, to replenish the amount of the Reserve or Hold. The reserved amounts will be reserved by us for a period up to 1 (one) year after authorization of the transaction or a longer period if this is necessary for the protection of our legal interests. All such reserved sums will be displayed in Client online account for the Service as Reserve or Reserved. Such amounts do not represent electronic money and the client may not use, redeem or buy back them until the reserve period elapses and the amounts are credited to the Client’s balance of e-money. The funds will be withheld with operation Withhold Reserve and shall be released with operation Release Reserve. The release of the respective reserved amounts shall be performed once per day or at other time intervals, at the end of the Business day.
8.2 We shall determine the Reserve amount or percentage depending on the level of risk of Client, geographical locations, type of business and other factors. We shall regularly check the percentage and amount retained under the Reserve percentage. If in our sole discretion the amount of the retention exceeds a reasonable amount covering the risks, we may:

ii) prolong the period for which the sums will be kept as Reserved for more than 1 (one year), and/or

8.4 If upon our discretion there may be a high level of risk associated with Client account or usage of the Service or Client has breached or is breaching the Agreement or any laws or Regulations, in addition to the Reserve, we shall also be entitled, in our sole discretion, to place a Hold on the funds held by the Client as Balance of e-money or to withdraw and keep funds from authorized transactions, which have not been yet credited to the Client’s account for e-money. In relation to the Service, this may include (without limitation) an unusual level of customer refunds, chargebacks or other similar. We are entitled to withhold amounts for a period of time, which is reasonably necessary to assess our damages. Amounts which are placed on hold or withdrawn by us for the above reasons will be shown as "Hold/Pending" in the Client’s account only for information purposes and only if allowed by the law. Such amounts do not represent electronic money and the client may not use, redeem or buy back them until the reason for hold/withdrawal is rectified and the amounts are credited to the Client’s account for e-money.

If we have blocked/disabled myPOS Terminal for such reasons, Client is obliged to return to us or a person specified by us via post the blocked payment device, such as myPOS on account of Client. We may withhold money from Client until due performance of this obligation.
8.6 In order to determine the risk associated with Client’s account or use of the Service, we may request at any time, and Client agrees to provide promptly any information or documents about the Client or Client’s business, use of the Service, use of the account or Card, operations or any other information about the Client.

9.2 Client agrees to use the Client’s credentials, such as username and password and other personalized security features for Client’s payment instruments only in accordance with this Agreement and with the law. Client must not provide and must not allow disclosure of the personalized security features to a third party (other from authorised cardholders), because even in this case Card or payment instrument can be comprised and result in unauthorized transactions, for which Client is fully liable. The terms of the security features of the myPOS Card are detailed in the Legal Agreement for myPOS Card
9.3 Since the Client is using the Service in a business capacity, Client agrees that:
