Paynetics may refuse to perform any given payment if your Account does not have sufficient balance to cover the amount of the payment and all applicable fees.
5.2. Paynetics will execute your/the Cardholder’s payment instructions for payments from your Account on the same day it receives them (or the future day agreed if it is in the future). The time of receipt of your/the Cardholder’s payment instruction is when Paynetics receives it (which will typically be on the same day the payment is instructed) or, if the payment instruction specifies the payment is to take place on a future day, then the payment instruction will be treated as received on that day. You/the Cardholder cannot cancel a payment after you/the Cardholder have authorised it and Paynetics has received your/the Cardholder’s payment instruction for it, except that you/the Cardholder can cancel a future payment, such as a recurring Card payment if you/the Cardholder notify Paynetics of cancellation no later than the end of the business day before the payment is due to be made via the App. Cancelling a future dated payment such as a recurring Card payment with us will not cancel the agreement with the organisation you are paying. You/the Cardholder should tell the organisation collecting the payment about the changes to your/the Cardholder’s instructions.
5.3. After receiving your/the Cardholder’s payment instruction for payment from your Account (including Card payments), Paynetics will credit the recipient’s account within the timescales set out below.
5.4. Paynetics will deduct the value of payments together with all applicable fees from the balance on the relevant currency Account. Payments from your Account by way of credit transfers in EUR or GBP will be deducted from your EUR or GBP Account respectively. Card payments in EUR or GBP will also be deducted from your respective currency Account. Card payments in any other currency will always be deducted from your Account at then prevailing currency conversion rates. If there is insufficient balance on the relevant GBP or EUR Account to complete the payment, including all applicable fees, funds will be automatically transferred from your Account in the other currency to your relevant currency Account at then prevailing currency conversion rates. If there is insufficient balance on both your EUR and GBP Accounts to complete the payment, including all applicable fees, the payment will be refused. See clause 11 for more detail on the applicable currency conversion rates and fees.

If we are unable to notify you beforehand, we will notify you immediately afterwards. We will not notify you if doing so would compromise our security measures or would be unlawful.
14.7. Your Card and/ or Account will be unblocked or re-activated (or replaced) as soon as possible after the reasons for blocking cease to exist.
Communicating with you about fraud or security threats
14.8. We may need to contact you urgently in the event of suspected or actual fraud or security threats to your Account, Card and/or security details. To do so, we may use an SMS, telephone, e-mail or another secure procedure. When we contact you, we may also give you information on how you can minimise any risk to your Account, Card or security details depending on the nature of the security threat. But will never ask you to give your full security details (such as PIN, password or passcode) or ask you to transfer money to a new account for security reasons.
15. LIABILITY & REFUNDS
15.1. You must notify Paynetics in writing of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payments on your Card or Account without undue delay after becoming aware of such unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment and in any case no later than two months from the date the payment was debited to your Account/Card. You can notify us of such unauthorised or incorrectly executed payments by contacting the Customer Relations Centre (see clause 21 for details). You shall be considered to be informed of an unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment as from the moment of accessing the relevant statement on the App. Paynetics shall not be held liable for any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transactions under this Article 15 where Paynetics has not received a notice within two months from the date when your Account/Card was debited.
15.2. If you notify us of an unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment in accordance with clause 15.1, you may be entitled to receive a refund of the funds as detailed below. Paynetics will verify the authenticity of the payment, its proper recording and reporting, and whether the transaction has been affected by a technical malfunction or other defect. Since you are not a user, you agree that Articles 78 and 80 of the Bulgarian Payment Services and Payment Systems Act (or the equivalent provisions of the UK law, if applicable) shall not apply to the relations with Paynetics under the Agreement.
15.3. In the event that Paynetics establishes an unauthorised transaction and where there are no reasonable grounds for suspecting that you/the Cardholder acted fraudulently, Paynetics shall refund to you the value of the unauthorised transaction within the statutory timelines. If necessary, Paynetics shall restore your Account/Card to the status it would be if the unauthorised transaction was not effected.
15.4. In you are entitled to a refund for an incorrectly executed or unauthorised payment, we will refund you as soon as possible upon receipt of your claim or any additional information we may request in order to investigate your right to a refund. However, if after we refund you, our investigation leads us to reasonably that you were not entitled to the refund, we will have the right deduct the amount of the refund from any funds on Accounts you hold with us and reserve the right to recover the value of the refunded payment by any other legal means.
15.5. In the event that Paynetics establishes an unauthorised transaction and where there are no reasonable grounds for suspecting that you/the Cardholder acted fraudulently, Paynetics shall refund to you the value of the unauthorised transaction within the statutory timelines. If necessary, Paynetics shall restore your Account/Card to the status it would be if the unauthorised transaction was not effected.
15.6. The provision of Article 15.3 hereof shall not apply and you shall bear all losses, irrespective of their amount, relating to unauthorised transactions if you/the Cardholder have caused them by fraud or failure to perform one or more of the obligations under the Agreement.
15.7. You shall pay a fee in accordance with the Tariff in the cases where it appears that their notification under Article 15.1 hereof is unjustified.
Unauthorised payments from your Account or Card
15.8. You will not be entitled to a refund and you will bear all losses, irrespective of their amount, relating to an unauthorised payment if:
15.8.1. the payment was authorised by you/the Cardholder;
15.8.2. you have acted fraudulently;
15.8.3. you have failed to comply with one or more of the obligations under this Agreement (for example, with regards to keeping your Account and Card safe or to notify us of any unauthorised payments).
Non-executed or Incorrectly executed payments from your Account or Card
15.9. If Paynetics fails to execute or incorrectly executes a payment from your Account or made using a Card, Paynetics will promptly reimburse the amount of the payment (including any fees to restore the Account to the position it would have been at if the defective payment was not made), unless Paynetics can show that the recipient’s payment service provider has received the payment (in which case they will be liable). In this case, on your request, Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to trace the payment and inform you about the outcome.
15.10. Paynetics will not be liable for any payment executed in accordance with the payment instructions given by you. If the payment instruction you have given us was incorrect or incomplete (for example, you have made a mistake in giving us the recipient’s account details), Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to recover the payment amount. Paynetics may charge you a fee for any such recovery as indicated in the Tariff. If Paynetics is not able to recover the payment amount, Paynetics will, on your written request, provide you with the relevant information about the payment.
Late or incorrectly executed payments to your Account
15.11. If a payment is received in your Account incorrectly (for example, by mistake), Paynetics may, where it considers reasonable to do so, hold the payment and return it to the sender. In any case, Paynetics is obliged to provide certain information to the sender’s payment service provider about you and the payment to enable them to recover the funds.
Payments initiated by payee
15.12. If you/the Cardholder authorise a payment initiated by or through the payee without knowing the final amount of the payment (for example, a Card payment initiated by the merchant when renting a car or booking a hotel room), you have the right to request Paynetics for a refund of such payment provided that all of the following conditions are met:
15.12.1. you have asked for a refund within 8 weeks from the date on which your Paynetics Account was debited;
15.12.2. at the time of authorisation to execute the payment, its exact amount was not specified; and
15.12.3. the amount of the payment exceeded the amount you could have reasonably expected taking into account your previous spending patterns, the terms of this Agreement and the case-specific circumstances. If the amount of the payment increased because of the currency exchange when the reference exchange rate agreed with Paynetics has been applied, it will not be a valid reason.
At the request of Paynetics, you must provide information to show the conditions above have been met.
15.13. Within 10 business days of receiving your request for a refund, or, where applicable, of receiving the further information Paynetics requested, Paynetics will refund the full amount of the payment or inform you of the refusal to refund it, together with the grounds for refusal and the authorities to which you can complain if you do not accept those grounds. The refund will include the entire amount of the payment which will be dated back to the date on which your Account was debited.
15.14. You will not be entitled to a refund of any payment initiated by or through payee when:
15.14.1. you have given your consent to perform the payment directly to Paynetics; and
15.14.2. where applicable, Paynetics or the payee has informed you about the upcoming payment at least 4 weeks before it was due to be made.

2.5.We only reimburse victims of APP Scams in certain limited circumstances, including where money is sent from your GBP Account via faster payments.

4.2. Electronic money is an electronic alternative to money. When you send money to your Account, we will credit the Account with a corresponding amount of electronic money. In these terms, when we refer to ‘money’ in your Account, what we mean is electronic money.
4.3. Once you have money in your Account, you will be able to execute Push Payments in GBP and/or EUR, as well as Card Payments and Cash Withdrawals.
4.4. Your Account differs from a bank account in that money in your Account:

4.5. Money in your Account will be safeguarded, as explained in Clause 5.
4.6. You can credit your Account by making a payment via bank transfer using the details of the IBAN or account number and sort code linked to your Account as the beneficiary account details.
4.7. If you send money to the wrong account by mistake when trying to credit your Account, you should contact the financial institution you sent money to us from. We cannot accept responsibility for this.
4.8. Please note that someone other than you can credit your Account:
(a) by making a payment via bank transfer using the details of the IBAN or account number and sort code linked to your Account as the beneficiary account details;
(b) by sending money to your Account from their own account with us.

4.10. The balance of the Account should never exceed the limits set out in the Fees Page.
4.11. We will deduct the amount of a Push Payment together with the relevant fees from your Account when a Push Payment is executed.

5. HOW WE PROTECT MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT
5.1. When we receive money for your Account, we credit the Account with electronic money and we place the equivalent amount of money in segregated bank accounts with mainstream banks. This is commonly known as safeguarding.
5.2. Safeguarding means that, in the unlikely event that we get into financial difficulties, the money which we safeguard will be protected from the claims of our creditors and it should be returned to you in full, less the costs incurred by insolvency practitioners in distributing the safeguarded funds.
5.3. Segregated bank accounts are bank accounts which we hold with mainstream banks, and which only hold client money and not our own money.
5.4. Money will not be safeguarded by us, on your behalf, when it is deducted from your Account, for example because you have executed Card Payment, a Cash Withdrawal or a Push Payment.
6. PUSH PAYMENTS
6.1. Money subject to a Push Payment and the associated fees will be deducted from your Account. We use, and make available to you, various methods to execute Push Payments, including SEPA, Faster Payments. We do not guarantee that any particular payment method will be made available to you
6.2. You can make a request for a Push Payment to be executed on your behalf via the Platform or through a payment initiation service provider. You will need to let us know:
(a) the amount of the Push Payment you wish to make;
(b) the name of the beneficiary;
(c) the reason for the payment; and
(d) if the Push Payment is to a non-Paynetics account, the account’s sort code and account number, as well as any other relevant information that we may request for you to execute the Push Payment.
6.3. The time of receipt of the request for a Push Payment is when we receive it, which will typically be on the same day the request is made.
6.4. We have implemented confirmation of payee for Push Payments from your GBP Account where the beneficiary account is located in the UK. This means that when you provide us with new beneficiary account details, we will check through the confirmation of payee system, that the name of the beneficiary you have provided us with matches the name on the account with the sort code and account number you have provided us with. You will be provided with four possible outcomes:
(a) Yes, the name and account type you supplied matches the details on the account;
(b) No, the name is a close match;
(c) No, the name doesn’t match the name held on the account;
(d) Unavailable, it has not been possible to check the name because: timeout, account doesn’t exist etc.
You should take extreme caution when placing a request to execute a Push Payment, where the name you have provided us for the beneficiary does not match exactly, or at all, the name on the account with the sort code and account number you have provided us.
You should not take the fact that the name you have provided us with matches the name on the account with the sort code and account number you have provided us with, as an assurance that you are not the subject of an APP Scam. If you have any concerns that you might be the victim of an APP Scam, you must contact us prior to executing the Push Payment.
6.5. We confirm the details of each Push Payment order placed. After a Push Payment order is processed, you will be able to see the confirmation of the Push Payment on the Platform.
6.6. If you see confirmation of a Push Payment you did not place with us, you must contact us as soon as possible via the Customer Relations Centre.
6.7. We can refuse requests to execute Push Payments. If we do so, we shall, unless it would be unlawful for us to do so, notify you of the refusal and the reasons for that refusal. We will also let you know the procedure for rectifying any factual errors that led to that refusal.

We are obliged by the Payment Services Regulations 2017 to tell you the maximum amount of time it is allowed to take, for money in your Account to arrive with the beneficiary’s bank. In most cases, it will take less time than this. However, we may delay the payment in accordance with clause 6.12. If you want details of the amount of time it is likely to take, please contact the Customer Relations Centre.
How long will it take for the money to reach the beneficiary account?

(a) view the balance of money in your Account;
(b) make requests for Push Payments to be executed using money in your Account;
(c) view the details of the transactions on your Account, including:
(i) Card Payments;
(ii) Cash Withdrawals; and
(iii) Push Payments.
8. ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNTS BY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS
8.1. You may choose to allow (and provided you have given them your explicit consent):
(a) providers of account information service (i.e. an online service which accesses one or more payment accounts to provide a consolidated view of such accounts) to access information on your Accounts; and/or

8.2. Only those providers of account information or payment initiation services that are authorised with the Financial Conduct Authority to provide the relevant service in the UK can be given access to your Accounts. The Financial Conduct Authority’s register (available at https://register.fca.org.uk/ ) will tell you whether a provider is authorised in the UK, and we recommend you check it before using their services.
8.3. We will treat any instruction from such providers of account information or payment initiation services as if it was from you. Some providers may use your Account security details to provide their service. You should always consider the implications of sharing your security information.
8.4. We can deny providers of account information or payment initiation services access to your Account if we are concerned about unauthorised or fraudulent access. We will notify you of the denial of access and the reasons for it beforehand if possible or otherwise immediately afterwards (unless doing so would compromise our security measures or would be unlawful). The access to your Account may be restored once the reasons for denying the access no longer justify such denial.
9. DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD
9.1. Your/the Cardholder’s Card is issued under the Mastercard brand pursuant to license granted by Mastercard International or under the Visa brand pursuant to license granted by Visa Europe Limited. The Card allows you/the Cardholder to:
(a) make Card Payments with merchants which accept Mastercard© or Visa©; and
(b) enter into Cash Withdrawals at ATMs which accept Mastercard© or Visa©.
9.2. We issue both physical Cards and ‘virtual’ Cards. A ‘virtual’ Card is not a physical card, rather you/the Cardholder will be provided with the card number, expiry date and security code via the Platform. You/the Cardholder can then use these details to make Card Payments with merchants.
9.3. You are fully liable for all transactions initiated with the Card.
9.4. The value of Card Payments and Cash Withdrawals made using your/the Cardholder’s Card and all applicable fees will be deducted from your Account balance. If there is insufficient balance in your Account to complete the Card Payment/Cash Withdrawal, including all applicable fees, the Card Payment/Cash Withdrawal will be refused. You will need to top-up your Account with enough money for the relevant Card Payment or Cash Withdrawal to be executed.
9.5. You will be responsible for all goods or services purchased with the Card. Any dispute with a merchant about a product or service purchased with the Card will be considered a dispute between you and the merchant, and should be addressed directly to that merchant. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect relating to and do not provide any warranties regarding such goods or services purchased with the Card.
9.6. We will not be liable if a merchant refuses to accept the Card or if we have refused to execute a Card Payment or Cash Withdrawal, whilst acting in accordance with this Agreement.
9.7. Your/the Cardholder’s Card cannot be transferred and/or made available to use by anyone but you/the Cardholder. If you/the Cardholder provide the access and/or the opportunity to use the Card to a third party, you shall be fully liable for all transactions initiated by such third parties.
9.8. Each Card has a validity period within which you/the Cardholder may use the Card. If the Card is physical, it will expire on the last day of the month/year indicated on its front. If the Card is virtual, it will expire on the last day of the month/year indicated on the Platform or on the expiry date sent to you/the Cardholder by e-mail . All Card Payments and Cash Withdrawals initiated after the expiration or cancellation of the Card will not be authorised or executed.
9.9. The physical Card will be sent to you/the Cardholder via post within 10 business days of the date your/the Cardholder’s request to have the Card issued is accepted. The Cardholder may have to produce identification to receive his/her physical Card. You/the Cardholder must sign on the signature strip on the reverse side of his/her physical Cards immediately after receiving it. Virtual Cards will be issued via the Platform immediately after the request to have a new Card issued is approved by us.
9.10. When you/the Cardholder receive the physical Card, it will be inactive. You/the Cardholder must activate the Card before its use, otherwise any Card Payments and Cash Withdrawals attempted will be rejected. The Card can be activated by you/the Cardholder through the Platform.
9.11. You/the Cardholder will be provided with a PIN to use with the physical Card. You/the Cardholder can change the PIN at an ATM. You/the Cardholder can choose a PIN to use with the virtual Card via the Platform. You/ the Cardholder should memorise the PIN and then ensure that any media on which it is recorded is destroyed or at the very least not kept with the physical Card. You/the Cardholder have important obligations to keep security details, such as PINs, safe.
9.12. You/the Cardholder may request a new physical Card if the existing Card is lost, stolen or destroyed. You will be charged a fee for replacing the physical Card (please see our Fees Page).
9.13. You/the Cardholders can give us an instruction and consent to a Card Payment and a Cash Withdrawal being executed, using your/the Cardholder’s Card, by any one of the following methods:
(a) in case of Cash Withdrawal from an ATM, by entering a PIN;
(b) in case of Card Payments in-store, by entering a PIN and/or signature on the receipt or by tapping/waving the physical Card (or a device where the virtual Card is held) over a card reader for contactless payments;
(c) in case of Card Payments online or over the phone, by providing the Card details and any other security information or credentials, when requested.
9.14. Your/the Cardholder’s consent for a Card Payment may cover a single payment or a series of recurring payments on the Card (such as where you/the Cardholder gives the Card details to a merchant to be used for Card Payments in the future) for a set or variable amount. Please be careful when providing your consent.
9.15. Merchants in certain business sectors (e.g., car rental companies, hotels and other service providers) estimate the amount of the final Card Payment to them and require us to “pre-authorise” or withhold the estimated amount on the relevant Card. Sometimes, that withheld amount may exceed the final amount spent. In such cases, the initially withheld funds will not be available on the Card for up to 15 days until the final Card Payment request is received by us or released by the merchant. We may release such amounts only with the merchant’s consent.

(b) the Push Payment or Card Payment or Cash Withdrawal (as appropriate) happened because someone we are responsible for made a mistake;

(c) the amount of the Card Payment exceeded the amount you could have reasonably expected, taking into account your previous spending patterns and the case-specific circumstances.

you failing to use the Weavr Platform for the stated purpose;
you failing to comply with any of these terms or any reasonable instruction we may issue;
you withholding information which can reasonable be considered to be relevant in our granting you access to the Weavr Platform;
your usage generating system loads that result in material negative impact on the performance of the Weavr Platform.
YOUR RIGHTS
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we or our partners (if relevant) hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Where your personal data is held by any of our partners in relation to your use of the Weavr Services, the Payment Services or otherwise, we shall act as that partner’s agent in responding to your data subject access request.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have objected to our use of Your Data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
